There were 180 apples in each crate. 12 such crates of apples were delivered to a factory. 160 apples were rotten and had to be thrown away. The remaining apples were packed into boxes of 20 apples each. How many boxes of apples were there?

How many apples were delivered? ** The total number of apples delivered was: 180 apples x 12 crates =

<<180*12=2160>>2160 apples How many apples were left? ** So, the number of remaining apples after throwing away the rotten ones was: 2160 apples – 160 apples = <<2160-160=2000>>2000 apples How many boxes of apples were there? ** And now, we can find the total number of boxes of apples by dividing the remaining number of apples by the number of apples per box: 2000 apples / 20 apples/box = <<2000/20=100>>100 boxes of apples. #### 100 Matt is playing basketball.

What is the number of fish left in the sea, if fishers catch 2/5 of the fish that swam eastward and 3/4 of the fish that swam westward? How many fish did fishers catch? ** When fishers caught 3/4 of the fish that swam westward, their total number reduced by 3/4 * 1800 fish = <<3/4*1800=1350>>1350 How many fish did fishers catch? ** The total number of fish that remained from the total number that swam eastward is 1800 fish - 1350 fish = <<1800-1350=450>>450 fish How many fish did fishers catch? ** If fishers caught 2/5 of the fish that swam eastward, their total number reduced by 2/5 * 3200 fish = <<2/5*3200=1280>>1280 fish How many fish did fishers catch? ** 3200 fish - 1280 fish = <<3200-1280=1920>>1920 fish remained in the sea from the number that swam westward. What is the number of fish left in the sea? ** The total number of fish in the sea after fishers caught some is 500 of the number that went north + 450 of the fish that swam westward + 1920 of the fish that swam eastward = <<500+450+1920=2870>>2870 fish #### 2870 A bathroom has 10 6 inch tiles along its width and 20 6 inch tiles along its length. What is the square footage of the bathroom? How many inches are the tiles in the bathroom? ** There are 10 tiles that are 6 inches long running the width of the bathroom so it is 10*6 = <<10*6=60>>60 inches long How many feet is the bathroom? ** There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 60 inches wide so it is 60/12 = 5 feet wide How many inches are the tiles in the bathroom? ** There are 20 tiles that are 6 inches long running the length of the bathroom so it’s 20*6 = <<20*6=120>>120 inches long How many feet is the bathroom? ** There are 12 inches in a foot and it’s 120 inches long so it is 120/12 = <<120/12=10>>10 feet wide What is the square footage of the bathroom? ** The square footage is l x w so the bathroom has 10*5 = <<10*5=50>>50 sq feet #### 50 Celina enjoys hiking in the mountains. Due to a lack of proper equipment, she decided to order a new pair of boots, a flashlight, and a special hoodie. The hoodie cost $80 and the flashlight was only 20% of that price.

How much did the flashlight cost? ** The flashlight was 20% of the price of the hoodie, so 80 * 20/100 = $<<80*20/100=16>>16. How much did the boots cost? ** The promotion for a pair of boots was 110 * 10/100 = $<<110*10/100=11>>11. How much did the boots cost? ** So the pair of boots cost 110 - 11 = $<<110-11=99>>99. How much did Celina spend in total on the above-mentioned equipment? ** Celina therefore spent 80 + 16 + 99 = $<<80+16+99=195>>195 on the equipment. #### 195 Stella’s antique shop has 3 dolls, 2 clocks and 5 glasses for sale.
