At the gym, every day, there are 300 towels laid out for guest use. Each guest is given 1 towel during their visit. The gym is open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. In the first hour, 50 guests enter the gym. In the second hour, 20% more guests enter than during the first hour. In the third hour, 25% more guests enter than in the second hour. In the fourth hour, one third more guests enter than in the third hour. In total, how many towels do they need to wash that evening?

In the second hour, the number of towels given out is 50 x 1.20 =

<<50*1.20=60>>60. In the third hour, the number of towels given out is 60 x 1.25 = <<60*1.25=75>>75. In the fourth hour, one-third of the guests of the third hour is 75 / 3 = <<75/3=25>>25. In the fourth hour, the number of towels given out is 75 + 25 = <<75+25=100>>100. In total, including the first hour guests, they need to wash this many towels: 50 + 60 + 75 + 100 = <<50+60+75+100=285>>285. #### 285 The chef has 60 eggs. He puts 10 eggs in the fridge and uses the rest to make cakes. If he used 5 eggs to make one cake, how many cakes did the chef make? After putting 10 eggs in the fridge, the chef has 60 - 10 = <<60-10=50>>50 eggs left to make cakes. Since it takes 5 eggs to make one cake, the chef can make 50 eggs ÷ 5 eggs per cake = <<50/5=10>>10 cakes. #### 10 Jim decides to buy mayo in bulk. He can buy 1 gallon of mayo at Costco for 8 dollars. At the normal store, a 16-ounce bottle costs $3. How much money does he save by buying the gallon container? A gallon is 1*128=<<1*128=128>>128 ounces So he needs to buy 128/16=<<128/16=8>>8 of the small bottles That would cost 8*3=<<8*3=24>>24 dollars So he saves 24-8=$<<24-8=16>>16 #### 16 Spongebob works in a burger shop. If he sells 30 burgers for $2 each and 12 large fries for $1.5. How much will Spongebob earn for the day? Spongebob earned 30 x $2 = $<<30*2=60>>60 for the burgers. He also earned 12 x $1.5 = $<<12*1.5=18>>18 for the large fries. Therefore, Spongebob earned $60 + $18 = $<<60+18=78>>78 for the day. #### 78 Hammond carves life-sized statues out of marble. His latest set of four statues started with an 80-pound block of marble. The first statue he carved weighed 10 pounds. The second statue weighed 18. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount. The marble he discarded after carving it off the statues weighed 22 pounds. How much did each of the remaining statues Hammond carved weigh? Hammond’s statues weighed 80 - 22 = <<80-22=58>>58 pounds after the discarded marble was carved off. Minus the first statue, the statues weighed 58 - 10 = <<58-10=48>>48 pounds. Minus the second statue, the statues weighed 48 - 18 = <<48-18=30>>30 pounds. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount, so each weighed 30 / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 pounds. #### 15 Bruno wants to buy two and one-half dozens of pens. How many pens will he have? Since a dozen is equal to 12, then two dozens are equal to 12 x 2= <<24=24>>24. One-half dozen is equal to 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6. Thus, Bruno will have a total of 24 + 6 = <<24+6=30>>30 pens. #### 30 A party venue has 4 tables that seat 6 people each, 16 tables that seat 4 people each, and 8 round tables that seat 10 people each. What is the total capacity of all the tables at the party venue? Four 6-seater tables can accommodate 4 x 6 = <<4*6=24>>24 people. Sixteen 4-seater tables can accommodate 16 x 4 = <<16*4=64>>64 people. Eight 10-seater table can accommodate 8 x 10 = <<8*10=80>>80 people. Therefore, all the tables in the party venue can accommodate 24 + 64 + 80 =<<24+64+80=168>>168 people. #### 168 Julian has 400 legos and wants to make lego models of two identical airplanes. If each airplane model requires 240 legos, how many more legos does Julian need? Two aeroplanes require 240 legos/airplane x 2 airplanes = <<240*2=480>>480 legos. Julian needs 480 legos - 400 legos = <<480-400=80>>80 more legos #### 80 There are 42 apples in a crate. 12 crates of apples were delivered to a factory. 4 apples were rotten and had to be thrown away. The remaining apples were packed into boxes that could fit 10 apples each. How many boxes of apples were there? The total number of apples delivered was 42 × 12 = <<42*12=504>>504. There are 504 - 4 = <<504-4=500>>500 apples were left remaining. Finally, there are 500 ÷ 10 = <<500/10=50>>50 boxes of apples. #### 50 Mikey likes his honey cluster of oats cereal. In each spoonful, there are 4 clusters of oats. In each bowl of cereal, he gets 25 spoonfuls of cereal. If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, how many bowlfuls of cereal are in each box? If each spoonful contains 4 clusters of oats, and each bowl of cereal has 25 spoonfuls, then in each bowl there are 4*25=<<4*25=100>>100 clusters of oats. And If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, then there are 500/100=<<500/100=5>>5 bowlfuls of cereal in every box. #### 5
