Ivory got four more riddles than Josh did. Taso got twice as many riddles as Ivory did. If Josh has 8 riddles, how many riddles does Taso have?

Ivory has 8+4 =

<<8+4=12>>12 riddles Taso has 12*2 = <<12*2=24>>24 riddles #### 24 Quinn catches twice the amount of frogs as Alster who caught 2. Bret catches three times the amount of frogs as Quinn. How many frogs did Bret catch? Quinn catches twice the amount as Alster, who caught 2 frogs so Quinn caught 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 frogs Bret catches three times the amount as Quinn who caught 4 frogs so Bret caught 3*4 = <<3*4=12>>12 frogs #### 12 Gunner has a box of mittens with 20 fewer pairs than a box of plugs. He decides to put 30 more pairs of plugs into the box of plugs. If the box of mittens has 150 pairs of mittens, how many plugs are there? Since there are 20 fewer mittens pairs than the plugs, there are 150+20 = 170 pairs of plugs. When Gunner decides to add 30 more plugs pairs into the box of plugs, the number of plug pairs increases to 170+30 = <<170+30=200>>200 Since a pair has two, the 200 pairs of plugs total 200*2 = <<200*2=400>>400 plugs. #### 400 Anahi bought a 500 pages book to write some notes on. In the first week, she wrote on 150 pages. In the second week, she wrote on 30% of the remaining pages. While continuing writing, she accidentally spilled coffee on the book and damaged 20 percent of the empty pages she was to write on. Calculate the total number of empty pages available for her to write on now. If she bought a 500 pages book and wrote on 150 pages, the number of empty pages remaining is 500-150 = <<500-150=350>>350 pages. She then wrote on 30% of the remaining empty pages on the second week, a total of 30/100*350 = <<30/100*350=105>>105 pages The number of remaining empty pages is 350-105 = <<350-105=245>>245 pages. When she spilled coffee on the remaining empty pages, the number of damaged pages was 20/100*245 = <<20/100*245=49>>49 The number of empty pages remaining that she could write on is 245-49 = <<245-49=196>>196 pages #### 196 If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket and the basket has 15 apples, how many fruits would Emiliano have consumed if he eats 2/3 of each fruit's quantity in the basket? If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket, with the number of apples being 15, there are 15*4=<<15*4=60>>60 oranges in the basket. If Emiliano eats 2/3 of the oranges in the basket, he would have taken 2/3*60=<<2/3*60=40>>40 oranges from the basket. With the number of apples in the basket being 15, if Emiliano eats 2/3 of them, 2/3*15=<<15*2/3=10>>10 apples would have been eaten by Emiliano. The total number of fruits eaten by Emiliano will total 10+40=<<10+40=50>>50 #### 50 Du Chin bakes 200 meat pies in a day. He sells them for $20 each and uses 3/5 of the sales to buy ingredients to make meat pies for sale on the next day. How much money does Du Chin remain with after setting aside the money for buying ingredients? From the 200 meat pies, Du Chin makes 200*$20 = $<<200*20=4000>>4000 after the sales. The amount of money he uses to buy ingredients to make pies for sale on the next day is 3/5*$4000 = $<<3/5*4000=2400>>2400 After setting aside money for buying ingredients, Du Chin remains with $4000-$2400 = $<<4000-2400=1600>>1600 #### 1600 Larry jogs for 30 minutes each day. In the first week, he jogs for 3 days while he jogs for 5 days in the second week. How many hours does he jog in total for two weeks? Larry jogs for a total of 3 + 5 = <<3+5=8>>8 days. Thus, he jogs a total of 8 x 30 = <<8*30=240>>240 minutes. This is equal to 240/60 = <<240/60=4>>4 hours. #### 4 Natasha has 3 times as much money as Carla, and Carla has twice as much money as Cosima. If Natasha has $60, and the three decide to buy goods worth the total amount they have and sell the goods at 7/5 of the buying price, how much profit would they make? If Natasha has $60, which is 3 times as much money as Carla, Carla has $60/3=$<<60/3=20>>20 Together, Carla and Natasha have $20+$60=$<<20+60=80>>80 Carla has twice as much money as Cosima, meaning Cosima has $20/2=$10 Combined, the three have $10+$80=$<<10+80=90>>90 If they buy goods with the amount they have and sell at 7/5 of the buying price, the total amount of money they will get from selling the goods is 7/5*90=$<<7/5*90=126>>126 If they earn $126 from the sale of the goods they bought with the money they had, their profit is $126-$90=$<<126-90=36>>36 #### 36 Jason worked for 9 years as a bartender and 3 years and six months as a manager. How many months of work experience does he have total? First find how many months Jason worked as a bartender: 9 years * 12 months/year = <<9*12=108>>108 months Then find how many months Jason worked as a manager: 3 years * 12 months/year + 6 months = <<3*12+6=42>>42 months Then add those two amounts to find his total amount of work experience: 108 months + 42 months = <<108+42=150>>150 months #### 150 Denver uses 7 pieces of wood for each birdhouse and he pays $1.50 for each piece of wood. If he makes a $5.50 profit per birdhouse, how much will Denver charge to Danny for buying two birdhouses? The cost for making one birdhouse is $1.50 x 7 = $<<1.5*7=10.50>>10.50. So the selling price of one birdhouse is $10.50 + $5.50 = $<<10.5+5.5=16>>16. Thus, Denver will charge Danny $16 x 2 = $<<16*2=32>>32 for the two birdhouses. #### 32
