Kirt has a $6000 monthly salary when he started his job. After a year of working, his salary increased by 30%. How much are his total earnings after 3 years?

His annual salary for the first year of working is 6000 x 12= $

<<6000*12=72000>>72000. Kirt's monthly increase is $6000 x 30/100= $<<6000*30/100=1800>>1800. So, he received $6000 + $1800= $<<6000+1800=7800>>7800 monthly on the second and third year of working. Kirt's annual salary in the second and third year was $7800 x 12 = $93600. Thus, his total earning after 3 years is $72000 + $93600 + $93600 = $<<72000+93600+93600=259200>>259200. #### 259200 Julia is performing in her high school musical this weekend and her family wants to come to the show. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children. If her mom, dad, grandma, and three little sisters come to the show, how much will the total be for their tickets? The cost will for 3 adults will be $12/adult x 3 adults = $<<12*3=36>>36 The cost for 3 children will be $10/child x 3 children = $<<10*3=30>>30 The total cost will be $36 + $30 = $<<36+30=66>>66 #### 66 Ian is looking to lose some weight. He decides to start jogging around his apartment complex every night to burn some calories. He does 5 laps around the complex every night. Each lap is 100 feet. If it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, how many calories does Ian burn after 5 days of jogging like this? First, we need to determine how many feet Ian runs in a week. We begin this by multiplying the number of laps by the number of feet per lap, performing 5*100= <<5*100=500>>500 feet per day. Since there are 5 days in the period being measured, this means Ian runs 500*5= <<2500=2500>>2500 feet jogged. Since it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, this means Ian burns 2500/25=<<2500/25=100>>100 calories burned jogging throughout the week. #### 100 Andy started out the year weighing 156 pounds. He then grew 3 inches and gained 36 pounds. Andy wasn't happy with his weight and decided to exercise. Over the next 3 months, he lost an eighth of his weight every month. How much less does Andy weigh now than at the beginning of the year? Andy weighed 156 + 36 = <<156+36=192>>192 pounds after growing taller. An eighth of his weight is 1/8 x 192 = <<1/8*192=24>>24 pounds. Over the next 3 months, Andy lost 24 x 3 = <<24*3=72>>72 pounds. He now weighs 192 - 72 = <<192-72=120>>120 pounds. Andy weighs 156 - 120 = <<156-120=36>>36 pounds less than at the beginning of the year. #### 36 Leticia, Nina, and Rosalie have a total of 25 people on their dance team. If 8 people quit, but 13 new people got in, how many people are there now on the team? There are 25 - 8 = <<25-8=17>>17 people in their dance team after 8 people quit. Therefore, there are 17 + 13 = <<17+13=30>>30 people now after 13 new people got in. #### 30 During the holidays, Lance works as a merchandiser. He works 35 hours a week, spread equally over 5 workdays. If Lance earns $9 an hour, how much does he make on each workday? Lance works 35 / 5 = <<35/5=7>>7 hours a day. So he makes $9 x 7 = $<<9*7=63>>63 on each workday. #### 63 Emily wants to know how much it rained last week. She sees that it rained 2 inches on Monday morning and 1 more inch later that day. It rained twice that much on Tuesday. It did not rain on Wednesday but on Thursday it rained 1 inch. The biggest storm was on Friday when the total was equal to Monday through Thursday combined. What was the daily average rain total for the week? The total rain was 2 inches + 1 inches = <<2+1=3>>3 inches on Monday. The total rain was 2 * 3 inches = <<2*3=6>>6 inches on Tuesday. The total rain was 0 inches + 1 inch = <<0+1=1>>1 inch across Wednesday and Thursday. The total rain was 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch = <<3+6+1=10>>10 inches on Friday. There were 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch + 10 inches = <<3+6+1+10=20>>20 inches total last week. 20 inches/5 days = <<20/5=4>>4 inches average daily rain. #### 4 Jonah bought 6 pineapples for $3 each. Each pineapple could be cut into 12 pineapple rings. He sold 4 pineapple rings for $5 each. How much profit did Jonah make? Jonah spent 6 x $3 = $<<6*3=18>>18 He made a total of 6 x 12 = <<6*12=72>>72 pineapple rings. He sold 72/4 = <<72/4=18>>18 sets of pineapple rings. He made 18 x $5 = $<<18*5=90>>90 His profit was $90 - $18 = $<<90-18=72>>72 #### 72 Mrs. Smith wanted to buy wears worth $500. She went to a boutique with the $500 but by the time she had picked out everything she liked, she realized that she would need two-fifths more money than she had. If the shop owner gave her a discount of 15%, how much more money will she still need? Two fifths of $500 is (2/5)*$500 = $<<(2/5)*500=200>>200 She needed $200 more than $500 which is $200+ $500 = $<<200+500=700>>700 15% of $700 is (15/100)*$700 = $<<(15/100)*700=105>>105 She was given a $105 discount so she has to pay $700-$105 = $595 She would still need $595-$500= $<<595-500=95>>95 #### 95 At a certain bookstore, the best-selling book, "TOP," costs $8. The least-selling book, "ABC," costs $23. Thirteen "TOP" books and four "ABC" books were sold last week. What is the difference in the bookstore's earnings on these two books last week? On "TOP" books the bookstore made 13 * 8 = $<<13*8=104>>104. The "ABC" books, on the other hand, were sold for a total of 4 * 23 = $<<4*23=92>>92. The difference between earnings from these two books is 104 - 92 = $<<104-92=12>>12. #### 12
