Mrs. Lopez and her family are going to the movie theatre. Adult tickets are $11. Children’s tickets (ages 3-12) are $8. Senior citizen’s tickets (ages 60+) are $9. Mrs. Lopez needs to buy movie tickets for her husband, herself, her parents (ages 72 and 75), and her three children (ages 7, 10, 14). How much money does she need to buy everyone’s tickets?

Mrs. Lopez needs to buy two adult tickets for $11 x 2 = $

<<11*2=22>>22. She needs to buy two senior citizen tickets for $9 x 2 = $<<9*2=18>>18. She needs to buy three children’s tickets for $8 x 3 = $<<8*3=24>>24. For everyone’s tickets, Mrs. Lopez needs to spend $22 + $18 + $24 = $<<22+18+24=64>>64 for seven tickets. #### 64 John decides to get a new apartment with a roommate. His former rent was $2 per square foot for a 750 square foot apartment. His new apartment cost $2800 per month, which he splits evenly with the roommate. How much money does he save a year? His old apartment cost 750*$2=$<<750*2=1500>>1500 a month His new apartment cost $2800/2=$<<2800/2=1400>>1400 a month So he saves $1500-$1400=$<<1500-1400=100>>100 a month That means he saves $100*12=$<<100*12=1200>>1200 a year #### 1200 There were students from three different schools taking part in a debate organized by the town's mayor on a stage. The first school had twice as many students as the second school, and the second school had 40 more students than the third school. If the third school had 200 students, and after the debate was over, every student shook the mayor's hand, calculate the total number of students who shook the mayor's hand on the stage. If the third school had 200 students, and the second school had 40 more students than the third school, the second school had 200+40 = <<200+40=240>>240 students. The third and second schools had 240+200 = <<240+200=440>>440 students on stage taking part in the debate. Since the first school had twice as many students as the second school, and the second school had 240 students, the first school had 240*2= <<240*2=480>>480 students on stage taking part in the debate. If after the debate was over, every student at the stage shook the mayor's hand, the number of students who shook the mayor's hand is 480+440 = <<480+440=920>>920 students #### 920 Jordan picked 54 mangoes from his tree. One-third of the mangoes were ripe while the other two-thirds were not yet ripe. Jordan kept 16 unripe mangoes and gave the remainder to his sister who pickled them in glass jars. If it takes 4 mangoes to fill a jar, how many jars of pickled mangoes can Jordan's sister make? Jordan picked 54/3 = <<54/3=18>>18 ripe mangoes. He picked 54 - 18 = <<54-18=36>>36 unripe mangoes. Jordan gave 36 - 16 = <<36-16=20>>20 unripe mangoes to his sister. Jordan's sister can make 20/4 = <<20/4=5>>5 jars of pickled mangoes. #### 5 Jill sells girl scout cookies. This year, she wants to sell at least 150 cookie boxes. Her first customer buys 5 boxes, Her second one buys 4 times more than her first customer. Her third customer buys half as much as her second. The fourth customer buys 3 times as much as her third. Lastly, her final customer buys 10. How many boxes so Jill have left to sell to hit her sales goal? Jill's second customer buys 4 times more than her first customer's 5 boxes, so they buy 4*5=<<4*5=20>>20 boxes Jill's third customer buys half of what her second customer bought, so that means they buy 20/2= <<20/2=10>>10 boxes Jill's fourth customer buys 3 times as many as what her third customer bought, so that means they buy 10*3= <<3*10=30>>30 boxes Adding in the 5 boxes sold to the first customer, and the 10 boxes sold to the last one, that means Jill has sold 5+10+20+10+30= <<5+10+20+10+30=75>>75 boxes Since Jill's goal is 150 boxes sold, and she's only sold 75 so far, she needs to sell 150-75=<<150-75=75>>75 more boxes to hit her goal #### 75 Susie has 572 beans in the jar. One-fourth of them are red and one-third of the remaining beans are white. Then half of the remaining are green beans. How many green beans are there? Susie has 572 x 1/4 = <<572*1/4=143>>143 red beans. There were 572 - 143 = <<572-143=429>>429 beans that are not red. There are 429 x 1/3 = <<429*1/3=143>>143 white beans. So, there were 429 - 143 = <<429-143=286>>286 beans left. Therefore, 286/2 = <<286/2=143>>143 beans are green. #### 143 An airplane was flying from California to Virginia. The flight started with 124 passengers. They made a layover in Texas. 58 passengers got off and 24 got on. From there, they flew to North Carolina, where 47 people got off and 14 got on, before flying to Virginia. There were also a total of 10 crew members on board for the entire flight. How many people landed in Virginia? They started with 124 passengers. 58 got off and 24 got on so 124-58+24 = <<124-58+24=90>>90 90 people flew to NC where 47 passengers got off and 14 got on. This flight now had 90-47+14 = <<90-47+14=57>>57 There were also 10 crew members so 57+10 = 67 passengers landed in Virginia #### 67 Mark hires a singer for 3 hours at $15 an hour. He then tips the singer 20%. How much did he pay? The cost was 15*3=$<<15*3=45>>45 So the tip was 45*.2=$<<45*.2=9>>9 So in total, he paid 45+9=$<<45+9=54>>54 #### 54 Jason is trying to figure out whether he can afford a new car. The car he wants costs $32,000, and he can make a down payment of $8,000. He'll have to get a loan for the rest of the amount and make 48 equal monthly payments on it. Each month, he also has to pay interest equal to 5% of that month's payment. How much will Jason's monthly payments be? First figure out how much the loan will be: $32,000 - $8,000 = $<<32000-8000=24000>>24,000 Then divide the loan amount by the number of payments to find the monthly payment before interest: $24,000 / 48 months = $<<24000/48=500>>500/month Then multiply the loan amount by 5% to find out how much the interest is: $500/month * .05 = $<<500*.05=25>>25/month Then add the interest to the payment amount to find the total monthly payment: $500/month + $25/month = $<<500+25=525>>525/month #### 525 Nick has 60 cans. Each can takes up 30 square inches of space before being compacted and 20% of that amount after being compacted. How much space do all the cans take up after being compacted? First find the total amount of space the cans take up before being compacted: 60 cans * 30 sq in / can = <<60*30=1800>>1800 sq in Then multiply that amount by the percentage of space they take up after being compacted: 1800 sq in * 20% = <<1800*20*.01=360>>360 sq in #### 360
