For Halloween, Taquon, Mack and Jafari put their candy together and they had 418 pieces of candy. If Taquon and Mack each had 171 pieces of candy, how many pieces of candy did Jafari start with?

Taquon + Mack = 2 * 171 = 342 pieces

418 - 342 =

<<418-342=76>>76 pieces Jafari started with 76 pieces of candy. #### 76 John uses the bathroom every 50 minutes. How many times does he use the bathroom during a 2.5-hour movie? The movie last 2.5*60=<<2.5*60=150>>150 minutes So he uses the bathroom 150/50=<<150/50=3>>3 times #### 3 Johnny wrote an essay with 150 words. Madeline wrote an essay that was double in length, and Timothy wrote an essay that had 30 words more than Madeline's. If one page contains 260 words, how many pages do Johnny, Madeline, and Timothy's essays fill? Madeline's essay was 150 x 2 = <<150*2=300>>300 words. Timothy's essay was 300 + 30 = <<300+30=330>>330 words. All together, they wrote 150 + 300 + 330 = <<150+300+330=780>>780 words. Their essays fill 780/260 = <<780/260=3>>3 pages. #### 3 There are four lamps in Valerie's room. All of them are burnt out, so she needs to buy new light bulbs. She needs 3 small light bulbs and 1 large light bulb. She has $60 to spend. If small light bulbs cost $8 and large light bulbs cost $12, how much money will Valerie have left over? She will spend 3*$8=$<<3*8=24>>24 on small light bulbs. In total she will spend $24+$12=$<<24+12=36>>36 on the 4 light bulbs. She will have $60-$36=$<<60-36=24>>24 left over. #### 24 John has taken 10 pictures every day for the past 3 years. He saves them in raw format so each memory card can store 50 images. Each memory card costs $60. How much does he spend on memory cards? He takes pictures for 3*365=<<3*365=1095>>1095 days So he takes 10*1095=<<10*1095=10950>>10,950 pictures That means he needs 10950/50=<<10950/50=219>>219 memory cards So he spends 219*60=$<<219*60=13140>>13140 on memory cards #### 13140 A gift shop sells bracelets at $15 each, a gold heart necklace at $10, and a personalized coffee mug at $20. Raine buys three bracelets, two gold heart necklaces, and one coffee mug for her friends. How much change does Raine get back if she gives a one hundred dollar bill? Three bracelets cost 3 x $15 = $<<3*15=45>>45. Two gold necklaces cost 2 x $10 = $<<2*10=20>>20. Thus, the total amount is $45 + $20 + $20 = $<<45+20+20=85>>85. Therefore, Raine gets a change of $100 - $85 = $<<100-85=15>>15. #### 15 198 passengers fit into 9 buses. How many passengers fit in 5 buses? 198 passengers / 9 buses = <<198/9=22>>22 passengers fit in one bus. 22 passengers/bus * 5 buses = <<22*5=110>>110 passengers fit in 5 buses. #### 110 Ellie went to visit a circus with Sarah and they both got lost in the house of mirrors. They have to travel through the house of mirrors a few times before they finally get out and when they leave, they discuss how many times they've seen their own reflections. Sarah says that every time they were in the room with tall mirrors, she saw her reflection 10 times and every time they were in the room with wide mirrors, she saw her reflection 5 times. Ellie says that every time they were in the room with tall mirrors, she saw her reflection 6 times and every time they were in the room with wide mirrors she saw her reflection 3 times. They both passed through the room with tall mirrors 3 times each and they both passed through the room with wide mirrors 5 times each. In total, how many times did Sarah and Ellie see their reflections? In the rooms with tall mirrors, Sarah saw her reflection a total of 10 reflections * 3 passes = <<10*3=30>>30 times. In the rooms with wide mirrors, Sarah saw her reflection a total of 5 reflections * 5 passes = <<5*5=25>>25 reflections. So Sarah saw her reflection a total of 30 + 25 = <<30+25=55>>55 times. In the rooms with tall mirrors, Ellie saw her reflection a total of 6 reflections * 3 passes = <<6*3=18>>18 times. In the rooms with wide mirrors, Ellie saw her reflection a total of 3 reflections * 5 passes = <<3*5=15>>15 times. So Ellie saw her reflection a total of 18 + 15 = <<18+15=33>>33 times. Therefore, Sarah and Ellie saw their reflections a total of 55 + 33 = <<55+33=88>>88 times. #### 88 Kenny wants to make sure he does more jumping jacks every week than he did the week before. He recorded that last week he did 324 total jumping jacks. On Saturday of this week, he looks at his records and sees that on Sunday he did 34. On Monday he did 20. On Tuesday he skipped a day. On Wednesday he did 123. On Thursday he did 64. On Friday he did 23. How many does he have to do on Saturday to make sure he beats last week's number? He has already done 264 this week because 34 + 20 + 123 + 64 + 23 = <<34+20+123+64+23=264>>264. If he does 60 he will have done as many as last week because 324 - 264 = <<60=60>>60 He has to do 61 on Saturday because 60 + 1 = <<60+1=61>>61 #### 61 In a field of 500 clovers, 20% have four leaves and one quarter of these are purple clovers. Assuming these proportions are exactly correct, how many clovers in the field are both purple and four-leaved? There are 500/5= <<500/5=100>>100 four leaf clovers There are 100/4= <<100/4=25>>25 purple four leaf clovers #### 25
