Miriam spent 30 minutes doing laundry, 15 minutes cleaning the bathroom, a certain amount of time cleaning her room, and 40 minutes doing homework. If she spent a total of two hours on these tasks, how long, in minutes, did she spend cleaning her room?

There are 30+15+40=

<<30+15+40=85>>85 minutes accounted for. She spent 2*60=<<2*60=120>>120 minutes. She spent 120-85=<<120-85=35>>35 minutes cleaning her room. #### 35 Mrs. Wilsborough saved $500 to buy concert tickets for her family. She bought 2 VIP tickets at $100 each and 3 regular tickets at $50 each. How much of her savings does Mrs. Wilsborough have after she buys the tickets? The 2 VIP tickets amount to $100 x 2 = $<<100*2=200>>200. The 3 regular tickets amount to $50 x 3 = $<<50*3=150>>150. Thus, the total cost of the tickets is $200 + $150 = $<<200+150=350>>350. Therefore, Mrs. Wilsborough is left with $500 - $350 = $<<500-350=150>>150 of her savings. #### 150 Bryan works as a social media account manager. He does marketing posts, advertisement posts, and customer outreach posts. His client has him spend four hours on customer outreach posts and half that time on advertisement posts each day. Bryan works eight hours a day. How much time in hours each day does he spend on marketing posts? Let M be the number of hours Bryan spends on marketing posts. He spends 4 / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 hours on advertisement posts a day. He works M + 4 + 2 = 8 hours a day. Thus, Bryan spends M = 8 - 4 - 2 = <<8-4-2=2>>2 hours on marketing posts each day. #### 2 Mom went shopping at the market. She left with €55. She bought 2 packs of bananas for €4 each, pears for €2, asparagus for €6 and finally a chicken for €11. How much money does Mom have left? Mom bought things that cost: 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 11 = €<<4+4+2+6+11=27>>27 . So she has 55 – 27 = €<<55-27=28>>28 left #### 28 Rose had 10 kilograms of rice. She cooked 9/10 kilograms in the morning and 1/4 of the remaining in the evening. How many grams of rice did she have left? Rose cooked 10 x 9/10 = <<10*9/10=9>>9 kilograms of rice in the morning. She had 10 - 9 = <<10-9=1>>1 kilogram of rice left then. One kilogram is equal to 1 x 1000 = <<1*1000=1000>>1000 grams. So, Rose cooked 1000 x 1/4 = <<1000*1/4=250>>250 grams of rice in the evening. Therefore, she has 1000 - 250 = <<1000-250=750>>750 grams of rice left. #### 750 Calvin and Paislee played a pool game where points were awarded for winning a round. If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3/4 times as many points as Calvin, how many points was Paislee required to achieve to have a chance of tying the game? If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3/4 times as many points as Calvin, Paislee had scored 3/4*500=375 points. To have a chance of tying the game, Paislee had to score 500-375=<<500-375=125>>125 points #### 125 There is three less than four times the number of students in Elementary School as there are in Middle School. If the number of students in Middle school is 50, calculate the total number of students in both levels. The number of students in elementary school is three less than four times the number in middle school: 4 * 50 students = 200 students. This means that there are 200 students - 3 students = <<200-3=197>>197 students in Elementary school. The total number of students in both levels is 197 students + 50 students = <<197+50=247>>247 students #### 247 Ever since she was a little girl, Sheila has dreamed of traveling the world. To help fund her dream, she bought a large piggy bank in December and started saving. By last week, she had saved $3,000. Pleased with her progress, she has decided to continue saving $276 per month, for 4 years. Today, Sheila’s family secretly added $7,000 into the piggy bank. At the end of 4 years, how much money will be in Sheila’s piggy bank? Today, Sheila’s piggy bank has $3000 + $7000 = $<<3000+7000=10000>>10000 Sheila will be saving for 4 years which is equivalent to 12 months/year * 4 years = <<12*4=48>>48 months In 4 years, she will save $276/month * 48 months = $<<276*48=13248>>13248 The piggy bank will have a total of $10,000 + $13,248 = $<<10000+13248=23248>>23248 #### 23248 A frog lays her eggs over a series of 4 days. The first day she lays 50 eggs. The second day, she doubles her production of eggs. The third day she lays 20 more than the second day, and the last day she doubles the first three days total. How many eggs did the frog lay over the span of the 4 days? Day 1:50 Day 2:50(2)=100 Day 3:100+20=<<100+20=120>>120 Day 4:2(50+100+120)=540 Total:50+100+120+540=<<50+100+120+540=810>>810 eggs #### 810 In the school's library, there are 2300 different books. 80% of all the books are in English, but only 60% of these books were published in the country. How many English-language books have been published outside the country? There are 80/100 * 2300 = <<80/100*2300=1840>>1840 books in English at the library. Out of these books, only 60/100 * 1840 = <<60/100*1840=1104>>1104 were published inside the country. So there are 1840 - 1104 = <<1840-1104=736>>736 books in English published outside of the country. #### 736
