There are three dogs in the backyard. They like apples, blueberries, and bonnies. The first dog, which likes apples, eats 3 times as many apples as the number of blueberries eaten by the second dog that likes blueberries. The dog that likes blueberries eats 3/4 times as many blueberries as the number of bonnies eaten by the third dog. If the dog that likes bonnies ate 60 of them, calculate the total number of fruits eaten by the three dogs?

The dog that likes blueberries ate 3/4*60 =

<<3/4*60=45>>45 blueberries, 3/4 as many blueberries as the number of bonnies eaten by the third dog. The total number of fruits eaten by the dog that likes bonnies and the one that like blueberries is 45+60 = <<45+60=105>>105 The first dog that likes apples ate 3*45= <<3*45=135>>135 apples which are 3 times as many blueberries as the number eaten by the dog that likes blueberries. In total, the three dogs ate 105+135 = <<105+135=240>>240 fruits. #### 240 A convenience store sells 180 gallons of soda a week. They buy syrup boxes that can make 30 gallons of soda, and each box costs $40. How much do they pay for syrup a week? They need to buy 180/30=<<180/30=6>>6 boxes So the cost is 6*40=$<<6*40=240>>240 #### 240 Mrs. Gable’s third grade class is on a field trip to the beach. For lunch, Mrs. Gable brought 20 lunches for the 20 students in her class. She included a pack of animal crackers in each lunch bag for dessert. Each pack of animal crackers contained 10 animal crackers. If 2 students did not eat their animal crackers, how many animal crackers were eaten in total among Mrs. Gable’s students? Since 2 students did not eat their animal crackers, 20 - 2 = <<20-2=18>>18 students ate their animal crackers. The students ate a total of 18 * 10 =<<18*10=180>>180 animal crackers #### 180 Taegan goes to a carnival where she wins tickets from each of the 5 carnival games and also finds 5 tickets on the floor. Each ticket is worth $3. In total, she has tickets that total a value of $30. If Taegan won an equal number of tickets from each of the games, how many tickets did she win from each game? If tickets are valued at $3 then in total, Taegan has won $30 in total tickets / $3 per ticket = <<30/3=10>>10 tickets. Some of these tickets were found so only 10 total tickets – 5 found tickets = <<10-5=5>>5 tickets were won from carnival games. She therefore won 5 tickets / 5 carnival games = <<5/5=1>>1 ticket from each game. #### 1 Mark wants to tip his server 20% on a $200 check. If his friend agrees to kick in $10, how much should Mark add? First find the total tip amount: 20% * $200 = $<<20*.01*200=40>>40 Then subtract the friend's contribution: $40 - $10 = $<<40-10=30>>30 #### 30 A type C school bus contains 13 rows of seats, with an aisle running down the middle of the bus, splitting each row into two sections. If the school only allowed two students to sit in each section, how many students could be seated on the bus? 13 rows, with 2 sections per row would contain 13*2=<<13*2=26>>26 sections. If two students sat per section, there would be capacity for 26*2=<<26*2=52>>52 students. #### 52 Marta sells tomatoes in a grocery store. On Friday, a shipment of 1000 kg of tomatoes arrived at the store. On Saturday, Marta sold a total of 300 kg of tomatoes to customers. On Sunday, the store was closed, causing 200 kg of tomatoes to rot and to be thrown away. On Monday morning another shipment arrived, twice the size of the first one. How many kilograms of tomatoes did Marta have ready for sale on Tuesday? Marta had 1000 kg of tomatoes on Friday and sold 300 kg on Saturday, so she has 1000 – 300 = <<1000-300=700>>700 kg of tomatoes left. On Sunday 200 kg of tomatoes had to be thrown away, so 700 – 200 = <<700-200=500>>500 kg of tomatoes were left. The shipment on Monday was twice the size of the first one, so it was 2 * 1000 = <<2*1000=2000>>2000 kg of tomatoes. The total amount of tomatoes ready for sale on Tuesday was 500 + 2000 = <<500+2000=2500>>2500 kg. #### 2500 Cathy and Chris got summer jobs at the cake shop and were supposed to work 20 hours per week each for 2 months. During that time, Chris got sick for one week and Cathy took her shifts. If there are four weeks in a month, how many hours did Cathy work during the 2 months? There are 4 weeks in a month so Cathy and Chris were supposed to work for 4 weeks/month x 2 months = <<4*2=8>>8 weeks each. Since Chris got sick then Chris was only able to work for 8 weeks - 1 week = 7 weeks while Cathy worked for 8 weeks + 1 week = 9 weeks. Therefore, Cathy worked for 9 weeks x 20 hours/week = <<9*20=180>>180 hours. #### 180 Annie has $120. The restaurant next door sells hamburgers for $4 each. The restaurant across the street sells milkshakes for $3 each. Annie buys 8 hamburgers and 6 milkshakes. How much money, in dollars, does she have left? Annie spends 4*8=<<4*8=32>>32 dollars on hamburgers. Annie spends 3*6=<<3*6=18>>18 dollars on milkshakes. Annie spends 32+18=<<32+18=50>>50 dollars on hamburgers and milkshakes. Annie has 120-50=<<120-50=70>>70 dollars left. #### 70 Lou Senior took 3 cookies out of the cookie jar and ate them. Since he didn't get caught by his wife, he went back the next day and took another 3 cookies out of the jar. But after eating just one of the cookies, he felt guilty about it and put the other two cookies back. His son, Louie Junior saw that his Dad was eating cookies. So, Louie Junior took seven cookies out of the jar and hid them in his bedroom for later. The next morning, Debra, Lou's wife looked into the cookie jar and reacted by accusing her husband of eating half of the cookies out of the cookie jar. How many cookies remained in the jar? Lou Sr 3 cookies from the jar, then another three, but then put two back, for a total of 3+3-2=<<3+3-2=4>>4 cookies removed. Louie Jr took seven more out of the jar, for a total of 4+7=<<4+7=11>>11 cookies removed. If Debra thought half were gone, then the number of missing cookies would equal the number of cookies that remain, or 11 missing=11 remaining cookies #### 11
