Each turtle lays a clutch of 20 eggs. If 40% of the eggs successfully hatch, how many hatchlings do 6 turtles produce?
First find the number of eggs that each turtle successfully hatches: 20 eggs * 40% =
<<20*40*.01=8>>8 eggs Then multiply the number of eggs per turtle by the number of turtles to find the total number of eggs: 8 eggs/turtle * 6 turtles = <<8*6=48>>48 turtles #### 48 Isabelle gets a job so she can save enough money to go to a concert with her two brothers. Her ticket costs $20. Her brothers both get the children’s discount, and each of their tickets cost $10. Her brothers have saved $5 between the two of them and Isabelle has saved $5. If her job pays $3 per week, how many weeks must she work to afford the tickets? The tickets for both of her brothers will cost her $10 * 2 = $<<10*2=20>>20. To buy tickets for all of them, it will cost Isabelle $20 + $20 = $<<20+20=40>>40. Between all of them, they have saved a total of $5 + $5 = $<<5+5=10>>10. Since they have already saved $10, she needs to earn an additional $40 - $10 = $<<30=30>>30 to afford the tickets. Since she makes $3 per week, it will take her $30 / ($3/week) = <<30/(3)=10>>10 weeks to save enough money for all of the tickets. #### 10 Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers. Each box contained 24 crackers. If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, how many crackers did they buy altogether? If Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers, each containing 24 crackers, the total number of crackers that Darren bought is 24*4=<<24*4=96>>96 Twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren bought is 2*4=<<2*4=8>>8 If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, then Calvin bought 8-1=<<8-1=7>>7 boxes of crackers. The total number of crackers that Calvin bought is 7*24=<<7*24=168>>168 Together, Darren and Clavin bought 168+96=<<168+96=264>>264 crackers. #### 264 Lyssa and Precious took an English proficiency exam. Lyssa answered 20% of the items incorrectly. Precious got 12 mistakes. How many more correct answers did Lyssa get than precious if there were 75 items in the exam? Lyssa got 75 x 20/100 = <<75*20/100=15>>15 mistakes. Lyssa's score is 75 - 15 = <<75-15=60>>60. The score of Precious is 75 - 12 = <<75-12=63>>63. Thus, Lyssa got 63 - 60 = <<63-60=3>>3 more correct answers than Precious. #### 3 Adlai has 2 dogs and 1 chicken. How many animal legs are there in all? Since dogs have 4 legs, then 2 dogs have a total of 2 x 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 legs. So, there are 8 dog legs + 2 chicken legs = <<8+2=10>>10 legs in all. #### 10 One US cup equals 250ml. Brian is making lasagna for himself, his wife, his two kids, his parents, and his wife's parents. The recipe requires 1/2 a cup of milk per serving. How many 1L cartons of milk does Brian need to buy if each person is expected to eat 2 servings? There will be a total of (1) Brian + (1) Brian's wife + (2) two kids + (2) Brian's parents + (2) Brian's in-laws = 1+1+2+2+2= <<1+1+2+2+2=8>>8 people eating If 1 person eats 2 serving of lasagna then 8 people will eat 8 * 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 servings If each serving requires 1/2 cup of milk then 16 servings require 16 * 1/2 cups = <<16*1/2=8>>8 cups of milk If one cup of milk equals 250 ml, then 8 cups of milk equal 8 * 250 = <<8*250=2000>>2000 ml of milk 1L carton of milk equals 1000ml of milk, therefore Brian needs 2000/1000 = <<2000/1000=2>>2 cartons of 1L milk #### 2 The teacher brings in 14 mini-cupcakes and 12 donut holes for the class. There are 13 students in the class. If each student gets the exact same amount, how many desserts does each student get? There are 26 total desserts because 14 plus 12 equals <<14+12=26>>26. Each student gets 2 desserts because 26 divided by 13 equals <<26/13=2>>2. #### 2 Camden just bought 3/4 times as many dogs as Rico, who has 10 more dogs than Justin. If Justin has 14 dogs, what's the total number of legs that Camden's dogs have? If Justin has 14 dogs, Rico, who has 10 more dogs than Justin, has 14+10=<<14+10=24>>24 dogs. Since Camden just bought 3/4 times as many dogs as Rico, he bought 3/4*24=<<3/4*24=18>>18 dogs. A dog has four legs, so Camden's 18 dogs have 18*4=<<18*4=72>>72 legs. #### 72 John needs to replace his shoes so he decides to buy a $150 pair of Nikes and a $120 pair of work boots. Tax is 10%. How much did he pay for everything? The shoes cost $150 + $120 = $<<150+120=270>>270 The tax was $270 * .1 = $<<270*.1=27>>27 So the total cost was $270 + $27 = $<<270+27=297>>297 #### 297 Victor works at Clucks Delux, a restaurant specializing in chicken. An order of Chicken Pasta uses 2 pieces of chicken, an order of Barbecue Chicken uses 3 pieces of chicken, and a family-size Fried Chicken Dinner uses 8 pieces of chicken. Tonight, Victor has 2 Fried Chicken Dinner orders, 6 Chicken Pasta orders, and 3 Barbecue Chicken orders. How many pieces of chicken does he need for all the orders? Victor needs 2 * 8 = <<2*8=16>>16 pieces of chicken for Fried Chicken Dinners. He needs 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 pieces of chicken for Chicken Pasta. He needs 3 * 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 pieces of chicken for Barbecue Chicken orders. Thus, he needs 16 + 12 + 9 = <<16+12+9=37>>37 pieces of chicken. #### 37
