Beth bakes 4, 2 dozen batches of cookies in a week. If these cookies are shared amongst 16 people equally, how many cookies does each person consume?

Beth bakes 4 2 dozen batches of cookies for a total of 4*2 =

<<4*2=8>>8 dozen cookies There are 12 cookies in a dozen and she makes 8 dozen cookies for a total of 12*8 = <<12*8=96>>96 cookies She splits the 96 cookies equally amongst 16 people so they each eat 96/16 = <<96/16=6>>6 cookies #### 6 Hannah hangs a 2 foot by 4 foot painting on a 5 foot by 10 foot wall. What percentage of the wall is taken up by the painting? First find the area of the painting: 2 feet * 4 feet = <<2*4=8>>8 square feet Then find the area of the wall: 5 feet * 10 feet = <<5*10=50>>50 square feet Then divide the area of the painting by the area of the wall and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 8 square feet / 50 square feet * 100% = 16% #### 16 Michael has 2 cats and 3 dogs. He needs to pay a friend to watch them, who charges $13 a night per animal. How much does Michael have to pay? Michael has 5 animals because 2 + 3 = <<2+3=5>>5 Michael has to pay $65 because 5 x $13 = $<<5*13=65>>65 #### 65 Kate saved $27 in March. She saved $13 in April and $28 in May. Then Kate spent $49 on a keyboard and $5 on a mouse. How much money does Kate have left? The total amount of money saved is $27 + $13 + $28 = $<<27+13+28=68>>68. The total cost of the two products is $49 + $5 = $<<49+5=54>>54. Kate has $68 − $54 = $14 left. #### 14 Adonis is playing a prank on his dad by replacing his shampoo with hot sauce. Every day, after his dad showers, Adonis replaces the shampoo with 1/2 an ounce of hot sauce. He knows his dad uses 1 oz of shampoo a day from a new 10 oz bottle that no one else uses. After 4 days, what percentage of the liquid in the bottle is hot sauce? Each day, the shampoo bottle goes down 1/2 an ounce because 1 - (1/2) = 1/2 After four days the shampoo bottle is 2 ounces lower because 4 x (1/2) = <<4*(1/2)=2>>2 After four days, the shampoo bottle has 8 ounces of liquid left because 10 -2 = <<10-2=8>>8 After four days the shampoo bottle has 2 ounces of hot sauce 4 x (1/2) = <<4*(1/2)=2>>2 The proportion of hot sauce in the bottle is .25 because 2 / 8 = <<2/8=.25>>.25 The percentage of hot sauce is 25% because .25 x 100 = <<.25*100=25>>25 #### 25 Jackson is clearing out his email inbox after noticing he has a whole lot of emails that he no longer needs and can delete. While he is cleaning his inbox, though, he keeps getting more emails. While he deletes 50 emails he gets another 15 sent to him. While he deletes 20 more he receives 5 more emails. After he is done deleting all his old emails he has just the new emails left, including 10 more that were sent to him. How many emails are there in Jackson's inbox now? Jackson deleted all his old emails so now he only has the new ones left, which he first gets 15 + 5 of = <<15+5=20>>20 emails. Then Jackson receives 10 more emails to add to the other 20 new ones, 10 + 20 = <<10+20=30>>30 new emails. #### 30 Mary is trying to count the animals in the petting zoo, but they kept moving around so she double-counts 7 sheep and forgets to count 3 pigs. If Mary thinks there are 60 animals, how many are there really? First subtract the 7 double-counted animals from Mary's total: 60 animals - 7 animals = <<60-7=53>>53 animals Then add the animals she missed to find the real total: 53 animals + 3 pigs = <<53+3=56>>56 animals #### 56 Tom broke his leg and needed to go to the doctor. The visit cost $300 and the cast cost $200. If insurance covered 60% how much was Tom's out-of-pocket cost? The cost was 300+200=$<<300+200=500>>500 So insurance paid for 500*.6=$<<500*.6=300>>300 That means he had to pay 500-300=$<<500-300=200>>200 out of pocket #### 200 Two friends, Hubert and Ian, are planning to have a pizza party. One box of pizza is worth $14, and a can of soda is worth $1.80. Hubert orders eight boxes of pizza and ten cans of soda. Ian buys ten boxes of pizza and fifteen cans of soda. How much do they spend in all? The number of boxes of pizza is 8 + 10 = <<8+10=18>>18 boxes. The number of cans of soda is 10 + 15 = <<10+15=25>>25 cans. The eighteen boxes of pizza cost 18 x $14= $<<18*14=252>>252. The cost of 25 cans of soda is 25 x $1.80= $<<25*1.8=45>>45. Therefore, the total amount they spend is $252 + $45 = $<<252+45=297>>297 #### 297 The price per organic egg is 50 cents. The price of a tray of eggs that contains 30 eggs is $12. How much can you save, in cents, per egg if you buy a tray versus individual eggs? The price per egg in a tray is $12/30 eggs = $<<12/30=0.4>>0.4/egg. The equivalent of $0.4 in cents is $0.4 x 100 cents/dollar = <<0.4*100=40>>40 cents. Hence, you can save 50 cents - 40 cents = <<50-40=10>>10 cents per egg if you buy a tray. #### 10
