In Everlee's family, there are two adults and four children. In a cookie jar, there are a total of 120 cookies. If the adults eat 1/3 of the cookies and then gives the rest to the children to divide equally, how many cookies does each child get?

The adults ate 1/3*120 =

<<1/3*120=40>>40 cookies. The remaining number of cookies is 120-40 = <<120-40=80>>80 cookies. If the children divided the cookies equally, each child got 80/4 = <<80/4=20>>20 cookies #### 20 A boy has 12 oranges. He gives one-third of this number to his brother, one-fourth of the remainder to his friend and keeps the rest for himself. How many does his friend get? He gives a third of 12 oranges to his brother which is 12*(1/3) = <<12*(1/3)=4>>4 oranges He has 12-4 = <<12-4=8>>8 oranges left He gives a fourth of 8 oranges to his friend which is 8*(1/4) = <<8*(1/4)=2>>2 oranges #### 2 Carlson bought land that cost $8000 and additional land that cost $4000. He initially owned 300 square meters of land. If the land he bought costs $20 per square meter, how big is his land after buying the new land? Carlson bought land that cost $20 per square meter, therefore the size of the land he bought is 8000/20 = 400. And the size of the other land he bought is 4000/20 = <<4000/20=200>>200. Therefore the total size of the land he owns is 400+200+300 = <<400+200+300=900>>900. #### 900 John buys 3 puzzles. The first puzzle has 1000 pieces. The second and third puzzles have the same number of pieces and each has 50% more pieces. How many total pieces are all the puzzles? The second puzzle has 1000*.5=<<1000*.5=500>>500 more pieces than the first So it has 1000+500=<<1000+500=1500>>1500 total pieces That means those two puzzles have 1500*2=<<1500*2=3000>>3000 pieces So in total there were 3000+1000=<<3000+1000=4000>>4000 pieces #### 4000 Janice gets paid $10 an hour for the first 40 hours she works each week, and $15 each hour of overtime after that. If Janice works 60 hours one week, how much money does she make? Janice makes during her first 40 hours of work $10/hour * 40 hours = $<<10*40=400>>400. Janice works 60 hours - 40 hours = <<60-40=20>>20 hours during her overtime. Janice makes from working overtime $15 * 20 = $<<15*20=300>>300. The total she makes a week is $400 + $300 = $<<400+300=700>>700. #### 700 Laura took six trips to park. On each trip, she spent 2 hours at the park and an additinal 30 minutes walking to and from the park. What percentage of the total time she took for her trips to the park did Laura spend in the park? During 6 days, Laura would spend 2 * 6 = <<2*6=12>>12 hours in the park. If it takes 30 minutes (or 0.5 of an hour) walking to and from the park, then for the six trips, it would take her an additional 0.5 * 6 = <<0.5*6=3>>3 hours to walk to and from the park. In total, she would spend a total of 12 + 3 = <<12+3=15>>15 hours on her six trips. So, the fraction of time spent in the park would be 12 / 15 = <<12/15=0.8>>0.8. Thus, converting fraction to percentage, Laura spent 0.8 * 100% = 80% of her trip time at the park. #### 80 Sam earns $10 an hour on Math tutoring. For the first month, he earned $200; and for the second month, he earned $150 more than the first month. How many hours did he spend on tutoring for two months? For the second month, Sam earned $200 + $150 = $<<200+150=350>>350. So, he earned a total of $200 +$350 = $<<200+350=550>>550 for the first two months. Therefore, he spent $550/$10 = <<550/10=55>>55 hours on math tutoring for the first two months #### 55 Marcia needs to add 3 skirts, 2 pairs of pants and 5 blouses to her work wardrobe. A department store is offering a sale on pants; buy 1 pair get 1 pair 1/2 off. If her skirts are $20.00 each, the blouses are $15.00 and both pairs of pants are $30.00 each. How much will she spend on her wardrobe? The pants are $30.00 and are buy one get one 1/2 off so the second pair will be 30*.5 = $<<30*.5=15.00>>15.00 The first pair of pants is $30.00 and the second pair is $15.00 so the pants cost 30+15 = $<<30+15=45.00>>45.00 The skirts are $20.00 each and she’s buying 3 so that’s 20*3 = $<<20*3=60.00>>60.00 The blouses are $15.00 each and she’s buying 5 so that’s 15*5 = $<<15*5=75.00>>75.00 All total, her wardrobe will cost $45 for the pants, $60 for the skirts and $75 for the blouses so 45+60+75 = $<<45+60+75=180.00>>180.00 #### 180 Ivanka wrote a book that took her 3 more months than it took Woody to write a book. Woody spent 1.5 years writing his book. How many months in total did Ivanka and Woody need to write their books? Woody = 1.5 years = 18 months Ivanka = 18 + 3 = <<18+3=21>>21 months 18 + 21 = <<18+21=39>>39 months It took Ivanka and Woody 39 months to write their books. #### 39 Ethan is reading a sci-fi book that has 360 pages. He read 40 pages on Saturday morning and another 10 pages at night. The next day he read twice the total pages as on Saturday. How many pages does he have left to read? Ethan read a total of 40 pages + 10 pages = <<40+10=50>>50 pages on Saturday. On the next day, he read a total of 50 pages x 2 = <<50*2=100>>100 pages. The total number of pages that Ethan had read is 50 pages + 100 pages = <<50+100=150>>150 pages. Therefore, Ethan has 360 pages - 150 pages = <<360-150=210>>210 pages left to read. #### 210
