Chad is hosting a BBQ on the hottest day of the year, where there will be a total of 15 people. He will need 2 pounds of ice per person to account for the heat. One pound bags of ice are sold for $3.00 for a pack of 10. How much will he spend on ice?

He’s inviting 15 guests and will need 2 pounds per person so he will need 15*2 =

<<15*2=30>>30 pounds of ice Ice is sold in 10-pound bags and he needs 30 pounds so he will need 30/10 = <<30/10=3>>3 bags of ice Each bag is $3.00 and he needs 3 bags so they will cost 3*3 = $<<3*3=9.00>>9.00 #### 9 A store ordered 300 more than twice as many pens as it did pencils at $5 each. If the cost of a pencil was $4, and the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, calculate the total amount of money they paid for the stationery. If the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, they ordered 15*80 = <<15*80=1200>>1200 pencils. If the cost of a pencil was $4, the store paid $4*1200 = $<<4*1200=4800>>4800 for all the pencils. Twice as many pens as pencils that the store ordered are 2*1200= <<2*1200=2400>>2400 If A store ordered 300 more than twice as many pens as it did pencils, it ordered 2400+300= <<2400+300=2700>>2700 pencils. Since the cost of the pens was $5, the store paid 2700*$5 = $<<2700*5=13500>>13500 for the pens. The total amount of money they paid for the stationery is 13500+4800 = $<<13500+4800=18300>>18300 #### 18300 Reynald is the head of the varsity department, and he bought 145 balls. Twenty were soccer balls. There were five more basketballs than the soccer balls. Twice the number of soccer balls were tennis balls. There were ten more baseballs than the soccer balls, and the rest were volleyballs. How many were volleyballs? There were 20 + 5 = <<20+5=25>>25 basketballs. There were 2 x 20 = <<2*20=40>>40 tennis balls. And, there were 20 + 10 = <<20+10=30>>30 baseballs. So, there were 20 + 25 + 40 + 30 = 115 soccer balls, basketballs, tennis balls and baseball altogether. Therefore, Reynald bought 145 - 115 = <<145-115=30>>30 volleyballs, #### 30 Linda is repainting her bedroom. The wall area is 600 sq. ft. If a gallon of paint can cover 400 sq. ft., how many gallon cans of paint will Linda have to buy if she wants to do two coats? Linda wants to do two coats, so the total area she will be painting is 2 coats * 600 sq. ft./coat = <<2*600=1200>>1200 sq. ft. A gallon of paint will cover 400 sq. ft., so Linda will need 1200 sq. ft. / 400 sq. ft. per can = <<1200/400=3>>3 cans of paint #### 3 During vacation, Jimmy visits different beaches on an island, so he changes his place of lodging from time to time. The first 3 days he stays in a hostel, where he is charged $15 per night. The fourth and fifth days he stays in a cabin where he shares expenses with 2 of his friends, and they are charged $45 total per night. How much did Jimmy spend on lodging? For the first 3 days, he pays 3 * $15 = $<<3*15=45>>45 The next 2 days, he and his friends pay $45 * 2 =$<<45*2=90>>90 Jimmy and his 2 friends pay $90 / 3 = $<<90/3=30>>30 each. In total, Jimmy spent $45 + $30 = $<<45+30=75>>75 #### 75 Teagan saved 200 pennies in her piggy bank. Rex has a mason jar filled with 100 nickels. Toni has 330 dimes stashed inside a giant mug. How much money did the three kids save altogether? Teagan saved 1 cent (.01) x 200 = $2. Rex has 5 cents (.05) x 100 = $5. Toni has 10 cents (.10) x 330 = $33. Together, the three kids saved $2 + $5 + $33 = $<<2+5+33=40>>40. #### 40 Caleb, Andy and Billy went on a picnic with their father. Billy took 6 candies with him, Caleb took 11 and Andy left with 9. On the way, their father bought a packet of 36 candies. He gave 8 candies to Billy, 11 to Caleb and the rest to Andy. How many more candies does Andy now have than Caleb? Billy took some candies and got more from his father for a total of 6+8 = <<6+8=14>>14 candies Caleb has a total of 11+11 = <<11+11=22>>22 candies Their father gave out 8+11 = <<8+11=19>>19 candies from a pack of 36 He gave the rest which is 36-19 = <<36-19=17>>17 candies to Andy Andy has a total of 9+17 = <<9+17=26>>26 candies Andy has 26-22 = <<26-22=4>>4 more candies than Caleb #### 4 Mr. Langsley commutes to work every day by bus. The bus picks him up at 6:00 a.m. and takes forty minutes to arrive at the first station. If Mr. Langsley arrives at work at 9:00 a.m., what's the total time taken in minutes from the first station to Mr. Langsley's workplace? The total time taken for the whole journey is 9:00-6:00 = <<9-6=3>>3 hours. The total time taken in minutes is 3*60 = <<3*60=180>>180 minutes. If it takes 40 minutes to reach the first station, then the rest of the journey takes 180 - 40 = <<180-40=140>>140 minutes. #### 140 Jacob loves to build things. In Jacob's toy bin there are 18 red blocks. There are 7 more yellow blocks than red blocks. There are also 14 more blue blocks than red blocks. How many blocks are there in all? The number of yellow blocks is 18 blocks + 7 blocks = <<18+7=25>>25 blocks. The number of blue blocks is 18 blocks + 14 blocks = <<18+14=32>>32 blocks. The total number of red, yellow, and blue blocks is 18 blocks + 25 blocks + 32 blocks = <<18+25+32=75>>75 blocks. #### 75 John has a donkey and an elephant. The elephant weighs 3 tons (a ton is 2000 pounds). The donkey weighs 90% less. What is their combined weight in pounds? The elephant weighs 3*2000=<<3*2000=6000>>6000 pounds The donkey weighs 6000*.9=<<6000*.9=5400>>5400 pounds less So the donkey weighs 6000-5400=<<6000-5400=600>>600 pounds That means the combined weight is 600+6000=<<600+6000=6600>>6600 pounds #### 6600
