Theodore can craft 10 stone statues and 20 wooden statues every month. A stone statue costs $20 and a wooden statue costs $5. He also pays 10 percent of his total earnings in taxes. How much is his total earning every month?

Theodore's total earnings from the stone statues are 10 x $20 = $

<<10*20=200>>200. His total earnings from wooden statues are 20 x $5 = $<<20*5=100>>100. So his total earnings from the stone and wooden statue are $200 + $100 = $<<200+100=300>>300. The amount he pays for the tax is $300 x 10/100 = $<<300*10/100=30>>30. Therefore his total monthly earnings are $300 - $30 = $<<300-30=270>>270. #### 270 Michonne is inviting her friends to her birthday party. She invites 6 of her friends from school and 12 of her friends from her neighborhood. Each of her friends asks if they can bring two friends along as well. How many people are going to Michonne’s birthday party? Michonne has invited 6 + 12 = <<6+12=18>>18 friends. These friends have invited another 18 friends * 2 = <<18*2=36>>36 people. So in total, there are 18 friends + 36 people = <<18+36=54>>54 people going to Michonne’s party. #### 54 This week, the fishmonger sold 50 kg of salmon. He sold three times more the following week. What was the total amount of fish sold in two weeks? The following week, he sold 50 x 3 = <<50*3=150>>150 kg of salmon. So he sold 50 + 150 = <<50+150=200>>200 kg of fish. #### 200 Wendi brought home 4 chickens. After a few days, she brought home enough additional chickens to double the number of chickens she owned. Then, a neighbor's dog ate one of her chickens. Finally, Wendi found an additional 4 less than ten chickens and brought them home too. After this, how many chickens does Wendi have? Wendi doubled her number of chickens from 4 to 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 chickens. After a dog ate one of the chickens, 8-1=<<8-1=7>>7 chickens remained. 4 less than 10 is 10-4=<<10-4=6>>6. Therefore, Wendi added another 4 less than ten chickens for a total of 7+6=13 chickens. #### 13 Pam has 10 bags of apples. Each of her bags has as many apples as 3 of Gerald's bags. If Gerald's bags have 40 apples each, how many apples does Pam have? Each of Pam's bags contain 40*3=<<40*3=120>>120 apples. Pam has 120*10=<<120*10=1200>>1200 apples. #### 1200 Mr. Williams bought 10 gallons of juice for a party. Each gallon has 10 cups. At the party, 5 cups of juice were left. How many cups of juice were drunk? Mr. Williams bought 10 x 10 = <<10*10=100>>100 cups of juice. Since 5 cups were left, then 100 - 5 = <<100-5=95>>95 cups were drunk. #### 95 Joel’s garden is 64 square feet large. He wants to use half of the garden for fruits and half of the garden for vegetables. He wants to use a quarter of the fruit section for strawberries. How many square feet of the garden will be used for strawberries? The number of square feet used for fruit is 64 / 2 = <<64/2=32>>32 square feet The number of square feet used for strawberries is 32 / 4 = <<32/4=8>>8 square feet #### 8 A charcoal grill burns fifteen coals to ash every twenty minutes of grilling. The grill ran for long enough to burn three bags of coals. Each bag of coal contains 60 coals. How long did the grill run? The grill burned 3 * 60 = <<3*60=180>>180 coals. It takes 20 minutes to burn 15 coals, so the grill ran for 180 / 15 * 20 = <<180/15*20=240>>240 minutes. #### 240 Djibo is 17 years old. Five years ago Djibo added his age with his sister's age and the sum was 35. How many years old is Djibo's sister today? Age 5 years ago: 17 - 5 = <<17-5=12>>12 Sister's age 5 years ago: 35 - 12 = <<35-12=23>>23 Sister's age today: 23 + 5 = <<23+5=28>>28 years Djibo's sister is 28 years old today. #### 28 Janet makes 50 snowballs and her brother makes 150 snowballs. What percentage of the snowballs did Janet make? First add the number of snowballs each person made to find the total: 50 snowballs + 150 snowballs = <<50+150=200>>200 snowballs Then divide the number Janet made by the total number and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 50 snowballs / 200 snowballs * 100% = 25% #### 25
