James and 4 of his friends volunteered to plant flowers. In 2 days, they were able to plant a total of 200 flowers. If each of them planted the same number of flowers, how many flowers did James plant in a day?

There were 1 + 4 =

<<1+4=5>>5 of them who volunteered to plant flowers. Each day, the 5 of them planted a total of 200/2 = <<200/2=100>>100 flowers. Thus, James planted 100/5 = <<100/5=20>>20 flowers in a day. #### 20 Jeff’s swimming coach required him to swim 98 laps over the weekend. On Saturday, Jeff swam 27 laps. On Sunday morning, he swam 15 laps, took a break, then resumed practice in the afternoon. How many laps did Jeff have remaining when he took the break? After Jeff swam on Saturday, there remained 98 - 27 = <<98-27=71>>71 laps After Sunday morning’s 15 laps there remained 71 - 15 = <<71-15=56>>56 laps Therefore, when Jeff took the break, he had 56 laps remaining #### 56 A baker bakes 5 loaves of bread an hour in one oven. He has 4 ovens. From Monday to Friday, he bakes for 5 hours, but on Saturday and Sunday, he only bakes for 2 hours. How many loaves of bread does the baker bake in 3 weeks? In an hour, the baker bakes 5 x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 loaves of bread. From Monday to Friday, he bakes 5 x 20 = <<5*20=100>>100 loaves of bread per day. From Monday to Friday, he bakes a total of 100 x 5 = <<100*5=500>>500 loaves of bread. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes 2 x 20 = <<2*20=40>>40 loaves of bread per day. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes a total of 40 x 2 = <<40*2=80>>80 loaves of bread. In a week, he bakes 500 + 80 = <<500+80=580>>580 loaves of bread. In 3 weeks, he bakes 580 x 3 = <<580*3=1740>>1740 loaves of bread. #### 1740 Every year 20 ducks from a flock are killed but another 30 are born. The original flock size is 100 ducks. After 5 years they join with another flock of 150 ducks. How many ducks are in the combined flock? The original flock gains 30-20=<<30-20=10>>10 ducks per year So after 5 years they have gained 10*5=<<10*5=50>>50 ducks So the original flock has 100+50=<<100+50=150>>150 ducks So the combined flock has 150+150=<<150+150=300>>300 ducks #### 300 Annie plants 3 pots of basil, 9 pots of rosemary, and 6 pots of thyme. Each basil plant has 4 leaves, each rosemary plant has 18 leaves, and each thyme plant has 30 leaves. How many leaves are there total? First find the total number of basil leaves: 3 pots * 4 leaves/pot = <<3*4=12>>12 leaves Then find the total number of rosemary leaves: 9 pots * 18 leaves/pot = <<9*18=162>>162 leaves Then find the total number of thyme leaves: 6 pots * 30 leaves/pot = <<6*30=180>>180 leaves Then add the number of each type of leaf to find the total number of leaves: 12 leaves + 162 leaves + 180 leaves = <<12+162+180=354>>354 leaves #### 354 Bob gets paid $5 an hour for the regular hours he works and $6 an hour for any overtime hours he works. All hours over 40 in a week are considered overtime. If Bob works 44 hours in the first week and 48 hours in the second week, how much did he make? Bob has worked 40 hours/week x 2 weeks = <<40*2=80>>80 regular hours Bob got paid 80 hours x $5/hour = $<<80*5=400>>400 for his regular hours Bob worked 44 hours - 40 hours = <<44-40=4>>4 hours of overtime in the first week Bob worked 48 hours - 40 hours = <<48-40=8>>8 hours of overtime in the second week In total Bob worker 8 hours + 4 hours =<<8+4=12>>12 hours of overtime. Bob got paid $6/hour x 12 hours = $<<6*12=72>>72 for overtime In 2 weeks Bob earned $400 + $72 = $<<400+72=472>>472 #### 472 Paul lives in a 5th story apartment. He makes 3 trips out from and back to his apartment throughout the day each day of a week. How many feet does he travel vertically in total over the week if each story is 10 feet tall? Since Paul makes 3 trips per day, and each trip involves going both down and up, this means he travels the full vertical distance of his apartment complex 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 times a day. Since there are 7 days in a week, this means he makes this trip 6*7=42 times a week. Since each story is 10 feet tall, that means with 5 stories he travels 5*10= <<5*10=50>>50 feet each trip. Since he made 42 trips of 50 feet each, this means he traveled 50*42= <<50*42=2100>>2100 feet in a week. #### 2100 On Monday a group of 7 children and 5 adults went to the zoo. On Tuesday a group of 4 children and 2 adults went as well. Child tickets cost $3, and adult tickets cost $4. How much money did the zoo make in total for both days? The total amount of children that went on both days is 7 + 4 = <<7+4=11>>11. The cost of the children's tickets is 11 × $3 = $<<11*3=33>>33. The total amount of adults that went on both days is 5 + 2 = <<5+2=7>>7. The cost of the adults' tickets is 7 × $4 = $<<7*4=28>>28. The zoo made $33 + $28 = $<<33+28=61>>61 in total. #### 61 Marj has two $20 bills, three $5 bills, and $4.50 in loose coins in her wallet. If she buys a cake that costs $17.50, how much money will be left in her wallet? Two $20 bills amount to $20 x 2 = $<<20*2=40>>40. Three $5 bills amount to $5 x 3 = $<<5*3=15>>15. So, Marj has $40 + $15 + $4.50 = $<<40+15+4.5=59.50>>59.50 in her wallet. If she buys a cake, she will be left with $59.50 - $17.50 = $<<59.5-17.5=42>>42. #### 42 Legacy has 5 bars of gold she received from her father. Her friend Aleena has 2 bars fewer than she has. If a bar of gold is worth $2200, calculate the total value of gold the three have together. If Legacy has 5 bars, Aleena has 5 bars - 2 bars = <<5-2=3>>3 bars. In total, they have 5 bars + 3 bars = <<5+3=8>>8 bars, Since one bar of gold is worth $2200, the 8 bars they have together are worth 8 bars * $2200/bar = $<<8*2200=17600>>17600 #### 17600
