Aaron has four brothers. If the number of Bennett's brothers is two less than twice the number of Aaron's brothers, what is the number of Bennett's brothers?

Twice the number of Aaron's brothers is 4*2=

<<4*2=8>>8. Bennett has 8-2=<<8-2=6>>6 brothers. #### 6 Laura loves to cook. One day she decided to make dinner for her family. She bought the necessary ingredients for this occasion: two salads, 2 kilograms of beef, 1 kilogram of potatoes, and two liters of juice. One salad costs $3, and one kilogram of beef is two times more expensive. One kilogram of potatoes costs one-third of the price of one salad, and one liter of juice is $1.5. How much did Laura need to pay for all the products she bought? Laura bought two salads, for 2 * 3 = $<<2*3=6>>6. One kilogram of beef is two times more expensive than one salad, which means it cost 2 * 3 = $6. So Laura spend 2 * 6 = $<<2*6=12>>12 on beef. One kilogram of potatoes costs only 3 * 1/3 = $<<3*1/3=1>>1, and that's how much Laura paid for potatoes. Laura bought two liters of juice, so she did spend on them 2 * 1.5 = $<<2*1.5=3>>3. So in total Laura paid 6 + 12 + 1 + 3 = $<<6+12+1+3=22>>22. #### 22 Mr. Connell harvested 60 apples from his apple tree and 3 times as many peaches from his peach tree. What is the difference between the number of the two fruits? Mr. Connell harvested 60 x 3 = <<60*3=180>>180 peaches. The difference between the number of the two fruits is 180 - 60 = <<180-60=120>>120 #### 120 There were 90 jellybeans in a jar. Samantha snuck 24 jellybeans out of the jar, without being seen. Shelby ate 12 jellybeans from the jar. Their mom, Shannon, refilled the jar with half as much as Samantha and Shelby took out. How many jellybeans are in the jar now? There were 90-24 = <<90-24=66>>66 jellybeans in the jar after Samantha snuck some. There were 66-12 = <<66-12=54>>54 jellybean in the jar after Shelby ate some. Samantha and Shelby took 24+12 = <<24+12=36>>36 jellybeans from the jar. Shelby refilled the jar with 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 jellybeans. There are 54+18 = <<54+18=72>>72 jellybeans in the jar. #### 72 Jack collects all his neighbors' recycling and sorts out the cans and bottles to return for the deposit. He gets 10 cents per bottle and 5 cents per can. If he recycled 80 bottles and made $15, how many cans did he recycle? First find the total amount Jack earned from the bottles: $0.10/bottle * 80 bottles = $<<0.10*80=8.00>>8.00 Then subtract that amount from his total earnings to find the amount he earned from cans: $15.00 - $8.00 = $<<15-8=7.00>>7.00 Then divide his total earnings from cans by his earnings per can to find the number of cans he recycled: $7.00 / $0.05/can = <<7/0.05=140>>140 cans #### 140 Rihanna has $50 to go to the supermarket. Rihanna bought 6 mangoes and 6 cartons of apple juice. Each mango cost $3 and each carton of apple juice cost $3. How much money does Rihanna have left? The cost of the mangoes is 6 mangoes × $3/mango = $<<6*3=18>>18. The cost of the apple juice is 6 cartons × $3/carton = $<<6*3=18>>18. Find the total cost of the groceries which is $18 + $18 = $<<18+18=36>>36. Rihanna has $50 − $36 = $14 left. #### 14 Ali has $480. He spent half of it on food, and then he spent a third of what was left on a pair of glasses. How much money did he have left? Ali spent 480/2=$<<480/2=240>>240 on food. After buying the food, Ali had 480-240=$<<480-240=240>>240 left. He spent 240/3=<<240/3=80>>80 dollars on a pair of glasses. He had 240-80=$<<240-80=160>>160 left. #### 160 Out of 480 employees, 10% got a salary increase while 20% got a travel allowance increase. How many employees did not get any increase? 480 x 10/100 = <<480*10/100=48>>48 employees got a salary increase. 480 x 20/100 = <<480*20/100=96>>96 employees got a travel allowance increase. So a total of 48 + 96 = <<48+96=144>>144 employees got an increase. Therefore, 480 - 144 = <<480-144=336>>336 employees did not get any increase. #### 336 James decides to buy two suits. The first is an off-the-rack suit which costs $300. The second is a tailored suit that costs three as much plus an extra $200 for tailoring. How much did he pay for both suits? The second suit cost 300*3=$<<300*3=900>>900 After tailoring the second suit cost 900+200=$<<900+200=1100>>1100 So the total cost was 1100+300=$<<1100+300=1400>>1400 #### 1400 The teachers divided the group of students into 3 groups of 8. But 2 students left early. How many remain? There were initially 3*8=<<3*8=24>>24. Now there are 24-2=<<24-2=22>>22. #### 22
