A baker sells pastries for $5 and works 7 days a week. On Monday he sold 2. Every day the number of sales increases by 1 compared to the previous day. On average, how many pastries does he sell on each day of the week?

You know from the statement that on Monday he sells 2 pastries, so on Tuesday he sells 3, Wednesday 4, Thursday 5, Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 pastries.

So the average value is (2+3+4+5+6+7+8) pastries/7 days

The baker sells, on average, 35/7=

<<35/7=5>>5 pastries/day for 1 week #### 5 Jessica is having a sweet tooth and bought 10 chocolate bars, 10 packs of gummy bears, and 20 bags of chocolate chips. Her total rang up to $150. If the cost of a pack of gummy bears is $2 and a bag of chocolate chips costs $5, how much does 1 chocolate bar cost? The gummy bears cost 10*2=$<<10*2=20>>20. The chocolate chips cost 5*20=$<<5*20=100>>100. The total cost for these two is 100+20=$<<100+20=120>>120. The chocolate bars in total cost 150-120=$<<150-120=30>>30. A single chocolate bar costs 30/10=$<<30/10=3>>3. #### 3 Jorge is 24 years younger than Simon. In 2005, Jorge is 16 years old. In 2010, how old would Simon be? In 2005, Simon was 16+24 = <<16+24=40>>40 years old. There are 2010-2005 = <<2010-2005=5>>5 years between 2005 and 2010. In 2010 Simon would be 40+5 = 45 years old. #### 45 Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase. But Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron. If it takes Danielle 30 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury, how long, in minutes, will it take Chase to travel from Granville to Salisbury? If Danielle drives at three times the speed of Cameron, it will take Cameron 30*3=<<30*3=90>>90 minutes for Cameron to travel the same distance. And since Cameron drives at twice the speed of his brother, Chase, it will take Chase 90*2=<<90*2=180>>180 minutes to travel from Granville to Salisbury. #### 180 Bruce recently had a birthday. His aunt sent him a card with $75 and his grandfather sent him a card that had $150 in it. He wants to go on a trip to Europe soon, so he decides to put one-fifth of the money he got for his birthday in the bank. How much money did he put in the bank?

If Baxter spent $105 on peanuts, how many pounds over the minimum did he purchase? Start by figuring the number of pounds Baxter bought. $105 / $3 per pound = <<105/3=35>>35 pounds of peanuts 35 pounds bought - 15 pounds minimum = <<35-15=20>>20 pounds over. #### 20 Chad bought 6 packages of cat food and 2 packages of dog food. Each package of cat food contained 9 cans, and each package of dog food contained 3 cans. How many more cans of cat food than dog food did Chad buy? Chad's cat food total was 6 packages * 9 cans = <<6*9=54>>54 cans of cat food. Chad's dog food total was 2 packages * 3 cans = <<2*3=6>>6 cans of dog food. Chad had 54 cans of cat food - 6 cans of dog food = <<54-6=48>>48 more cans of cat food. #### 48 Steph needs to cook fried chicken for the kid's party. She bought 24 pieces of drumstick and 4 fewer breast parts. How many fried chickens can Steph make? Steph bought 24 - 4 = <<24-4=20>>20 breast parts. Thus, she can make 24 + 20 = <<24+20=44>>44 fried chickens. #### 44 Marcus is making calzones. It takes him 20 minutes to saute the onions and a quarter of that time to saute the garlic and peppers. It takes him 30 minutes to knead the dough, twice as long to let it rest, and 1/10th the combined kneading and resting time to assemble the calzones. How many minutes does Marcus spend on the calzones total? First find the amount of time it takes Marcus to saute the garlic and peppers: 20 minutes / 4 = <<20/4=5>>5 minutes Then find the dough's resting time: 30 minutes * 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 minutes Then add the kneading and resting time to find the total dough time: 60 minutes + 30 minutes = <<60+30=90>>90 minutes Then multiply that amount by 1/10th to find the assembly time: 90 minutes / 10 = <<90/10=9>>9 minutes Then add the saute time, knead time, rest time and assembly time to find the total time Marcus spends on the calzones: 9 minutes + 20 minutes + 5 minutes + 60 minutes + 30 minutes = <<9+20+5+60+30=124>>124 minutes #### 124 Stan makes a playlist for the next time he goes running. He has 10 3-minute songs and 15 2-minute songs on his playlist. His entire run takes 100 minutes. If Stan wants a playlist to cover his entire run, how many more minutes of songs will he need in his playlist? His playlist currently has a playtime of 10 songs * 3 minutes = <<10*3=30>>30 minutes from 3-minute songs. It also has a playtime of 15 songs * 2 minutes = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes from 2-minute songs. So far, his playlist lasts for 30 + 30 = <<30+30=60>>60 minutes. He therefore still needs 100 minutes for his run – 60 minutes current playtime = <<100-60=40>>40 minutes. #### 40
