Lucius owns a small business and spends $10 every day on ingredients. He then makes a portion of French Fries and a portion of Poutine and sells them to the market, paying ten percent of his weekly income as tax. If the price of French fries is $12 and the price of Poutine is $8, how much does he earn every week after paying the taxes, selling all his products, and buying all the ingredients?

He earns $12 + $8 = $

<<12+8=20>>20 after selling the French fries and Poutine every day. So, he earns $20 x 7 = $<<20*7=140>>140 every week. And the total amount he pays for the taxes is $140 x 0.10= $<<140*0.10=14>>14. So, his income after paying the weekly taxes is $140 - $14 = $<<140-14=126>>126. Lucius spends $10 x 7 = $<<10*7=70>>70 for the ingredients every week. Therefore, his total income every week after buying all the ingredients and paying the taxes is $126 - $70 = $<<126-70=56>>56. #### 56 Mr Cruz went to his doctor to seek advice on the best way to gain weight. His doctor told him to include more proteins in his meals and live a generally healthy lifestyle. After a month of following his doctor's advice, Mr Cruz had a weight gain of 20 pounds. He gained 30 more pounds in the second month after more healthy eating habits. If he originally weighed 70 pounds, what's his weight after the two months? Mr Cruz's total weight gain in the two months is 20 + 30 = <<20+30=50>>50 pounds. If he initially weighed 70 pounds, his total weight after the two months is 70 + 50 = <<70+50=120>>120 pounds #### 120 A cake has 8 slices and each slice contains 347 calories. A pan of brownies has 6 brownies and each slice contains 375 calories. How many more calories does the cake have? The cake has 8 slices * 347 calories = <<8*347=2776>>2776 calories. The brownies have 6 slices * 375 = <<6*375=2250>>2250 calories. The cake has 2776 calories - 2250 = <<2776-2250=526>>526 more calories. #### 526 Brogan has two apple trees and goes to harvest them. The first tree is 40% red and 60% green. The second tree is 50% red and 50% green. If they each produce 20 apples, how many red apples does he get? The first tree gives him 8 red apples because 20 x .4 = <<20*.4=8>>8 The second tree gives him 10 red apples because 20 x .5 = <<20*.5=10>>10 He gets 18 red apples because 10 + 8 = <<10+8=18>>18 #### 18 Mr. Doré bought $140 worth of pants, a $43 shirt and a $15 tie. He pays with a $200 bill. How much will the saleswoman give him back? The total expenses are $140 + $43 + $15 = $<<140+43+15=198>>198. Mr. Doré paid $200, so the saleswoman must give him $200 - $198 = $<<200-198=2>>2 back. #### 2 The difference in ages between Richard and Hurley is 20. If Hurley is 14 years old, what are their combined ages 40 years from now? If Hurley is 14 years old, and the difference in ages between Richard and Hurley is 20, Richard is 20+14 = <<20+14=34>>34 Forty years from now, Hurley will be 14+40 = <<14+40=54>>54 years old. Richard will be 40+34 = <<40+34=74>>74 years forty years from now. Their combined ages forty years from now will be 74+54 = <<74+54=128>>128 years #### 128 There are 50 goldfish in the pond. Each goldfish eats 1.5 ounces of food per day. 20% of the goldfish need to eat special food that costs $3 an ounce. How much does it cost to feed these fish? There are 10 fish who need the special food because 50 x .2 = <<50*.2=10>>10 These fish eat 15 ounces a day because 10 x 1.5 = <<10*1.5=15>>15 This food costs $45 because 15 x 3 = <<15*3=45>>45 #### 45 Three towns, Toadon, Gordonia, and Lake Bright, have 80000 people. Gordonia has 1/2 times the total population in the three cities. If the population of Toadon is 60 percent of Gordonia's population, how many people live in Lake Bright? The population of Gordonia is 1/2 * 80000 people = 40000 people Toadon has 60/100 * 40000 people = <<60/100*40000=24000>>24000 people The total population of Gordonia and Toadon is 40000 people + 24000 people = <<40000+24000=64000>>64000 people The population of Lake Bright is 80000 people - 64000 people = <<80000-64000=16000>>16000 people #### 16000 At the beginning of an academic year, there were 15 boys in a class and the number of girls was 20% greater. Later in the year, transfer students were admitted such that the number of girls doubled but the number of boys remained the same. How many students are in the class now? The original number of girls was 20% greater than 15 (the number of boys) giving 15+(20/100)*15 = <<15+(20/100)*15=18>>18 After the admission of transfer students, the number of girls doubled to become 18*2 = <<18*2=36>>36 In addition to the 15 boys, there are now 15+36 = <<15+36=51>>51 students in the class #### 51 Clare's mother gave her $47 to go to the store. Clare bought 4 loaves of bread and 2 cartons of milk. Each loaf of bread cost $2 and each carton of milk cost $2. How much money does Clare have left? The cost of the loaves of bread is 4 × $2 = $<<4*2=8>>8. The cost of the milk is 2 × $2 = $<<2*2=4>>4. The total cost of the groceries is $8 + $4 = $<<8+4=12>>12. Clare has $47 − $12 = $35 left. #### 35
