Bonnie and Samuel went to the market together. Bonnie bought 8 apples. Samuel bought 20 more apples than Bonnie. Samuel then ate half of them and used 1/7 of them to make apple pie. How many apples does Samuel have left?

Samuel bought 20+8 =

<<20+8=28>>28 apples. Samuel ate 28/2 = <<28/2=14>>14 apples. Samuel used 28/7 = <<28/7=4>>4 to make apple pie. Samuel has 28-14-4 = <<28-14-4=10>>10 apples left. #### 10 Carla, Kyle, and Tasha caught 36 fish. If Kyle and Tasha caught the same number of fish and Carla caught 8, how many fish did Kyle catch? Kyle and Tasha caught 36 - 8 = <<36-8=28>>28 fish Kyle caught 28/2 = <<28/2=14>>14 fish #### 14 Randy got 90, 98, 92, and 94 in his first four quizzes. His goal is to get a 94 average on his 5 quizzes. What score should he get in the fifth quiz to reach his desired average? Since Randy wants to get an average of 94, then the sum of the 5 quizzes should be 94 x 5 = <<94*5=470>>470. The sum of Randy's score for the first four quizzes is 90 + 98 + 92 + 94 = <<90+98+92+94=374>>374. Thus, Randy needs to get 470 - 374 = <<470-374=96>>96 in his fifth quiz. #### 96 John has to pay taxes. He earned $100,000 for the year. He has $30,000 in deductions. The first $20,000 of taxable income is taxed at 10%. The rest is taxed at 20%. How much does he pay in taxes? His taxable income is 100,000-30,000=$<<100000-30000=70000>>70,000 So he pays 20,000*.1=$<<20000*.1=2000>>2000 tax at the lower rate He has to pay 70,000-20,000=$<<70000-20000=50000>>50,000 at the higher rate The taxes for that is 50,000*.2=$<<50000*.2=10000>>10,000 So his total tax bill is 10,000+2,000=$<<10000+2000=12000>>12,000 #### 12000 Frank has three less than half the number of cookies as Mike. Mike has three times as many cookies as Millie. If Millie has 4 cookies, how many cookies does Frank have? Mike has 4 * 3 = <<4*3=12>>12 cookies. Frank has 12 / 2 - 3 = <<12/2-3=3>>3 cookies #### 3 Marcus spends 20 minutes giving his dog a bath and half as long blow-drying her. Then he takes her for a walk along a 3-mile trail. If Marcus walks at 6 miles per hour, how much time does he spend with his dog total? First find the total amount of time Marcus spends blow-drying his dog: 20 minutes / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 minutes Then find the time Marcus spends walking: 3 miles / 6 miles/hour = <<3/6=.5>>.5 hours Then convert that time to minutes: .5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = <<.5*60=30>>30 minutes Then add up the time Marcus spends washing, drying and walking to find the total time: 10 minutes + 20 minutes + 30 minutes = <<10+20+30=60>>60 minutes #### 60 Candice read 3 times as many books as Amanda in their school's Book Tournament. Kara read half the number of books that Amanda read, and Patricia read 7 times the number of books that Kara read. If Candice read 18 books, how many books did Patricia read? Amanda read 18/3 = <<18/3=6>>6 books. Kara read 6/2 = <<6/2=3>>3 books. Patricia read 7 x 3 = <<7*3=21>>21 books. #### 21 Shelly makes braided keychains for her friends at school. Each keychain takes 12 inches of thread to braid. This year, she made six friends in classes and half that number from after-school clubs. She wants to make each of them a keychain. How many inches of thread does Shelly need? Shelly made 6 /2 = <<6/2=3>>3 friends from after-school clubs. She made 6 + 3 = <<6+3=9>>9 new friends at school this year. Shelly will need 9 * 12 = <<9*12=108>>108 inches of thread to make each friend a keychain. #### 108 Amanda and her family are going to re-paint all the walls inside their house. Before they get started they want to divide up the work. Since all the rooms in the house have different numbers and sizes of walls in them, they figure the fairest way to divide up the work is to count all the walls in the house and assign an equal number to each person. There are 5 people in Amanda's family, including herself. There are 9 rooms in the house. 5 of the rooms have 4 walls each. The other 4 rooms each have 5 walls each. To be fair, how many walls should each person in Amanda's family paint? First, Amanda needs to figure out how many walls there are in the house, 5 rooms x 4 walls each = <<5*4=20>>20 walls. The other 4 rooms have x 5 walls each = 20 walls. The house has 20 walls + 20 walls = <<20+20=40>>40 walls total. To divide the work equally between the 5 people, 40 walls / 5 people = <<40/5=8>>8 walls for each person. #### 8 On Wednesday, 37 students played kickball. On Thursday, 9 fewer students played kickball. How many students played kickball on Wednesday and Thursday? 37 - 9 = <<37-9=28>>28 students played kickball on Thursday. So, 37 + 28 = <<37+28=65>>65 students played kickball on Wednesday and Thursday. #### 65
