She first went and made a $4 donation in exchange for a ticket to the local charity draw. When the draw was done, she was declared the winner of the 5th prize of $90. Excited, she quickly dashed to play slots at one of the casinos in Atlantic City. Unfortunately, she lost $50 at the first slot machine, $10 at the second and $5 at the last one. Dejected, she decided to take a long walk. She soon grew thirsty and entered the first gas station she saw. She picked a $1 bottle of water and while paying for it, she bought a $1 lottery ticket. To her utter delight, she won an instant prize of $65. How much money did Renata end up having? After the charity ticket purchase on Saturday morning, Renata remained with 10 - 4 = <<10-4=6>>6 dollars. Adding the prize money give her 6+90 = <<6+90=96>>96 dollars At the casino, she lost 50 + 10 + 5 = <<50+10+5=65>>65 dollars Thus far, Renata remained with 96 - 65 = <<96-65=31>>31 dollars The amount she spent on the bottle of water and lottery ticket is 1 + 1 = <<1+1=2>>2 dollars This means that she remained with 31- 2 = <<31-2=29>>29 dollars Since she won 65 dollars, Renata’s ended up having 29 + 65 = <<29+65=94>>94 dollars. #### 94 On a weekend road trip, the Jensen family drove 210 miles on highways, where their car gets 35 miles for each gallon of gas and 54 miles on city streets where their car gets 18 miles for each gallon. How many gallons of gas did they use? On highways, the Jensen family used 210 miles / 35 miles/gallon = <<210/35=6>>6 gallons of gas. On city streets, the Jensen family used 54 miles / 18 miles/gallon = <<54/18=3>>3 gallons of gas. Total, the Jensen family used 6 gallons + 3 gallons = <<6+3=9>>9 gallons of gas. #### 9 Miles is a musician. He owns three fewer trumpets than he has fingers, and two more guitars than he has hands. He also owns two more trombones than he has heads, and one fewer French horn than he has guitars. What is the total number of musical instruments that Miles owns? Three fewer trumpets than Miles has fingers is 10-3=<<10-3=7>>7 trumpets. Two more guitars than he has hands is 2+2=<<2+2=4>>4 guitars. Two more trombones than he has heads is 2+1=<<2+1=3>>3 trombones. And one fewer French horn than he has guitars is 4-1=<<4-1=3>>3 French horns. Altogether, Miles owns 7+4+3+3=<<7+4+3+3=17>>17 musical instruments. #### 17 There are 24 toys in the box and ¼ of them are action figures. The remaining toys are all dolls. How many dolls are there? Since there are 24 toys in the box, there are ¼ * 24 = 6 action figures. Because the rest of the toys are dolls, there are 24 - 6 = <<24-6=18>>18 dolls in the box. #### 18 There are 381 pages in Elliot’s book. He has already read 149 pages. If he reads 20 pages a day for a week, how many pages are still left to be read? In a week, Elliot will read 20 x 7 = <<20*7=140>>140 pages. Adding the prior readings, he has read a total of 149 + 140 = <<149+140=289>>289 pages. There are 381 - 289 = <<381-289=92>>92 pages still left to be read. #### 92 A wheel on a certain machine makes 6 turns every 30 seconds. How many turns does it make in two hours? Since there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, then there are 60/30 = <<60/30=2>>2 sets of 30 seconds in a minute. So a wheel makes 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 turns in 1 minute. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then a wheel makes 12 x 60 = <<12*60=720>>720 turns in an hour. Therefore, the wheel makes 720 x 2 = <<720*2=1440>>1440 turns in 2 hours. #### 1440 A truck driver has to spend $2 per gallon of gas. She can drive 10 miles per gallon. She drives at a rate of 30 miles per hour. If she is paid $.50 per mile, how much money does she make if she drives for 10 hours? The truck driver drives for 10 hours at 30 miles per hour, so she drives 10*30=<<10*30=300>>300 miles. Therefore, she needs 300/10=<<300/10=30>>30 gallons of gas. This will cost her 30*$2=$<<30*2=60>>60. She will make 300*$.50= $<<300*.50=150>>150. Thus, after paying for gas, she will make $150-$60=$<<150-60=90>>90. #### 90 Since the 40th president launched his reelection campaign today, he has raised $10,000 in campaign funds. His friends raised 40% of this amount and his family raised 30% of the remaining amount. The rest of the funds are from his own savings for the election. How much did he save for the presidency? The total amount of money raised from friends contribution is 40/100*$10000 = $<<40/100*10000=4000>>4000 Minus his friend's contribution, the 40th president has raised $10000-$4000 = $6000 The family raised 30/100*$6000 = $<<30/100*6000=1800>>1800 If the family raised $1800, the savings the 40th president had for the campaign is $6000-$1800 = $4200 #### 4200 John manages to run 15 mph for his whole 5-mile race. The next fastest guy ran the race in 23 minutes. How many minutes did he win the race by? He runs the race in 5/15=1/3 of an hour So he runs the race in 60/3=<<60/3=20>>20 minutes That means he beat the next fastest guy by 23-20=<<23-20=3>>3 minutes #### 3
