Each truck uses three tanks with a capacity of 150 liters of water. How many liters of water in total can the farmer carry in his trucks? 1 truck uses 3 tanks of 150 liters, so a truck can carry 3 tanks per truck * 150 liters = <<3*150=450>>450 liters per truck. The total amount of water the 3 trucks carry is 3 trucks * 450 liters per truck= <<3*450=1350>>1350 liters. #### 1350 Jean is a customer service rep and answered 35 phone calls on Monday. On Tuesday, she answered 46 and took 27 calls on Wednesday. On Thursday she answered 61 calls and finished off answering 31 calls on Friday. What’s the average number of calls she answers per day? During the week she answered 35 on Mon, 46 on Tue, 27 on Wed, 61 on Thurs and 31 on Fri for a total of 35+46+27+61+31 = <<35+46+27+61+31=200>>200 calls She answered 200 calls over 5 days so on average, she answered 200/5 = <<200/5=40>>40 calls a day #### 40 Wayne wants to serve shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. He plans on 5 shrimp per guest and will have 40 guests. If the shrimp costs $17.00 per pound and each pound has 20 shrimp, how much will he spend on the appetizer? He wants to serve 5 shrimp per guest and will have 40 guests so he needs 5*40 = <<5*40=200>>200 shrimp Each pound of shrimp has 20 shrimp and he needs 200 shrimp so he needs 200/20 = <<200/20=10>>10 pounds of shrimp The shrimp is $17.00 per pound and he needs 10 pounds so he will spend 17*10 = $<<17*10=170.00>>170.00 on shrimp #### 170 A farmer harvested 250 potatoes. He bundled them in twenty-five's and sold each bundle for $1.90. He also harvested 320 carrots and bundled them in twenty's and sold each bundle for $2. If the farmer sold all his harvested crops, how much did he get in all? There are 250/25 = <<250/25=10>>10 bundles of potatoes. So, 20 bundles of potatoes amount to $1.9 x 10 = $19. There are 320/20 = <<320/20=16>>16 bundles of carrots. So, 16 bundles of carrots amount to $2 x 16 = $<<2*16=32>>32. Hence, the farmer got $19 + $32 = $<<19+32=51>>51 in all. #### 51 There are two babysitters named Mila and Agnes. Mila makes $10 an hour while Agnes makes $15 an hour. Agnes works 8 hours each week. How many hours does Mila need to work to earn as much as Agnes in a month? The weekly salary of Agnes is $15 x 8 = $<<15*8=120>>120. So in a month, Agnes earns $120 x 4 = $<<120*4=480>>480. Therefore, Mila needs to work for $480 / $10 = <<480/10=48>>48 hours to earn as much as Agnes's monthly earnings. #### 48 A company has 500 employees, each paid $12 per hour, working 10 hours a day, five days a week, 4 weeks a month. In August, the amount of work increased, and the company hired 200 more people. How much money does the company pay in total per month after the new hires? The total pay per employee in a day is 12*10 = $<<12*10=120>>120 An employee works for 5*4 = <<5*4=20>>20 days in a month. The total amount of money paid to each employee monthly is 20*120 = $<<20*120=2400>>2400 When the number of employees increased to 500+200 = <<500+200=700>>700 after the new hires in August. The company pays a total of 700*2400 = $<<700*2400=1680000>>1680000 per month to its employees #### 1680000 Mara has 12 bags with 2 marbles in each bag. Markus has 2 bags with 13 marbles in each bag. How many more marbles does Markus have? Mara has 2 x 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 marbles. Markus has 2 x 13 = <<2*13=26>>26 marbles. Markus has 26 - 24 = <<26-24=2>>2 more marbles than Mara. #### 2 Jeff is collecting matchbox cars. He has twice as many cars as trucks. He has 60 total vehicles. How many trucks does he have? The number of trucks + 2(number of trucks) = 60 Therefore 3(number of trucks) = 60 Number of trucks = 20 because 60 / 3 = <<60/3=20>>20 #### 20 John chops down 30 trees. From each tree, he can make 25 planks. A table takes 15 planks to make and sells for $300. He paid $3000 for all the labor. How much profit did he make? He got 30*25=<<30*25=750>>750 planks So he can make 750/15=<<750/15=50>>50 tables That means he makes 50*300=$<<50*300=15000>>15000 So his profit was 15000-3000=$<<15000-3000=12000>>12000 #### 12000
