While camping, Cyrus counted 14 mosquito bites on his arms and legs. He later counted another 10 on his body. While he was suffering, his entire family of 6 other people only got a total of half the number of bites that Cyrus got. If they all have an equal number of bites, how many mosquito bites does each member of the rest of Cyrus' family have?

Altogether, Cyrus got 14 + 10 =

<<14+10=24>>24 mosquito bites. The rest of his family had a total of 24/2 = <<24/2=12>>12 mosquito bites. Each family member had 12/6 = <<12/6=2>>2 mosquito bites. #### 2 On Miss Lawrence's math exam, 80% of the 50 questions are problem-solving while the rest are multiple-choice questions. How many multiple-choice questions are there? 100% - 80% = 20% of Miss Lawrence's exam are multiple-choice questions. Thus, there are 50 x 20/100 = <<50*20/100=10>>10 multiple-choice questions. #### 10 Brendan works online and is paid every week. Once he gets the money, he recharges his debit card with half of his pay. In June, he earned $5000 and bought himself a used car worth $1500. What is his total amount of remaining money at the end of the month? The total amount of money used to charge the debit card is 1/2*$5000 = $<<1/2*5000=2500>>2500. When he buys the used car, he still has $2500 - $1500 = $<<2500-1500=1000>>1000 left. #### 1000 John decides to replace all his VHS with DVDs. He can trade in his VHS for $2 each and then buy the DVDs for $10 each. If he has 100 movies, how much does it cost to replace his movies? It cost 10-2=$<<10-2=8>>8 to replace each movie So it would cost 8*100=$<<8*100=800>>800 to replace everything #### 800 Janet has 24 dresses. Half of them have pockets. Of those, a third have 2 pockets and the rest have 3 pockets. How many total pockets do her dresses have? She has 24/2=<<24/2=12>>12 dresses with pockets Of those 12/3=4 have 2 pockets So 12-4=<<12-4=8>>8 have three pockets So the dresses with 2 pockets have 2*4=<<2*4=8>>8 pockets The other dresses contribute 8*3=<<8*3=24>>24 pockets So she has a total of 8+24=<<8+24=32>>32 pockets #### 32 Farrah ordered 4 boxes from Amazon containing 20 matchboxes each. If each matchbox has 300 sticks, calculate the total number of match sticks that Farah ordered? Farrah ordered 4 boxes from Amazon containing 20 matchboxes each, a total of 4*20=<<4*20=80>>80 matchboxes. If each matchbox has 300 sticks, the total number of match sticks that Farah bought is 300*80 = <<300*80=24000>>24000 #### 24000 A baseball cap factory made 320 caps the first week, 400 the second week, and 300 the third week. If the company makes their average number of caps from the first 3 weeks during the fourth week, how many total caps will they make? During the first 3 weeks the factory made 320 caps + 400 caps + 300 caps = <<320+400+300=1020>>1020 caps total. The average for the first 3 weeks is 1020 caps / 3 weeks = <<1020/3=340>>340. If the factor makes the average during the fourth week they will make 1020 caps + 340 = <<1020+340=1360>>1360 caps. #### 1360 Amber buys 7 guppies for her pond. Several days later, she sees 3 dozen baby guppies swimming around. Two days after that, she sees 9 more baby guppies. How many guppies does she have now? 3 dozen baby guppies make 3 x 12 = <<3*12=36>>36 baby guppies. There are a total of 36 + 9 = <<36+9=45>>45 baby guppies. Adding the adult guppies, there are 7 + 45 = <<7+45=52>>52 guppies. #### 52 A supermarket has pints of strawberries on sale. They sold 54 pints and made $216, which was $108 less than they would have made selling the same number of pints without the sale. How many more dollars does a pint of strawberries cost when not on sale? On sale, a pint of strawberries costs 216 / 54 = $<<216/54=4>>4. The supermarket would have made 216 + 108 = $<<216+108=324>>324 if the strawberries were not on sale. Thus, a pint of strawberries not on sale costs 324 / 54 = $<<324/54=6>>6. Hence, a pint of strawberries costs 6 - 4 = $<<6-4=2>>2 more when not on sale. #### 2 Ben has $2000 for his business operations costs. He orders goods from his supplier and writes them a cheque for $600. His debtor pays him $800 from the purchases they had made on credit. Mr. Ben then decides to do equipment maintenance and spends $1200 on the whole operation. How much money is Mr. Ben remaining with? When Mr. Ben writes the cheque, he remains with $2000-$600 = $<<2000-600=1400>>1400 His debtor pays him $800, increasing his operation capital to $1400+$800 = $<<1400+800=2200>>2200 He spends $1200, remaining $2200-$1200 = $1000 for business operations cost after maintenance. #### 1000
