A warehouse store sells cartons of gum. Each carton contains 5 packs of gum, and there are 3 sticks of gum in each pack. Each brown box contains 4 cartons of gum. How many sticks of gum are there in 8 brown boxes?

5 packs of gum contain 5*3=

<<5*3=15>>15 sticks of gum. If each brown box contains 4 cartons, 8 brown boxes contain 8 * 4= <<8*4=32>>32 cartons. So, 8 brown boxes contain 32 * 15=<<32*15=480>>480 sticks of gum. #### 480 John goes to the market with €100. He buys a roast for €17 and vegetables for €11. How much money does he have left? He spent 17 + 11 = €<<17+11=28>>28. So, he still has 100 – 28 = €<<100-28=72>>72 remaining. #### 72 Tania has five baskets containing a total of 58 fruits. There are 18 mangoes in one basket, 10 pears in another, 12 pawpaws in another and the last 2 contain the same number of kiwi and lemon respectively, how many lemons are there? The sum of mangoes, pears and pawpaws is 18+10+12 = <<18+10+12=40>>40 The total number of fruits is 58 so the last two baskets contain 58-40 = <<58-40=18>>18 fruits Each of the last two baskets contains an equal amount of fruits which is 18/2 = <<18/2=9>>9 fruits #### 9 Marcia wants to buy some fruit. Apples cost $2, bananas cost $1, and oranges cost $3. If Marcia buys 12 apples, 4 bananas and 4 oranges, what is the average cost of each piece of fruit in dollars? Find the price of each group of fruit 12 apples * $2 per apple = $<<12*2=24>>24 4 bananas * $1 per banana = $<<4*1=4>>4 3 oranges * $4 per orange = $<<3*4=12>>12 $24 + $4 + $12 = $<<24+4+12=40>>40 in total that was spent 12 + 4 + 4 = <<12+4+4=20>>20 total fruits bought $40 / 20 fruits = $<<40/20=2>>2 per fruit #### 2 Peter bought 4 new notebooks for school. 2 of them are green, one is black and the other one is pink. The total cost was $45. If the black notebook cost $15, and the pink one cost $10, how much did the green notebooks cost each? The black and pink notebook cost a total of $15 + $10 = $<<15+10=25>>25 The green notebooks cost a total of $45 - $25 = $<<45-25=20>>20 Each green notebook cost $20 / 2 = $<<20/2=10>>10 #### 10 When Jason plays the video game, Duty for Ashes, his mission to slay the dragon hoard requires that he fire his weapon on average every 15 seconds. And each time he fires his weapon, his power-fire setting allows him to shoot a flame for 5 seconds. On average, how many seconds per minute does Jason shoot flames at the dragon hoard? Since he fires his weapon on average every 15 seconds, then in one minute he fires the flamethrower 60/15=<<60/15=4>>4 times. And since each time he fires his weapon, he shoots flame for 5 seconds, then Jason shoots flames at the dragon hoard a total of 4*5=<<4*5=20>>20 seconds of every minute. #### 20 If there are 8 slices in a large pizza, how many slices will remain if Mary orders 2 large pizzas and eats 7 slices? The number of total slices of pizza is 8 slices per pizza * 2 large pizzas = <<8*2=16>>16 slices If Mary eats 7 slices, then 16 - 7 = <<16-7=9>>9 remain #### 9 A community is building a metal fence. Each fence panel is made of 3 metal sheets, and 2 metal beams. The fence is made of 10 fence panels. If each sheet is made of 10 metal rods and each metal beam is made of 4 metal rods, how many metal rods does the community need for the fence? In each panel, the metal sheets use 3 metal sheets * 10 metal rods = <<3*10=30>>30 metal rods. In each panel, the metal beams use 2 metal beams * 4 metal rods = <<2*4=8>>8 metal rods. So each panel uses 30 + 8 = <<30+8=38>>38 metal rods. The entire fence therefore needs 38 metal rods * 10 fence panels = <<38*10=380>>380 metal rods. #### 380 Martha receives a daily allowance of $12. She decides to save half of this amount every day. In the first week she kept her commitment with the exception of one day when she saved only a quarter of this amount. How much has she saved at the end of this week? Half of $12 is (1/2)*$12 = $6 There are 7 days in a week so if she saved half every day except one then she saved half for 7-1 = <<7-1=6>>6 days She saved $6 for 6 days for a total of $<<6*6=36>>36 A quarter of $12 is (1/4)*$12 = $<<12*1/4=3>>3 She saved a quarter once for a total savings of $3+$36 = $<<3+36=39>>39 #### 39 Nate starts his camping trip with 70 matches. He drops 10 in a creek and his dog eats twice as many. How many matches does he have left? First find the number of matches the dog eats: 10 matches * 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 matches Then subtract all the lost matches from the starting number to find the final number: 70 matches - 10 matches - 20 matches = <<70-10-20=40>>40 matches #### 40
