There are 14 green papayas on the papaya tree. On Friday, two of the fruits turned yellow. On Sunday, twice as many fruits as on Friday turn yellow. How many green papayas are left on the tree?

On Sunday 2 x 2 =

<<2*2=4>>4 papayas turned yellow. A total of 2 + 4 = <<2+4=6>>6 papayas turned yellow. There are 14 - 6 = <<14-6=8>>8 green papayas still left on the tree. #### 8 Tim and Donna will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in 2025. They started dating 3 years before they got married and met 2 years before that. When did they meet? They'll celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in 2025 which means they got married in 2025-20 = <<2025-20=2005>>2005 They started dating 3 years before they got married in 2005 which means they started dating in 2005-3 = 2002 And they met 2 years before they started dating which means they met in 2002-2 = 2000 #### 2000 A tomato plant has 100 tomatoes. Jane picks 1/4 of that number for use in their house. After a week, she goes back and picks 20 more tomatoes, and the following week picks twice that number. What's the total number of fruits remaining on the tomato plant? When she picks 1/4 of the number of tomatoes, she goes home with 1/4*100 = <<1/4*100=25>>25 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining will be 100-25 = <<100-25=75>>75 tomatoes. After picking 20 more tomatoes the following week, the number of tomatoes remaining is 75-20 = <<75-20=55>>55 tomatoes. The next week she picks twice the number she picked the previous week, that is 20*2 = <<20*2=40>>40 tomatoes. The total number of tomatoes remaining after the final picking is 55-40 = <<55-40=15>>15 tomatoes. #### 15 Jordan read 120 French novels last holiday. His brother Alexandre read 1/10 of what Jordan read. How many more novels did Jordan read than Alexandre? Alexandre read 120 * 1/10 = <<120*1/10=12>>12 novels. So, Jordan read 120 - 12 = <<120-12=108>>108 novels more than Alexandre. #### 108 Brendan has entered a kickboxing competition and wins matches against multiple contestants. He wins all of the matches in the first 2 rounds, each of which had 6 matches, then wins half of the 4 matches in the last round. How many matches did Brendan win throughout the competition? In the first 2 rounds, Brendan wins a total of 2 rounds * 6 matches per round = <<2*6=12>>12 matches. In the last round, Brendan wins half of the matches which is 4 matches / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 matches. Throughout the competition, Brendan has therefore won 12 + 2 = <<12+2=14>>14 matches. #### 14 Jamie collects glass balls. He had 16 red balls and two times more blue balls. Later on, he lost 6 of the red balls, so he decided to buy some yellow balls to fill up his collection. How many yellow balls did he buy if, after all, he had 74 balls in total? Jamie had two times more blue balls than red ones, so he had 2 blue/red * 16 red balls = <<2*16=32>>32 blue balls. He lost 6 red balls so he had only 16 red balls - 6 red balls = <<16-6=10>>10 red balls In total he had 32 blue balls + 10 red balls = <<32+10=42>>42 red and blue balls. He bought 74 balls - 42 red and blue balls = <<74-42=32>>32 yellow balls. #### 32 Calvin buys a pack of chips, for $0.50, from the vending machine at lunch, 5 days a week. After 4 weeks, how much money has Calvin spent on chips? The chips cost $0.50 a bag and he buys them 5 days a week so that's .50*5 = $<<0.50*5=2.50>>2.50 a week If he spends $2.50 on chips a week then over 4 weeks he will spend 2.50*4 = $<<2.50*4=10.00>>10.00 on chips #### 10 Police officer A patrols 36 streets in 4 hours. His colleague, officer B, patrols 55 streets in 5 hours. How many streets will both officers patrol in one hour? Officer A patrols 36 streets / 4 hours = <<36/4=9>>9 streets/hour. Officer B patrols 55 streets / 5 hours = <<55/5=11>>11 streets/hour Together officer A and B patrol 9 streets/hour + 11 streets/hour = <<9+11=20>>20 streets/hour. #### 20 Jim has a pail with rocks in it. The average weight of a rock is 1.5 pounds. A local rock collector agrees to pay him $4 for every pound of rocks. If he makes $60 off the sale, how many rocks were in the bucket? There were 15 pounds of rocks in the bucket because 60 / 4 = <<60/4=15>>15 There were 10 rocks in the bucket because 15 / 1.5 = <<10=10>>10 #### 10 In a field where there are 200 animals, there are 40 cows, 56 sheep and goats. How many goats are there? We have 56 + 40 = <<56+40=96>>96 animals other than goats. So, we have 200 – 96 = <<200-96=104>>104 goats #### 104
