Michael buys his suit for $430 and shoes for $190. So, if he gets a $100 discount, what was the amount that he paid to the seller?

The amount before the deduction is $430 + $190 = $

<<430+190=620>>620. The amount paid to the seller after the discount is $620 - $100 = $<<620-100=520>>520. #### 520 Ali has a store that sells fruits and vegetables. He puts 23 kg of kidney apples, 37 kg of golden apples and 14 kg of Canada apples on the shelves. By noon, 36 kg of apples were sold. What is the mass of apples that he has left? You first have to calculate the total mass of apples he had on the shelves, so you add the three kinds of apples: 23 kg + 37 kg + 14 kg = <<23+37+14=74>>74kg Since he sold 36 kg of apples, he still has: 74 kg – 36 kg = <<74-36=38>>38kg #### 38 A farmer gets 20 pounds of bacon on average from a pig. He sells each pound for $6 at the monthly farmer’s market. This month’s pig is a runt that grew to only half the size of the average pig. How many dollars will the farmer make from the pig’s bacon? The pig grew to half the size of the average pig, so it will produce 20 / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 pounds of bacon. The rancher will make 10 * 6 = $<<10*6=60>>60 from the pig’s bacon. #### 60 Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth. If Kenneth paid $40 for an oz of fabric and bought 700oz, calculate the amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought. If Kenneth bought 700oz of fabric at $40 per oz, he spent a total of 700*40 = $<<700*40=28000>>28000 Nicholas bought six times as much fabric as Kenneth, meaning Nicholas bought 6*700 = <<6*700=4200>>4200oz of fabric. If an oz of fabric is sold at $40, Nicholas paid 4200*$40 =$<<4200*40=168000>>168000 for the 4200oz of fabric. The amount of money that Nicholas paid more than Kenneth for the fabric he bought is $168000-28000 = $<<168000-28000=140000>>140000. #### 140000 Kristin can run three times faster than Sarith. If Kristin runs 12 times around the adult football field and Sarith runs at the same time around the children's football field that is half the distance as the other field, how many laps did Sarith go around the children's football field? Sarith would run around the adult football field, 12 laps / 3 = <<12/3=4>>4 laps. So on the children's football field, she managed to run, 4 laps * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 laps. #### 8 Linda was going to pass out homemade cookies to each of her 24 classmates on the last day of school. She wanted to give each student 10 cookies and wanted to make chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. Each cookie recipe made exactly 4 dozen cookies. She was able to make 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies before running out of chocolate chips. She made 1 batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. How many more batches of cookies does Linda need to bake? She has 24 classmates and wants to give each 10 cookies, so she needs to bake 24*10=<<24*10=240>>240 cookies Each batch makes 4 dozen cookies so that means each batch has 4*12 = <<4*12=48>>48 cookies She baked 2 batches of chocolate chip and one batch of oatmeal raisin so 2+1 = <<2+1=3>>3 batches We know that each batch has 48 cookies so 3*48 = <<3*48=144>>144 cookies have been baked She needs to have 240 cookies and has baked 144 so 240-144 = <<240-144=96>>96 cookies are needed Again, each batch makes 48 cookies and we need 96 more cookies so 96/48 = <<96/48=2>>2 more batches are needed #### 2 Pierre decides to bring his mother out for ice cream. His treat. Each scoop is $2. If he gets 3 scoops and his mom gets 4, what is the total bill? His ice cream is $6 because 3 x 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 His mom's is $8 because 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 The total is $14 because 6 + 8 = <<6+8=14>>14 #### 14 Ahmed is 11 years old and Fouad is 26 years old. In how many years will Fouad's age be double Ahmed's current age? Let X be the number of years before Fouad's age doubles Ahmed's age. So (X+11)*2 = X+26. So X*2 + 22 = X + 26. So X = 26 - 22 = <<26-22=4>>4 years. #### 4 Jessica is making an apple pie. She knows that each serving requires 1.5 apples and she has 12 quests. She plans to make 3 pies, which each contain 8 servings. If her guests finish all the pie, on average , how many apples does each guest eat? She is making 24 servings because 3 x 8 = <<3*8=24>>24 Each guest has 2 servings because 24 / 12 = <<24/12=2>>2 Each guest has 3 apples because 2 x 1.5 = <<2*1.5=3>>3 #### 3 Grant has worked as a freelance math worker for the last three months. The first month he made 350$. The second month he made 50$ more than double he made the first month. The third month he quadrupled the sum of the first two months. How much did Grant make in his first three months total? First Month:350$ Second Month:50+2(350)=750$ Third Month:4(350+750)=4400$ Total:350+750+4400=<<350+750+4400=5500>>5500$ #### 5500
