Each member of Greg’s softball team needs to buy one uniform made up of a shirt, a pair of pants, and socks. A shirt costs $7.50, a pair of pants cost $15, and socks cost $4.50 each if each team member buys the uniform items on their own. If they buy the items as a group, they are given a discount. A discounted shirt cost $6.75, a discounted pair of pants cost $13.50, and discounted socks cost $3.75. How much would their team of 12 save with the group discount?

The cost of a regularly-priced uniform is $7.50 for the shirt + $15 for pants + $4.50 for socks = $

<<7.5+15+4.5=27>>27. The cost of a discounted uniform is $6.75 for the shirt + $13.50 for pants + $3.75 for socks = $<<6.75+13.5+3.75=24>>24. By purchasing the discounted uniform, each team member would save $27 for full price - $24 for discounted= $<<27-24=3>>3. So, for the team of 12, they would save $3 * 12 = $<<3*12=36>>36 #### 36 Jaco wants to buy Christmas gifts for his 8 friends that are worth $9 each. Also, he wants to buy gifts for his mother and father that are of the same amount. He has a $100 budget to buy all gifts. How much is Jaco's budget for each of his mother and father's gift? Jaco will spend a total of $9 x 8 = $<<9*8=72>>72 for his 8 friends' gifts. He will be left with $100 - $72 = $<<100-72=28>>28 for his mother and father's gift. So, Jaco's budget for each of his mother and father's gift is $28/2 = $<<28/2=14>>14. #### 14 Hot dog buns come in packages of 8. For the school picnic, Mr. Gates bought 30 packages of hot dog buns. He has four classes with 30 students in each class. How many hot dog buns can each of Mr. Gates' students get? Mr. Gates bought 30 x 8 = <<30*8=240>>240 hot dog buns. In his four classes, he has a total of 4 x 30 = <<4*30=120>>120 students. Therefore, each of his students can get 240/120 = <<240/120=2>>2 hot dog buns. #### 2 It takes Omar 12 minutes to raise his kite 240 feet into the air. Jasper can raise his kite at three times the rate of speed as Omar can raise his kite. If Jasper raises his kite to a height of 600 feet, how many minutes will it take? Jasper raises his kite at a rate of 240 feet in 12 minutes, or 240/12=<<240/12=20>>20 feet per minute. Jasper raises his kite at three times the speed Omar does, or 3*20=<<3*20=60>>60 feet per minute. To raise his kite 600 feet, it will take Jasper 600/60=<<600/60=10>>10 minutes. #### 10 Ali had a stock of 800 books in his Room. He sold 60 on Monday, 10 on Tuesday, 20 on Wednesday, 44 on Thursday and 66 on Friday. How many books were not sold? We look first for the total number of books that were sold: 60 + 10 + 20 + 44 + 66 = <<60+10+20+44+66=200>>200 books. So the total number of books that were not sold is: 800 – 200 = <<800-200=600>>600 books. #### 600 Tina has 12 pink pens. She has 9 fewer green pens than pink pens. Tina has 3 more blue pens than green pens. How many pens does Tina have in total? Tina has 12 - 9 = <<12-9=3>>3 green pens. Tina has 3 + 3 = <<3+3=6>>6 blue pens. In total Tina has 12 + 3 + 6 = <<12+3+6=21>>21 pens #### 21 A family bought a 24 pack of bottled water. They drank 1/3 of them on the first day and 1/2 of what was left after the first day on the second day. How many bottles of water remain after 2 days? After 1 day, the family drank 24 bottles * 1/3 = <<24*1/3=8>>8 bottles Thus, 24 bottles - 8 = <<24-8=16>>16 remain On the 2nd day they drank half of the remaining 16, so half would be leftover at the end of day 2, or 16 * 1/2 = <<16*1/2=8>>8 bottles #### 8 A fruit stand is selling apples for $2 each. Emmy has $200 while Gerry has $100. If they want to buy apples, how many apples can Emmy and Gerry buy altogether? Emmy and Gerry have a total of $200 + $100 = $<<200+100=300>>300. Therefore, Emmy and Gerry can buy $300/$2 = <<300/2=150>>150 apples altogether. #### 150 Six kids and two adults are going to the circus. Kid's tickets are on sale for only half of the adult tickets. The total cost is $50. How much is one kid's ticket? Let X be the price of one kid's ticket. So the price of one adult ticket is X*2. Five kids and two adults are going to the circus, so 6*X + 2*(X*2) = $50. So 10X=$50 So the price of one kid's ticket is X = $<<5=5>>5. #### 5 Carter plays soccer on the school team. On average, he scores 4 goals per game. Shelby scores half as many as Carter per game on average. And Judah, on average, scores three less than twice as many goals per game as Shelby. If these three teammates are the only ones that score goals for the school team, what is the average total number of goals scored by the team per game? On average, Shelby scores half as many as Carter per game for an average of 4/2=<<4/2=2>>2 goals per game. Judah, on average, scores three less than twice as many goals per game as Shelby, for a total of (2*2)-3=<<2*2-3=1>>1 goal per game. Therefore, the average total number of goals scored by the team per game is 4+2+1=<<4+2+1=7>>7 goals per game. #### 7
