Yvette wants to frame a new picture. When she goes to her local frame shop, she finds out that the frame she wanted is 20% more expensive than her budget of $60. If she paid for a smaller frame at 3/4 the new price of the frame she initially intended to buy, how much money did she remain with?

The frame she initially intended to buy was 20/100*$60=$

<<20/100*60=12>>12 more expensive than she had thought. This means the frame was being sold at $60+$12 = $<<60+12=72>>72 If she paid for a smaller frame at 3/4 the price of the frame she initially intended to buy, she paid 3/4*$72 = $<<3/4*72=54>>54 Yvette remained with $60-$54 = $<<60-54=6>>6 #### 6 Marie has 4 notebooks with 20 stamps each. She also has two binders with 50 stamps each. If she decides to only keep 1/4 of the stamps, how many stamps can she give away? Marie has 4 x 20 = <<4*20=80>>80 stamps from her notebooks. And she has 2 x 50 = <<2*50=100>>100 stamps from her binders. So she has a total of 80 + 100 = <<80+100=180>>180 stamps. Marie decided to keep 180 x 1/4 = <<180*1/4=45>>45 stamps only. Therefore, she can give away 180 - 45 = <<180-45=135>>135 stamps. #### 135 Jan is making candy necklaces for herself and a few friends. Everyone receives a candy necklace each and each candy necklace is made up of 10 pieces of candies. The pieces of candies come from blocks of candy, which each produce 30 pieces of candy. If Jan breaks down 3 blocks of candy and every single piece of candy from this is used in the candy necklaces, how many friends receive a candy necklace? There are a total of 3 blocks of candy * 30 pieces of candy per candy block = <<3*30=90>>90 pieces of candy. Using this, Jan can create 90 pieces of candy / 10 pieces of candy per candy necklace = <<90/10=9>>9 candy necklaces. As Jan is keeping a candy necklace too, there must have been enough candy necklaces for 9 candy necklaces – 1 candy necklace for Jan = <<9-1=8>>8 friends. #### 8 Aaron has four times as many cows as does Matthews. Together, they have 30 more cows than Marovich. If Matthews has 60 cows, how many cows do the three have altogether? If Matthews has 60 cows, Aaron has 4*60 = 240 cows. Together, Aaron and Matthews have 240+60 = <<240+60=300>>300 cows. Since Marovich has 30 fewer cows than the combined number of cows that Aaron and Matthews have, Marovich has 300-30 = <<300-30=270>>270 cows. Altogether, the three have 270+300 = <<270+300=570>>570 cows #### 570 Maddie watches 8 episodes of a TV show this week. Each episode is about 44 minutes long. If she watches 138 minutes of the show on Monday. She does not watch any TV on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, she watches 21 minutes. On Friday, she watches 2 episodes. How many more minutes did she watch over the weekend? Maddie watches a total of 8*44=<<8*44=352>>352 minutes of the TV show during the week. On Friday, she watches 2*44=<<2*44=88>>88 minutes On Monday, Thursday, and Friday, she watches 138+21+88 = <<138+21+88=247>>247 minutes. Thus, on the weekend she watches 352-247 = <<352-247=105>>105 minutes of the TV show. #### 105 Jane is painting her fingernails. She applies a base coat that takes 2 minutes to dry, two color coats that take 3 minutes each to dry, and a clear top coat that takes 5 minutes to dry. How many minutes total does Jane spend waiting for her nail polish to dry? First figure out how long both color coats will take to dry: 3 minutes * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 minutes Then add up the time for the base coat, top coat, and color coats: 6 minutes + 2 minutes + 5 minutes = <<6+2+5=13>>13 minutes #### 13 Two apartment roommates split the rent, utilities, and grocery payments equally each month. The rent for the whole apartment is $1100 and utilities are $114. If one roommate pays $757 in all, how many dollars are groceries for the whole apartment? Rent plus utilities for the whole apartment is 1100+114 = $<<1100+114=1214>>1214 If one roommate pays $757 in all, the total cost of everything is 757*2 = <<757*2=1514>>1514 The groceries cost 1514-1214 = <<1514-1214=300>>300 #### 300 Billy and Tiffany are having a contest to see how can run the most miles in a week. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, Billy runs 1 mile each day and Tiffany runs 2 miles each day. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Billy runs 1 mile each day and Tiffany runs a 1/3 of a mile each day. On Saturday Tiffany assumes she's going to win and takes the day off. How many miles does Billy have to run on Saturday to tie Tiffany? Billy has already run 6 miles because 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus plus 1 equals 6 Tiffany has already run 7 miles because 2 plus 2 plus 2 plus 1/3 plus 1/3 plus 1/3 equals <<2+2+2+1/3+1/3+1/3=7>>7 Billy has to run 1 mile to tie Tiffany because 7 minus 6 equals 1. #### 1 Sasha made 30 chocolate muffins for her school bake sale fundraiser. Melissa made 4 times as many muffins as Sasha, and Tiffany made half of Sasha and Melissa's total number of muffins. If one muffin sold for $4, how much money did Sasha, Melissa, and Tiffany contribute to the fundraiser? Melissa made 30 x 4 = <<30*4=120>>120 muffins Together, Melissa and Sasha made 30 + 120 = <<30+120=150>>150 muffins Tiffany made 150/2 = <<150/2=75>>75 muffins Altogether, they made 150 + 75 = <<150+75=225>>225 muffins They contributed 225 x $4 = $<<225*4=900>>900 to the fundraiser #### 900 John decided to start rowing around a square lake. Each side of the lake is 15 miles. Jake can row at twice the speed he can swim. It takes him 20 minutes to swim 1 mile. How long, in hours, does it take to row the lake? The perimeter of the lake is 4*15=<<4*15=60>>60 miles He swims at a speed of 60/20=<<60/20=3>>3 mph So he rows at a speed of 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 mph That means it takes him 60/6=<<60/6=10>>10 hours to row around the lake #### 10
