At the beginning of the day, Principal Kumar instructed Harold to raise the flag up the flagpole. The flagpole is 60 feet long, and when fully raised, the flag sits on the very top of the flagpole. Later that morning, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to lower the flag to half-mast. So, Harold lowered the flag halfway down the pole. Later, Principal Kumar told Harold to raise the flag to the top of the pole once again, and Harold did just that. At the end of the day, Vice-principal Zizi instructed Harold to completely lower the flag, take it off of the pole, and put it away for the evening. Over the course of the day, how far, in feet, had the flag moved up and down the pole?

Half of the distance up the flagpole is 60/2 =

<<60/2=30>>30 feet. Thus, Harold moved the flag 60 up + 30 down + 30 up + 60 down = <<60+30+30+60=180>>180 feet. #### 180 The pizza delivery person has 12 pizzas to deliver. If two of the stops are for orders of two pizzas and the rest are for single pizzas, how many minutes per stop does the delivery person need to average to deliver all of the pizzas in 40 minutes? If two pizzas will be delivered at two of the stops, the total number of stops will be 12-2=<<12-2=10>>10 stops. If there are 10 stops in 40 minutes, then the delivery person needs to average 40/10=<<40/10=4>>4 minutes per stop. #### 4 Amanda charges $20.00 per hour to help clean out and organize a person's home. She has 5 1.5 hours appointments on Monday, a 3-hours appointment on Tuesday and 2 2-hours appointments on Thursday. On Saturday, she will spend 6 hours at one client's house. How much money will she make this week? She has 5 1.5 hour appointments on Monday for a total of 5*1.5 = <<5*1.5=7.5>>7.5 hours She has 2 2 hour appointments on Thursday for a total of 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 hours She is working 7.5 hours on Monday, 3 hours on Tuesday, 4 hours on Thursday and 6 hours on Saturday for a total of 7.5+3+4+6 = <<7.5+3+4+6=20.5>>20.5 hours She charges $20.00 an hour and is working 20.5 hours a week for a total of 20*20.5 = $<<20*20.5=410.00>>410.00 #### 410 Leon ordered 3 sets of toy organizers for $78 per set and 2 gaming chairs for $83 each. If there is a delivery fee that is 5% of the total sales, how much did Leon pay? Three sets of toy organizers cost $78 x 3 = $<<78*3=234>>234. Two gaming chairs cost $83 x 2 = $<<83*2=166>>166 Leon's total orders amount to $234 + $166 = $<<234+166=400>>400. Then, the delivery fee is $400 x 5/100 = $<<400*5/100=20>>20. So, Leon had to pay a total of $400 + $20 = $<<400+20=420>>420. #### 420 Steve is 5'6". He grows 6 inches. How tall is he in inches? He is 5*12+6=<<5*12+6=66>>66 inches tall before the growth spurt. After growing he is now 66+6=<<66+6=72>>72 inches #### 72 Carolyn buys a silverware set with 6 knives, 12 forks, and three times as many spoons as knives. Then her friend trades her 10 knives for 6 spoons. What percentage of Carolyn's silverware is knives? First find the final number of knives Carolyn has: 10 knives + 6 knives = <<10+6=16>>16 knives Then find the initial number of spoons Carolyn has: 6 knives * 3 spoons/knife = <<6*3=18>>18 spoons Then find the final number of spoons Carolyn has: 18 spoons - 6 spoons = <<18-6=12>>12 spoons Then find the total final amount of silverware Carolyn has: 12 spoons + 16 knives + 12 forks = <<12+16+12=40>>40 pieces Then divide the number of knives by the total number of pieces and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 16 knives / 40 pieces * 100% = 40% #### 40 Tim decides to run a campaign for governor. He gets the maximum $1200 donation from 500 people, and three times as many people donated half this sum of money to his campaign. These donations together accounted for 40% of the total money that Tim raised. How much total money did he raise? He got 1200*500=$<<1200*500=600000>>600,000 from maxed donors The smaller donors donated 1200/2=$<<1200/2=600>>600 He had 500*3=<<500*3=1500>>1500 of these donors So they donated 1500*600=$<<1500*600=900000>>900,000 So large donations where worth 900,000+600,000=$<<900000+600000=1500000>>1,500,000 So he raised 1,500,000/.4=$<<1500000/.4=3750000>>3750000 #### 3750000 For a fundraiser, Nellie needs to sell 45 rolls of gift wrap. So far, she has sold 1 roll to her grandmother, 10 rolls to her uncle, and 6 rolls to a neighbor. How many more rolls of gift wrap does Nellie need to sell? The number of rolls already sold is 1 + 10 + 6 = <<1+10+6=17>>17. Nellie needs to sell 45 − 17 = 28 more rolls of gift wrap. #### 28 A show debut and 200 people buy tickets. For the second showing three times as many people show up. If each ticket cost $25 how much did the show make? The second show sold 200*3=<<200*3=600>>600 tickets So there were a total of 200+600=<<200+600=800>>800 tickets sold That means they made 800*25=$<<800*25=20000>>20,000 #### 20000 A total of 42 baby sea turtles hatched and are headed to the ocean. One-third of them got swept to the sea by a wave. How many are still on the sand? This many baby turtles are in the ocean: 42 / 3 = <<42/3=14>>14 turtles. This many baby turtles are still on the sand: 42 - 14 = <<42-14=28>>28 turtles. #### 28
