Charles is moving from Springfield, which has 482,653 people, to Greenville, which has 119,666 fewer people. What is the total population of Springfield and Greenville?

Greenville has 482,653 - 119,666 =

<<482653-119666=362987>>362,987 people. So, the total population of Springfield and Greenville is 482,653 + 362,987 = <<482653+362987=845640>>845,640. #### 845,640 Macy's is selling shirts that have been reduced to $6. This price is at 25% of the original price. What was the original price? The original price is x. The discount is 100% - 25% remaining = 75% discount. The discount is 75%, so the original price is x - .75x = .25x. The sale price is $6, so $6 = .25x, which is the same as 6/.25 = x. X = $<<24=24>>24. #### 24 Carmen had 28 cats and 18 dogs before she gave 3 of the cats up for adoption. How many more cats than dogs does Carmen have now? First find the number of cats Carmen has left: 28 cats - 3 cats = <<28-3=25>>25 cats Then subtract the number of dogs from the number of cats to find the difference: 25 cats - 18 dogs = <<25-18=7>>7 more cats #### 7 James supercharges his car which increases his car's speed by 30%. He then cuts weight by 15% which increases the speed a further 10 mph. If his car's original speed was 150 mph what is the new speed? He increased his speed by 150*.3=45 mph So his new speed was 150+45=<<150+45=195>>195 mph He increased it a further 10 mph so his new speed is 195+10=<<195+10=205>>205 mph #### 205 During a soccer game, in the first half, Team A scored 8 points, and Team B scored only half as many points. In the second half, Team B was able to get as many points as Team A in the first half, and Team A scored only 2 goals less than Team B. How many goals did both teams score during the whole match? During the first half Team, B scored only 8 * 0.5 = <<8*0.5=4>>4 points. In the second half Team A scored 2 goals less than Team B, so they scored 8 - 2 = <<8-2=6>>6 points. So in total both teams scored 8 + 4 + 6 + 8 = <<8+4+6+8=26>>26 points. #### 26 Two years ago, Jared was twice as old as Tom. If Tom will be 30 in five years, how old is Jared now? Tom will be 30 in 5 years so now he is 30-5 = <<30-5=25>>25 2 years ago Tom was 25-2 = <<25-2=23>>23 At that time, Jared was twice as old as Tom so Jared was 23*2 = 46 Two years have since passed so Jared is now 46+2 = <<46+2=48>>48 #### 48 Gunther needs to clean his apartment. It takes him 45 minutes to vacuum the carpets, 60 minutes to dust the furniture, 30 minutes to mop the floors in his kitchen, and 5 minutes to brush each cat, and he has three cats. If he has 3 hours of free time available, and he uses this time to clean his apartment, how many minutes of free time will he have left after he cleans the apartment? It will take 3 * 5 = <<3*5=15>>15 minutes to brush his cats. All together, it will take 45 + 60 + 30 + 15 = <<45+60+30+15=150>>150 minutes to clean his apartment. In three hours, there are 60 * 3 = <<60*3=180>>180 minutes. Thus, he will have 180 - 150 = <<180-150=30>>30 minutes of free time remaining. #### 30 Johnny spent 3 hours working on a job that paid $7 per hour, 2 hours working on a job that paid $10 an hour, and 4 hours working on a job that paid $12 an hour. Assuming he repeats this process 5 days in a row, how much does Johnny make? First, we need to determine how much Johnny makes in one day. To start, we perform 3*7=<<3*7=21>>21 dollars for the first job. Second, we perform 2*10=<<20=20>>20 dollars for the second job. Third, we perform 4*12= <<4*12=48>>48 dollars for the third job. Altogether, Johnny makes 21+20+48= <<21+20+48=89>>89 dollars in a day. We multiply this amount by the 5 days, performing 5*89= <<445=445>>445 dollars over 5 days #### 445 Carl has been selling watermelons on the side of the road for $3 each. This evening he went home with $105 in profit and 18 watermelons. How many watermelons did he start out with this morning? Carl sells his watermelons for $3 each so today he sold $105 / $3 per watermelon = <<105/3=35>>35 watermelons. He had 18 watermelons left over, so this morning he started with 18 + 35 = <<18+35=53>>53 watermelons. #### 53 John plays a game for 4 hours a day every day for 2 weeks. After all that time, he is only 40% done. He increased his playtime to 7 hours a day. How long until he finishes the game? There are 7*2=<<7*2=14>>14 days in two weeks So he played 14*4=<<14*4=56>>56 hours That means the total length of the game is 56/.4=<<56/.4=140>>140 hours So he has 140-56=<<140-56=84>>84 hours to beat the game So it will take him 84/7=<<84/7=12>>12 days to beat the game #### 12
