James goes out to eat. He orders a steak and egg meal for $16. He is with his friend, who orders chicken fried steak for $14. His friend pays for half the bill and James pays the tip along with his half of the bill. They tip 20%. How much did James pay?

The meals cost 16+14=$

<<16+14=30>>30 So each paid 30/2=$<<30/2=15>>15 James left a tip of 30*.2=$<<30*.2=6>>6 So James paid 15+6=$<<15+6=21>>21 #### 21 Sammy can eat 15 pickle slices. His twin sister Tammy can eat twice as much as Sammy. Their older brother Ron eats 20% fewer pickles slices than Tammy. How many pickle slices does Ron eat? Tammy can eat twice as many pickle slices as Sammy who eats 15 so Tammy can eat 15*2 = <<15*2=30>>30 pickle slices Ron eats 20% fewer pickle slices than Tammy who eats 30 pickle slices so that's .20*30 = <<20*.01*30=6>>6 fewer slices than Tammy Tammy eats 30 slices and Ron eats 6 less, then Ron eats 30-6 = <<30-6=24>>24 pickle slices #### 24 Cupcakes are sold in packages of 10 and 15. Jean bought 4 packs of 15 cupcakes. If she will give one cupcake each to 100 children in the orphanage, how many packs of 10 cupcakes should she need to buy? Jean already bought 15 cupcakes x 4 packs = <<15*4=60>>60 cupcakes. She needs 100 - 60 = <<100-60=40>>40 more cupcakes. Thus, she needs to buy 40/10 = <<40/10=4>>4 packs of 10 cupcakes. #### 4 At the beginning of the day there were 74 apples in a basket. If Ricki removes 14 apples and Samson removes twice as many as Ricki. How many apples are left in the basket by the end of the day? There are 74-14 = <<74-14=60>>60 apples left after Ricki removes some. Samson removes 14*2 = <<14*2=28>>28 apples. There are 60-28 = <<60-28=32>>32 apples left after Samson removes some. #### 32 A school has 15 classrooms. One-third of these classrooms have 30 desks in each classroom and the rest have 25 desks in each classroom. Only one student can sit at one desk. How many students can this school accommodate so that everyone has their own desk? One-third of the classrooms have 30 desks, so there are 1/3 * 15 = <<1/3*15=5>>5 classrooms like that. The rest, which means 15 - 5 = <<15-5=10>>10 classrooms, have 25 desks. One-third of the classrooms can fit 5 * 30 = <<5*30=150>>150 students. The rest can fit 10 * 25 = <<10*25=250>>250 students. So in total, the school can be filled with 150 + 250 = <<150+250=400>>400 students. #### 400 James decides to buy a new bed and bed frame. The bed frame is $75 and the bed is 10 times that price. He gets a deal for 20% off. How much does he pay for everything? The bed cost 75*10=$<<75*10=750>>750 So everything cost 750+75=$<<750+75=825>>825 He gets 825*.2=$<<825*.2=165>>165 off So that means he pays 825-165=$<<825-165=660>>660 #### 660 James takes 20 units per semester at community college. If each unit costs $50 how much does he pay for 2 semesters? He pays 20*50=$<<20*50=1000>>1000 per semester So he pays 1000*2=$<<1000*2=2000>>2000 #### 2000 There are six chairs in each row in a church. If there are 20 rows of chairs in the church, and each chair holds five people, calculate the number of people who have to sit in the chairs for the church to be full. If there are six chairs in each row in the church, the total number of chairs in the church is 6*20 = <<6*20=120>>120 Since each chair holds 5 people, 5*120 = <<5*120=600>>600 people must sit in all of the chairs for the church to be full. #### 600 Tim gets 6 hours of sleep 2 days in a row. To make up for it he sleeps 10 hours the next 2 days. How much sleep did he get? He got 2*6=<<2*6=12>>12 hours the first 2 days. The next 2 days he gets 2*10=<<2*10=20>>20 hours. So he got 12+20=<<12+20=32>>32 hours. #### 32 Jeanne wants to ride the Ferris wheel, the roller coaster, and the bumper cars. The Ferris wheel costs 5 tickets, the roller coaster costs 4 tickets and the bumper cars cost 4 tickets. Jeanne has 5 tickets. How many more tickets should Jeanne buy? The total number of tickets needed is 5 tickets + 4 tickets + 4 tickets = <<5+4+4=13>>13 tickets. Jeanne needs 13 tickets - 5 tickets = <<13-5=8>>8 tickets. #### 8
