Patrick is half the age of his elder brother Robert. If Robert will turn 30 after 2 years, how old is Patrick now?

The age of Robert now is 30 - 2 =

<<30-2=28>>28 years old. So, Patrick is 28 / 2 = <<28/2=14>>14 years old. #### 14 On Monday, Matt worked for 450 minutes in his office. On Tuesday, he worked half the number of minutes he worked on Monday. On Wednesday, he worked for 300 minutes. How many more minutes did he work on Wednesday than on Tuesday. On Tuesday Matt worked 450 minutes / 2 = <<450/2=225>>225 minutes. On Wednesday Matt worked 300 minutes - 225 minutes = <<300-225=75>>75 minutes more. #### 75 It takes David 10 minutes to wash 4 windows. David's house has 64 windows. How many minutes will it take David to wash all of the windows? It takes 10 minutes to wash 4 windows and he has 64 windows so that breaks down to 64/4 = 16 units It takes 10 minutes to wash a unit of windows and he has 16 units so 10*16 = <<10*16=160>>160 minutes #### 160 Anna baked 60 cupcakes. She gives away 4/5 of the cupcakes to her classmates. Of the remaining 1/5 of cupcakes, she eats 3 cupcakes. How many cupcakes does she have left? After giving away 4/5 of the cupcakes, Anna has 60 / 5 = <<60/5=12>>12 cupcakes After eating 3 cupcakes, Anna has 12 - 3 = <<12-3=9>>9 cupcakes. #### 9 Nico borrows 3 books from the library on Monday. On Monday, he reads the first book with a total of 20 pages. On Tuesday, he reads the second book with a total of 12 pages. On Wednesday, he reads the third book. If he has read a total of 51 pages from Monday to Wednesday, how many pages did he read on Wednesday? From Monday to Tuesday, Nico reads a total of 20 + 12 = <<20+12=32>>32 pages. On Wednesday, he read a total of 51 - 32 = <<51-32=19>>19 pages. #### 19 When the strawberries at Fruity Farm are ready for harvest, Miguel charges each interested picker $4 to access the strawberry fields. Once there, people pick as many strawberries as they wish, and then take them to Miguel for weighing and pricing. This year, the standard price of a pound of strawberries is $20. Miguel is a very generous man. He deducts the entrance charge from the cost of the harvest. Sally, Jenny and Moses have just finished their strawberry picking and are headed home. They paid $128 for their harvest. How many pounds of strawberry did they pick? To gain entry into the strawberry fields, Sally, Jenny and Moses paid a total of 4 * 3 = <<4*3=12>>12 dollars This means that before Miguel applied the $12 discount, the cost was 128 + 12 = <<128+12=140>>140 dollars We get the weight by dividing the cost by the price of strawberries per pound, 140/20 = <<140/20=7>>7 pounds #### 7 Daniela goes shopping during a sale. She finds out that the store has 40 percent off on shoes and 20 percent off dresses. If Daniela buys 2 pairs of shoes originally priced at $50 a pair and a dress originally priced at $100, how much money does she spend? Two pairs of shoes at $50 a pair costs $50 x 2 = $<<50*2=100>>100. The shoes are discounted by 40 percent so she only pays 100 - 40 = <<100-40=60>>60 percent of the original price. Therefore the two pairs of shoes cost $100 x 0.60 = $<<100*0.60=60>>60. The dress is discounted by 20 percent so she only pays 100 - 20 = <<100-20=80>>80 percent of the original price. Therefore the dress costs $100 x 0.80 = $<<100*0.80=80>>80. In total Daniela spends $60 + $80 = $<<60+80=140>>140 for two pairs of shoes and a dress. #### 140 Nellie can eat 12 sourball candies before crying. Jacob can only manage half of that number of candies, and Lana can only do three fewer than Jacob. They had a bucket of 30 candies, and all of them ate until they cried. If they divide the remaining candies in the bucket equally, how many sourball candies will they each get? Jacob can eat 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 candies before crying. Lana can eat 6 - 3 = <<6-3=3>>3 candies before crying. Nellie, Jacob, and Lana all ate until they cried, so they ate 12 + 6 + 3 = <<12+6+3=21>>21 candies. Thus, there are 30 - 21 = <<30-21=9>>9 candies left in the bucket. After dividing the remaining candies equally, they will each get 9 / 3 = <<9/3=3>>3 sourball candies. #### 3 John sublets his apartment to 3 people who each pay $400 per month. He rents the apartment for $900 a month. How much profit does he make in a year? He gets 3*$400=$<<3*400=1200>>1200 per month So he gets 1200*12=$<<1200*12=14400>>14,400 per year So he pays 12*900=$<<12*900=10800>>10800 a year That means his profit is 14400-10800=$<<14400-10800=3600>>3600 per year #### 3600 In a northwestern town, it rained 4 inches per day during the first 15 days of November. For the remainder of the month, the average daily rainfall was twice the amount observed during the first 15 days. What is the total amount of rainfall for this town in November, in inches? Since November has 30 days, the town received 4 inches of rain for the first half of the month for 30/2 = 15 days. The total inches of rain that the town received for the 15 days is 15*4 = <<15*4=60>>60 inches. The rain falling in the town increased by 2*4 = <<2*4=8>>8 inches per day for the remaining half of the month. Therefore, for the rest of the month, the town received 8*15 = <<8*15=120>>120 inches of rain. The total amount of rain the town received in November is 120+60 = <<120+60=180>>180 inches #### 180
