Simon is picking blueberries to make blueberry pies. He picks 100 blueberries from his own bushes and another 200 blueberries from blueberry bushes growing nearby. If each pie needs 100 blueberries, how many blueberry pies can Simon make?

Simon has picked a total of 100 + 200 =

<<100+200=300>>300 blueberries. This means he can make 300 blueberries / 100 blueberries per pie = <<300/100=3>>3 pies. #### 3 Dakota gets hit by a bus and has to spend 3 days in the hospital. The hospital charges her $900/day for her bed, $250/hour for two specialists to look at her 15 minutes each, and $1800 for the ambulance ride. How much is Dakota's medical bill? First find the total cost of the hospital bed by multiplying the cost per day by the number of days: $900/day * 3 days = $<<900*3=2700>>2700 Then figure out how many minutes total the two specialists looked at Dakota: 15 minutes/specialist * 2 specialists = 30 minutes Then divide the number of minutes by the number of minutes per hour and multiply it by the specialists' hourly rate to find their total charge: 30 minutes / 60 minutes/hour * $250/hour = $<<30/60*250=125>>125 Finally, add up the cost of the specialists, ambulance and bed to find Dakota's total bill: $2700 + $1800 + $125 = $<<2700+1800+125=4625>>4625 #### 4625 Emma is planning a dinner party, so she went to a shop to buy the products she needs. She bought 8 kg of cheese and 7 kg of vegetables. One kilogram of cheese costs $4 and one kilogram of vegetable costs is $2 more expensive. How much did she pay for her shopping? Emma payed 8 kg * $4/kg = $<<8*4=32>>32 for the cheese. The cost of one kilogram of vegetable is $4 + $2 = $<<4+2=6>>6. So Emma payed 7 kg * $6/kg = $<<7*6=42>>42 for vegetables. In total Emma payed $32 + $42 = $<<32+42=74>>74 for her shopping. #### 74 A developer was buying land. He bought 4 acres at $1,863 per acre. He then split the land he purchased into 9 lots. How much should he sell each lot for just to break even? His purchase cost is 4 acres * $1863 = $<<4*1863=7452>>7452. He divided the land into 9 plots, so the price per lot would be $7452 / 9 = $<<7452/9=828>>828. #### 828 Julie wants to give her favorite cousin a $2345 mountain bike for his birthday. So far, she has saved $1500. Since the birthday is still a few weeks away, Julie has time to save even more. She plans on mowing 20 lawns, delivering 600 newspapers, and walking 24 of her neighbors’ dogs. She is paid $20 for each lawn, 40 cents per newspaper, and $15 per dog. After purchasing the bike, how much money will Julie have left? Mowing lawns will earn Julie 20*20 = <<20*20=400>>400 dollars Her earnings, in dollars, from delivering newspapers will be 600 *40/100 = <<600*40/100=240>>240 dollars After walking 24 of her neighbor’s dogs, she will earn 24* 15 = <<24*15=360>>360 dollars. She will therefore earn a total of 400 + 240 + 360 = <<400+240+360=1000>>1000 dollars Combining earnings from her job with her savings will give Julie 1000 + 1500 = <<1000+1500=2500>>2500 dollars Subtracting the cost of the mountain bike from the total will leave Julie with a balance of 2500 - 2345 = <<2500-2345=155>>155 dollars #### 155 There are 13 3-year-olds, 20 4-year-olds, 15 5-year-olds, and 22 six-year-olds at a particular Sunday school. If the 3 and 4-year-olds are in one class and the 5 and 6-year-olds are in another class, what is the average class size? First find the total number of 3- and 4-year-olds: 13 kids + 20 kids = <<13+20=33>>33 kids Then find the total number of 5- and 6-year-olds: 15 kids + 22 kids = <<15+22=37>>37 kids Then add the two class sizes: 33 kids + 37 kids = <<33+37=70>>70 kids Then divide the number of kids by the number of classes to find the average class size: 70 kids / 2 classes = <<70/2=35>>35 kids/class #### 35 Maya's organization hosted a weekly farmers' market to raise money for the church choir. They sold broccolis, carrots, spinach, and cauliflowers. After adding together all of their earnings, Maya found out that they had made $380. The organization made $57 from broccoli and the sales of the carrots are twice as much as the sales of broccoli. Then, their sales for the spinach is $16 more than half of the sales of carrots. How much did they make from cauliflower sales? The sales of the carrot is 57 x 2 = $<<57*2=114>>114 Half the sales of carrot is $114 / 2 = $<<114/2=57>>57. So, the sales of the spinach is $57 + $16 = <<57+16=73>>73 The total sales of the broccolis, carrots, spinach is $57 + $114 + $73 =$<<57+114+73=244>>244. They made $380 - $244 = $<<380-244=136>>136 from cauliflower sales. #### 136 Cody has an insurance plan that will give him a discount if he logs a total of 100,000 steps. For the first week, he logs 1,000 steps a day. He increases his daily number of steps by 1,000 every week. After 4 weeks how far away from his step goal will he be? For the first week, Cody will log a total of 7 * 1,000 = <<7*1000=7000>>7,000 steps. For the second week, Cody will log a total of 7 * 2,000 = <<7*2000=14000>>14,000 steps. For the third week, Cody will log a total of 7 * 3,000 = <<7*3000=21000>>21,000 steps. For the fourth week, Cody will log a total of 7 * 4,000 = <<7*4000=28000>>28,000 steps. For the month, Cody will log a total of 7,000 + 14,000 + 21,000 + 28,000 = <<7000+14000+21000+28000=70000>>70,000 steps. This means, Cody will be 100,000 - 70,000 = <<100000-70000=30000>>30,000 steps short of his goal. #### 30000 The ratio of cows to bulls in a barn is 10:27. If there are 555 cattle on the farm, how many bulls are on the farm? The total ratio of cattle on the farm is 10+27 = <<10+27=37>>37 Since the fraction that represents bulls from the total ratio is 27/37, the number of bulls on the farm is 27/37*555 = <<27/37*555=405>>405 #### 405 Monica way studying for an exam. She studied for 2 hours on Wednesday and three times as long on Thursday. On Friday Monica studied half of the time she studied on Thursday. During the weekend (two days) Monica studied as much again as Wednesday, Thursday and Friday combined. How much time did she spend studying in total during the five days? On Thursday, Monica studied for 3 * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 hours. On Friday, Monica studied half as much, so 6 / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3 hours. Till the weekend, Monica studied in total for 2 + 6 + 3 = <<2+6+3=11>>11 hours. That means, on the weekend Monica studied the same amount of time, so in total, she studied for 11 + 11 = <<11+11=22>>22 hours. #### 22
