Aaron and his brother Carson each saved up $40 to go to dinner. The bill is 3/4 of their total money. After, they go out for ice cream. Each scoop costs $1.5 and they get the same amount as each other. If they leave with $1 in change each, how many scoops did they each buy?

They had $80 saved up because 2 x 40 =

<<2*40=80>>80 They spent $60 because 80 x (3/4) = <<80*(3/4)=60>>60 They had $20 left for ice cream because 80 - 60 = <<80-60=20>>20 They had $2 left after leaving the ice cream shop because 2 x 1 = <<2*1=2>>2 They spent $18 on ice cream because 20 - 2 = <<20-2=18>>18 The bought 12 scoops of ice cream because 18 / 1.5 = <<18/1.5=12>>12 The each bought 6 scoops because 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 #### 6 In San Diego Zoo, the lion consumes 25 kilograms of meat, and the tiger consumes 20 kilograms of meat per day. If they have 90 kilograms of meat, how many days will the meats last? The lion and tiger's daily consumption of meat is 25 + 20 = <<25+20=45>>45 kilograms. Therefore, their supply of meat will last for 90/45= <<90/45=2>>2 days. #### 2 After complaints from the residents of Tatoosh about the number of cats on the island, the wildlife service carried out a relocation mission that saw the number of cats on the island drastically reduced. On the first relocation mission, 600 cats were relocated from the island to a neighboring island. On the second mission, half of the remaining cats were relocated to a rescue center inland. If the number of cats originally on the island was 1800, how many cats remained on the island after the rescue mission? After the first mission, the number of cats remaining on the island was 1800-600 = <<1800-600=1200>>1200. If half of the remaining cats on the island were relocated to a rescue center inland, the number of cats taken by the wildlife service on the second mission is 1200/2 = <<1200/2=600>>600 cats. The number of cats remaining on the island is 1200-600 = <<1200-600=600>>600 #### 600 John buys thank you cards. He decides to buy them for people who got him Christmas and birthday presents. He sent 20 for Christmas gifts and 15 for birthday gifts. If each card cost $2 how much did he spend on cards? He bought 20+15=<<20+15=35>>35 cards So he spent 35*2=$<<35*2=70>>70 #### 70 Lisa walks 10 meters each minute. Every day, she walks for an hour. How many meters will Lisa walk in two days? Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then Lisa walks for 1 x 60 = <<60=60>>60 minutes every day. For 60 minutes, Lisa walks 60 x 10 = <<60*10=600>>600 meters. Thus, she walks for 600 x 2 = <<600*2=1200>>1200 meters in two days. #### 1200 Wyatt's mother gave him $74 to go to the store. Wyatt bought 5 loaves of bread and 4 cartons of orange juice. Each loaf of bread cost $5 and each carton of orange juice cost $2. How much money does Wyatt have left? The loaves of bread cost 5 * $5 = $<<5*5=25>>25. The orange juice cost 4 * $2 = $<<4*2=8>>8. Wyatt’s total cost is $25 + $8 = $<<25+8=33>>33. Wyatt is left with the initial $74 - $33 = $<<74-33=41>>41. #### 41 UF got into the national championship.

In the championship game, however, their opponent was much stronger than any other team they had previously gone against and they scored 2 points less than half as much as they had previously scored in each of the 24 games. Their opponent only lost by 2 points. How many points did their opponent score? They scored an average of 720/24=<<720/24=30>>30 points in their previous games Half that many would be 30/2=<<30/2=15>>15 points So in the finals, they scored 15-2=<<15-2=13>>13 points Their opponent thus scored 13-2=<<13-2=11>>11 points #### 11 George is about to celebrate his 25th birthday.

He spent 20% of his special bills. How much will he receive from his parents when he exchanges them? He received 10 special bills because 25 - 15 = <<25-15=10>>10 He has 80% of them left because 100 - 20 = <<100-20=80>>80 He has 8 left because 10 x .8 = <<10*.8=8>>8 His parents will give her $12 for them because 8 x 1.5 = <<8*1.5=12>>12 #### 12 Big Joe is the tallest player on the basketball team. He is one foot taller than Ben, who is one foot taller than Larry, who is one foot taller than Frank, who is half a foot taller than Pepe. If Pepe is 4 feet six inches tall, how tall is Big Joe, in feet? Four feet six inches is the same as 4.5 feet tall. If Frank is 0.5 feet taller than Pepe, then he is 4.5+0.5=<<0.5+4.5=5>>5 feet tall. If Larry is one foot taller than Frank, then he is 5+1=6 feet tall. If Ben is one foot taller than Larry, then he is 6+1=<<6+1=7>>7 feet tall. If Big Joe is one foot taller than Ben, then he is 7+1=<<7+1=8>>8 feet tall. #### 8 In a week, Rayman works out for half the number of hours Junior takes to work out. Wolverine, their friend, works out for twice the combined total number of hours both Rayman and Junior take during their workouts. Calculate the number of hours Wolverine takes doing her workouts if Rayman does workouts for 10 hours in a week. If Rayman takes 10 hours doing his workouts, half the number of hours junior takes, then Junior takes 2*10 = <<10*2=20>>20 hours to do his workouts in a week. Altogether, Junior and Rayman take 20+10 = <<20+10=30>>30 hours doing their workouts in a week. Wolverine takes 2*30 = <<2*30=60>>60 hours to do her workouts in a week, twice the total number of hours Rayman and Junior takes. #### 60
