Every morning, Jason eats an omelet made using three eggs. How many eggs will Jason consume in two weeks?
Two weeks is 7*2=
<<7*2=14>>14 days. If Jason eats three eggs per day for two weeks, then he consumes 3*14=<<3*14=42>>42 eggs. #### 42 David swims the 100-meter freestyle in 48 seconds. He swims the 100-meter backstroke 4 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter freestyle, he swims the 100-meter butterfly 3 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter backstroke, and he swims the 100-meter breaststroke 2 seconds slower than he swims the 100-meter butterfly. What is the combined length of time, in seconds, it would take for him to swim all four 100-meter events (the freestyle, the backstroke, the butterfly, and the breaststroke)? David swims the 100m backstroke at 48+4=52 seconds. He swims the 100m butterfly at 52+3=55 seconds. He swims the 100m breaststroke at 55+2=57 seconds IN total, it would take David 48+52+55+57=<<48+52+55+57=212>>212 seconds #### 212 The GooGoo brand of clothing manufactures two types of shirts, one with 3 buttons and the other with 5 buttons. A large department store ordered GooGoo to manufacture 200 of each type of shirt. How many buttons will the GooGoo brand use to manufacturer all of the shirts for this order? To make 200 of the first type of shirt, they will need 200*3=<<200*3=600>>600 buttons. To make 200 of the second type of shirt, they will need 200*5=<<200*5=1000>>1000 buttons. To manufacture 200 each of both types of shirts, they will need to use 600+1000=1600 buttons. #### 1600 1,800 fish swim westward, 3,200 swim eastward, and 500 swim north. What is the number of fish left in the sea, if fishers catch 2/5 of the fish that swam eastward and 3/4 of the fish that swam westward? When fishers caught 3/4 of the fish that swam westward, their total number reduced by 3/4 * 1800 fish = <<3/4*1800=1350>>1350 The total number of fish that remained from the total number that swam eastward is 1800 fish - 1350 fish = <<1800-1350=450>>450 fish If fishers caught 2/5 of the fish that swam eastward, their total number reduced by 2/5 * 3200 fish = <<2/5*3200=1280>>1280 fish 3200 fish - 1280 fish = <<3200-1280=1920>>1920 fish remained in the sea from the number that swam westward. The total number of fish in the sea after fishers caught some is 500 of the number that went north + 450 of the fish that swam westward + 1920 of the fish that swam eastward = <<500+450+1920=2870>>2870 fish #### 2870 A bathroom has 10 6 inch tiles along its width and 20 6 inch tiles along its length. What is the square footage of the bathroom? There are 10 tiles that are 6 inches long running the width of the bathroom so it is 10*6 = <<10*6=60>>60 inches long There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 60 inches wide so it is 60/12 = 5 feet wide There are 20 tiles that are 6 inches long running the length of the bathroom so it’s 20*6 = <<20*6=120>>120 inches long There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 120 inches long so it is 120/12 = <<120/12=10>>10 feet wide The square footage is l x w so the bathroom has 10*5 = <<10*5=50>>50 sq feet #### 50 Celina enjoys hiking in the mountains. Due to a lack of proper equipment, she decided to order a new pair of boots, a flashlight, and a special hoodie. The hoodie cost $80 and the flashlight was only 20% of that price. The pair of boots cost was $110, but due to a special promotion, Celina was able to buy them 10% cheaper. How much did Celina spend in total on the above-mentioned equipment? The flashlight was 20% of the price of the hoodie, so 80 * 20/100 = $<<80*20/100=16>>16. The promotion for a pair of boots was 110 * 10/100 = $<<110*10/100=11>>11. So the pair of boots cost 110 - 11 = $<<110-11=99>>99. Celina therefore spent 80 + 16 + 99 = $<<80+16+99=195>>195 on the equipment. #### 195 Stella’s antique shop has 3 dolls, 2 clocks and 5 glasses for sale. She sells the dolls for $5 each. The clocks are priced at $15 each. The glasses are priced at $4 each. If she spent $40 to buy everything and she sells all of her merchandise, how much profit will she make? The dolls will sell for 3 * $5 = $<<3*5=15>>15. The clocks will bring in 2 * $15 = $<<2*15=30>>30. The glasses will sell for 5 * $4 = $<<5*4=20>>20. In total, she will bring in $15 + $30 + $20 = $<<15+30+20=65>>65 Her total profit will be $65 - $40 = $<<65-40=25>>25. #### 25 Louie obtained 80% on a math quiz. He had 5 mistakes. How many items were there on the math quiz? Louie got 100% - 80% = 20% of the total items incorrect, which is equal to 5 items. So 1% is equal to 5/20 = 1/4 of an item. Hence, the total number of items, represented by 100%, on the math quiz was 1/4 of an item x 100 = <<1/4*100=25>>25. #### 25 The centerpieces at Glenda’s wedding reception include a fishbowl containing 2 fish, except for one table that has 3 fish. There are 32 tables. How many fish are there? There are 32 tables with 2 fish in a bowl on each, so 32 tables x 2 fish = <<32*2=64>>64 fish. One table has an additional fish, so 64 fish + 1xtra fish = 65 fish. #### 65 Mr. Roberts can buy a television for $400 cash or $120 down payment and $30 a month for 12 months. How much can he save by paying cash? Mr. Roberts will make a total payment of $30 x 12 = $<<30*12=360>>360 for 12 months. Thus, the television costs $360 + $120 = $<<360+120=480>>480 when not paid in cash. Therefore, Mr. Roberts can save $480 - $400 = $<<480-400=80>>80 by paying cash. #### 80
