<<3.5+3.5=7>>7 to pay for the round trip subway fare How much did Brian spend on bananas? ** We also know he has spent half (1/2) the amount he spent on kiwis on bananas, so he'll spend (1/2) * $10 = $5 on bananas How much has Brian spent? ** So far in total he has spent $7 for his subway fare + $5 on bananas + $10 on kiwis = $7 + $5 + $10 = $<<7+5+10=22>>22 How much money will Brian have left after buying apples? ** If he left his house with only $50, then all he will have left for apples would be $50 - $22 = $<<50-22=28>>28 How many bags of apples can Brian buy? ** If a bag of apples costs $14, then Brian would only be able to buy a maximum of $28/$14 = 2 bags of apples How many apples are in each bag? ** If each bag of apples has a dozen (12) apples, then (2) two bags will have 12*2= <<2*12=24>>24 apples #### 24 Preston has a sandwich shop. He charges $5 for each sandwich. He also charges $20 for a delivery fee. Abra Company orders 18 sandwiches from Preston and also tips him 10%. How much total, in dollars, did Preston receive?

He cuts it into 12 equal length pieces, but then he realizes it's too short, so he ties three pieces together. The knots then make each piece 1 inch shorter. How long are his pieces of rope after all this? How many inches are each small piece? ** Each small piece is 6 inches because 72 / 12 = <<72/12=6>>6. How many inches are each small piece after the knots are tied? ** Each piece is then 5 inches long after the knots are tied because 6-1=<<5=5>>5 How many inches are the three pieces tied together? ** The three pieces tied together are now 15 inches long because 5 x 3 = <<5*3=15>>15 #### 15 Last year, the school library purchased 50 new books.

Calculate the total age of the three brands of wine if the Carlo Rosi is 40 years old.
