Celia is creating a budget for the next 4 weeks. She wants to spend no more than $100 a week on food. For rent for her apartment, she plans to spend $1500. She has $30 set aside for video streaming services for the month. She also has $50 planned for one month of cell phone usage. After she adds up all of her spending for the month she wants to set aside 10% of it to put into savings. How much money is Celia going to put into her savings account?
Celia has budgeted $100 a week for 4 weeks for food, $100 x 4 = $
<<100*4=400>>400 worth of food for the month. She has one monthly cost of $1500 for her rent + $30 for video streaming services + $50 for her cell phone = $<<1500+30+50=1580>>1580 of single monthly costs. Celia wants to set aside 10% of the $400 + $1580 = $<<400+1580=1980>>1980 for her savings account. 10% of her savings account is .10 x 1980 = $<<.10*1980=198>>198 to add to her savings account. #### 198 Due to a drought, Jerry's household can only use 1000 gallons of water during July. Jerry uses 100 gallons for drinking and cooking and 20 gallons per shower. He wants to fill his pool, which measures 10 feet by 10 feet by 6 feet. If each gallon of water fills 1 cubic foot of the pool, how many showers can Jerry take in July? First find the total volume of the pool: 10 feet * 10 feet * 6 feet = <<10*10*6=600>>600 cubic feet. This is also the number of gallons he needs to fill the pool. Subtract the pool water and the drinking and cooking water from the total amount of water Jerry is allowed to use: 1000 gallons - 600 gallons - 100 gallons = <<1000-600-100=300>>300 gallons Then divide the amount of water Jerry has left to use for showers by the amount of water per shower to find how many showers he can take: 300 gallons / 20 gallons/shower = <<300/20=15>>15 showers #### 15 Fabian went to a park to get some fresh air. He decided to walk there for 3 hours. Every hour he covers 5 kilometers. How many more hours did Fabian need to walk to reach a total of 30 kilometers? To walk 30 kilometers, Fabian would need to walk for 30 km / 5 km/hour = <<30/5=6>>6 hours. As he had already walked for 3 hours, he would need to walk for another 6 hours - 3 hours = 3 hours. #### 3 Sue and her sister buy a $2,100 car. They agree to split the cost based on the percentage of days use. Sue's sister will drive the car 4 days a week and Sue will get the rest of the days. How much does Sue have to pay? Sue will drive 7-4=<<7-4=3>>3 days a week So she will pay 2100*3/7=$<<2100*3/7=900>>900 #### 900 In preparation for the church fundraiser, Julia bakes one less than 5 cakes per day for 6 days. Unfortunately, every other day, Julia's brother, Clifford, sneaks into Julia's house and eats one of Julia's cakes. At the end of 6 days, how many cakes does Julia have remaining? Julia baked one less than 5 cakes per day, or 5-1=<<5-1=4>>4 cakes per day. For 6 days, Julia baked 4 cakes per day, for a total of 4*6=<<4*6=24>>24 cakes. Over 6 days, every other day, Clifford sneaks into Julia's house and eats one of Julia's cakes resulting in disappearance of 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 cakes. At the end of 6 days, Julia has 24-3=<<24-3=21>>21 cakes remaining. #### 21 Wendy works at a chocolate factory packing chocolates. She can package 2 dozen chocolates in 5 minutes. How many individual chocolates can she package in 4 hours? There are 60 minutes in an hour and she packs chocolate in 5-minute increments. So that's 60/5 = <<60/5=12>>12 5 minute increments in 1 hour 12 chocolates make 1 dozen and she packages 2 dozen in 5 minutes so that's 12*2 = <<12*2=24>>24 chocolates in 5 minutes 12 5 minute increments are in an hour and she packages 24 chocolates in 5 minutes so she can package 12*24 = <<12*24=288>>288 individual chocolates in 1 hour If she packages 288 individual chocolates in 1 hour then in 4 hours she can package 288*4 = <<288*4=1152>>1,152 individual chocolates #### 1152 Kenny plans to mow lawns all summer, and then use the profits to buy video-games and books. He charges $15 per lawn. The video-games are $45 each. The books are $5 each. At the end of the summer he has mowed 35 lawns. There are 5 video-games he really wants, and then he will use the rest for books. How many books can he buy? Kenny earns $525 because 35 x 15 = <<35*15=525>>525 He spends $225 on video games because 5 x 45 = <<5*45=225>>225 He has $300 left because 525 - 225 = <<525-225=300>>300 He can buy 60 books because 300 / 5 = <<300/5=60>>60 #### 60 James bought a gallon of milk for $3, a bunch of bananas for $2, and paid 20% sales tax. How much money did James spend? First add up James' purchases that is $3 + $2 = $<<3+2=5>>5. So, the amount of sales tax is $5 * .2 = $<<5*.2=1>>1. Hence, James spent a total of $5 + $1 = $<<5+1=6>>6. #### 6 Pat's Pool Supply has three times as many swimming pools as Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store. If Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store has 200 pools, how many pools do they have in total? Since Pat's Ark & Athletic Wear store has 200 pools, Pat's Pool Supply has 3*200 = <<3*200=600>>600 swimming pools. Together, they have 600+200 = <<600+200=800>>800 swimming pools. #### 800 Luke pays a school fee. His mother gave him one $50 bill, two $20 bills, and three $10 bills. His father gave him four $50 bills, one $20 bill, and one $10 bill. If his parents gave him the exact amount for the school fee, how much is the school fee? Luke's parents gave him 1 + 4 = <<1+4=5>>5 $50 bills. These $50 bills amount to $50 x 5 = $<<50*5=250>>250. His parents gave him 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 $20 bills. These $20 bills amount to $20 x 3 = $<<20*3=60>>60. His parents gave him 3 + 1 = <<3+1=4>>4 $10 bills. These $10 bills amount to $10 x 4 = $<<10*4=40>>40. Therefore, Luke's school fee is $250 + $60 + $40 = $<<250+60+40=350>>350. #### 350
