Teresa is collecting pencils. She has 14 colored pencils and 35 black pencils. Her three younger siblings need pencils for class and their dad asks her to share all her pencils, giving each an equal number of pencils, regardless of color. He tells her she can keep 10 of them for herself. How many pencils does each sibling get?

Teresa has 49 pencils because 14 + 35 =

<<14+35=49>>49 Teresa gives away 39 pencils because 49 - 10 = <<49-10=39>>39 Each sibling gets 13 pencils because 39 / 3 = <<39/3=13>>13 #### 13 There were 10000 spectators at a basketball match. 7000 of them were men. Of the remaining spectators, there were 5 times as many children as women. How many children were there? There were 10000 - 7000 = <<10000-7000=3000>>3000 women and children. There were 3000 ÷ (5+1) = <<3000/(5+1)=500>>500 women. There are 500 × 5 = <<500*5=2500>>2500 children at the basketball match. #### 2500 Mcgregor and Floyd were assigned 89 books to read for the week. If Mcgregor was able to finish 34 while Floyd was able to finish 32, how many books do they still have to read? They both finished reading a total of 34 + 32 = <<34+32=66>>66 books. Therefore, they still have to read a total of 89 – 66 = <<89-66=23>>23 books. #### 23 Last month, you borrowed $100 from your friend. If you promise to pay her today, how much will you give to your friend if both of you agreed to return the money with a 10% increase? The increase is $100 x 10/100 = $<<100*10/100=10>>10. So you have to give $100 + $10 = $<<100+10=110>>110 to your friend today. #### 110 Roman and Remy took separate showers. Remy used 1 more gallon than 3 times the number of gallons that Roman used for his shower. Together the boys used 33 gallons of water. How many gallons did Remy use? Let R = Roman's gallons Remy = 3R + 1 4R + 1 = 33 4R = <<32=32>>32 R = <<8=8>>8 Remy used 25 gallons of water for his shower. #### 25 There are 50 marbles in a box which has a mixture of white, red and blue marbles. There were originally 20 white marbles and an equal number of red and blue marbles. Jack removes a number of marbles equal to double the difference between the number of white marbles and the number of blue marbles. How many marbles are left in the box? 20 of 50 marbles are white so there are 50-20 = 30 red and blue marbles The number of red marbles and blue marbles is the same, so there are 30/2 = <<30/2=15>>15 of each color The difference between the number of white marbles and blue marbles is 20-15 = <<20-15=5>>5 Double the difference is 5*2 = <<5*2=10>>10 marbles 10 marbles are removed to leave 50-10 = <<50-10=40>>40 marbles #### 40 Tom Brady is shy of the passing yards record in a season. The current record is 5999 yards. He currently has 4200 yards with 6 games left in the season. How many passing yards per game does he need to average to beat the record? Tom needs to pass for 6000 - 4200 = <<6000-4200=1800>>1800 yards to beat the record. Therefore, he needs to average 1800 yards / 6 games = <<1800/6=300>>300 yards per game. #### 300 Monica was saving money for her future. Every week he put $15 into her moneybox. After the moneybox got full, which took 60 weeks, Monica took all the money out and took it to the bank, and she started saving money again. She repeated this whole process 5 times. How much money did Monica take to the bank in total? During 60 weeks, Monica collected 15 * 60 = $<<15*60=900>>900. She repeated this process 5 times, which means in total she collected 5 * 900 = $<<5*900=4500>>4500. #### 4500 Vince owns a hair salon and he earns $18 per head. His monthly expenses are $280 for rent and electricity and 20% of his earnings are allocated for recreation and relaxation. He will save the rest. How much does he save if he serves 80 customers a month? This month, Vince earns 80 x $18 = $<<80*18=1440>>1440. The amount he allocates for recreation and relaxation is 20/100 x $1440 = $<<20/100*1440=288>>288. Thus, his monthly expenses is $280 + $288 =$<<280+288=568>>568. Therefore, he saves $1440 - $568 = $<<1440-568=872>>872. #### 872 A machine fills 150 cans of paint every 8 minutes. How many minutes does it take this machine to fill 675 cans? To know how many groups of 150 cans there are in 675 cans, we calculate 675 ÷ 150 = <<675/150=4.5>>4.5. For each of these groups, 8 minutes are needed, so it takes 8 × 4.5 = <<8*4.5=36>>36 minutes. #### 36
