Alexander Bought 22 more joggers than Tyson. Christopher bought twenty times as many joggers as Tyson. If Christopher bought 80 joggers, how many more joggers does Christopher buy than Alexander?

Tyson bought 80/20=

<<80/20=4>>4 joggers. Alexander bought 4+22=<<4+22=26>>26 joggers. Christopher bought 80-26=54 more joggers than Alexander. #### 54 A class is completing an art project. Each of the 30 students is assigned to a separate group and will need to take markers from the 22 boxes of markers. The first group has 10 students who will have 2 markers each and the second group has 15 students who will have 4 markers each. The last group takes the remaining markers and divides them equally. If each box of markers contains 5 markers, how many markers does each of the students in the last group receive? The first group uses a total of 10 students * 2 markers = <<10*2=20>>20 markers. The second group uses a total of 15 students * 4 markers = <<15*4=60>>60 markers. This is a total of 20 + 60 = <<20+60=80>>80 markers. The total number of markers in the boxes is 5 markers * 22 boxes = <<5*22=110>>110 markers. This leaves 110 – 80 = <<110-80=30>>30 markers for the last group to split between themselves. The last group is made up of 30 total students – 10 students in the first group – 15 students in the second group = <<30-10-15=5>>5 students. Therefore, students in the last group receive 30 markers / 5 students = <<30/5=6>>6 markers each. #### 6 Lola plays basketball on her school team. Her team scored twice at many points at their last home game than their first away game. At the second away game, they scored eighteen points more than the previous away game. At the third away game, they scored two more points than at their second. If Lola’s team scored 62 points at their last home game, how many points do they have to score in their next game to bring their cumulative points up to four times the score from their last home game? At their following away game, Lola’s team scored half as many points as at their home game, so they scored 62 / 2 = <<62/2=31>>31 points. At the second away game, they scored 31 + 18 = <<31+18=49>>49 points. At the third away game, they scored 49 + 2 = <<49+2=51>>51 points. A cumulative score of four times their last home game is 4 * 62 = <<4*62=248>>248 points. Thus, Lola’s team has to score 248 - 193 = <<248-193=55>>55 points to bring their cumulative points up to 248. #### 55 Moses and Tiffany want to see who is faster. But instead of a race, they just start running down the block. Tiffany runs 6 blocks in 3 minutes. Moses runs 12 blocks in 8 minutes. What is the speed (defined as blocks per minute) of the runner with the higher average speed? Tiffany runs 2 blocks per minute because 6 / 3 = <<6/3=2>>2 Moses runs 1.5 blocks per minute because 12 / 8 = <<12/8=1.5>>1.5 The runner with the highest average speed is Tiffany because 2 > 1.5 #### 2 Sara makes cakes during the five weekdays to sell on weekends. She makes 4 cakes a day and sells her cakes for $8. In 4 weeks she managed to sell all the cakes. How much money did she collect during that time? During the week she makes 5 days/week * 4 cakes/day = <<5*4=20>>20 cakes. After selling them over the weekend she earns 20 cakes * $8/cake = $<<20*8=160>>160. In 4 weeks she raised $160/week * 4 weeks = $<<4*160=640>>640. #### 640 Three snails raced across a rain-soaked sidewalk. The first snail raced at a speed of 2 feet per minute. The second snail raced at twice the speed of the first snail. And the third snail traveled at five times the rate of speed as the second snail. If it took the first snail 20 minutes to race all the way up the sidewalk, how long, in minutes, did it take for the third snail to race all the way up the sidewalk? If the first snail traveled the distance in 20 minutes, then the second snail, traveling at twice the rate of speed, would take 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 minutes to complete the race. If the third snail raced at five times the speed of the second snail, then it would take the third snail 10/5=<<10/5=2>>2 minutes to race all the way up the sidewalk. #### 2 On Thursday the Meat Market sold 210kg of ground beef. On Friday they sold twice that amount. On Saturday they only sold 130kg. On Sunday they sold half of what they sold Saturday. If they originally planned to sell only 500kg, how much meat did they sell beyond their original plans? On Friday they sold 210 × 2 = <<210*2=420>>420kg. On Sunday they sold 130 ÷ 2 = <<130/2=65>>65kg. They sold a total of 210 + 420 + 130 + 65 = <<210+420+130+65=825>>825kg of meat. Meat Market sold an extra 825 - 500 = <<825-500=325>>325kg of meat beyond their original 500kg plans. #### 325 Marissa has 4.5 feet of ribbon that she wants to use to tie some boxes. If 1 foot of ribbon is left after Marissa uses 0.7 feet of ribbon to tie each box, find out how many boxes she tied? Marissa used a total of 4.5 - 1 = <<4.5-1=3.5>>3.5 feet of ribbon to the boxes. Thus, there were 3.5/0.7 = <<3.5/0.7=5>>5 boxes. #### 5 During a fundraiser, each of the 20 members of a group sold candy bars which costs $0.50 each. If each member sold an average of 8 candy bars, how much money did they earn from their candy bars sales, in dollars? The group was able to sell 20 x 8 = <<20*8=160>>160 candy bars. So, they got 160 x $0.5 = $<<160*0.5=80>>80 from their candy bars sales. #### 80 Bruce can make 15 batches of pizza dough using a sack of flour. If he uses 5 sacks of flour per day, how many pizza doughs can he make in a week? He can make 15 x 5 = <<15*5=75>>75 batches of pizza dough per day. Therefore, Bruce can make 75 x 7 days in a week = <<75*7=525>>525 batches of pizza dough in a week. #### 525
