Shaniqua styles hair. For every haircut she makes $12 and for every style she makes $25. How many dollars would Shaniqua make if she gave 8 haircuts and 5 styles?

Haircuts = 8 * 12 =

<<8*12=96>>96 Styles = 5 * 25 = <<5*25=125>>125 Total earned = 96 + 125 = $<<96+125=221>>221 #### 221 Pauline is buying school supplies. The total amount of all the items she wants to buy add up to $150 before sales tax. Sales tax is 8% of the total amount purchased. How much will Pauline spend on all the items, including sales tax? Sales tax is 8/100 x $150= $<<8/100*150=12>>12. Therefore, Pauline wil spend $150 + $12 = $<<150+12=162>>162, including sales tax. #### 162 Tom decides to open a theater. He knows it will cost $5 per square foot of space that he needs and he needs 12 square feet for every seat in his theater. He wants a 500 seat theater. He also realizes construction will cost twice as much as the land. He has a partner who covers 40% of the cost. How much does Tom spend? He needs 500 * 12 = <<500*12=6000>>6000 square feet This means it cost $5 * 6000 = $30,000 That means construction comes to $30000 * 2 = $<<30000*2=60000>>60,000 So the total cost is $60000 + $30000 = $<<60000+30000=90000>>90,000 His partner covers $90,000 * .4 = $<<90000*.4=36000>>36,000 So he has to pay $90,000 - $36,000 = $<<90000-36000=54000>>54,000 #### 54,000 Tony has a piece of quilt that is 6 feet by 24 feet. If he wants to turn it into a square and use all the fabric, how long is each side of the square? The quilt is 144 square feet because 6 x 24 = <<6*24=144>>144 A square quilt would be 12 feet per side because √(144) = 12 #### 12 After working out for 3 hours, three friends go out for lunch. Adam spends two-thirds as much money on lunch as Rick. Rick and Jose eat lunch of the same price. If Jose ate lunch worth $45, what is the cost of lunch for all three? Since Rick and Jose's lunch cost was the same, Adam spent 2/3*45 = $<<2/3*45=30>>30 on his lunch. The three friends ate food worth 30+45+45 = $<<30+45+45=120>>120 #### 120 Sally earned $1000 at work last month. This month, she received a 10% raise. How much money will she make in total for the two months? This month she will earn $1000 * (110/100) = $<<1000*(110/100)=1100>>1100. In total, she will make $1000 + $1100 = $<<1000+1100=2100>>2100. #### 2100 Gargamel needed new tires for his truck. He went to the auto shop and bought 4 tires on sale for $75 each. The salesman told him that he saved a total of $36. If Gargamel saved the same amount on each tire, what was the original price of each tire? Gargamel saved $36 for all four tires, so to find the savings per tire was $36 / 4 = $<<36/4=9>>9 saved per tire. Adding the savings to the discount price, the original price was $75 + $9 = $<<75+9=84>>84 #### 84 Allyn is a golfer. At the starting tee, he hit the golf ball and it traveled 180 yards straight toward the hole. On his second turn, he hit the ball again straight toward the hole and it traveled half as far as it did on his first turn, but the ball landed 20 yards beyond the hole. On his third swing, he hit the ball onto the green and it rolled into the hole. What is the distance, in yards, from the starting tee to the hole? On his second turn, the ball traveled 180/2=<<180/2=90>>90 yards. After two turns, the ball had traveled 180+90=<<180+90=270>>270 yards. Since, after the second turn, the ball was 20 yards past the hole, this means the distance from the starting tee to the hole was 270-20=<<270-20=250>>250 yards. #### 250 Daniel owns a textile company. Every Monday he delivers 20 yards of fabric, and every Tuesday he delivers twice the amount of fabric he delivers on Monday. Every Wednesday, he delivers 1/4 of the amount of fabric he delivers on Tuesday. If each yard of fabric costs $2 and each yard of yarn costs $3, how much does he earn from Monday to Wednesday? Every Tuesday, Daniel delivers 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 yards of fabric. Every Wednesday, he delivers 40 x 1/4 = <<40*1/4=10>>10 yards of fabric. Thus, he delivers a total of 20 + 40 + 10 = <<20+40+10=70>>70 yards of fabric from Monday to Wednesday. Therefore, Daniel earns $2 x 70 = $<<2*70=140>>140 from it. #### 140 3 people run for president. John manages to capture 150 votes. James captures 70% of the remaining vote. If there were 1150 people voting, how many more votes did the third guy get than John? There were 1150-150=<<1150-150=1000>>1000 people who didn't vote for John That means James got 1000*.7=<<1000*.7=700>>700 votes So the other candidate got 1000-700=<<1000-700=300>>300 votes This means he got 300-150=<<300-150=150>>150 more votes than John. #### 150
