The big fashion show is being planned for next week. The show includes runway models strutting up and down the runway wearing designer clothing in front of an audience. There are two parts to the show: evening wear and bathing suits. It takes a model 2 minutes to walk out to the end of the runway and back, and models take turns, one at a time, walking the runway up and back, while wearing different clothes. If there are 6 models in the show, and each model will wear two sets of bathing suits and three sets of evening wear clothing during the runway portion of the show, how long will it take, in minutes, to complete all of the runway trips during the show?

6 models wearing 2 sets of bathing suits, or a total of 6 * 2 =

<<6*2=12>>12 trips wearing bathing suits. 6 models wearing 3 sets of evening wear, or a total of 6 * 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 trips wearing evening wear clothes. Altogether, there will be 12 + 18 = <<12+18=30>>30 trips up and down the runway. At 2 minutes per trip, all of the trips will take 30 * 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 minutes to complete. #### 60 A reporter is paid by the word and per article. She earns $.1 per word. She earns $60 per article. She has to finish three stories in the next 4 hours. She averages 10 words a minute. How much can she expect to earn per hour if she writes the entire time? She has 240 minutes to write because 4 x 60 = <<4*60=240>>240 She will write 2,400 words because 240 x 10 = <<240*10=2400>>2,400 She will earn $240 for the words because 2,400 x .1 = <<2400*.1=240>>240 She will earn $180 from the articles because 3 x 60 = <<3*60=180>>180 She will earn $420 in total because 240 + 180 = <<240+180=420>>420 She will average $105 an hour because 420 / 4 = <<420/4=105>>105 #### 105 Julie, Letitia and Anton decided to have dinner together at a nearby restaurant. Julie orders $10 worth of food, Letitia orders $20 worth of food, and Anton orders $30 worth of food. How much should each pay in tips if they want to split a 20% tip for the whole meal evenly? First, we need to determine how much the entire meal costs before we can determine the tip. We perform 10+20+30=<<10+20+30=60>>60 dollars worth of food. Now we need to find out how much the total tip to be paid is, by multiplying 60*.2=12 dollars in tips. Since they want to split this evenly amongst three people, this works out to 12/3= <<12/3=4>>4 dollars in tips per person. #### 4 Toby is dining out with his friend. They each order a cheeseburger for $3.65. He gets a milkshake for $2 and his friend gets a coke for $1. They split a large fries that cost $4. His friend also gets three cookies that cost $.5 each. The tax is $.2. They agree to split the bill. If Toby arrived with $15, how much change is he bringing home? The cookies cost 3 x .5 = <<3*.5=1.5>>1.5 The hamburgers cost $7.3 because 2 x 3.65 = <<2*3.65=7.3>>7.3 The total cost is $16 because 7.3 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 1.5 + .2 = <<7.3+2+1+4+1.5+.2=16>>16 The cost is $8 per person because 16 / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 Toby has $7 in change because 15 - 8 = <<15-8=7>>7 #### 7 Cassandra collected 5000 pennies for the charity drive. James collected 276 fewer pennies. How many pennies did they donate to charity? James has 5000 - 276 = <<5000-276=4724>>4724 pennies. They donated a total of 5000 + 4724 = <<5000+4724=9724>>9724 pennies. #### 9724 Johnny buys 15 packs of colored pencils for his class. Each pack has a red, yellow, and green pencil inside. When he gets home he notices that 3 of the packs have two extra red pencils inside. How many red colored pencils did Johnny buy? Johnny bought 15 packs, and every normal pack has 1 red pencil. He should have 15 * 1 = <<15*1=15>>15 red pencils. 3 of the packs have 2 extra red colored pencils, so there are 3 * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 extra red pencils. In total, Johnny has 15 + 6 = <<15+6=21>>21 red colored pencils. #### 21 Randy had 32 biscuits. His father gave him 13 biscuits as a gift. His mother gave him 15 biscuits. Randy’s brother ate 20 of these biscuits. How many biscuits are Randy left with? After his father gave him 13 biscuits, Randy has 32 + 13 = <<32+13=45>>45 biscuits. After his mother gave him 15 biscuits, Randy has 45 + 15 = <<45+15=60>>60 biscuits. After his brother ate 20 of the biscuits. Randy has 60 – 20 = <<60-20=40>>40 biscuits. #### 40 Travis goes through 2 boxes of cereal a week. If each box costs $3.00 and he eats 2 boxes every week for an entire year, 52 weeks, how much does he spend on cereal? He eats 2 boxes for 52 weeks so he eats 2*52 = <<2*52=104>>104 boxes Each box costs $3.00 and he buys 104 boxes so he spends 3*104 = $<<3*104=312.00>>312.00 #### 312 Five people are planning a party. Sonja will buy a loaf of French bread ($3 a loaf) and a platter of cold cuts ($23). Barbara will buy the soda ($1 per person) and two boxes of crackers ($2 per box). Mario and Rick will split the cost of two packages of Cheese Doodles ($3 per package). Danica will supply a package of paper plates for $4. How much more will Sonja spend than the rest of the office put together? Sonja will spend $3 + $23 = $<<3+23=26>>26. Barbara will spend 5 + ( 2 * 2) = $<<5+2*2=9>>9. Mario and Rick will spend 2 * 3 = $<<2*3=6>>6. Everyone but Sonijs spend $9 + $6 + $4 = $<<9+6+4=19>>19. Sonija spent $26 - $19 = $<<26-19=7>>7 more than the rest of the people at the party. #### 7 John scores 2 shots worth 2 points and 1 shot worth 3 points every 4 minutes. He plays for 2 periods. Each period is 12 minutes. How many points does he score? He played for 2*12=<<2*12=24>>24 minutes He gets 2*2=<<2*2=4>>4 points per minute from the two-point shots So he scores 4+3=<<4+3=7>>7 points per minute There are 24/4=<<24/4=6>>6 intervals So he scores 7*6=<<7*6=42>>42 points #### 42
