Bryan bought 5 t-shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $1500. If a t-shirt costs $100, how much does each pair of pants cost?

The 5 t-shirts cost $100*5=$

<<100*5=500>>500. The 4 pairs of pants cost $1500-$500=$1000. Each pair of pants costs $1000/4=$<<1000/4=250>>250. #### 250 Three train stations are 2 hours apart from one another. Kira travels from the first station to the third, taking a 30 minutes break at the second station. What's the total time, in minutes, that Kira takes to travel between the first and third station? Travel between the three stations takes 2+2 = <<2+2=4>>4 hours The total time for the journey is 4*60 = <<4*60=240>>240 minutes. If Kira takes a 30-minute break, her journey takes 240+30 = <<240+30=270>>270 minutes #### 270 The snack machine at Richmond High School sells candy bars for $2 each and chips for $.50 each. How much money, in dollars, will 5 students need in total if each of them gets 1 candy bar and 2 bags of chips? The students buy 2*5=<<2*5=10>>10 bags of chips. 10 bags of chips cost 10*0.5=<<10*0.5=5>>5 dollars. 5 candy bars cost 5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 dollars. They will need 10+5=<<10+5=15>>15 dollars. #### 15 Lucy is listening to her favorite album while jumping rope. She can jump the rope 1 time per second. If the album's songs are all 3.5 minutes long and there are 10 songs, how many times will she jump rope? She can jump her rope 60 times a minute because 60 x 1 = <<60*1=60>>60 The album is 35 minutes long because 10 x 3.5 = <<10*3.5=35>>35 She will jump her rope 2100 times during the album because 35 x 60 = <<35*60=2100>>2100 #### 2100 John spent 3 years of his life exploring the jungle. He then spent half as much time writing up notes about his travels. It took .5 years to write his book once he was done with the notes. How long did he spend on his book and exploring? He spent 3*.5=<<3*.5=1.5>>1.5 years compiling notes. So it took him 3+1.5+.5=<<3+1.5+.5=5>>5 years for everything #### 5 A marathon is 26 miles. He can run the first 10 miles in 1 hour. For the remaining miles he runs at 80% that pace. How long does the race take? There are 26-10=<<26-10=16>>16 miles left for the rest of the race He runs 10*.8=<<10*.8=8>>8 miles per hour So it takes him 16/8=<<16/8=2>>2 hours So in total it takes 1+2=<<1+2=3>>3 hours #### 3 Jenny wants to know whether bone meal or cow manure makes better fertilizer. The control plant with no fertilizer grows 36 inches high, the plant with bone meal grows to 125% of the height of the control plant, and the cow manure plant grows to 200% of the height of the bone meal plant. How tall is the cow manure plant in inches? First find the height of the bone meal plant: 36 inches * 125% = <<36*125*.01=45>>45 inches Then find the height of the cow manure plant: 45 inches * 200% = <<45*200*.01=90>>90 inches #### 90 Geric had twice as many bills as Kyla who has 2 fewer bills than Jessa. After giving 3 bills to Geric, Jessa has 7 bills left. How many bills did Geric have at the beginning? Jessa had 7 + 3 = <<7+3=10>>10 bills before she gave 3 to Geric. Kyla had 10 - 2 = <<10-2=8>>8 bills. So, Geric had 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 bills. #### 16 A group of people pays $720 for admission tickets to an amusement park. The price of an adult ticket is $15, and a child ticket is $8. There are 25 more adults than children. How many children are in the group? Let X be the number of children in the group. The number of adults in the group is X+<<+25=25>>25. The group pays 8*X + 15*(X+25) = $720. Multiplying through the parentheses, we get 8X + 15X + 375 = $720 Combining like terms, we get 23X + 375 = 720 Subtracting 375 from both sides, we get 23X = 720 - 375 = $345 Dividing both sides by 23, we get X = $345 / 23 = <<345/23=15>>15 children. #### 15 Samantha, Aira, and Joe received 6 rubber bands each after they divided their bands equally. If Samantha had 5 more bands than Aira and Aira had 1 fewer band than Joe, how many rubber bands did Aira have? Samantha, Aira, and Joe have 6 x 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 rubber bands altogether. If we let x be the number of bands that Aira had, then Samantha had x + 5. Since Aira had 1 fewer band than Joe, then Joe had x + 1. Since the total number of bands is 18, then the equation is x + (x + 5) + (x + 1) = 18. By simplifying the left side of the equation, we have 3x + 6 = <<3*+6=18>>18. Putting all the constant terms on the right side gives 3x = 12. So the value of x is 12/3 = 4. Hence, Aira had 4 rubber bands. #### 4
