A local restaurant is offering an 8 piece fried chicken bucket and 2 sides for $12.00 that will feed 6 people. If Monty was having a family reunion for 36 family members, how much will it cost him to buy enough chicken and sides to feed everyone one serving?

Monty needs to feed 36 family members and each chicken/meal combo feeds 6 people so he needs 36/6 =

<<36/6=6>>6 combos Each chicken/meal combo costs $12.00 and he needs 6 so it will cost him 12*6 = $<<12*6=72.00>>72.00 to feed everyone #### 72 Mr Fletcher hired 2 men to dig a well in his compound. They worked for 10 hours on the first day, 8 hours on the second day and finished the job on the third day after working 15 hours. If Mr Fletcher paid each of them $10 per hour of work, calculate the total amount of money they received altogether? The total number of hours each worker works in the first 2 days is 10+8 = <<10+8=18>>18 hours. Since they completed the job in three days, each was compensated for 18+15 = <<18+15=33>>33 hours of work. Mr Fletcher paid each of the workers $10 per hour of work, meaning for 33 hours, each of the workers received 33*$10 = $<<10*33=330>>330 Since they were two workers, the total amount they received all together after each was paid $330 is $330*2 = $<<330*2=660>>660 #### 660 Mrs. Anderson bought 2 bags of 3-pound bag of cat food and another 2 bags of dog food that each weigh 2 more pounds than each bag of cat food. There are 16 ounces in each pound. How many ounces of pet food did Mrs. Anderson buy? The two bags of cat food weigh 2 x 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 pounds. Each bag of dog food weighs 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 pounds. So two bags of dog food weigh 2 x 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 pounds. Thus, Mrs. Anderson bought 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16 pounds of pet food. And 16 pounds is equal to 16 x 16 = <<16*16=256>>256 ounces. #### 256 A small zoo houses a variety of 68 wild animals. After they send a gorilla family of six to a different zoo, they adopt a hippopotamus from another zoo. A while later, an animal rescue contacted them, and the zoo took in three endangered rhinos. Then one of their lionesses gave birth to cubs, and they opened a meerkat exhibit with twice as many meerkats as they had gained lion cubs. The zoo then had 90 animals in all. How many lion cubs were born at the zoo? Let C be the number of lion cubs. There are 2C meerkats in the new exhibit. The zoo sent 4 gorillas away, so they had 68 - 6 = <<68-6=62>>62 animals left. They adopted a hippopotamus, so they had 62 + 1 = <<62+1=63>>63 animals. They took in 3 rhinos, so they had 63 + 3 = <<63+3=66>>66 animals. Thus, they had 90 - 66 = <<90-66=24>>24 new lion cubs and meerkats. Therefore, they had C + 2C = 3C = 24 new lion cubs as meerkats. Hence, there were C = 24 / 3 = <<24/3=8>>8 lion cubs born. #### 8 Grace is looking to plant some lettuce in her raised bed garden. Her raised bed is comprised of 2 large beds on top with 2 medium beds on the bottom. The top bed can hold 4 rows of lettuce with 25 seeds being sown per row. The medium bed can house 3 rows with 20 seeds being sown per row. How many seeds can Grace plant in all four beds of her raised bed garden? A large bed can hold 4 rows with 25 seeds per row, 4 * 25=<<4*25=100>>100 seeds per large bed 100 seeds per large bed and there are 2 beds, 100 * 2= <<100*2=200>>200 seeds needed in total for both large beds. A medium bed can hold 3 rows with 20 seeds sown per row, 3 * 20=<<3*20=60>>60 seeds per medium bed. 60 seeds per medium bed and there are 2 medium beds, 60 * 2=<<60*2=120>>120 seeds needed in total for both medium beds. 200 seeds needed for the large beds combined with 120 seeds needed for the medium beds comes to 200 +120= <<200+120=320>>320 seeds needed to plant all four beds of the raised garden bed. #### 320 To make 3 liters of ketchup Ashley needs 69 kg of tomatoes. How many kilos of tomatoes does Ashley need to make 5 liters of ketchup? One liter of ketchup is made from 69 kg / 3 liters = <<69/3=23>>23 kg/liter of tomatoes. Ashley needs 23 kg/liter * 5 liters = <<23*5=115>>115 kg of tomatoes. #### 115 John decides to install a ramp in his house. He needs to get permits which cost $250. After that, he hires a contractor which costs $150 an hour and the guy works for 3 days at 5 hours per day. He also pays an inspector 80% less to make sure it is OK. How much was the total cost? The contractor works for 3*5=<<3*5=15>>15 hours That means he charged 150*15=$<<150*15=2250>>2250 The inspector charged 2250*.8=$1800 less So the inspector charged 2250-1800=$<<2250-1800=450>>450 So the total amount charged was 250+450+2250=$<<250+450+2250=2950>>2950 #### 2950 A bag of dozen apples costs $14 and Brian has already spent $10 on kiwis and half that much on bananas. What's the maximum number of apples Brian can buy if he left his house with only $50 and needs to pay the $3.50 subway fare each way? Brian requires a total of $3.50 + $3.50 = $<<3.5+3.5=7>>7 to pay for the round trip subway fare We also know he has spent half (1/2) the amount he spent on kiwis on bananas, so he'll spend (1/2) * $10 = $5 on bananas So far in total he has spent $7 for his subway fare + $5 on bananas + $10 on kiwis = $7 + $5 + $10 = $<<7+5+10=22>>22 If he left his house with only $50, then all he will have left for apples would be $50 - $22 = $<<50-22=28>>28 If a bag of apples costs $14, then Brian would only be able to buy a maximum of $28/$14 = 2 bags of apples If each bag of apples has a dozen (12) apples, then (2) two bags will have 12*2= <<2*12=24>>24 apples #### 24 Preston has a sandwich shop. He charges $5 for each sandwich. He also charges $20 for a delivery fee. Abra Company orders 18 sandwiches from Preston and also tips him 10%. How much total, in dollars, did Preston receive? First, find the price of the sandwiches $5 per sandwich * 18 sandwiches = $<<5*18=90>>90. Now add in the delivery fee $90 + $20 = $<<90+20=110>>110. Now the tip $110 * 0.10 = $<<110*0.10=11>>11. Add the tip to the price of the sandwiches $110 + $11 = $<<110+11=121>>121 in total. #### 121 Yolanda scored 345 points over the entire season. There were 15 games over the season. She averaged 4 free throws (worth one point), and 5 two-point baskets per game. How many three-point baskets did she average a game? She averaged 23 points per game because 345 / 15 = <<345/15=23>>23 She averaged 10 points a game off two-point baskets because 5 x 2 = 10 She averaged 4 points a game from free throws because 4 x 1 = <<4*1=4>>4 She averaged 14 points a game off non-three point baskets because 10 + 4 = <<10+4=14>>14 She averaged 9 points from three-pointers because 23-14 = <<23-14=9>>9 She averaged 3 three-pointers a game because 9 / 3 = <<9/3=3>>3 #### 3
