If 3 boys each make 12 muffins for a bake sale, and 2 other girls are making 20 muffins each, how many total muffins will be for sale?

The boys baked a total of 3 x 12 =

<<3*12=36>>36 muffins. The girls baked a total of 2 x 20 = <<2*20=40>>40 muffins. Hence, there are a total of 36 + 40 = <<36+40=76>>76 muffins that will be for sale. #### 76 Carson counts 6 clouds that look like funny animals. His little brother counts three times as many clouds that look like dragons. How many clouds did they count in total? First find the total number of clouds Carson's brother counted: 6 clouds * 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 clouds Then add the number Carson counted to find the total: 18 clouds + 6 clouds = <<18+6=24>>24 clouds #### 24 It costs Molly $5 per package to send Christmas gifts to her relatives by mail. She has two parents and three brothers, and each of her brothers is married with 2 children each. If she sends one package to each relative by mail, how much does it cost her to send all of the gifts by mail to her relatives, in dollars? Molly has two parents and three brothers, which totals 2+3=<<2+3=5>>5 parents and siblings. Since each brother is married with 2 children, then each brother has a family containing 1+2=<<1+2=3>>3 people. Thus, the families of the three brothers contain an additional 3*3=<<3*3=9>>9 relatives. In total, Molly has 5+9=<<5+9=14>>14 relatives. At $5 per package, Molly will spend 14*$5=$<<14*5=70>>70 to mail the packages. #### 70 Mike changes tires on different vehicles. He changes all the tires on 12 motorcycles and all the tires on 10 cars. How many tires did he change? He changed 12*2=<<12*2=24>>24 motorcycle tires He changed 10*4=<<10*4=40>>40 car tires So he changed 24+40=<<24+40=64>>64 total tires #### 64 A football team shares a single water cooler during practice. During practice, linemen get the first water break and will drink 8 ounces each. Skill position players get the second water break and drink 6 ounces each. The team has 12 linemen and 10 skill position players. If the cooler holds 126 ounces of water, how many skill position players must wait for the cooler to be refilled before they can get a drink? The 12 linemen go first and will drink a total of 12*8 = <<12*8=96>>96 ounces of water from the cooler. This will leave 126 - 96 = <<126-96=30>>30 ounces for the skill position players. Then, the 30 ounces of water that remains is enough for 30/6 = <<30/6=5>>5 of the skill position players. Therefore, 10 - 5 = <<10-5=5>>5 skill position players must wait for the cooler to be refilled before they can get a drink. #### 5 Jerry has three times as many stickers as George. George has 6 fewer stickers than his brother Fred. If Fred has 18 stickers, how many stickers does Jerry have? George has 18 - 6 = <<18-6=12>>12 stickers. Jerry has 12 * 3 = <<12*3=36>>36 stickers. #### 36 Gabriel is looking at her marble sets. She sees that in the first set 10% of her marbles are broken. In the second set, 20% of the marbles are broken. The first set contains 50 marbles. The second set contains 60. How many marbles are broken in total? In the first set there are 5 broken marbles because 50 x .1 = <<50*.1=5>>5 In the second set there are 12 broken marbles because 60 x .2 = <<60*.2=12>>12 There are 17 broken marbles in total because 5 + 12 = <<5+12=17>>17 #### 17 Dr. Banks had 330 toothbrushes to give away to his patients. He gave away 53 toothbrushes in January. He gave away 67 toothbrushes in February. In March he gave away 46 toothbrushes. In April and May, he gave away the remaining toothbrushes, half each month. How many more toothbrushes did Dr. Banks give out in the busiest month versus the slowest month? Through March, Dr. Banks gave out 53 + 67 + 46 = <<53+67+46=166>>166 toothbrushes. Before giving away toothbrushes in April, he had 330 -166 = <<330-166=164>>164 toothbrushes remaining. Between April and May, he gave out the remaining 164 / 2 = <<164/2=82>>82 toothbrushes each month. Dr. Banks gave 82 toothbrushes in his busiest month and 46 toothbrushes during the slowest month. The difference would be 82- 46 = <<82-46=36>>36 more toothbrushes in the busiest month. #### 36 There was some money in the cookie jar. Doris spent $6 from the cookie jar. Martha spent half as much as Doris. If there were $15 left in the cookie jar, how much money, in dollars, was there in the cookie jar at first? Martha spent 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 dollars. Martha and Doris spent 6+3=<<6+3=9>>9 dollars. There were 15+9=<<15+9=24>>24 dollars in the cookie jar at first. #### 24 Lassie eats half of her bones on Saturday. On Sunday she received 10 more bones. She now has a total of 35 bones. How many bones did she start with before eating them on Saturday? 35 bones at the end - 10 received = <<35-10=25>>25 on Sunday. Lassie ate half, so multiply by two to find the number of bones at the beginning which is 25 * 2 = <<25*2=50>>50 bones. #### 50
