Cindy tosses 5 dimes into the wishing pond. Eric flips 3 quarters into the pond. Garrick throws in 8 nickels. Ivy then drops 60 pennies in. If Eric dips his hands into the water and pulls out a quarter, how much money, in cents, did they put into the pond?

Cindy puts in 10 cents x 5 =

<<10*5=50>>50 cents. Eric puts in 3 x 25 cents = <<3*25=75>>75 cents. Garrick puts in 8 x 5 cents = <<8*5=40>>40 cents. Ivy puts in 60 x 1 cent = <<60*1=60>>60 cents. After Eric pulls out a quarter, he has still left in the pond, 75 - 25 = <<75-25=50>>50 cents. Together, they put into the pond, this amount of money, 50 + 50 + 40 + 60 = <<50+50+40+60=200>>200 cents #### 200 Anthony and his friend Leonel read about the importance of keeping pets at home and decided to start adopting cats and dogs from the local rescue center. Anthony has 12 cats and dogs, 2/3 of which are cats. Leonel has half times as many cats as Anthony and seven more dogs than Anthony. How many animals in total do the two have? If Anthony has 12 pets, the number of cats is 2/3 * 12 pets = <<12*2/3=8>>8 cats The number of dogs that Anthony have is 12 pets - 8 cats = <<12-8=4>>4 dogs Leonel has 1/2 * 8 cats = <<8*1/2=4>>4 cats. If Leonel has seven more dogs than Anthony, then he has 4 dogs + 7 dogs = <<7+4=11>>11 dogs The total number of pets the two have is 11 dogs for Leonel + 4 cats for Leonel + 4 dogs for Anthony + 8 cats for Anthony = <<11+4+4+8=27>>27 #### 27 Steve wanted to make a total of $100 within four days, so he took on a berry-picking job in Sweden. The job paid $2 for every pound of lingonberries picked. On Monday he picked 8 pounds. Tuesday’s harvest was triple what he had picked the previous day. On Wednesday he felt very tired and decided to rest. How many pounds of lingonberries did Steve have to pick on Thursday? On Monday, Steve was paid 8 * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 dollars Tuesday’s harvest was 3 * 8 = <<3*8=24>>24 pounds The 24 pounds Steve picked on Tuesday gave him 24 * 2 = <<24*2=48>>48 dollars So, the amount Steve earned from the first two days on the job is 16 +48 = <<16+48=64>>64 dollars Since Steve rested on Wednesday, he made 0 dollars, meaning his earnings were 64 + 0 = <<64+0=64>>64 dollars The difference between Steve’s earnings and his target is 100 - 64 = <<100-64=36>>36 dollars Since he was paid 2 dollars for each pound of lingonberries, Steve needed to pick 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 pounds #### 18 Bert was able to sell 8 toy phones for $18 each, while Tory was able to sell 7 toy guns for $20 each. How much more did Bert earn than Tory? Bert was able to earn 8 x $18 = $<<8*18=144>>144 for the toy phones. While Tory was able to earn 7 x $20 = $<<7*20=140>>140 for the toy guns. Therefore, Bert was able to earn $144 – $140 = $<<144-140=4>>4 more than Tory. #### 4 Pauline will make tacos for dinner. She bought a box of taco shells that cost $5, 4 bell peppers that cost $1.5 each, and 2 pounds of meat that cost $3 per pound. How much did she spend in all? She spent 4 x $1.5 = $<<4*1.5=6>>6 for the four bell peppers. She spent 2 x $3 = $<<2*3=6>>6 for the 2 pounds of meat. So, Pauline spent $5 + $6 + $6 = $<<5+6+6=17>>17 in all. #### 17 A package of candy has 3 servings with 120 calories each. John eats half the package. How many calories did he eat? There were 3*120=<<3*120=360>>360 calories in the package So he ate 360/2=<<360/2=180>>180 calories #### 180 Diane bought twenty more apples than Cecile. If Cecile bought 15 apples, how many apples did they buy altogether? Diane bought 15 + 20 = <<15+20=35>>35 apples. Therefore, they bought 15 + 35 = <<15+35=50>>50 apples altogether. #### 50 At a roller derby, 4 teams are competing. Each team is made up of 10 members, and each member needs a pair of roller skates to compete in and another pair of skates as a backup. None of the skates have laces yet, so each member is offered 3 sets of laces per pair of skates. How many sets of laces have been handed out? There are a total of 4 teams * 10 members per team = <<4*10=40>>40 team members. Each person receives 1 pair of competing roller skates + 1 pair of backup roller skates = <<1+1=2>>2 pairs of roller skates. So there are a total of 40 team members * 2 pairs of roller skates per team member = <<40*2=80>>80 roller skates. There were therefore 80 roller skates * 3 sets of laces per pair of roller skates = <<80*3=240>>240 sets of laces handed out. #### 240 Bucky earns money each weekend catching and selling fish. He wants to save up for a new video game, which costs $60. Last weekend he earned $35. He can earn $5 from trout and $4 from blue-gill. He caught five fish this Sunday. If 60% were trout, and the rest were blue-gill, how much more does he need to save before he can buy the game? He is $25 short for the game because 60 - 35 = <<60-35=25>>25 He caught 3 trout because 5 x .6 = <<5*.6=3>>3 He caught 2 blue-gill because 5 - 3 = <<5-3=2>>2 He earned $15 from the trout because 3 x 5 = <<3*5=15>>15 He earned $8 from the blue-gill because 2 x 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 He earned $23 total because 15 + 8 = <<15+8=23>>23 He is $2 short because 25 - 23 = <<25-23=2>>2 #### 2 Rylee is bored and decides to count the number of leaves falling off the tree in her backyard. 7 leaves fall in the first hour. For the second and third hour, the leaves fall at a rate of 4 per hour. What is the average number of leaves which fell per hour? 7 leaves fell in the first hour. 4 leaves fell in the second hour. 4 leaves fell in the third hour. The total number of leaves that fell during the 3 hours is 7 + 4 + 4 = <<7+4+4=15>>15 leaves. The average number of leaves that fell per hour is 15 leaves / 3 hours = <<15/3=5>>5 leaves per hour. #### 5
