Lindsey saved $50 in September, she saved $37 in October, and $11 in November. Lindsey's mom said that since Lindsey had saved more than $75, she would give Lindsey $25. Then Lindsey spent $87 on a video game. How much money did Lindsey have left?

Lindsey saved $50 + $37 + $11 = $

<<50+37+11=98>>98. $98 is greater than $75, so Lindsey is given an addition $25 + her original $98 = $<<98+25=123>>123. Lindsey had $123 - $87 video game = $<<123-87=36>>36 remaining. #### 36 James decides to use tannerite to blow things up to reveal his baby's gender. The explosion ignites both his neighbors' houses and attracts a police officer, who arrests James on two count of arson, one count of manufacturing explosives, and one count of domestic terrorism. If the arson counts each carry a 6-year sentence, the explosives sentence is twice as long as the total arson sentence, and the domestic terrorism charge's sentence is 20 years, how long might James spend in jail? First find the total sentence length for the arson: 6 years/count * 2 counts = 12 years Then find the total sentence length for the explosives: 12 years * 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 years Then add each sentence to find the total sentence length: 12 years + 24 years + 20 years = <<12+24+20=56>>56 years #### 56 Scott wants to make and freeze a large batch of ratatouille. At the farmers' market he buys 5 pounds of eggplants and 4 pounds of zucchini at $2.00 a pound. He needs 4 pounds of tomatoes that are $3.50 a pound. The onions are $1.00 a pound and he needs 3 pounds. Then he needs a pound of basil which is sold for $2.50 per half pound. If this yields 4 quarts, how much does each quart cost? He buys 5 pounds of eggplants and 4 pounds of zucchini so he buys 5+4 = <<5+4=9>>9 pounds of produce These 9 pounds are $2.00 a pound for a total of 9*2 = $<<9*2=18.00>>18.00 He needs 4 pounds of tomatoes that are $3.50 a pound for a total of 4*3.50 = $<<4*3.50=14.00>>14.00 He needs 3 pounds of onions that are $1.00 a pound so that's 3*1 = $<<3*1=3.00>>3.00 The basil is sold by the half-pound and he needs a full pound so that's 2.50*2 = $<<2.5*2=5.00>>5.00 The eggplants and zucchinis cost $18.00, the tomatoes are $14.00, the onions are $3.00 and the basil is $5.00 for a total of 18+14+3+5 = $<<18+14+3+5=40.00>>40.00 This recipe makes 4 quarts and the total price of the vegetables was $40.00 so each quart costs 40/4 = $10.00 #### 10 The cafe has 16 chefs and 16 waiters. If 6 chefs and 3 waiters drop out, how many chefs and waiters are left? There are 16 chefs - 6 chefs = <<16-6=10>>10 chefs left. There are 16 waiters - 3 waiters = <<16-3=13>>13 waiters left. In total there are 10 chefs + 13 waiters = <<10+13=23>>23 chefs and waiters left. #### 23 Hugo's mountain has an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level. Boris' mountain has an elevation that is 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, how many times would Boris need to climb his mountain to have climbed the same number of feet as Hugo? Boris' mountain has an elevation 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain, or 10,000-2,500=<<10000-2500=7500>>7500 feet above sea level. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, his total climbing distance would be 3*10,000=<<3*10000=30000>>30,000 feet. To climb a total of 30,000 feet, Boris would need to need to climb his mountain 30,000/7,500=<<30000/7500=4>>4 times. #### 4 Mrs. Carlton gives out penalty points whenever her students misbehave. They get 5 points for interrupting, 10 points for insulting their classmates, and 25 points for throwing things. If they get 100 points, they have to go to the office. Jerry already interrupted twice and insulted his classmates 4 times. How many times can he throw things before he gets sent to the office? For interrupting, Jerry got 5 points per interruption * 2 interruptions = <<5*2=10>>10 points For insulting, he got 10 points per insult * 4 insults = <<10*4=40>>40 points To get to the 100 limit points, Jerry has 100 points - 10 points - 40 points = <<100-10-40=50>>50 points left He still has 50 points / 25 points per throw = <<50/25=2>>2 throws #### 2 Kate has 2 red balloons and 4 blue balloons. Assuming she inflates 4 more balloons, two of each color red and blue, what is the percent likelihood that one selected at random will be red? After inflating the 4 new balloons, she will have 2 red + 4 blue + 4 new = <<2+4+4=10>>10 total balloons The probability of selecting red will be (2 red + 2 red newly inflated) / 10 total balloons = 40% #### 40 Mrs. Choi purchased a house for $80000. Five years later, she sold it for a 20% profit and got a 5% broker's commission from the original price. How much did the house sell for? The 20% profit amounts to $80 000 x 20/100 = $16 000. The 5% commission amounts to $80 000 x 5/100 = $4 000. So the selling price is $80 000+ $16 000 + $4 000 = $100 000. #### 100,000 Elsa gets 500 MB of cell phone data each month. If she spends 300 MB watching Youtube and 2/5 of what's left on Facebook, how many MB of data does she have left? First subtract the 300 MB Elsa spent on YouTube: 500 MB - 300 MB = <<500-300=200>>200 MB. Then multiply 200 MB by 2/5th to find out how much data Elsa spent on Facebook: 200 MB * 2/5 = <<200*2/5=80>>80 MB. Finally, subtract the data Elsa spent on Facebook from the 200 MB: 200 MB - 80 MB = <<200-80=120>>120 MB. #### 120 Lee is saving up for a new pair of sneakers which cost $90. He already has $15 saved. He plans to sell his old action figures to make the rest. If he sells 10 action figures and still has $25 left after buying the sneakers how much did he charge per action figure? Before buying the shoes he had $115 dollars because 90 + 25 = <<90+25=115>>115 He earned $100 from selling action figures because 115 - 15 = <<115-15=100>>100 He sold them each for $10 because 100 / 10 = <<100/10=10>>10 #### 10
