A movie theater can hold 50 people at a time. They charge $8.00 a ticket. On a Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets. By not selling out, how much money did they lose?

The theater can hold 50 people and they charge $8.00 to watch a movie so on a sold-out night they make 50*8 = $

<<50*8=400.00>>400.00 On Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets at $8.00 apiece so they made 24*8 = $<<24*8=192.00>>192.00 If they make $400.00 on a sold-out night and they only made $192.00 on Tuesday then they lost 400-192 = $<<400-192=208.00>>208.00 #### 208 Sally picks 30 seashells on Monday. On Tuesday, she picks half as many seashells as she did on Monday. If she can sell each seashell for $1.20, how much money can she make if she sells all of her seashells? On Tuesday, Sally picks 30 / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 seashells In total, Sally picks 30 + 15 = <<30+15=45>>45 seashells The total amount of money Sally can make is 45 * $1.20 = $<<45*1.2=54>>54 #### 54 Bobby can deadlift 300 pounds at 13. When he is 18 he can deadlift 100 pounds more than 250% of his previous deadlift. How many pounds did he add per year? His new deadlift is 300*2.5+100=<<300*2.5+100=850>>850 pounds So he added 850-300=<<850-300=550>>550 pounds to his deadlift This took 18-13=<<18-13=5>>5 years So he added 550/5=<<550/5=110>>110 pounds per year #### 110 Hannah wants to get the highest grade in the class on the upcoming math test. Because she is out sick the day of the test, she learns ahead of time the top scores she has to beat. She finds out that one student got a 95% on the exam. Another student only got 3 wrong out of 40. How many questions does she have to get right to have the highest score in the class? One student got 37 questions right because 40 - 3 = <<40-3=37>>37 This student's proportion right is .925 because 37 / 40 = <<37/40=.925>>.925 This student got a 92.5% because .925 x 100 = <<.925*100=92.5>>92.5 The student got got a 95% got 38 right because 40 x .95 = <<40*.95=38>>38 Hannah must beat the student who got a 38 because 38 > 37 Hannah needs to get 39 questions right because 38 + 1 = <<38+1=39>>39 #### 39 Jamir and his two friends Sarah and Julien, go to their school's swimming pool to swim. Jamir swims 20 more meters per day than Sarah, who swims twice the distance Julien swims. They go to the swimming pool the whole week, swimming the same distances as before. If Julien swam 50 meters, what's the combined distance for three of them for the whole week? If Julien swam for the whole week, then the total distance in meters that he covered is 50*7 = <<50*7=350>>350 meters Sarah swam twice the distance covered by Julien, which is 2*50 = <<2*50=100>>100 meters Sarah's total for the whole week is 100*7 = <<100*7=700>>700 meters If Jamir swam 20 meters more than Sarah, he covered 100+20 = <<20+100=120>>120 meters Jamir's total for the whole week is 120*7 = <<120*7=840>>840 meters The combined distance for all of them is 840+700+350 = <<840+700+350=1890>>1890 meters #### 1890 Dorchester works at a puppy wash. He is paid $40 per day + $2.25 for each puppy he washes. On Wednesday, Dorchester earned $76. How many puppies did he wash that day? First find out how much he earned just from puppy washing: $76 - $40 = $<<76-40=36>>36 for puppy washing Now divide this amount by the payment per puppy: $36 / $2.25 per puppy = <<36/2.25=16>>16 puppies #### 16 Aren’s flight from New York to Hawaii will take 11 hours 20 minutes. He spends 2 hours reading, 4 hours watching two movies, 30 minutes eating his dinner, 40 minutes listening to the radio, and 1 hour 10 minutes playing games. How many hours does he have left to take a nap? The flight from NY to Hawaii will take 60 x 11 + 20 = <<60*11+20=680>>680 minutes. All the activities will take 120 + 240 + 30 + 40 + 70 = <<120+240+30+40+70=500>>500 minutes. For his nap, he has 680 - 500 = <<680-500=180>>180 minutes. To convert minutes to hours, he has 180/ 60 = <<180/60=3>>3 hours. #### 3 An organization trying to save endangered species of turtles has taken twice more hawksbill turtles than the number of green turtles into a conservation center. If the number of green turtles is 800, calculate the number of turtles that have been taken into the conservation center. If the number of hawksbill turtles is twice more than the number of green turtles, then there are 2*800 = <<2*800=1600>>1600 more hawksbill turtles. The total number of hawksbill turtles is 800+1600 = <<800+1600=2400>>2400 The total number of turtles that have been taken into the conservation center is 2400+800 = <<2400+800=3200>>3200 turtles. #### 3200 After Betty gave Stuart 40% of her marble collection, the number of marbles in Stuart's collection increased to 80. If Betty had 60 marbles, how many marbles did Stuart have initially? If Betty had 60 marbles, she gave Stuart 40/100*60=<<60/100*40=24>>24 marbles. Since the number of marbles in Stuart's collection increased to 80 after Betty gave him 24 marbles, the number of marbles he initially had is 80-24=<<80-24=56>>56 #### 56 For every bike Henry sells, he is paid $8 more than he is paid to paint the bike. If Henry gets $5 to paint the bike, how much does he get paid to sell and paint 8 bikes? Henry gets paid 5 + 13 = $<<5+13=18>>18 for each bike painted and sold. In total, Henry will be paid 8 * 18 = $<<8*18=144>>144 for painting and selling 8 bikes. #### 144
