The result from the 40-item Statistics exam Marion and Ella took already came out. Ella got 4 incorrect answers while Marion got 6 more than half the score of Ella. What is Marion's score?

Ella's score is 40 items - 4 items =

<<40-4=36>>36 items. Half of Ella's score is 36 items / 2 = <<36/2=18>>18 items.

How many photos are used in the newspaper? The number of photos in the first batch of pages is 12 * 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 photos. The number of photos in the second batch is 9 * 3 = <<9*3=27>>27 photos. The total number of photos used in the newspaper is 24 + 27 = <<24+27=51>>51 photos. #### 51 Mr. Reyansh has a dairy farm with 40 cows. Each cow on the farm drinks 80 liters of water daily. He also has a sheep ranch with 10 times the number of cows, with each sheep drinking 1/4 times as much water as a cow does. How many liters of water does Mr. Reyansh use to water all of his animals in a week? If a cow drinks 80 liters of water in a day, it drinks 80*7= <<80*7=560>>560 liters of water per week. Mr. Reyansh has 40 cows drinking 560 liters of water a week, totaling 560*40 = <<560*40=22400>>22400 liters. In the ranch, a sheep drinks 1/4*80 = <<80*1/4=20>>20 liters of water in a day. The total amount of liters a sheep drinks in a week is 20*7 = <<20*7=140>>140 liters Mr. Reyansh has ten times as many sheep as cows, that is 10*40 = <<10*40=400>>400 sheep. If each sheep drinks 140 liters of water in a week, 400 sheep drinks 400*140 = <<400*140=56000>>56000 liters of water. Together, the cows and sheep drink 56000+22400 = <<56000+22400=78400>>78400 liters of water per week. #### 78400 Mike decides to develop a plot of land. He bought 200 acres for $70 per acre.

He bought the land for 200*70=$<<200*70=14000>>14000 He sold 200/2=<<200/2=100>>100 acres He got 100*200=$<<100*200=20000>>20,000 from selling this So he made a profit of 20,000-14,000=$<<20000-14000=6000>>6,000 #### 6000 There were 63 Easter eggs in the yard. Hannah found twice as many as Helen. How many Easter eggs did Hannah find? Hannah found twice as many as Helen, so there are 2+1 = <<2+1=3>>3 units of eggs There were 63 Easter eggs total and there are 3 units of eggs so 63/3 = <<63/3=21>>21 easter eggs per unit So if Helen found 21 eggs and Hannah found twice as many, then Hannah found 2*21 = 42 Easter eggs #### 42 There are 26 chickens, 40 piglets, and 34 goats at Stacy’s farm. A really bad storm hits and half of all the animals get sick. How many animals in total get sick? 26/2 = <<26/2=13>>13 chickens get sick. 40/2 = <<40/2=20>>20 piglets get sick. 34/2 = <<34/2=17>>17 goats get sick. In total, 13+20+17 = <<13+20+17=50>>50 animals get sick. #### 50 Every Sunday John is allowed to watch cartoons. However, for every 10 minutes of cartoons, he has to do 8 minutes of chores. If he watches cartoons for 2 hours, how many minutes of chores does he have to do? He watched for 120 minutes because 2 x 60 = <<2*60=120>>120 This means 12 blocks of chores must be done because 120 / 10 = <<120/10=12>>12 He has to do 96 minutes of chores because 12 x 8 = <<12*8=96>>96 #### 96 Miranda wants to buy a pair of heels she saw online. She saved money for 3 months. Her sister heard that she was sad and gave her $50 for her to buy the heels. If she paid $260 in total for the heels, how much money did she save per month? First find the total amount of money she saved: $260 - $50 = $<<260-50=210>>210 Then divide that number by the number of months she saved to find the amount she saved each month: $210 / 3 months = $<<210/3=70>>70/month #### 70 At the end of a circus act, there are 12 dogs on stage. Half of the dogs are standing on their back legs and the other half are standing on all 4 legs. How many dog paws are on the ground? There are 12 dogs and half are standing on their back legs so that means 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 are standing on their back legs A dog has 2 back legs and only 6 are standing on their back legs meaning that there are 2*6 = <<2*6=12>>12 paws on the ground The other 6 dogs are standing on all 4 legs which means these 6 dogs have 6*4 = <<6*4=24>>24 paws on the ground When you add them together 12+24 = <<12+24=36>>36 paws on the ground #### 36 At Palm Meadows, there are 13 hotel rooms.
