A pie shop charges $3 per slice of custard pie. They cut each whole pie into 10 slices. If they make 6 whole custard pies, how much money will the pie shop earn?

The pie shop has 6 x 10 =

<<6*10=60>>60 slices of custard pie. Therefore, the pie shop will earn $3 x 60 = $<<3*60=180>>180 for the 60 slices of custard pie. #### 180 A fruit and vegetable merchant installed 15 kg of carrots, 13 kg of zucchini and 8 kg of broccoli. He sold only half of them. What mass of vegetables did he sell? You first need to know the total weight of the vegetables, so you add each quantity: 15 + 13 + 8 = <<15+13+8=36>>36 kg Then you have to find half of 36: 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 kg. So, he sold 18 kg of vegetables. #### 18 Elysse can carry 3 bags of groceries into her home with each trip from the car. Her brother can carry the same amount. How many trips will it take them to carry 30 bags of groceries? Elysse and her brother can carry 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 bags of groceries with each trip from the car. Therefore, it will take both of them 30/6 = <<30/6=5>>5 trips. #### 5 Jennifer has ten pears, 20 oranges, and twice as many apples as pears. If she gives her sister two of each fruit, how many fruits does she have left? Jennifer has 2*10 = <<2*10=20>>20 apples. She has a total of 10+20+20 = <<10+20+20=50>>50 fruits. She gives her sister 2 pears+2 oranges+2 apples = <<2+2+2=6>>6 fruits. After giving her sister 2 of each fruit, she has 50-6 = <<50-6=44>>44 fruits left. #### 44 Clara brings a package of 100 stickers to school. She gives 10 stickers to a boy she likes. She gives half of the stickers which she has left to her best friends. How many stickers does Clara have left? She gives the boy she likes 10 stickers. After giving the boy his stickers, she has 100 – 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 stickers left. She gives her best friends 90 / 2 = <<90/2=45>>45 stickers This leaves Clara with 90 – 45 stickers = <<90-45=45>>45 stickers. #### 45 Annie is trying to figure out whether it's safe to drive her truck. For every 3 degrees the temperature drops below 32 degrees, Annie's chances of skidding on ice increase 5%. If she goes into a skid, she has a 40% of regaining control. Otherwise, she'll have a serious accident. If the temperature is 8 degrees, what is the percentage chance of Annie getting into a serious accident if she drives? First find how many degrees below 32 the temperature is: 32 degrees - 8 degrees = <<32-8=24>>24 degrees Then divide that amount by the number of degrees per 5% increase in skid risk to find how many 5% increases there are: 24 degrees / 3 degrees/5% increase = <<24/3=8>>8 5% increases Multiply the number of increases by 5% to find the total increase in skid risk: 8 * 5% = 40% Now find the chance that Annie has a serious accident if she goes into a skid by subtracting the chance she regains control from 100%: 100% - 40% = 60% Finally, multiply the chance of going into a skid by the chance of having a serious accident after a skid to find the total risk of a serious accident: 60% * 40% = 24% #### 24 Max was doing homework in three different subjects. It took him 20 minutes to finish tasks from biology and two times more time to finish history. Geography took him the most time, three times more than history. How much time did Max spend on doing his homework? Max finished history in 20 * 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 minutes. Finishing geography took the most time, which is 40 * 3 = <<40*3=120>>120 minutes. In total, for all three subjects, Max needed 20 + 40 + 120 = <<20+40+120=180>>180 minutes. #### 180 Roger rode his bike for 2 miles this morning, and then 5 times that amount in the evening. How many miles did Roger ride his bike for? Roger rode for 2 miles in the morning, and then 5 times that in the evening for 5*2=10 miles ridden in the evening In total, that means Roger rode 2+10=<<2+10=12>>12 miles over the course of the day. #### 12 Merill has twice as many marbles as Elliot and the two of them together have five fewer marbles than Selma. If Selma has fifty marbles, how many marbles does Merill have? If Selma has fifty marbles, then Merill and Elliot together have 50-5 = <<50-5=45>>45 marbles. We'll assume the number of marbles that Elliot has is x. If Merill has twice as many marbles as Elliot, then the total number of marbles that Merill and Elliot have together is 2x+x = 45 marbles. This translates to 3x= 45 The number of marbles that Elliot has is x = 45/3 This means Elliot has x = 15 marbles. Since Merill has twice as many marbles as Elliot, Merill has 2*15 = <<2*15=30>>30 marbles. #### 30 Harrison buys a regular croissant on Saturdays for $3.50 and an almond croissant for $5.50 on Sundays. How much does he spend on croissants in a year? He buys a plain croissant for $3.50 and an almond croissant for $5.50 for a total of $3.50 + $5.50 = $<<3.5+5.5=9.00>>9.00 on pastries per weekend In one year, which is 52 weeks, he spends 52*$9 = $<<52*9=468.00>>468.00 on pastries #### 468
