Paul has five dogs. For every 10 pounds they weigh, they need 1 pound of dog food per day. One weighs 20 pounds. One weighs 40. Another weighs 10. One weighs 30 and the final one weighs 50 pounds. How much dog food does he need each day?

The dog’s total weight is 150 because 20+40+10+30+50=

<<20+40+10+30+50=150>>150 They need 15 pounds a day because 150/10=<<150/10=15>>15 #### 15 Connor scored 2 in a game while Amy scored 4 more than Connor. Jason scored twice the score of Amy. If Connor, Amy, and Jason belong to the same team, how many points did their team have? Amy's score was 2 + 4 = <<2+4=6>>6. Jason's score was 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12. So, their team's score was 2 + 6 + 12 = <<2+6+12=20>>20. #### 20 Cid owns a mechanic shop, he charges $20 for an oil change, $30 for a repair, and $5 for a car wash. How much money did he earn if he changed the oil of 5 cars, repaired 10 cars, and washed 15 cars? The money he earned from an oil change is $20 x 5 =$ <<20*5=100>>100. The money he earned from the repair is $30 x 10 = $<<30*10=300>>300. The money he earned from the car wash is $15 x 5 = $<<15*5=75>>75. Therefore, Cid earned a total of $100 + $300 + $75 = $<<100+300+75=475>>475. #### 475 The local school is holding a big fair to raise money for 5 classes that want to go on a trip. 150 people came to the party and paid a total of $368 for entrance tickets. There was a raffle which brought in $343. The sale of cakes and drinks brought $279. At the end of the fair, the principal of the school shared the money raised between the 5 classes. How much money did each class receive? First, let’s calculate the total amount of money collected, which is 368 + 343 + 279 = $<<368+343+279=990>>990. Let us now share this sum between the 5 classes: 990 / 5 = $<<990/5=198>>198. #### 198 Jared counted 15% fewer cars than his sister Ann while they were watching the road from the school, and Ann counted 7 more cars than their friend Alfred. If Jared counted 300 cars, how many cars did all of them count? If Jared counted 300 cars, and Ann counted 15% more, then Ann counted 1.15 * 300 = 345 cars. If Ann counted 7 cars more than their friend Alfred, then Alfred counted 345 - 7 = 338 cars. The total number of cars counted by all of them will be 338 + 345 + 300 = <<338+345+300=983>>983 cars #### 983 Kerry is ready to celebrate his birthday and wants to have three cakes with his age in candles on each of them. Candles come in boxes of 12 and cost $2.5 a box. If the candles cost $5, how old is Kerry? He needed 2 boxes of candles, because 5 / 2.5 = <<5/2.5=2>>2 He needed 24 candles because 2 x 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 He is 8 because 24 / 3 = <<24/3=8>>8 #### 8 Mario has 3 hibiscus plants in his garden. The first hibiscus plant has 2 flowers. The second hibiscus plant has twice as many flowers as the first hibiscus plant. The third hibiscus plant has four times as many flowers as the second hibiscus plant. How many total blossoms does Mario have? The second hibiscus plant has 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 flowers. The third hibiscus plant has 4 x 4 = <<4*4=16>>16 flowers. Adding the first hibiscus plant’s flowers, Mario has a total of 2 + 4 + 16 = <<2+4+16=22>>22 flowers. #### 22 Stoney Hollow Middle School is taking a field trip to the zoo. There are 109 fifth graders, 115 sixth graders, and 118 seventh graders. There are 4 teachers and 2 parents from each grade coming along to chaperone on the trip. There are 72 seats on each school bus. How many buses are needed for the field trip? There are 109 fifth graders + 115 sixth graders + 118 seventh graders = <<109+115+118=342>>342 students going on the trip. There are 4 teachers + 2 parents = <<4+2=6>>6 adults going on the field trip for each grade. There are 3 grades going, so 3 grades x 6 adults/grade = <<3*6=18>>18 total adults going on the trip. There are 342 students + 18 adults = <<342+18=360>>360 people going on the trip. So, 360 people / 72 seats = <<360/72=5>>5 buses #### 5 A hotel has 10 rooms and is currently full. Each room holds a family of 3. If each person receives 2 towels, how many towels does the hotel hand out? The rooms are full so there are currently 10 rooms * 3 people = <<10*3=30>>30 people in the hotel. So the hotel hands out 30 people * 2 towels = <<30*2=60>>60 towels. #### 60 Betsy is sewing a quilt. The quilt is made up of 16 squares sewn together on one side and 16 squares sewn together on the other side. Betsy has already sewn 25% of the quilt together. How many more squares does she need to sew together? The quilt is made of 16 squares on one side and 16 on the other so 16+16 = <<16+16=32>>32 squares total She has already sewn 25% of the quilt so she has sown together .25*32 = <<25*.01*32=8>>8 squares Betsy still has 32-8 = <<32-8=24>>24 more squares to sew together #### 24
