Ben's hockey team is 60% boys and the rest are girls. Half the girls are juniors and the other half are seniors. If the team has 50 players, how many junior girls are there?

The team is 40% girls because 100 - 60 =

<<100-60=40>>40 The team has 20 girls because 50 x .4 = <<50*.4=20>>20 The team has 10 junior girls because 20 / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 #### 10 Janice opened an art book that she had found in the library and found 5 drawings on the first page. After opening the first ten pages, she realized that the number of drawings on each page increased by five after every page. How many drawings were in the first five pages? If the first page had 5 drawings, and the number of drawings on each page increased by five, the second page had 5+5 = <<5+5=10>>10 The total number of drawings in the first 2 pages is 5+10 = <<5+10=15>>15 On the third page, the number of drawings increased to 10+5 = <<10+5=15>>15 The first three pages have a total of 15+15 = <<15+15=30>>30 drawings. The fourth page had 15+5 = <<15+5=20>>20 drawings. There are 30+20 = <<30+20=50>>50 drawings on the first four pages. The fifth page also had an extra 5 more drawings than the fourth page, totaling 20+5 = <<20+5=25>>25 For the first five pages, Janice saw 25+50 = <<25+50=75>>75 pages. #### 75 In a certain company, for every customer served, an employee gets as many bonus points, as 20% of the number of customers served. On Monday, Tom served 10 customers per hour for 8 hours. How many bonus points did Tom earn that day? Tom served on Monday to 8 * 10 = <<8*10=80>>80 clients. So Tom earned 20/100 * 80 = <<20/100*80=16>>16 bonus points. #### 16 Tom’s cat is 8 years old. His rabbit is half the age of his cat. His dog is three times as old as his rabbit. How old is the dog? Tom’s rabbit is 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4 years old. His dog is 4 x 3 = <<4*3=12>>12 years old. #### 12 Carla spends 10 minutes sharpening her knife and 3 times that amount of time peeling vegetables. How much time does she spend on these activities total? First find the total time Carla spends peeling vegetables: 10 minutes * 3 = <<10*3=30>>30 minutes Then add the time she spent sharpening her knife: 30 minutes + 10 minutes = <<30+10=40>>40 minutes #### 40 Billy weighs 9 pounds more than Brad. Brad weighs 5 pounds more than Carl. If Carl weighs 145 pounds, how much does Billy weigh, in pounds? Brad weighs 145+5=<<145+5=150>>150 pounds. Billy weighs 150+9=<<150+9=159>>159 pounds. #### 159 Lucille has to divide the revenue from her business in the ratio of 4:11 for employee salaries and stock purchases, respectively. If she has $3000 as her revenue, calculate the total amount of money she spends on employee salary? The total ratio representing the revenue Lucille has is 4+11 = <<4+11=15>>15 The value from the ratio representing employee salary is 4/15, and this is 4/15*$3000 = $<<4/15*3000=800>>800 that Lucille has to pay her employees. #### 800 Mark is looking to buy a total of 12 pieces of fruit at the store. He has already chosen 3 apples. He has also selected a bunch of bananas containing 4 bananas. How many oranges does he need to pick out to have 12 total pieces of fruit? He has 3 apples and 4 bananas, so he has 3 + 4 = <<3+4=7>>7 pieces of fruit. He needs to buy 12 fruit - 7 fruit = <<12-7=5>>5 oranges. #### 5 A mum ordered 80 cupcakes for her daughter's birthday. Half of them are gluten-free. There are 24 vegan cupcakes and half of them are also gluten-free. How many are non-vegan cupcakes that also contain gluten? The gluten-free cupcakes are 80 / 2 = <<80/2=40>>40. The vegan cupcakes with gluten are 24 / 2 = <<24/2=12>>12. The non-vegan cupcakes with gluten are 40 - 12 = <<40-12=28>>28. #### 28 Sandy earns $15 per hour. She worked 10 hours on Friday with her best friend, 6 hours on Saturday alone and 14 hours on Sunday with her other co-workers. How much money did Sandy earn in all on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? The total number of hours Sandy worked on Friday, Saturday and Sunday was 10 + 6 + 14 = <<10+6+14=30>>30 hours. Beth made 30 × $15 = $<<30*15=450>>450 in those 3 days. #### 450
