Kaiden and Adriel were to pick a certain number of apples from their farm. After picking 400 apples each, they realized they still had to pick some more, so each picked 3/4 times as many as they had picked earlier. When they checked the pickup truck that was carrying the apples, they found out they still needed to pick 600 apples each to reach the target number. How many apples were they targeting to pick?

When they picked 400 apples each in the first round, they picked a total of 2*400 =

<<2*400=800>>800 apples. They picked 3/4*400 = <<3/4*400=300>>300 apples each in the second round. The total number of apples they picked in the second round is 2*300 = <<2*300=600>>600 The total number of apples they'd picked so far is 800+600 = <<800+600=1400>>1400 When they checked the pickup truck that was carrying the apples, they found out they still needed to pick 600 apples each to reach the target number, a total of 2*600= <<2*600=1200>>1200 The target number of apples they had to pick is 1200+1400 = <<1200+1400=2600>>2600 #### 2600 Jerry had 63 pieces of candy. He divided them up equally into 9 bags. 2 of the bags had chocolate hearts. 3 of the bags were chocolate kisses. The rest of the bags were not chocolate. How many pieces of candy were not chocolate? Jerry had 63 pieces of candy / 9 bags = <<63/9=7>>7 pieces of candy per bag. There were chocolate hearts in 2 bags * 7 = <<2*7=14>>14 chocolate hearts. There were chocolate kisses in 3 bags * 7 = <<3*7=21>>21 chocolate kisses. There was a total of 21 + 14 chocolate candy = <<21+14=35>>35 chocolate. Jerry started with 63 pieces - 35 chocolate = <<63-35=28>>28 pieces of non-chocolate candy. #### 28 Cory has $20.00 and she wants to buy two packs of candies that cost $49.00 each. How much money does Cory need so she will be able to buy the pack of candies? The two packs of candy cost $49 x 2 = $<<49*2=98>>98. Therefore, Cory needs $98 - $20= $<<98-20=78>>78 to be able to buy two packs of candy. #### 78 Lucille made an agreement with her mom that she would earn six cents for every weed she pulled in her mom's garden. There are eleven weeds in the flower bed, fourteen in the vegetable patch, and thirty-two in the grass around the fruit trees. Lucille weeded the flower bed, the vegetable patch, and half the grass before she took a break. She bought a soda for 99 cents on her break with some of her earnings. How many cents does Lucille have left? Lucille weeded half the grass, so she pulled 32 / 2 = <<32/2=16>>16 weeds around the fruit frees. She pulled 11 + 14 + 16 = <<11+14+16=41>>41 weeds before her break. From that, she earned 41 * 6 = <<41*6=246>>246 cents. After buying her soda, Lucille has 246 - 99 = <<246-99=147>>147 cents left. #### 147 Phoebe eats 1 serving and gives her dog 1 serving of peanut butter for a bedtime snack. Each jar of peanut butter has 15 servings. How many jars will she need to make sure she and her dog have enough to last for 30 days? She and her dog both have a serving before bed so they eat 1+1 = <<1+1=2>>2 servings a day She wants to have enough for 30 days and they eat 2 servings a day so they need 30*2 = <<30*2=60>>60 servings Each jar has 15 servings and she needs 60 servings so she will need 60/15 = <<60/15=4>>4 jars of peanut butter #### 4 A quarterback throws 50 passes in one game. He throws twice as many passes to the right of the field than he does to the left of the field. He throws 2 more passes to the center of the field than he did to the left. How many passes did he throw to the left side of the field? Let x represent the number of passes thrown to the left side of the field Right:2x Center:x+2 Total:x+2x+x+2=50 4x+2=50 4x=48 x=<<12=12>>12 passes #### 12 Austin receives $5 for every hour he helps his father build a deck in their backyard. He works for 2 hours on Mondays, an hour on Wednesdays, and 3 hours on Fridays. If Austin wants to buy a bicycle that costs $180, how many weeks does he have to work? Austin works a total of 2 + 1 + 3 = <<2+1+3=6>>6 hours a week. Since he is paid $5 per hour of work, he'll earn $5*6 = <<5*6=30>>30 in a week. To make $180, he'll have to work for $180/$30 = <<180/30=6>>6 weeks #### 6 Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy. If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then how many pencils does Candy have? If Calen lost 10 pencils, which left him with 10 pencils, then Calen originally had 10+10=<<10+10=20>>20 pencils. Calen originally had 5 more pencils than does Caleb, and thus Caleb has 20-5=<<20-5=15>>15 pencils. Let's let "x" represent the number of pencils owned by Candy. Since Caleb has 3 less than twice as many pencils as does Candy, then (2*x)-3=15. This simplifies to 2*x=18. Thus, the number of pencils owned by Candy is x=<<9=9>>9 pencils. #### 9 Rikki is writing and selling poetry. He sells his poems for $.01 a word. He can write 25 words of poetry in 5 minutes. If he has 2 hours to write poetry, how much can he expect to earn? He will write for 120 hours because 2 x 60 = <<2*60=120>>120 He will write for 24 units of five minutes each because 120 / 5 = <<120/5=24>>24 He can write 600 words because 24 x 25 = <<24*25=600>>600 He can earn $6 because 600 x .01 = <<600*.01=6>>6 #### 6 Jeremy is driving 600 miles to visit his parents. His average speed for this trip is 50 miles per hour. Every two hours of driving, he makes a rest stop for 15 minutes. His car gets 18 miles per gallon of gas, and his gas indicator comes on when he's used 15 gallons, at which point he stops to refill, which takes 10 minutes. How long, in minutes, does he take to get to his parents' house, if he starts out with a full tank of gas? Jeremy is driving 600 miles, at an average speed of 50 miles per hour, so he will be driving for 600 miles / 50 miles per hour = 12 hours * 60 minutes per hour = 720 minutes. He makes a rest stop every 2 hours of driving, at 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 hours in = 5 rest stops on the trips. Each rest stop takes 15 minutes so he will spend 5 rest stops * 15 minutes per rest stop = <<5*15=75>>75 minutes on rest stops. His car gets 18 miles to the gallon, and he stops to refill every 15 gallons, so he will stop to refill every 18 miles per gallon * 15 gallons = <<18*15=270>>270 miles. 600 miles / 270 miles per refuel = 2.22 refuels, so he'll only make 2 refuels during the trip. He will spend 2 refuels * 10 minute per refuel = <<2*10=20>>20 minutes refueling his car. In total he will take 720 minutes driving + 75 minutes resting + 20 minutes refueling = <<720+75+20=815>>815 minutes. #### 815
