In Sam's first 100 matches he won 50% of matches. In his next 100 games, he won 60% of matches. How many total matches did he win?

He won 100*.5=

<<100*.5=50>>50 matches in his first 100 games In his next 100 games, he won 100*.6=<<100*.6=60>>60 matches So in total, he won 50+60=<<50+60=110>>110 matches #### 110 Amara had 100 pieces of clothing but started donating her clothes to others. She donated 5 to one orphanage home and triple that to another orphanage home. If she decides to throw away 15 of her old clothes, how many pieces of clothing does she have remaining? Amara donates 5+5*3=5+15=<<5+5*3=20>>20 pieces of clothing After donating she is left with 100-20=<<100-20=80>>80 pieces After throwing away some clothes, she is left with 80-15=<<80-15=65>>65 pieces #### 65 Ivan has a piggy bank that can hold 100 pennies and 50 dimes. How much, in dollars, does Ivan have if he has filled his two piggy banks with those coins? Ivan has 50 x 10 = <<50*10=500>>500 cents from the 50 dimes in his one piggy bank. So, he has a total of 100 + 500 = <<100+500=600>>600 cents in one of his piggy banks. Since 100 cents is equal to 1 dollar, then Ivan has 600/100 = 6 dollars from one of his piggy banks. Therefore, Ivan has a total of $6 x 2 piggy banks = $<<6*2=12>>12 from his two piggy banks. #### 12 Carla went to the zoo and counted 12 zebras in their enclosure. She then visited the camels and learned that there were only half as many camels as there were zebras. Next, she visited the monkeys and counted 4 times the number of monkeys as camels. Finally, she saw some giraffes and counted only 2 giraffes. How many more monkeys than giraffes did Carla see? There were 12 zebras / 2 zebras/camel = 6 camels at the zoo. There were 4 monkeys/camel x 6 camels = <<4*6=24>>24 monkeys at the zoo. Therefore, Carla saw 24 monkeys - 2 giraffes = <<24-2=22>>22 more monkeys than giraffes. #### 22 Bob bought 2 show dogs for $250.00 each to breed as a side business. The female just had a litter of 6 puppies. If he sells each puppy for $350.00, what is his total profit? He bought 2 dogs for $250.00 each so they costs 2*250 = $<<2*250=500.00>>500.00 He sells each of the 6 puppies for $350.00 so he'll make 6*350 = $<<6*350=2100.00>>2,100.00 He made $2,100 on the puppies but spent $500.00 to buy the dogs so his total profit is 2,100-500 = $<<2100-500=1600.00>>1,600.00 #### 1600 Tatuya, Ivanna, and Dorothy took a quiz together. Tatuya scored twice as much as Ivanna, and Ivanna scored 3/5 times as many marks as Dorothy. If Dorothy scored 90 marks, calculate the average marks scored by the three. Since Dorothy scored 90 marks, and Ivanna scored 3/5 times as many marks, Ivanna scored 3/5*90 = <<90*3/5=54>>54 marks. Together, Dorothy and Ivanna scored a total of 54+90 = <<54+90=144>>144 marks. If Tayuta scored twice as many marks as Ivanna, she scored 2*54 = <<2*54=108>>108 marks. The total marks the three scored altogether is 108+144 = <<108+144=252>>252 marks. The average marks for the three are 252/3 = <<252/3=84>>84 marks. #### 84 Polly the parakeet tweets all day long. When she is happy, she tweets 18 times per minute. When she is hungry, she tweets 4 times per minute. And when she watches herself in the mirror, she tweets 45 times per minute. During a time period where she is happy for 20 minutes, hungry for 20 minutes, and watches her reflection for 20 minutes, what is the total number of times she will tweet? In 20 minutes, she happy tweets for 20*18=<<20*18=360>>360 times In 20 minutes, she hungry-tweets for 20*4=<<20*4=80>>80 times In 20 minutes, she tweets at her reflection 20*45=<<20*45=900>>900 times Altogether, she tweets 360+80+900=<<360+80+900=1340>>1340 times #### 1340 There were 2450 sheets of paper that were evenly split into 5 binders. Justine took a binder and colored on one-half of the sheets of paper. How many sheets of paper did Justine use? 2450/5 = <<2450/5=490>>490 sheets of paper 490/2 = <<490/2=245>>245 sheets of paper Justine colored on 245 pieces of paper. #### 245 Lisa has decided to replace her old cutlery. As she is going through the cupboards, she sees the spoons from when each of her 4 children were babies as well as 2 decorative spoons she created. She doesn't want to get rid of any of these so she adds them to her new set of cutlery. The new set of cutlery has 10 large spoons and 15 teaspoons. If the children each had 3 spoons when they were babies, how many spoons does Lisa now have? From the baby spoons, Lisa holds 4 children * 3 spoons each = <<4*3=12>>12 baby spoons. Adding this to the decorative spoons means Lisa has 12 baby spoons + 2 decorative spoons = <<12+2=14>>14 old spoons. In the new set of cutlery, there is a total of 10 large spoons + 15 teaspoons = <<10+15=25>>25 new spoons. So in total, Lisa has 14 old spoons + 25 new spoons = <<14+25=39>>39 spoons. #### 39 Sylvie is feeding her turtles. Each turtle needs 1 ounce of food per 1/2 pound of body weight. She has 30 pounds of turtles. Each jar of food contains 15 ounces and costs $2. How much does it cost to feed the turtles? She needs 60 ounces of food because 30 / .5 = <<30/.5=60>>60 She needs 4 jars of food because 60 / 15 = <<60/15=4>>4 It will cost $8 to feed them because 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 #### 8
