Max works for a delivery company as a courier. During one working day, he can deliver a maximum of 35 packages. One week, Max delivered the maximum number of packages, only twice. On two other days, Max unloaded a total of 50 packages, and on one day he unloaded only one-seventh of the maximum possible daily performance. On the last two days, the sum of the packages transported was only fourth-fifth of the maximum daily performance. How many more packages could Max deliver during that week, if he would work at maximum performance?

Max can deliver a maximum of 35 * 7 =

<<35*7=245>>245 packages in one week. For two days Max has carried the maximum number of packages, which in total means 2 * 35 = <<2*35=70>>70 packages. One day Max has carried only 1/7 of the maximum capacity, that is 1/7 * 35 = <<1/7*35=5>>5 packages. On two other days, Max delivered only 4/5 * 35 = <<4/5*35=28>>28 packages. That means, Max could deliver 245 - 28 - 5 - 70 - 50 = <<245-28-5-70-50=92>>92 more packages. #### 92 Tire repair for each tire costs $7, plus another 50 cents for sales tax. If Juan needs all 4 tires repaired, how much is the final cost? Juan pays 4*7 = <<4*7=28>>28 dollars for all four tire repairs. Juan pays 0.50*4 = <<0.50*4=2>>2 dollars in sales tax for all four tire repairs. Juan pays a total of 28+2 = <<28+2=30>>30 dollars. #### 30 In a factory that employed 852 people, 25% more workers have just been hired. How many employees are there now in the factory? A quarter of the workers equals 852 * 25 / 100 = <<852*25/100=213>>213 workers. There are now 852 + 213 = <<852+213=1065>>1065 employees in the factory. #### 1065 Marcus is having a water balloon party. He has 100 balloons. Each balloon holds 3 ounces of water. He can buy 50 ounces of water for $2.5 a bottle. If he walks into the store with 2 $10 bills, how much change will he have after he buys all the water he needs? He will need 300 ounces of water because 100 x 3 = <<100*3=300>>300 He will need 6 bottles because 300 / 50 = <<300/50=6>>6 This will cost $15 because 6 x 2.5 = <<6*2.5=15>>15 He has $20 because 2 x 10 = <<2*10=20>>20 He will get $5 in change because 20 - 15 = <<20-15=5>>5 #### 5 Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison does. With 60 lollipops, Alisson has half the number of lollipops Diane has. If they combine the lollipops and eat 45 lollipops each day, calculate the total number of days it will take for them to finish the lollipops. Since Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison, he has 60+30= 90 lollipops. Together, Alison and Henry have 90+60 = <<90+60=150>>150 lollipops. Alison has half the number of lollipops that Diane has, meaning Diane has 2*60 = 120 lollipops. Altogether, the three have 120+150 = <<120+150=270>>270 lollipops. Since they eat 45 lollipops each day, they'll take 270/45=<<270/45=6>>6 days to finish all the lollipops. #### 6 Reggie's father gave him $48. Reggie bought 5 books, each of which cost $2. How much money does Reggie have left? The cost of the books is 5 × $2 = $<<5*2=10>>10. Reggie has $48 − $10 = $38 left. #### 38 Emily loves to have pets and for that reason, she has 4 dogs in her home. Each one eats 250 grams of food per day. She has to go on vacation for 14 days. How many kilograms of food should she buy for her 4 dogs so they don't starve while she is out? Each dog would eat 250 grams so 4 will would eat 4 x 250 grams = <<4*250=1000>>1000 grams of food per day. 1.000 grams is equal a 1 kilogram. Emily is going on vacation for 14 days and with the 4 dogs together eating 1 kilogram of food per day, 14 days x 1 kg of food/day = <<14*1=14>>14 kg of food would be enough for two weeks. #### 14 James has 7 more than 4 times the number of Oreos Jordan has. If there are 52 Oreos total, how many does James have? Let x be the number of Oreos Jordan has James has 7+4x Oreos Total: 7+4x+x=52 5x+7=52 5x=45 x=<<9=9>>9 James has 7+4(9)=43 Oreos #### 43 Jay has decided to save money from his paycheck every week. He has decided that he will increase the amount he saves each week by 10 dollars. If he started by saving 20 dollars this week, how much will he have saved in a month from now? In one week he will have saved 20+10=<<20+10=30>>30 dollars In two weeks he will have saved 30+10=<<30+10=40>>40 dollars In three weeks he will have saved 40+10=<<40+10=50>>50 dollars At the end of week four, he will have saved 50+10=<<50+10=60>>60 dollars #### 60 There are three goldfish and ten platyfish in a fish tank. Each goldfish plays with ten red balls, while each platyfish plays with five white balls. What is the total number of balls in the fish tank? If there are 3 goldfish, and each is playing with ten red balls, then the number of red balls in the tank is 3*10=<<3*10=30>>30 There are also ten platyfish playing with 5 white balls, there are 10*5= <<10*5=50>>50 white balls. The total number of red and white balls in the fish tank is 50+30 = <<50+30=80>>80 #### 80
