Haman’s father has an egg business supplying the local market. On a Wednesday morning, his father sends him to go and collect 10 trays of eggs for sale from their store. While loading the eggs into the car, he accidentally drops two trays. He calls his father telling him this, and is told to add 7 more trays for sale. How many eggs were sold that day?

When Haman collected 10 trays and dropped 2 trays, he was left with 10 trays - 2 trays =

<<10-2=8>>8 trays. When he added 7 more trays, the total number of trays became 8 trays + 7 trays = <<8+7=15>>15 trays. Since each tray contains 36 eggs, the total number of eggs to be sold is 36 eggs/tray * 15 trays = 540 eggs. #### 540 A couple opened a savings account. The husband gives $335 every week while the wife gives $225 every week. After 6 months of saving (assume 4 weeks in each month), they decided to divide half of the couple's savings into their four children's savings accounts. How much does each child receive? The husband saves $335 x 4 = $<<335*4=1340>>1340 a month. The wife saves $225 x4 = $<<225*4=900>>900 a month. Together, they save $1340 + $900 = $<<1340+900=2240>>2240 in a month. In 6 months, their total savings is $2240 x 6 = $<<2240*6=13440>>13440. Half of the couple's savings is 13440 / 2 = $<<13440/2=6720>>6720. Therefore, each child will receive 6720 / 4 = $<<6720/4=1680>>1680. #### 1680 Willie came back from Europe with 70 euros. Normally 5 euros is worth 1 dollar, but the money exchange at the airport will only give Willie 5/7ths of the official exchange rate. How many dollars does Willie get? First first out how many euros Willie should have gotten using the official exchange rate: 70 euros / 5 euros/dollar = $<<70/5=14>>14 Then multiply this quantity by 5/7 to find how many dollars he actually got: 14 dollars * 5/7 = $2 * 5= $10 #### 10 Cody goes to the store and buys $40 worth of stuff. The taxes were 5%. After taxes, he got an $8 discount. Cody and his friend split the final price equally. How much did Cody pay? The taxes were 40*.05=$<<40*.05=2>>2. So the price was 40+2=$<<40+2=42>>42. He got a discount so the price he paid was 42-8=$<<42-8=34>>34. Since he paid half his price was 34/2=$<<34/2=17>>17. #### 17 Kelly has 8 chickens that lay 3 eggs each per day. If Kelly sells these eggs for $5 a dozen. How much money will she make in 4 weeks if she sells all her eggs? Each chicken lays 7 * 3 = <<7*3=21>>21 eggs a week Each week all the chickens lay 21 * 8 = <<21*8=168>>168 eggs In 4 weeks all the chickens lay 168 * 4 = <<168*4=672>>672 eggs 672 eggs equal 672 / 12 = <<672/12=56>>56 dozens. Kelly would make 56 * 5 = <<56*5=280>>280 dollars #### 280 The number of trees is three times more than the number of stones in the courtyard. There are also twice as many birds in the trees as the combined number of trees and stones in the yard. If the number of stones is 40, how many birds are in the trees? The number of trees is three times more than the number of rocks, meaning there are 3*40 = <<3*40=120>>120 more trees than rocks in the courtyard. The total number of trees in the yard is 120+40 = <<120+40=160>>160 Combined, there are 160+40 = <<160+40=200>>200 trees and stones in the courtyard. Since the number of birds is twice the combined number of trees and stones in the courtyard, there are 2*200 =<<2*200=400>>400 birds on the trees. #### 400 A florist offers for sale 75 narcissus flowers and 90 chrysanthemums. Using all the flowers, how many bouquets containing 5 flowers each can he make? The florist can make 75/5 = <<75/5=15>>15 bouquets of narcissus. The florist can make 90/5 = <<90/5=18>>18 bouquets of chrysanthemums. The florist can make 15 +18 = <<15+18=33>>33 bouquets in total. #### 33 Dennis lives two floors above Charlie. Charlie lives on a floor whose number is 1/4 Frank's floor number. Frank lives on the 16th floor. What floor does Dennis live on? First find Charlie's floor number by dividing Frank's floor number by 4: 16 / 4 = <<16/4=4>>4 Then add 2 to find Dennis' floor number: 4 + 2 = <<4+2=6>>6 #### 6 Grandma wants to order 5 personalized backpacks for each of her grandchildren's first days of school. The backpacks are 20% off of $20.00 and having their names monogrammed on the back pack will cost $12.00 each. How much will the backpacks cost? She needs 5 backpacks that are $20.00 each so that's 5*20 = $<<5*20=100.00>>100.00 The backpacks are currently 20% off so that's 100*.20 = $<<100*.20=20.00>>20.00 off The backpacks costs $100.00 but are $20.00 off so they will cost $100-$20 = $<<100-20=80.00>>80.00 She wants each of the 5 backpacks to have her grandchild's name monogramed on them which costs $12.00 each so that's 5*$12 = $<<5*12=60.00>>60.00 The backpacks cost $80.00 and the monogramming costs $60.00 so together they will cost $80+$60 = $<<80+60=140.00>>140.00 #### 140 John decides to stop delivering the newspapers he is supposed to deliver and instead steals them to recycle them for cash. The Monday-Saturday papers weigh 8 ounces each. The Sunday paper weighs twice as much. He is supposed to deliver 250 papers a day. He doesn't deliver them for 10 weeks. If one ton of paper recycles for $20, how much did he make? We know that 7-1=6 days the paper weighs 8 ounces So those contribute 6*8=<<6*8=48>>48 ounces per week So in total a weekly delivery of papers weighs 48+16=<<48+16=64>>64 ounces That means it weighs 64/16=<<64/16=4>>4 pounds So each week he delivers 4*250=<<4*250=1000>>1000 pounds of paper So in 10 weeks, he delivers 10*1000=<<10*1000=10000>>10000 pounds of paper That weighs 10000/2000=<<10000/2000=5>>5 tons of paper So he makes 5*20=$<<5*20=100>>100 from recycling the paper #### 100
