Harry is ordering pizza. A large pizza is 14. It costs $2 per topping. He orders 2 large pizzas, each with 3 toppings. He then adds a 25% tip. What is the total cost?

The toppings on each pizza are $6 because 3 x 2 =

<<3*2=6>>6 The total for each pizza is $20 because 14 + 6 = <<14+6=20>>20 The pizzas cost $40 because 2 x 20 = <<2*20=40>>40 The tip is $10 because 40 x .25 = <<40*.25=10>>10 The total is $50 because 40+ 10 = <<40+10=50>>50 #### 50 Pete walked 5 blocks from his house to the bus garage in Houston. He rode the bus 20 blocks to the post office to get some stamps. Later, he came home the same way. How many blocks did Pete travel in all? The number of blocks traveled on the way to the post office was 5 + 20 = <<5+20=25>>25. Pete traveled 25 × 2 = <<25*2=50>>50 blocks in all. #### 50 Archie holds the school record for most touchdown passes with 89 in a season of 16 games. Richard is close to breaking the record, having averaged 6 touchdowns a game in the first 14 games. How many touchdowns per game must he average in the final two games to beat Archie's record? Richard has scored 84 touchdowns because 14 x 6 = <<14*6=84>>84 To beat the record he must score 90 touchdowns because 89 + 1 = <<90=90>>90 He needs 6 more touchdowns to beat the record because 90 - 84 = <<6=6>>6 He has two games left because 16 - 14 = <<16-14=2>>2 He needs to average 3 touchdowns a game to beat the record because 6 / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3 #### 3 Jack wants to send thank you cards to everyone who got him a gift for his wedding. He sent out 200 invitations. 90% of people RSVPed but only 80% of people who RSVPed actually showed up. Then 10 people who showed up didn't get a gift. How many thank you cards does he need? He got 200*.9=<<200*.9=180>>180 RSVP Of those only 180*.8=<<180*.8=144>>144 people showed up So only 144-10=<<144-10=134>>134 got him gifts and hence need thank you cards. #### 134 Isabella earns $5 an hour babysitting. She babysits 5 hours every day, 6 afternoons a week. After babysitting for 7 weeks, how much money will Isabella have earned? She earns 5*5=$<<5*5=25>>25 in a day.

He managed to sell 3 little cars and a set of Legos. In total, he earned $45. How much did the Legos set cost, if one little car was sold for $5?

The lego set cost was then $45 - $15 = $<<45-15=30>>30. #### 30 Amanda’s garden contains 20 flowers and Peter’s garden contains three times as many flowers as Amanda's. If Peter gave 15 flowers to his brother, how many flowers are left in his garden? The number of flowers in Peter’s garden is 20 * 3 = <<20*3=60>>60 flowers. The number of flowers left after he gave his brother 15 flowers is 60 – 15 = <<60-15=45>>45 flowers. #### 45 John needs to get a new seeing-eye dog. The adoption fee cost $150 for an untrained dog. It then takes 12 weeks of training which costs $250 a week. After the training, she needs certification which costs $3000 but her insurance covers 90% of that. What is her out-of-pocket cost? The training cost 250*12=$<<250*12=3000>>3000 The insurance pays for 3000*.9=$<<3000*.9=2700>>2700 for certification That means she needs to pay 3000-2700=$<<3000-2700=300>>300 So her total cost was 150+300+3000=$<<150+300+3000=3450>>3450 #### 3450 I bought a pair of shoes for $51. The shoes were already marked 75% off. What is the original price of the shoes? Let X be the original price of the shoes. The discounted price is X - X*75% = 0.25 * X = $51. The original price of the shirt was X = $51 * 4 = $<<51*4=204>>204. #### 204 Archie received his medical receipt from his doctor, and he needs to take antibiotics three times a day. If antibiotic costs $3 each and he needs to take it for a week, how much money does he need to buy the antibiotics? Archie needs $3 x 3 = $<<3*3=9>>9 per day to buy 3 antibiotics. Therefore Archie needs $9 x 7 = $<<9*7=63>>63 to buy antibiotics that will last for a week. #### 63
