Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog. If in 6 years, Tom's brother will be 30 years, how old is Tom's dog going to be in six years?
If in six years Tom's brother will be 30 years old, he is currently 30-6 = <<30-6=24>>24 years old. Since Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog, Tom's dog is 24/4 = <<24/4=6>>6 years old currently. Tom's dog will be 6+6 = <<6+6=12>>12 years old in six years. #### 12

There are 180 days in a school year. A senior can skip their final exams if they miss 5% or less of the school year. Hazel has missed 6 days of school due to illness. How many more days can she miss and still not have to take her exams?
There are 180 days in the school year and she can miss up to 5% so that’s 180*.05 = <<180*.05=9>>9 days Hazel has been sick 6 days already and she can only miss 9 days or less so she can miss 9-6 = <<9-6=3>>3 more days #### 3

The total money Jerry needs to make for 5 days to get $50 per night is 5 nights * $50/night = $<<5*50=250>>250. His total earnings for the past four days is $20 + $60 + $15 + $40 = $<<20+60+15+40=135>>135. So, Jerry needs to earn $250 - $135 = $<<250-135=115>>115 in tips tonight. #### 115

Regions I, II, and III are bounded by shapes. The perimeter of region I is 16 units and the perimeter of region II is 36 units. Region III is a triangle with a perimeter equal to the average of the perimeters of regions I and II. What is the ratio of the area of region I to the area of region III? Express your answer a...

Determine the smallest positive real number $ k$ with the following property. Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral, and let points $ A_1$, $ B_1$, $ C_1$, and $ D_1$ lie on sides $ AB$, $ BC$, $ CD$, and $ DA$, respectively. Consider the areas of triangles $ AA_1D_1$, $ BB_1A_1$, $ CC_1B_1$ and $ DD_1C_1$; let $ S$ be...

In a regular octagon, there are two types of diagonals - one that connects alternate vertices (shorter) and another that skips two vertices between ends (longer). What is the ratio of the shorter length to the longer length? Express your answer as a common fraction in simplest form.
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
Consider a pentagonal prism with seven faces, fifteen edges, and ten vertices. One of its faces will be used as the base for a new pyramid. Calculate the maximum value of the sum of the number of exterior faces, vertices, and edges of the combined solid (prism and pyramid).
