Jack and Rose want to start a dog-walking business after school. They made 1,236 flyers to hand out around their neighborhood. Jack handed 120 flyers while Rose handed 320 flyers. How many flyers are left to be handed out around?
Jack and Rose handed a total of 120 + 320 =
<<120+320=440>>440 flyers. So, they still have 1236 - 440 = <<1236-440=796>>796 flyers left to be handed out around. #### 796 Every year in January, Natalia, the librarian, tidies up the books. She has 145 novels, 271 comics, 419 documentaries, and 209 albums to store. She wants to put these in crates that can hold 9 items. How many crates will Natalia use? Let’s first calculate the total number of items: 145 + 271 + 419 + 209 = <<145+271+419+209=1044>>1044 items Now let’s put the items in the crates: 1044 / 9 = <<1044/9=116>>116 crates #### 116 Allison went to the craft store with her friend Marie to buy some glue sticks and construction paper. Allison bought 8 more glue sticks than Marie, but Marie bought six times as many packs of construction paper as Allison. If Marie bought 15 glue sticks and 30 packs of construction paper how many craft supply items did Allison buy all together? Allison bought 8+15=<<8+15=23>>23 glue sticks Allison bought 30/6=<<30/6=5>>5 packs of construction paper. Allison bought 23+5= <<23+5=28>>28 craft supply items #### 28 Carlos has some gold quarters. If he spends them in a store, they are worth the regular amount. If he melts them down, he can get $100 per ounce. Each quarter weighs 1/5 of an ounce. How many times more money would he get from melting them down instead of spending them in a store? If he melts them down, five quarters equals $100 because 1 / (1/5) = <<5=5>>5 If he spends those five quarters they are worth $1.25 because 5 x .25 = <<5*.25=1.25>>1.25 They are worth 80 times more melted down because 100 / 1.25 = <<100/1.25=80>>80 #### 80 Tom plays 9 rounds of golf. He takes an average of 4 strokes per hole. The par value per hole is 3. How many strokes over par was he? He took 4*9=<<4*9=36>>36 strokes Par is 9*3=<<9*3=27>>27 strokes So he was 36-27=<<36-27=9>>9 strokes over par #### 9 Billy has $25 less than twice the money Sam has. If Sam has $75, how much money do they have together? Billy has $25 less than twice Sam's money, or 2 * $75 - $25 = $150 - $25 = $<<2*75-25=125>>125. Together they have $75 + $125 = $<<75+125=200>>200. #### 200 Ellen’s doctor instructed her to eat a 2,200 calorie a day diet. For breakfast, she ate 353 calories. For lunch, she had 885. She had an afternoon snack of 130 calories. How many calories does she have left for dinner? Ellen ate 353 calories for breakfast + 885 for lunch + 130 for a snack = <<353+885+130=1368>>1368 calories. Ellen has 2,200 calories – 1368 = <<2200-1368=832>>832 calories left for dinner. #### 832 Kyle bakes 60 cookies and 32 brownies. Kyle eats 2 cookies and 2 brownies. Kyle's mom eats 1 cookie and 2 brownies. If Kyle sells a cookie for $1 and a brownie for $1.50, how much money will Kyle make if he sells all of his baked goods? Kyle and his mom eat a total of 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 cookies Kyle and his mom eat a total of 2 + 2 = <<2+2=4>>4 brownies The number of cookies remaining is 60 - 3 = <<60-3=57>>57 cookies The number of brownies remaining is 32 - 4 = <<32-4=28>>28 brownies From selling his cookies, Kyle makes 57 * $1 = $<<57*1=57>>57 From selling his brownies, Kyle makes 28 * $1.50 = $<<28*1.5=42>>42 Kyle would make a total of $57 + $42 = $<<57+42=99>>99 if he sold all of his baked goods #### 99 In the cafeteria, Athena wants to buy snacks for her friends. She bought 3 sandwiches at $3 each and 2 fruit drinks at $2.5 each. How much did she spend in all? Athena spent 3 x $3 = $<<3*3=9>>9 on sandwiches. She spent 2 x $2.5 = $<<2*2.5=5>>5 on fruits drinks. Therefore, Athena spent $9+$5 = $<<9+5=14>>14 in all. #### 14 If the price of a bag of cherries is $5 when the price of a bag of olives is $7, how much would Jordyn pay for buying 50 bags of each fruit and a 10% discount? At a 10 percent discount, Jordyn will pay 10/100%*$5=$.50 less for a bag of cherries. To buy one of the cherries at a 10% discount Jordyn will pay $5-$0.50=$<<5-0.5=4.50>>4.50 The cost of buying 50 bags of cherries at the 10% discount is 50*4.50=$<<50*4.50=225>>225 Also, at a 10% discount, Jordyn will pay 10/100*$7=$<<10/100*7=0.70>>0.70 less for a bag of olives. The price of a bag of olives at a 10% discount is $7-$0.70=$<<7-0.7=6.3>>6.3 To buy 50 bags of olives Jordyn will pay $6.3*50=$<<6.3*50=315>>315 The total cost of buying 50 bags of each fruit at a 10% discount is $315+$225=$540 #### 540
