A watermelon stand sold 46 watermelons. Seventeen customers bought one melon, three customers bought three melons, and the rest bought two melons. How many customers bought two watermelons?

The customers that bought one watermelon bought 1 * 17 =

<<1*17=17>>17 melons. The customers that bought three melons bought 3 * 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 melons. The stand sold 46 - 17 - 9 = <<46-17-9=20>>20 melons to customers who bought 2 melons. Thus, 20 / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 customers bought two watermelons. #### 10 Rita is reading a five-chapter book with 95 pages. Each chapter has three pages more than the previous one. How many pages does the first chapter have? Let P be the number of pages in the first chapter. The second chapter has P + 3 pages. The third chapter has P + 3 + 3 = P + <<+3+3=6>>6 pages. The fourth chapter has P + 6 + 3 = P + <<+6+3=9>>9 pages. The fifth chapter has P + 9 + 3 = P + <<+9+3=12>>12 pages. The whole book has P + 3 + P + 6 + P + 9 + P + 12 = 5P + 30 = 95 pages. Thus, without the 30 extra pages from additional chapters, 5P = 95 - 30 = 65 pages. Therefore, the first chapter had P = 65 / 5 = <<65/5=13>>13 pages. #### 13 Tina is a professional boxer. She wins her first 10 fights of her career. She then goes on to win 5 more before losing her first fight, and then doubles her number of wins before losing again. She then retires. How many more wins than losses does she have at the end of her career? Tina wins her first 10, and then wins 5 more for 10+5 = 15 wins before losing 1. She then doubles her number of wins for a total of 15*2=30 wins, before losing 1 more for 1+1=2 losses. For her career she has 30-2=<<30-2=28>>28 more wins than losses. #### 28 Shonda is throwing an Easter egg hunt for her 2 kids and their 10 friends. She is also supplying enough eggs for herself and the 7 other adults there to find eggs as well. If there are 15 Easter egg baskets for everyone to share and each ends up holding 12 Easter eggs, when they equally distribute all of the Easter eggs to everyone, how many eggs does each person get? There are 15 Easter egg baskets with 12 Easter eggs in them, 15 x 12 = <<15*12=180>>180 Easter eggs. There are 7 adults + Shonda (1) + 2 of Shonda's kids + 10 of their friends = <<7+1+2+10=20>>20 people at the Easter egg hunt. There are 180 Easter eggs for 20 people, 180 / 20 = <<180/20=9>>9 Easter eggs each for everyone. #### 9 Aliya and her classmates are sent by their teacher to the field to collect insects for science class study. The Boys collected 200 insects and the girls collected 300 insects. The teacher decided to divide the class equally into four groups that each get an equal number of insects so that each group could study together. What was the number of insects given to each group? The total number of insects collected is 200 insects + 300 insects = <<200+300=500>>500 insects. When the teacher divided the class into four groups, each group got 500 insects / 4 groups = <<500/4=125>>125 insects/group #### 125 Out of the 150 students, 60% are girls and the rest are boys. Only 1/3 of the boys joined varsity clubs. How many of the boys did not join varsity clubs? Out of the 150 students, 100% - 60% = 40% are boys. So, there are 150 x 40/100 = <<150*40/100=60>>60 boys. Out of the 60 boys, 60 x 1/3 = <<60*1/3=20>>20 joined varsity clubs. Therefore, 60 - 20 = <<60-20=40>>40 boys did not join varsity clubs. #### 40 John used to go to the gym multiple times a weak but because of lockdowns he hasn't been able to go. He used to lift 700 for squat, 400 for bench, and 800 for deadlift. For squat he lost 30% of his lift. He didn't lose any weight on bench because he was able to train that at home and he lost 200 pounds on deadlift. What is his new total? He lost 700*.3=<<700*.3=210>>210 pounds on squat So his squat is now 700-210=<<700-210=490>>490 pounds His deadlift is 800-200=<<800-200=600>>600 pounds So his total is now 490+600+400=<<490+600+400=1490>>1490 pounds #### 1490 Kyle goes to basketball practice every day for 2 hours. At practice he spends half of the time shooting and the rest of the time running and weight lifting. If he runs for twice the time he spends weightlifting, how much time in minutes does he spend lifting weight? Half of the 2-hour practice is for running and weightlifting, so the time for running and weight lifting is 1/2 * 2 hours = <<2*1/2=1>>1 hour. If the time he lifts weights is x, then the time he runs is 2x. So the time for running and weight lifting is x + 2x = 3x = 1 hour Thus 3x = 60 minutes Thus x = 60/3 = <<60/3=20>>20 minutes spent weight lifting. #### 20 Krista started raising chickens. She has 10 hens who lay eggs. She sells the eggs for $3 a dozen. In four weeks, she sold $120 worth of eggs. If she sold all the eggs her hens laid, how many eggs does each hen lay a week? At $3 a dozen, Krista sold $120 / $3 = <<120/3=40>>40 dozen eggs. If 10 hens laid 40 dozen eggs in 4 weeks, that means 40 dozen eggs / 10 hens = <<40/10=4>>4 dozen eggs were laid by each hen in four weeks. To find out how many eggs each hen laid in a week, 4 dozen eggs / 4 weeks = <<4/4=1>>1 dozen eggs each week. Since a dozen has 12 eggs, each hen lays 12*1 = <<12*1=12>>12 eggs each week. #### 12 On a quiz, Nicole answered 3 fewer questions correctly than Kim, and Kim answered 8 more questions correctly than Cherry. If Nicole answered 22 correctly, how many did Cherry answer correctly? Kim answered 22+3=<<22+3=25>>25 questions correctly. Cherry answered 25-8=<<25-8=17>>17 questions correctly. #### 17
