Team Soccer Stars plays in a soccer league. They played a total of 20 games, and won 14 games, lost 2, and drew the rest of the matches. They earn 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and nothing for a loss. How many points did they have at the end of the season?

Soccer Stars won and lost a total of 14+2 =

<<14+2=16>>16 games. This means they drew 20 - 16 = <<20-16=4>>4 games. The total points from the wins are 14*3 = <<14*3=42>>42 points. The total points from draws are 4*1 = <<4*1=4>>4 points. The total points from the losses are 2 * 0 = <<2*0=0>>0 points. They had 42+4+0 = <<42+4+0=46>>46 points when the season ended. #### 46 James takes a spinning class 3 times a week. He works out for 1.5 hours each class and burns 7 calories per minute. How many calories does he burn per week? He works out for 1.5*60=<<1.5*60=90>>90 minutes per class So he burns 90*7=<<90*7=630>>630 calories per class That means he burns 630*3=<<630*3=1890>>1890 calories per week #### 1890 Jame is trying to learn to tear playing cards. He can tear 30 cards at a time. A new deck of cards has 55 cards if you include the jokers and blank cards. He tears cards 3 times a week. If he buys 18 decks how many weeks can he go? He tears 30*3=<<30*3=90>>90 cards a week He bought 55*18=<<55*18=990>>990 cards So he can tear for 990/90=<<990/90=11>>11 weeks #### 11 Todd bought a pair of jeans that cost $125 at full price. The jeans were on sale for 20% off. He then applied a coupon that took off $10. He paid with a store credit card that gave him another 10% off the remaining amount. How many dollars did he save on the original price of the jeans? The jeans were on sale for 20% = 20 / 100 = 1 /5 off, so the sale took 125 / 5 = $<<125/5=25>>25 off. Thus, after the sale, the jeans cost $125 - $25 = $<<125-25=100>>100. Todd’s coupon lowered the price to $100 - $10 = $<<100-10=90>>90. The store credit card gave him 10% = 10 / 100 = 1 / 10 off, so the card took $90 / 10 = $<<90/10=9>>9 off. Thus, he paid $90 - $9 = $<<90-9=81>>81 for the jeans. Therefore, Todd saved $125 - $81 = $<<125-81=44>>44 on the original price of the jeans. #### 44 Aria has twice as many high school credits as Emily, who has twice the number of high school credits as Spencer. If Emily has 20 credits, what's twice the total number of high school credits the three have? If Emily has 20 credits, and Aria has 2 times as many, then Aria has 2*20=<<20*2=40>>40 high school credits. Emily has twice the number of high school credits Spencer has, meaning Spencer has 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 high school credits. Altogether, the three have 40 + 20 + 10=<<40+20+10=70>>70 high school credits. Twice the total number of high school credits the three have is 2*70=<<2*70=140>>140 #### 140 Jenny wants to read 3 books in the next 10 days. She can read 100 words per hour. If the first book has 200 words, the second book has 400 words, and the third book has 300 words, how many minutes per day, on average, should she spend reading? She wants to read 200+400+300=<<200+400+300=900>>900 pages total. She needs to spend 900/100 = <<900/100=9>>9 hours reading in the next three weeks. In minutes, she will need to spend 9*60 = <<9*60=540>>540 minutes. Thus, she should spend 540 minutes/10 days = <<540/10=54>>54 minutes per day reading. #### 54 A clothing store has an inventory of 34 ties, 40 belts, 63 black shirts, and 42 white shirts. The number of jeans in the store is two-thirds of the sum of black and white shirts, and the number of scarves is half the number of the sum of ties and belts. How many more jeans are there than scarves? The sum of black and white shirts is 63 + 42 = <<63+42=105>>105 The number of jeans in the store is (2/3) x 105 = <<(2/3)*105=70>>70 The sum of ties and belts is 34 + 40 = <<34+40=74>>74 The number of scarfs in the store is 74/2 = <<74/2=37>>37 There are 70 - 37 = <<70-37=33>>33 more jeans than scarfs in the store. #### 33 Mary and Ann are going sledding. Mary slides down a hill that's 630 feet long at a speed of 90 feet/minute. Ann slides down a hill that's 800 feet long at a rate of 40 feet/minute. How much longer does Ann's trip take than Mary? First find the total time Mary's trip takes: 630 feet / 90 feet/minute = <<630/90=7>>7 minutes Then find the total time Ann's trip takes: 800 feet / 40 feet/minute = <<800/40=20>>20 minutes Then subtract Mary's time from Ann's time to find the difference: 20 minutes - 7 minutes = <<20-7=13>>13 minutes #### 13 There are 28 students in a classroom. Half of them have 5 notebooks each and the other half have 3 notebooks each. How many notebooks in total are in the classroom? Half of the class consists of 28 students / 2 = <<28/2=14>>14 students. One half of the students have 14 students * 3 notebooks/student = <<14*3=42>>42 notebooks. The other half have 14 students * 5 notebooks/student = <<14*5=70>>70 notebooks. There are 42 notebooks + 70 notebooks = <<42+70=112>>112 notebooks in total in the classroom. #### 112 Erica is telling her grandson about the animals she saw during her recent safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara. On Saturday, she saw 3 lions and 2 elephants. She spotted 2 buffaloes and 5 leopards on Sunday, and 5 rhinos and 3 warthogs on Monday. What is the total number of animals that Erica saw? On Saturday, Erica saw 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 animals On Sunday she spotted 2 + 5 = <<2+5=7>>7 animals On Monday, she saw 5 + 3 = <<5+3=8>>8 animals Adding up all the animals Erica saw gives a total of 5 + 7 + 8 = <<5+7+8=20>>20 animals #### 20
