Chef Michel made shepherd's pie cut into 4 pieces and chicken pot pie cut into 5 pieces for the lunch crowd. 52 customers ordered slices of shepherd's pie and 80 customers ordered slices of chicken pot pie. How many total pies did Chef Michel sell?

Chef Michel sold 52 / 4 =

<<52/4=13>>13 shepherd's pies. He sold 80 / 5 = <<80/5=16>>16 chicken pot pies. He sold a total of 13 + 16 = <<13+16=29>>29 meat pies. #### 29 Hakeem has always loved artichoke dip and plans to make it this weekend. He has $15 dollars to buy artichokes and can find the rest of the ingredients at home. It takes 3 artichokes to make 5 ounces of dip. How many ounces can he make if artichokes cost $1.25 each? He can buy 12 artichokes because 15 / 1.25 = <<15/1.25=12>>12 Each artichoke makes 5/3 ounces of dip because there are 3 artichokes per 5 ounces He can make 20 ounces of dip because 12 x (5/3) = 60/3 = <<12*(5/3)=20>>20 #### 20 In a math contest, Riley and Ofelia are on one team. The team's final score is obtained by adding the scores of the students of the same team. Out of the 35 questions, Riley got 3 mistakes while Ofelia got 5 more than half the score of Riley. How many incorrect answers did their team get? Riley's score is 35 - 3 = <<35-3=32>>32. Half of Riley's score is 32/2 = <<32/2=16>>16. So Ofelia's score is 16 + 5 = <<16+5=21>>21. Hence, Ofelia got 35 - 21 = <<35-21=14>>14 incorrect answers. Therefore, their team got 3 + 14 = <<3+14=17>>17 incorrect answers. #### 17 Eight people fit in a row on an airplane, and there are 12 rows. Only 3/4 of the seats in each row are allowed to be seated. How many seats will not be occupied on that plane? There a total of 8 x 12 = <<8*12=96>>96 seats on that plane. Only 8 x 3/4 = <<8*3/4=6>>6 seats are allowed to be seated in each row. So, only 6 x 12 = <<6*12=72>>72 seats are allowed to be seated on the plane. Therefore, 96 - 72 = <<96-72=24>>24 seats will not be occupied. #### 24 Two tribes of soldiers gathered for a battle. The number of women was double the number of cannoneers. There were 63 cannoneers. None of the cannoneers were women. The total number of men is twice the number of women. How many people in total are there? There are 63 * 2 = <<63*2=126>>126 women. The men are 2 * 126 = <<2*126=252>>252 men. The total number of people are 126 + 252 = <<126+252=378>>378 people. #### 378 In preparation for the upcoming Olympics, Rita's swimming coach requires her to swim a total of 1,500 hours. Rita has already completed 50 hours of backstroke, 9 hours of breaststroke, and 121 hours of butterfly, but she is unhappy with her inconsistency. She has therefore decided to dedicate 220 hours every month practicing freestyle and sidestroke. How many months does Rita have to fulfill her coach’s requirements? So far, time spent practicing backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly is 50 + 9 + 121 = <<50+9+121=180>>180 hours Since Rita’s must swim 1500 hours, the freestyle and sidestroke practice sessions will take 1500 - 180 = <<1500-180=1320>>1320 hours Rita will practice for 220 hours/month, meaning she will meet her coach’s target in 1320/220 = 6 months. #### 6 Ali turned 8 years old this year, and is now 3 years older than Yusaf. If Umar is twice Yusaf’s age, how old is Umar? If Ali is 3 years older, then Yusaf must be 8 – 3 = 5 years old. Umar is twice Yusaf’s age, so he must be 5 * 2 = <<2*5=10>>10 years old. #### 10 Carly is a pet groomer. Today, her task was trimming the four nails on dogs’ paws. She trimmed 164 nails, but three of the dogs had only three legs. How many dogs did Carly work on? Let N be the number of dogs with 4 legs Carly worked on. All the dogs with 4 legs had 4N paws. There were 3 * 3 = <<3*3=9>>9 paws on dogs with 3 legs. At 4 nails per paw, she trimmed 164 / 4 = <<164/4=41>>41 paws. She worked on 4N + 9 = 41 paws. Thus, she worked on 4N = 32 paws on dogs with 4 legs. She worked on N = 32 / 4 = <<32/4=8>>8 dogs with 4 legs. Thus, Carly worked on 8 + 3 = <<8+3=11>>11 dogs. #### 11 A global gym decides to replace all of its cardio machines. They have 20 gyms. Each gym has 10 bikes, 5 treadmills, and 5 elliptical machines. The bikes cost $700 each. The treadmills cost 50% more than that. The elliptical machines are twice as expensive as the treadmills. How much does it cost to replace everything? The gym needs to buy 20*10=<<20*10=200>>200 bikes 20*5=<<20*5=100>>100 each of treadmills and ellipticals So the bikes cost 200*700=$<<200*700=140000>>140,000 The treadmills cost 700*1.5=$<<700*1.5=1050>>1,050 each So they cost a total of 1050*100=$<<1050*100=105000>>105,000 The ellipticals each cost 1050*2=$<<1050*2=2100>>2100. So in total the ellipticals cost 2100*100=$<<2100*100=210000>>210,000 So the total cost of everything is 140,000+105,000+210,000=$<<140000+105000+210000=455000>>455,000 #### 455,000 John buys 5 toys that each cost $3. He gets a 20% discount. How much did he pay for everything? The toys cost 5*3=$<<5*3=15>>15 His discount is worth 15*.2=$<<15*.2=3>>3 So he pays 15-3=$<<15-3=12>>12 #### 12
