Betty is planning to host her friends over for a party. She buys drinks, cakes, and ice creams at a unit cost of $2, $10, and $5 respectively. How much does she spend if she buys 10 drinks, 5 cakes, and 100 ice creams?

The amount she spends on buying drinks is $2*10= $

<<2*10=20>>20. The amount she spends on buying cakes is $10*5= $<<10*5=50>>50. The amount she spends on buying ice creams is $5*100=$<<5*100=500>>500. The total amount she spends is $20+$50+$500=$<<20+50+500=570>>570 #### 570 There were 90 people at the summer picnic. There were 50 soda cans, 50 plastic bottles of sparkling water, and 50 glass bottles of juice. One-half of the guests drank soda, one-third of the guests drank sparkling water, and four-fifths of the juices were consumed. How many recyclable cans and bottles were collected? The soda cans were consumed by 90 / 2 = <<90/2=45>>45 guests. The sparkling water was consumed by 90 / 3 = <<90/3=30>>30 guests. The juice bottles were consumed by 4/5 x 50 = <<4/5*50=40>>40 guests In total there are 45 + 30 + 40 = <<45+30+40=115>>115 recyclable cans and bottles. #### 115 Cadence has worked for her new company five months longer than she worked for her old company. If she worked at her old company for 3 years earning $5000 per month, and she's now earning 20% more in the new company, calculate the total amount of money she's earned in both companies in the period she's worked for them? In her old company, if she worked for three years, the total number of months she was paid for is 3 years*12, which is the number of months in a year = <<3*12=36>>36 months. If each month she was paid $5000, her total earnings in the old company were $5000* 36 =$<<5000*36=180000>>180000 In her new company, she is paid 20% more, which is 20/100*$5000 = $<<20/100*5000=1000>>1000 per month more than what she was paid at the old company. In total, she earns $5000+$1000 = $<<5000+1000=6000>>6000 per month in her new company. Since she's worked five months more in the new company than the old company, she has worked for 36+5 = <<36+5=41>>41 months in the new company. The total amount she's earned in the new company is $6000*41 = $<<6000*41=246000>>246000 The combined total for both companies is $246000+$180000 = $<<246000+180000=426000>>426000 #### 426000 John has to get a new blanket. He decides to have a 7 foot by 8-foot quilt made. The quilt costs $40 per square foot. How much does his quilt cost? The quilt is 7*8=<<7*8=56>>56 square feet So it cost 40*56=<<40*56=2240>>2240 #### 2240 There are 8 loads of laundry that need to be washed. Each load of laundry takes around 45 minutes to complete in the wash cycle and 1 hour in the dry cycle. How long, in hours, will it take to complete the entire set of laundry? Each load takes 60 + 45 = <<60+45=105>>105 minutes There are 8 loads that take 8*105=<<8*105=840>>840 minutes It takes 840/60=<<840/60=14>>14 hours #### 14 Ann, Becky, and Julia are working at a pharmacy, every day for 8 hours. Each of them is providing service to 7 customers per hour. One day Julia had to finish her work earlier, so she was working only for 6 hours. How many customers did all three of these women serve that day in total? Ann and Becky have worked for 8 hours each, so both of them worked for 2 people * 8 hours/person = <<2*8=16>>16 hours. All three of them, including Julia, were working for 16 hours + 6 hours = 22 hours. So in total, they all have served 7 customers/hour * 22 hours = <<7*22=154>>154 customers in one day. #### 154 Bailey needs to buy 2 new sets of towels for the guest bathroom and 4 new sets for her master bathroom. The set of towels for the guest bathroom are $40.00 each and the master bathroom set is $50.00 each. The store is currently offering 20% off so how much will Bailey spend on towel sets? She needs 2 sets of guest towels that are $40.00 each so that’s 2*40 = $<<2*40=80.00>>80.00 She needs 4 sets of master bath towels that are $50.00 each so that’s 4*50 = $<<4*50=200.00>>200.00 Together, the towels will cost 80+200 = $<<80+200=280.00>>280.00 The store is offering 20% off of her $280.00 towels so that’s 280*.20 = $<<280*.20=56.00>>56.00 discount Her $280.00 towels have a $56.00 discount making them 280-56 =$<<280-56=224.00>>224.00 #### 224 Ashley had a birthday party and invited 20 of her friends, telling them to each invite one more person to attend the party. If half the number of the invited guests each came with one more person, what's the total number of people at the party, including Ashley? If she invited 20 friends, then the number of friends who came with one more person is 1/2*20 = <<20*1/2=10>>10. If the 10 friends came with 10 more people, the total number of guests becomes 20+10 = 30 guests. If you add Ashley, the total number of people in the party is 30+1 = <<30+1=31>>31 people #### 31 In a glee club, there are two times as many female than male members. How many female members are there if there are 18 members in the club? The club has a female group which has twice as many members as the male group, so there are 2+1=<<2+1=3>>3 groups in the club. There are 18 members in the club, which means there are 18/3 = <<18/3=6>>6 members per group. Since the number of female members consists of two groups, then there are 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 female members in the club. #### 12 To make a shed in his backyard, Tom needs 1000 bricks. He can buy half of the bricks for 50% off of $.50. The other Half he needs to pay full price. How many dollars does Tom spend? Tom can buy 1000/2=<<1000/2=500>>500 for half price. He will spend $.50/2= $<<.50/2=.25>>.25 on the half-priced bricks. Thus, he will spend 500*$.25=$<<500*.25=125>>125 on the half-priced bricks. He will spend 500*$.50=$<<500*.50=250>>250 on the full-priced bricks. Thus, he will spend $125+$250=$<<125+250=375>>375 total. #### 375
