Sherry is making banana bread for a bake sale. She wants to make 99 loaves. Her recipe makes enough batter for 3 loaves. The recipe calls for 1 banana. How many bananas does Sherry need?

Sherry needs to make 33 batches of banana bread to make enough loaves because 99/3=

<<99/3=33>>33. Therefore, Sherry needs 33 bananas because there is 1 banana in each batch. #### 33 Two months ago, Wilson had a total of $150 in his bank account. Then last month, he deposited $17. A few days after, he made a withdrawal. This month, he deposited $21 so he has $16 more than what is in his account two months ago. How much did Wilson withdraw last month? Wilson had $150 + $17= $<<150+17=167>>167 two months ago before making a withdrawal. His money in his account now is $150 + $16 = $<<150+16=166>>166. Since he deposited $21 this month, this means there was $166 - $21 = $145 last month after making a withdrawal. Therefore, Wilson withdrew $167 - $145 = $<<167-145=22>>22. #### 22 Thomas buys a weight vest. It weighed 60 pounds and worked well for him in the beginning but after a bit of training he decides he wants to increase the weight by 60%. The weights come in 2-pound steel ingots. Each ingot cost $5 and if you buy more than 10 you get a 20% discount. How much does it cost to get the weight he needs? He needs to buy 60*.6=<<60*.6=36>>36 pounds So he needs to buy 36/2=<<36/2=18>>18 weight plates That would cost 18*5=$<<18*5=90>>90 Since he bought more than 10 he gets a discount so he gets 90*.2=$<<90*.2=18>>18 off. That means he paid 90-18=$<<90-18=72>>72 #### 72 The carousel at the fair has 3 blue horses, three times that many purple horses, twice as many green horses as purple horses, and 1/6th as many gold horses as green horses. How many horses are there total? First find how many purple horses there are: 3 blue horses * 3 purple/1 blue = <<3*3=9>>9 purple horses Then double that number to find how many green horses there are: 9 purple horses * 2 green/1 purple = <<9*2=18>>18 green horses Then divide the number of green horses by 6 to find the number of gold horses: 18 green horses / 6 green/1 gold = <<18/6=3>>3 gold horses Then add the number of horses of each color to find the total number of horses: 9 horses + 18 horses + 3 horses + 3 horses = <<9+18+3+3=33>>33 horses #### 33 The population of Port Perry is seven times as many as the population of Wellington. The population of Port Perry is 800 more than the population of Lazy Harbor. If Wellington has a population of 900, how many people live in Port Perry and Lazy Harbor combined? Population of Port Perry is 900*7 = <<900*7=6300>>6,300 Population of Lazy Harbor is 6,300-800 = <<6300-800=5500>>5,500 Combined population is 6,300+5,500 = <<6300+5500=11800>>11,800 #### 11,800 Matt wants to repaint his house. He needs to paint three walls in his living room, which is a square 40 feet by 40 feet, and all four walls in his bedroom, which is a rectangle 10 feet by 12 feet. All the walls in Matt's house are 10 feet tall. How many total square feet of wall does Matt need to paint? First figure out how many square feet a wall in the living room is: 40 feet length * 10 feet height = <<40*10=400>>400 square feet Now multiply by 3 since Matt needs to paint three living room walls: 400 square feet/wall * 3 walls = <<400*3=1200>>1200 square feet Next figure out how many square feet the long walls in the bedroom are: 12 feet * 10 feet = <<12*10=120>>120 square feet There are two long walls, so multiply this figure by 2: 120 square feet/wall * 2 walls = <<120*2=240>>240 square feet Next figure out how many square feet the short walls in the bedroom are: 10 feet * 10 feet = <<10*10=100>>100 square feet Multiply this by 2, since there are two short walls: 100 square feet/wall * 2 walls = <<100*2=200>>200 square feet Finally, add up the square footage from the three living room walls, the two short bedroom walls, and the two long bedroom walls: 1200 square feet + 240 square feet + 200 square feet = <<1200+240+200=1640>>1640 square feet #### 1640 Hans reserved a table at a fine dining restaurant for twelve people. He has to pay a deposit for the reservation, and the deposit is a flat $20 plus an extra $3 per adult but only $1 per child. Two of the people in Hans’s party are his kid cousins, and the rest are adults. How many dollars does Hans have to pay as a deposit for the restaurant reservation? Hans’s party includes 12 - 2 = <<12-2=10>>10 adults and 2 children. The adults will cost 3 * 10 = $<<3*10=30>>30 for the deposit. The children will cost 2 * 1 = $<<2*1=2>>2 for the deposit. Thus, Hans has to pay 30 + 2 + 20 = $<<30+2+20=52>>52 as a deposit for the restaurant reservation. #### 52 Martiza is studying for the citizenship test. There are 60 questions on the test. 30 are multiple-choice and 30 are fill-in-the-blank. It takes her 15 minutes to learn each multiple-choice question and 25 minutes each to learn the fill-in-the-blank questions. How many hours will she need to study before she is ready for the test? The multiple-choice questions will take her a total of 30 * 15 = <<30*15=450>>450 minutes. The fill-in-the-blank questions will take her a total of 25 * 30 = <<25*30=750>>750 minutes. The test will take her a total of 450 + 750 = <<450+750=1200>>1200 minutes to study for. Therefore, Martiza will need to study a total of 1200 / 60 minutes = <<1200/60=20>>20 hours. #### 20 Daniel works for a sports stadium filling water bottles for athletes. He filled 254 water bottles this season. The football team had 11 players that wanted 6 bottles each. The soccer team had him fill 53 bottles. The lacrosse team needed 12 more bottles than the football team. Each team coach during the season also wanted two bottles apiece. How many bottles did he fill for the rugby team during the final game he worked this season? Let R be the number of water bottles Daniel refilled for the rugby team. Daniel filled 11 * 6 = <<11*6=66>>66 bottles for the football team. He filled 66 + 12 = <<66+12=78>>78 bottles for the lacrosse team. He got water bottles for four teams, so the team coaches wanted 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 bottles. In all, he filled 66 + 53 + 78 + 8 + R = R + 205 = 254 bottles in all. Thus, he filled R = 254 - 205 = <<254-205=49>>49 bottles for the rugby team this season. #### 49 Ahmed has 8 orange trees and four times as many apple trees in his orchard as Hassan. If Hassan has one apple tree and two orange trees, and they both have only apple and orange trees in their orchards, how many more trees are in Ahmed's orchard than in Hassan's? Ahmed has 4 times as many apple trees as Hassan who has 1 apple tree so Ahmed has 4*1 = <<4*1=4>>4 apple trees Ahmed has 8 orange trees in addition to the apple trees for a total of 8+4 = <<8+4=12>>12 trees Hassan has 1+2 = <<1+2=3>>3 trees in his orchard Ahmed has 12-3 = <<12-3=9>>9 more trees than Hassan #### 9
