She buys a $4.00 latte in the morning for 5 days so that’s 4*5 = $

<<4*5=20.00>>20.00 She buys a $2.00 iced coffee 3 days a week so that’s 2*3 = $<<2*3=6.00>>6.00 In one week she spends $20.00 on lattes and $6.00 on iced coffee for a total of 20+6 = $<<20+6=26.00>>26.00 After 1 year, 52 weeks, she spends 52*26 = $<<52*26=1352.00>>1,352.00 She wants to cut her coffee spending by 25% so that will save her .25*1352 = $<<.25*1352=338.00>>338.00 #### 338 Benny is baking pies for a bake sale. He plans to make ten pumpkin pies, which cost $3 each to make, and twelve cherry pies, which cost $5 each to make. If he wants to make a profit of $20 selling all the pies, how much does he have to charge for each pie if both kinds sell at the same price? Benny will spend 3 * 10 = $<<3*10=30>>30 to make the pumpkin pies. He will spend 5 * 12 = $<<5*12=60>>60 to make the cherry pies. He wants to make a profit of $20, so he has to earn 30 + 60 + 20 = $<<30+60+20=110>>110 selling all the pies. He is making 22 pies, so he needs to charge 110 / 22 = $<<110/22=5>>5 per pie. #### 5 Cynthia wants floor-to-ceiling curtains made with an additional 5" of material so it will pool at the bottom. If her room is 8 feet tall, how long will the curtains need to be? There are 12 inches in 1 foot and her room height is 8 feet so that's 12*8 = <<12*8=96>>96 inches tall She wants an additional 5 inches of material added so the 96 inch long curtains will pool so she needs 5+96 = <<5+96=101>>101 inch long curtains #### 101 Andy gets a cavity for every 4 candy canes he eats. He gets 2 candy canes from his parents and 3 candy canes each from 4 teachers. Then he uses his allowance to buy 1/7 as many candy canes as he was given. How many cavities does he get from eating all his candy canes? First find how many candy canes Andy gets from his teachers: 3 canes/teacher * 4 teachers = <<3*4=12>>12 canes Then add the number of candy canes he gets from his parents: 12 canes + 2 canes = <<12+2=14>>14 canes Then divide that number by 7 to find the number of canes he buys: 14 canes / 7 = <<14/7=2>>2 canes Then add the number of candy canes he gets from each source to find the total number: 2 canes + 14 canes = <<2+14=16>>16 canes Then divide the total number of candy canes by the number of candy canes it takes to get one cavity to find the number of cavities Andy gets: 16 canes / 4 canes/cavity = <<16/4=4>>4 cavities #### 16 Sammy has 8 gifts to wrap. Each gift requires 1.5 meters of ribbon. Unfortunately, she has no available ribbon so Tom let her use his 15-meter long ribbon. How many meters of ribbon will be left from Tom's ribbon? The eight gifts require 1.5 meters/gift x 8 gifts = <<1.5*8=12>>12 meters of ribbon. So, Tom will be left with 15 meters - 12 meters = <<15-12=3>>3 meters of ribbon. #### 3 Carla's brush is 12 inches long. If Carmen's brush is 50% longer than Carla's brush, how long is Carmen's brush in centimeters? (There are 2.5 centimeters per inch.) First find the length of Carmen's brush in inches: 150% * 12 inches = <<150*.01*12=18>>18 inches Then convert the length from inches to centimeters: 18 inches * 2.5 centimeters/inch = <<18*2.5=45>>45 centimeters #### 45 Miranda is stuffing feather pillows. She needs two pounds of feathers for each pillow. A pound of goose feathers is approximately 300 feathers. Her goose has approximately 3600 feathers. How many pillows can she stuff after she plucks the goose? Miranda will have 3600 / 300 = <<3600/300=12>>12 pounds of feathers from her goose. Thus, Miranda can stuff about 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 feather pillows after she plucks the goose. #### 6 Caleb is baking a birthday cake for his grandfather. His grandfather is turning 79 years old. Caleb puts three colors of candles on the cake. He puts one candle for each year for his grandfather. He puts 27 yellow candles, 14 red candles and the rest are blue candles. How many blue candles did he use? Caleb has put 27 + 14 = <<27+14=41>>41 yellow and red candles. So, he used 79 - 41 = <<79-41=38>>38 blue candles. #### 38 Romeo buys five bars of chocolate at $5 each and sells these chocolates for a total of $90. If he uses packaging material that costs him $2 for each bar of chocolate, how much profit does he make for all the chocolates he sells?
