Perry wants to buy a new modern bedroom set for $2000. He received $200.00 in gift cards over the holidays that he can use toward the set. The store is currently offering the entire set at 15% off. If he signs up for the store credit card and uses it to buy the set, he will save an additional 10% off on the discounted set. What is the final price of the set?

The bedroom set is $2000 and it’s currently 15% off so 2000*.15 = $

<<2000*.15=300.00>>300.00 off So the new price of the set is 2000-300 = $<<2000-300=1700.00>>1,700.00 He signs up for the credit card so that’s 10% off so .10*1700 = $<<10*.01*1700=170.00>>170.00 Now the set is 1700-170 = $<<1700-170=1530.00>>1,530.00 He has a $200.00 gift card which brings the price to 1530-200 = $1,330.00 #### 1330 There are 200 more red apples than green apples in a grocery store. A truck arrives and delivers another 340 green apples. If there were originally 32 green apples, how many more green apples than red apples are there in the store now? There are 200 + 32 = <<200+32=232>>232 red apples. After the delivery there are 340 + 32 = <<340+32=372>>372 green apples There are now 372 - 232 = <<372-232=140>>140 more green apples than red apples now. #### 140 Edith has 80 novels stuffed on her schoolbook shelf, half as many as the number of writing books she has stuffed in her suitcase. How many novels and writing books does Edith have altogether? Edith's number of writing books is 80*2 = <<80*2=160>>160, twice the number of novel books she has. Altogether, Edith has 160+80 = <<160+80=240>>240 books. #### 240 Yanna baked twenty butter cookies and forty biscuits in the morning. In the afternoon, she baked ten butter cookies and twenty biscuits. How many more biscuits did she bake than butter cookies? There were 20 + 10 = <<20+10=30>>30 butter cookies. And, there were 40 + 20 = <<40+20=60>>60 biscuits. Therefore, she baked 60 - 30 = <<60-30=30>>30 more biscuits than butter cookies. #### 30 Thomas owns 200 books. He decides to sell them and use the money to buy records. Each book sells for $1.5. A record costs $3. If he buys 75 records, how much money does he have left over? He makes $300 selling the books because 200 x 1.5 = <<200*1.5=300>>300 He spends $225 on records because 75 x 3 = <<75*3=225>>225 He has $75 left because 300 - 225 = <<300-225=75>>75 #### 75 There are 14 caterpillars on the tree. 4 more eggs hatch, and baby caterpillars climb out to munch on the leaves. 8 fat caterpillars leave the tree to cocoon themselves to be butterflies. How many caterpillars are left on the tree? With the new babies, there are 14 + 4 = <<14+4=18>>18 caterpillars. With the big caterpillars leaving, there are 18 - 8 = <<18-8=10>>10 caterpillars on the tree. #### 10 The first tank is 300 liters filled while the second tank is 450 liters filled. The second tank is only 45% filled. If the two tanks have the same capacity, how many more liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks? Since 450 liters represents 45%, then each 1% is equal to 450 liters/45 = <<450/45=10>>10 liters. Hence, the capacity of each tank is 10 liters x 100 = <<10*100=1000>>1000 liters. So, the first tank needs 1000 - 300 = <<1000-300=700>>700 liters of water more. While the second tank needs 1000 - 450 = <<1000-450=550>>550 liters more. Therefore, 700 + 550 = <<700+550=1250>>1250 liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks. #### 1250 John's weight bench can support 1000 pounds. He wants to make sure to stay 20% under that weight for safety. If he weighs 250 pounds how much weight can he put on the bar? He wants to stay 1000*.2=<<1000*.2=200>>200 pounds under the max So he wants to stay under 1000-200=<<1000-200=800>>800 pounds That means he can put 800-250=<<800-250=550>>550 pounds on the bar #### 550 Carly is making a beaded corset. She's going to add 50 rows of purple beads with 20 beads per row, 40 rows of blue beads with 18 beads per row, and 80 gold beads. If beads cost $1 per 10 beads, how much do all the beads she bought cost? First find the total number of purple beads Carly needs: 50 rows * 20 beads/row = <<50*20=1000>>1000 beads Then find the total number of blue beads Carly needs: 40 rows * 18 beads/row = <<40*18=720>>720 beads Then add the number of each color she needs to find the total number she needs: 1000 beads + 720 beads + 80 beads = <<1000+720+80=1800>>1800 beads Then divide the number of beads by 10 to find the cost: 1800 beads / 10 beads/$1 = $<<1800/10=180>>180 #### 180 A box of rainbow nerds contains 10 purple candies, 4 more yellow candies, and 2 fewer green candies than yellow candies. How many rainbow nerds are there in the box? There are 10 + 4 = <<10+4=14>>14 yellow candies. There are 14 - 2 = <<14-2=12>>12 green candies. There are 10 + 14 + 12 = <<10+14+12=36>>36 rainbow nerds candies in the box. #### 36
