Brandon can catch 6 squirrels or two rabbits in 1 hour. Each squirrel has 300 calories and each rabbit has 800 calories. How many more calories will he get per hour if he catches squirrels instead of rabbits?

First find how many calories per hour Brandon gets from squirrels: 300 calories/squirrel * 6 squirrels =

<<300*6=1800>>1800 calories Then find how many calories per hour Brandon gets from rabbits: 800 calories/rabbit * 2 rabbits = 1600 calories Then subtract the number of calories per hour from rabbits from the number from squirrels to find the difference: 1800 calories - 1600 calories = <<1800-1600=200>>200 calories #### 200 Tommy's mother lets him ride his bike 2 blocks north of his block, 3 blocks east, 2 blocks west, and 2 blocks south. His friend's father lets his friend ride his bike 80 square blocks. How many times greater is the area his friend can ride in compared to Tommy? Tommy's area is 5 blocks wide because 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 His area is 4 blocks tall because 2 + 2 = <<2+2=4>>4 The total area is 20 square blocks because 5 x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 His friend's area is 4 times bigger because 80 / 20 = <<80/20=4>>4 #### 4 Mr. Smith takes his wife, his parents, and his 3 children to a seafood buffet. The price for the adult buffet is $30. The price for the children’s buffet is $15. Senior citizens get a 10% discount. How much does Mr. Smith spend on the buffet for his entire family? The buffet cost for Mr. Smith and his wife is $30 x 2 = $<<30*2=60>>60. The buffet cost for his children is $15 x 3 = $<<15*3=45>>45. The buffet cost for 1 senior citizen is $30 x 90% = $<<30*90*.01=27>>27. B uffet cost for the grandparents is $27 x 2 = $<<27*2=54>>54. Buffet cost for the entire family is $60 + $45 + $54 = $<<60+45+54=159>>159 #### 159 There are 60 passengers on a bus. Children make up 25% of the bus riders. How many adults are on the bus? The number of children on the bus is 60 passengers * 25% = <<60*25*.01=15>>15 passengers. The number of adults on the bus is 60 passengers - 15 passengers = <<60-15=45>>45 passengers. #### 45 In a factory, there are 300 employees. 200 of them earn $12 per hour. Of the rest, 40 of them earn $14 per hour. All others earn $17 per hour. What is the cost to employ all these people for one 8-hour long shift? The cost of the 200 employees is 200 employees * $12/employee/hour = $<<200*12=2400>>2400 per hour. The cost of the 40 employees is 40 employees * $14/employee/hour = $<<40*14=560>>560 per hour. The rest means 300 employees - 200 employees - 40 employees = <<300-200-40=60>>60 employees. These 60 employees' employment costs are at 60 employees * $17/employee/hour = $<<60*17=1020>>1020 per hour. So in total all employees earn $2400/hour + $560/hour + $1020/hour = $3980/hour. During an 8-hour shift, this cost would be at 8 hours * $3980/hour = $<<8*3980=31840>>31840. #### 31840 Wyatt has 10 blue envelopes. He has 4 fewer yellow envelopes than blue envelopes. How many envelopes does Wyatt have in all? Wyatt has 10 - 4 = <<10-4=6>>6 yellow envelopes. The total number of envelopes he has is 10 blue + 6 yellow = <<10+6=16>>16 envelopes. #### 16 A local restaurant was offering a "Build Your Own Hot Brownie" dessert. The brownie cost $2.50 and each scoop of ice cream costs $1.00. Any syrup costs $0.50 and nuts cost $1.50. If Juanita orders the brownie with 2 scoops of ice cream, double syrup, and nuts, how much will her dessert cost? She orders 2 scoops of ice cream that's $1.00 per scoop so the ice cream costs 2*1 = $<<2*1=2.00>>2.00. She wants double syrup. The syrup is $0.50 so that will cost 2*.50 = $<<2*.50=1.00>>1.00. The brownie is $2.50, the ice cream will be $2.00, the syrup will be $1.00 and the nuts will be $1.50 bringing her total to 2.5+2+1+1.5 = $<<2.5+2+1+1.5=7.00>>7.00. #### 7 Tickets to the school play cost $6 for students and $8 for adults. If 20 students and 12 adults bought tickets, how many dollars' worth of tickets were sold? The students bought $6*20=$<<6*20=120>>120 worth of tickets The adults bought $8*12=$<<8*12=96>>96 worth of tickets Together $120 + $96 = $<<120+96=216>>216 worth of tickets were sold #### 216 Last week, Tony went to a toy store and bought $250 a set of Lego blocks, a $120 worth toy sword, and a $35 play dough. He bought 3 sets of lego, 7 toy swords, and 10 play doughs. How much did Tony pay in total? The total cost for the legos are 3 x $250 = $<<3*250=750>>750. The total cost for the toy swords is 7 x $120 = $<<7*120=840>>840. The total cost for the play doughs is 10 x $35 = $<<10*35=350>>350. Therefore the total cost for everything is $750 + $840 + $350 = $<<750+840+350=1940>>1940. #### 1940 Carla needs to bring water to her animals. Each horse needs twice as much water as a pig, and the chickens drink from one tank that needs 30 gallons. How many gallons of water does Carla need to bring if she has 8 pigs and 10 horses and each pig needs 3 gallons of water? First figure out how much water all the pigs need: 8 pigs * 3 gallons/pig = <<8*3=24>>24 gallons Then figure out how much water one horse needs by multiplying a pig's needs by 2: 3 gallons * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 gallons Now find how much water all the horses need: 10 horses * 6 gallons/horse = <<10*6=60>>60 gallons Finally, add up all the animals' water needs: 24 gallons + 60 gallons + 30 gallons = <<24+60+30=114>>114 gallons #### 114
