She placed the cakes in boxes, and then walked them out to her car. But she had forgotten her keys. So, she placed the boxes of cakes in one stack on the hood of her car, and then she ran back into the house to get her keys. But before she returned, a black crow came, landed on the stack of cakes, and knocked over half of the stack. When Chastity returned, she picked up half of the fallen cakes, which were not damaged, but the rest of the cakes were destroyed. How many cakes were destroyed? There were 12/2=<<12/2=6>>6 fallen cakes. Half of 6 fallen cakes were destroyed, for a total of 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 cakes. #### 3 4.5 gallons of coffee were divided among 18 thermoses. Genevieve drank 3 thermoses. How many pints of coffee did Genevieve drink? 4.5 gallons = 4.5 * 8 pints = <<4.5*8=36>>36 pints 36/18 = <<36/18=2>>2 pints Genevieve drank 2*3=<<2*3=6>>6 pints of coffee. #### 6 Phil has a coin collection he likes to add to. He started with 50 state quarters his parents gave him. Over the next year he doubled this. The following year he collected 3 each month. The year after that he collected 1 every third month. The year after that he lost a quarter of them when he misplaced his collection. How many did he have left after losing some? Phil started with 50, and doubled this amount the next year for 50*2=<<50*2=100>>100 coins Phil then collected 3 per month the following year, and since there are 12 months in a year that was 3*12=<<3*12=36>>36 coins added Phil then collected 1 every third month, and since there are 12 months that means he collected one every 12/3=4 months, for 4 coins added Before he lost a quarter of his coins, Phil had 100+36+4 coins, or <<100+36+4=140>>140 coins in total. Losing a quarter of 140 coins means Phill lost 140/4=<<140/4=35>>35 coins That means Phil had 140-35= <<140-35=105>>105 coins remaining #### 105 A monitor is 21 inches by 12 inches. There are 100 dots per inch. How many total pixels are there? The display is 21*100=<<21*100=2100>>2100 pixels across The display is 12*100=<<12*100=1200>>1200 pixels tall That means there is a total of 2100*1200=<<2100*1200=2520000>>2,520,000 pixels #### 2,520,000 A family's water and electricity bills average $30 a month for the first 4 months and $24 a month for the last 2 months. If the family's bills were averaged over all 6 months, what would the average monthly bill be? The sum of the bills of the family in the first 4 months is $30/month x 4 months = $<<30*4=120>>120. The sum of the bills of the family in the last 2 months is $24/month x $2 = $<<24*2=48>>48. The sum of the bills of the family over the 6 months is $120 + $48 = $<<120+48=168>>168. Hence, their average monthly bill is $168/6 months = $<<168/6=28>>28/month. #### 28 Aida has twice as many dolls as Sophie, and Sophie has twice as many dolls as Vera. How many dolls do Aida, Sophie, and Vera have combined if Vera has 20 dolls? If Sophie has twice as many dolls as Vera, then she has 2 * 20 dolls = <<2*20=40>>40 dolls Aida has 2 * 40 dolls = <<2*40=80>>80 dolls, twice the number Sophie has. In total, they have 80 dolls + 40 dolls + 20 dolls = <<80+40+20=140>>140 dolls #### 140 On Tuesday, Liza had $800 in her checking account. On Wednesday, she paid her rent, $450. On Thursday, she deposited her $1500 paycheck. On Friday, she paid her electricity and internet bills which were $117 and $100, respectively. Then on Saturday, she paid her phone bill, $70. How much money is left in Liza's account? On Wednesday, Liza had $800 - $450 = $<<800-450=350>>350 left in her account. After depositing on Thursday, she had $350 + $1500 = $<<350+1500=1850>>1850 in her account. On Friday, she paid a total of $117 + $100 = $<<117+100=217>>217 for her electricity and internet bills. So, $1850 - $217 = $<<1850-217=1633>>1633 was left on her account on Friday. After paying her phone bill, Liza has $1633 - $70 = $<<1633-70=1563>>1563 left in her account. #### 1563 The toothpaste in Anne's family's bathroom contains 105 grams. Anne's dad uses 3 grams at each brushing, her mom uses 2 grams, Anne and her brother use 1 gram each. Each member of the family brushes their teeth three times a day. How many days will it take for the toothpaste to run out? Anne and her brother use 1 gram + 1 gram = <<1+1=2>>2 grams. Anne's dad uses 3 grams and Anne's mom uses 2 grams so together they use 2 grams + 3 grams + 2 grams = <<3+2+2=7>>7 grams/wash Each day, the family uses 7 grams/wash * 3 washes/day = <<7*3=21>>21 grams. Using that amount daily, the toothpaste will last 105 grams / 21 grams/day = <<105/21=5>>5 days. #### 5 The Kwik-e-Tax Center charges $50 for a federal return, $30 for a state return, and $80 for quarterly business taxes. If they sell 60 federal returns, 20 state returns, and 10 quarterly returns in one day, what was their total revenue for the day? First find the total income from the federal returns: $50/return * 60 returns = $<<50*60=3000>>3000 Then find the total income from the state returns: $30/return * 20 returns = $<<30*20=600>>600 Then find the total income from the quarterly returns: $80/return * 10 returns = $<<80*10=800>>800 Then add the income from each source to find their total income: $3000 + $600 + $800 = $<<3000+600+800=4400>>4400 #### 4400
