Last week, Arman worked 35 hours for 5 days at $10 per hour. This week, he will receive an increase of $0.5 per hour if he can work for 40 hours. Suppose he can work for 40 hours this week, how much will Arman receive for working two weeks?

Last week, Arman earned 35 hours x $10/hour = $

<<35*10=350>>350. This week, Arman could earn 40 hours x $10.50/hour = $<<40*10.5=420>>420. So, he will receive $350 + $420 = $<<350+420=770>>770 for working two weeks. #### 770 Joseph drives his car at 50 mph for 2.5 hours. Kyle drives his car at 62 mph for 2 hours. How many more miles does Joseph drive than Kyle? Joseph travels for 50 * 2.5 = <<50*2.5=125>>125 miles. Kyle travels for 62 * 2 = <<62*2=124>>124 miles. Joseph drives for 125 - 124 = <<125-124=1>>1 mile more than Kyle. #### 1 Henry had some games, and he gave six of them to Neil. Now, Henry has 4 times more games than Neil. If Neil had 7 games at first, how many games did Henry have at first? After getting six games from Henry, Neil has 6+7=<<6+7=13>>13 games. Now, Henry has 13*4=<<13*4=52>>52 games. Henry had 52+6=<<52+6=58>>58 games at first. #### 58 Ryan is considering buying a new multivitamin brand. Each pill has 50 mg of Vitamin A in it. The recommended daily serving of Vitamin A is 200 mg. How many pills does Ryan need to hit the recommended amount for the week? As the daily goal is 200mg and there are 7 days in a week, this means Ryan needs to take 7*200=<<200*7=1400>>1400mg in a week. As there is 50mg per pill, this means Ryan needs to take 1400/50= <<1400/50=28>>28 pills every week. #### 28 The total number of lions in a park is twice the number of leopards in the same park. The number of elephants is half the combined number of lions and leopards. Calculate the total population of the three animals in the park if the number of lions is 200. If there are 200 lions in the park, which is twice the number of leopards in the park, there are 200/2 = <<200/2=100>>100 leopards in the park. The total population of lions and leopards in the park is 200 lions + 100 leopards = <<200+100=300>>300 The number of elephants in the park is 1/2 the total population of lions and leopards; thus, there are 300/2 = <<300/2=150>>150 elephants in the park. There are a total of 150+300 = <<150+300=450>>450 animals in the park. #### 450 Every day, Lou works out by running three miles on a circular track that is one-quarter of a mile long. His wife, Rosie, also runs on the same track at the same time as her husband, but she runs at twice the speed of her husband. During their workout, how many times does Rosie circle the track? If Lou runs 3 miles during his workout on a track that is 1/4 miles long, then he circles the track 3/(1/4)=12 times. If Rosie runs twice as fast as Lou, then over the same time period, she runs 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 miles. If Rosie runs 6 miles on the 1/4 mile track, then she circles the track 6/(1/4)=<<6/(1/4)=24>>24 times. #### 24 A chocolate cake needs 3 eggs per cake. Cheesecake requires 8 eggs for each cheesecake. How many more eggs are needed for 9 cheesecakes than are needed for 5 chocolate cakes? Eggs in cheesecakes = 8 * 9 = <<8*9=72>>72 Eggs in chocolate cake = 5 * 3 = <<5*3=15>>15 72 - 15 = <<72-15=57>>57 Nine cheesecakes need 57 more eggs than 5 chocolate cakes. #### 57 In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, 1 lizard is worth 8 bottle caps, 3 lizards are worth 5 gallons of water, and 1 horse is worth 80 gallons of water. Marla can scavenge for 20 bottle caps each day, but needs to pay 4 bottle caps per night for food and shelter. How many days does it take Marla to collect all the bottlecaps she needs to buy a horse? First find how many lizards you get for one gallon of water: 3 lizards / 5 gallons = <<3/5=.6>>.6 lizards/gallon Then figure out how many lizards 80 gallons of water is worth: 80 gallons * .6 lizards/gallon = <<80*.6=48>>48 lizards Then figure out how many bottle caps 48 lizards is worth: 48 lizards * 8 bottle caps/lizard = <<48*8=384>>384 bottle caps Then figure out how many bottle caps Marla can save each day by subtracting the number she spends from the number she finds: 20 bottlecaps/day - 4 bottlecaps/day = <<20-4=16>>16 bottlecaps/day Finally, divide the number of bottle caps Marla needs by the number she saves each day: 384 bottle caps / 16 bottle caps/day = <<384/16=24>>24 days #### 24 Fran's school just instituted a school uniform policy. Each student needs to buy five complete uniforms, each consisting of pants, shirt, tie and socks. The pants cost $20, the shirt costs twice as much as the pants, the tie costs 1/5 as much as the shirt and the socks cost $3/pair. How many dollars will each student need to spend? First find the total cost of the shirt: $20 * 2 = $<<20*2=40>>40 Then find the total cost of the tie: $40 / 5 = $<<40/5=8>>8 Then find the cost of one uniform set: $20 + $40 + $8 + $3 = $<<20+40+8+3=71>>71 Then multiply the cost of each set by the number of sets each student has to buy to find the total cost: $71/set * 5 sets = $<<71*5=355>>355 #### 355 Since it is Maurice's turn to host this year’s neighborhood cookout, he goes to the local wholesale club to buy ground beef. The wholesale club sells ground beef in 5-pound packages. Maurice wants to make one 2-pound burger for each person that attends, so he purchases 4 packages of ground beef. How many people can Maurice invite to the cookout so that everybody, including himself, gets a burger? Maurice buys 4 * 5 = <<4*5=20>>20 pounds of ground beef. If 2 pounds of ground beef make a burger, then he can make 20/2 = 10 burgers. Given that Maurice will have 1 burger, he can invite 10-1 = <<10-1=9>>9 people #### 9
