Angus, Patrick, and Ollie went fishing for trout on Rainbow Lake. Angus caught 4 more fish than Patrick did, but Ollie caught 7 fewer fish than Angus. If Ollie caught 5 fish, how many fish did Patrick catch?

If Ollie caught 7 less than Angus, then Angus caught 5+7=12 fish.

And since Angus caught four more than Patrick, then Patrick caught 12-4=

<<12-4=8>>8 fish. #### 8 Five friends eat at Wendy's and ordered the following: a platter of Taco Salad that cost $10, 5 orders of Dave's Single hamburger that cost $5 each, 4 sets of french fries that cost $2.50, and 5 cups of peach lemonade that cost $2 each. How much will each of them pay if they will split the bill equally? The cost of 5 pieces of Dave's Single hamburger is $5 x 5 = $<<5*5=25>>25. The cost of 4 sets of french fries is $2.50 x 4 = $<<2.5*4=10>>10. The cost of 5 cups of peach lemonade is $2 x 5 = $<<2*5=10>>10. So, their total bill is $10 + $25 + $10 +$10 = $<<10+25+10+10=55>>55. Therefore, each of them will contribute $55/5 = $<<55/5=11>>11. #### 11 Ernie's income is 4/5 of what it used to be and Jack's income is now twice what Ernie used to make. How much do they earn combined if Ernie used to make $6000? If Ernie's income is 4/5 of what it used to be, she is earning 4/5*$6000=$<<4/5*6000=4800>>4800 now Jack's income is now twice what Ernie used to make a total of 2*$6000 = $<<2*6000=12000>>12000 Combined, Ernie and Jack are making $12000+$4800 = $<<12000+4800=16800>>16800 #### 16800 Seymour runs a plant shop. He has 4 flats of petunias with 8 petunias per flat, 3 flats of roses with 6 roses per flat, and two Venus flytraps. Each petunia needs 8 ounces of fertilizer, each rose needs 3 ounces of fertilizer, and each Venus flytrap needs 2 ounces of fertilizer. How many ounces of fertilizer does Seymour need in total? First find the total number of petunias: 4 flats * 8 petunias/flat = <<4*8=32>>32 petunias. Then find the total number of roses: 3 flats * 6 roses/flat = <<3*6=18>>18 roses. Now find how much fertilizer Seymour needs for the petunias: 32 petunias * 8 oz/petunia = <<32*8=256>>256 oz. Now find how much fertilizer Seymour needs for the roses: 18 roses * 3 oz/rose = <<18*3=54>>54 oz Now find how much fertilizer Seymour needs for the Venus flytraps: 2 Venus flytraps * 2 oz/Venus flytrap = <<2*2=4>>4 oz. Now add up the fertilizer for all three plants: 256 oz + 54 oz + 4 oz = <<256+54+4=314>>314 oz. #### 314 John has to hire a lawyer. He pays $1000 upfront. He then gets charged $100 per hour. The lawyer has to work 50 hours in court time. It takes 2 times that long in prep time. His brother pays half the fee. How much did John pay? The lawyer worked 50*2=<<50*2=100>>100 hours out of court So he worked 100+50=<<100+50=150>>150 hours total That means the hourly time cost 150*100=$<<150*100=15000>>15000 Adding the upfront cost it was 15000+1000=$<<15000+1000=16000>>16000 His brother paid half so he paid 16000/2=$<<16000/2=8000>>8000 #### 8000 Every year, four clowns and thirty children go on a carousel. This year, the candy seller, at the carousel, had 700 candies. The candy seller then sold 20 candies, to each of the clowns and the children, who attended. How many candies did he have left? Since there are four clowns at the carousel this year, the candy seller sold 20*4 = <<20*4=80>>80 candies to all the clowns. The thirty children also bought 20*30 = <<20*30=600>>600 candies in total. Altogether, the candy seller sold 600+80 = <<600+80=680>>680 candies to the clowns and children at the carousel. The number of candies the candy seller has left is 700-680= <<700-680=20>>20 #### 20 Terry's daily income is $24, while Jordan's daily income is $30. Working 7 days a week, how much is the difference between their weekly incomes? Terry's weekly income is $24 x 7 = $<<24*7=168>>168. Jordan's weekly income is $30 x 7 = $<<30*7=210>>210. So, the difference between their weekly income is $210 - $168 = $<<210-168=42>>42. #### 42 Violet has 3 more than twice as many nails as Tickletoe. If Violet has 27 nails, how many nails do they have together? Violet has 27-3 = <<27-3=24>>24 nails, twice the number of nails that Tickletoe has. Therefore, Tickletoe has 1/2*24 = <<1/2*24=12>>12 nails. Together, Tickletoe and Violet have 12+27 = <<12+27=39>>39 nails #### 39 Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog. If in 6 years, Tom's brother will be 30 years, how old is Tom's dog going to be in six years? If in six years Tom's brother will be 30 years old, he is currently 30-6 = <<30-6=24>>24 years old. Since Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog, Tom's dog is 24/4 = <<24/4=6>>6 years old currently. Tom's dog will be 6+6 = <<6+6=12>>12 years old in six years. #### 12 Mike began to train to play basketball every day for a tournament. One day he plays a maximum of 2 hours. After a week of training, he increased the maximum time to 3 hours. How many hours did Mike train during the first two weeks? One week is 7 days, so for one week, Mike trained for 7 * 2 = <<7*2=14>>14 hours. The second week he began to train for 3 hours a day, so he trained for 7 * 3 = <<7*3=21>>21 hours. That means Mike in total trained for 21 + 14 = <<21+14=35>>35 hours. #### 35
