Mica went to the grocery store and bought 2 kilograms of pasta that costs $1.5; 1/4 kilogram of ground beef costs $8 for 1 kilogram; two jars of pasta sauce costs $2 per jar. Mica also wants to buy a $6 Quesadilla for snacks. How much money should she have with her to buy all those?

Two kilograms of pasta cost $1.5 x 2 = $

<<1.5*2=3>>3. One-fourth kilogram of ground beef cost $8 x 1/4 = $<<8*1/4=2>>2. Two jars of pasta sauce cost $2 x 2 = $<<2*2=4>>4. The total cost for the pasta, beef, and sauce is $3 + $2 + $4 = $<<3+2+4=9>>9. Since Mica also wants to buy Quesadilla, she should have $9 + $6 = $<<9+6=15>>15. #### 15 Brandon sold some geckos to a local pet shop. Brandon sold the geckos for 100$. The pet store sells them for 5 more than 3 times that. How much does the pet store profit? The pet store sells the geckos for 5+3(100)=305$ Pet store profit: 305-100=<<305-100=205>>205$ #### 205 Gary has 6 pounds of flour. He will use 4 pounds of flour to make cakes which require 0.5 pounds of flour each. The remaining 2 pounds of flour will be used to bake cupcakes, which require 1/5 pounds of flour. He plans to sell the cakes for $2.5 each and the cupcakes for $1 each in the school's bake sale. How much will Gary earn? Gary can bake 4/0.5 = <<4/0.5=8>>8 cakes from the 4 pounds of flour. He can bake 2/ 1/5 = 10 cupcakes from the 2 pounds of flour. So, he will earn $2.5 x 8 = $<<2.5*8=20>>20 from the cakes. Hence, Gary will earn a total of $20 + $10 = $<<30=30>>30 from baking 8 cakes and 10 cupcakes. #### 30 Hannah is trying to figure out how much she'll get paid this week. She makes $30/hour and works 18 hours per week. Her pay is docked $5 each time she's late. If she was late 3 times this week, how much does she get paid? Hannah's total earnings are 18 hours * $30/hour = $<<18*30=540>>540 a week. Her pay was docked because she was late 3 times, so 3 times * $5 per time = $<<3*5=15>>15 were docked. She gets paid $540 - $15 = $<<540-15=525>>525 at the end of the week. #### 525 Josie's mom gave her a $20 bill and asked her to go to the store for a few items. The list included a carton of milk for $4.00, a loaf of bread for $3.50, a box of laundry detergent for $10.25 and 2 pounds of bananas that were $0.75 per pound. Her mom also gave her a coupon for $1.25 off of the laundry detergent. At checkout, the clerk told her the milk was 1/2 off today. How much money did Josie have left over after she bought all of the groceries? The milk cost $4.00 but was on sale for 1/2 off so 4*.50 = $<<4*.50=2.00>>2.00 She bought 2 pounds of bananas at $0.75 per pound so 2 *.75 = $<<2*0.75=1.50>>1.50 She had a $1.25 coupon off of laundry detergent so 10.25 - 1.25 = $<<10.25-1.25=9.00>>9.00 When you add all of her purchases together then 2 + 1.50 +3.50 + 9.00 = $<<2+1.50+3.50+9=16.00>>16.00 She paid with a $20 bill so 20-16 = $<<20-16=4>>4 left over #### 4 At the burger hut, you can buy a burger for $5, french fries for $3, and a soft drink for $3. If you order a special burger meal, you get all 3 of these food items for $9.50. A kid’s burger is $3, a kid’s french fries are $2, and a kid's juice box is $2. They also have a kids meal of all 3 kids' food items for $5. Mr. Parker buys 2 burger meals for his wife and himself. He also buys 2 burger meals and 2 kid's meals for his 4 children. How much money does Mr. Parker save by buying the 6 meals versus buying the individual food items? To buy regular food items individually, they cost $5 + $3 + $3 = $<<5+3+3=11>>11. To buy kids food items individually, they cost $3 + $2 + $2 = $<<3+2+2=7>>7. If you buy the special burger meal, you save $11 - $9.50 = $<<11-9.5=1.50>>1.50. If you buy the kid's meal, you save $7 - $5 = $<<7-5=2>>2. Mr. Parker buys 4 special burger meals, bringing his discount to 4 x $1.50 = $<<4*1.50=6>>6. He buys 2 kid's meals, bringing his discount to 2 x $2 = $<<2*2=4>>4. The total savings for Mr. Parker is $6 + $4 = $<<6+4=10>>10. #### 10 A competition has racers competing on bicycles and tricycles to win a grand prize of $4000. If there are 40 people in the race, and 3/5 of them are riding on bicycles, how many wheels do the bicycles and tricycles in the race have combined? If 3/5 of the people in the race are riding bicycles, their number is 3/5 * 40 people = <<3/5*40=24>>24 people Since a bicycle has 2 wheels, and 24 people were riding on a bicycle each, the total number of bicycle wheels in the race is 2 wheels/bike * 24 bikes = <<2*24=48>>48 wheels The number of racers on tricycles is 40 people - 24 people = <<40-24=16>>16 people Since a tricycle has 3 wheels, and 16 people were riding on a tricycle each, the total number of tricycle wheels in the race is 3 wheels/trike * 16 trikes = <<3*16=48>>48 wheels The combined total for bicycle and tricycle wheels in the race is 48 wheels + 48 wheels = <<48+48=96>>96 wheels #### 96 Chandler can eat a total of 23 apples and Lucy can eat a total of 19 apples per week. If the farmer only delivers 1 time per month, how many apples do they have to order for a month? Chandler and Lucy can eat 23 + 19 = <<23+19=42>>42 apples per week. Therefore, they have to order 42 x 4 = <<42*4=168>>168 apples for a month. #### 168 Barney washes his kitchen towels once a week. He owns eighteen towels and uses two at a time that he changes to clean towels daily. He missed one week of laundry. How many days the following week will Barney not have clean towels? Barney uses 2 clean towels every day, so he uses 2 * 7 = <<2*7=14>>14 towels a week. He missed one week of laundry, so he would need 2 * 14 = <<2*14=28>>28 towels for 2 weeks. He owns 18 towels, so he has 28 - 18 = <<28-18=10>>10 less than he needs. Thus, Barney will not have clean towels on 10 / 2 = <<10/2=5>>5 days. #### 5 An apple tree can fill 20 baskets. Each basket can be filled with 15 apples. How many apples can you get from 10 trees? You can get 20 x 15 = <<20*15=300>>300 apples per tree. So a total of 300 x 10 = <<300*10=3000>>3000 apples can be gotten from 10 trees. #### 3000
