<<3+2+8=13>>13 eggs. How many breakfasts does Lisa make in a year? ** Lisa makes breakfast 5 days a week for 52 weeks a year, so 5 * 52 = <<5*52=260>>260 breakfasts.

The fund promised a yearly interest rate of 10%. If he deposited an additional $100 every month into the account to add to his initial investment of $1000, how much money will he have in the fund after two years? How much money did Joseph invest in the first year? ** For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $<<1000+100*12=2200>>2200. How much interest did Joseph earn in the first year? ** The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $<<2200*10*.01=220>>220. What is the total value of the investment after the first year? ** The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $<<2200+220=2420>>2420. How much money will Joseph have in the fund after two years? ** For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $<<2420+100*12=3620>>3620. How much interest will Joseph earn in the second year? ** The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $<<3620*10*.01=362>>362. What is the total value of the investment after two years? ** Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $<<3620+362=3982>>3982. #### 3982 Harry needs to buy 5 spellbooks that each cost 5 gold, three potion kits that each cost 20 silver, and one owl that costs 28 gold. There are 9 silver to a gold. How much will Harry pay total, in silvers? How much do the spellbooks cost? ** First find the total cost of the spellbooks by multiplying the price per book by the number of books: 5 books * 5 gold/book = <<5*5=25>>25 gold How much do the spellbooks and the owl cost? ** Then add that amount to the cost of the owl: 25 gold + 28 gold = <<25+28=53>>53 gold How much will Harry pay total, in silvers? ** Now multiply that number by the conversion rate between gold and silver: 53 gold * 9 silver/gold = <<53*9=477>>477 silver How much do the potion kits cost? ** Now find the total cost of the potion kits by multiplying the price per kit by the number of kit: 3 kits * 20 silver/kit = <<3*20=60>>60 silver How much will Harry pay total? ** Now add that amount to the cost of the books and owl to find Harry's total spending: 60 silver + 477 silver = <<60+477=537>>537 silver #### 537 Chad is hosting a BBQ on the hottest day of the year, where there will be a total of 15 people.

If the cost of a pencil was $4, and the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, calculate the total amount of money they paid for the stationery. How many pencils did the store order? ** If the store ordered 15 boxes, each having 80 pencils, they ordered 15*80 = <<15*80=1200>>1200 pencils. How much did the store pay for the pencils? ** If the cost of a pencil was $4, the store paid $4*1200 = $<<4*1200=4800>>4800 for all the pencils. How many pens did the store order? ** Twice as many pens as pencils that the store ordered are 2*1200= <<2*1200=2400>>2400 How many pencils did the store order? ** If A store ordered 300 more than twice as many pens as it did pencils, it ordered 2400+300= <<2400+300=2700>>2700 pencils. How much did the store pay for the pens? ** Since the cost of the pens was $5, the store paid 2700*$5 = $<<2700*5=13500>>13500 for the pens. How much did the store pay for the stationery? ** The total amount of money they paid for the stationery is 13500+4800 = $<<13500+4800=18300>>18300 #### 18300 Reynald is the head of the varsity department, and he bought 145 balls. Twenty were soccer balls. There were five more basketballs than the soccer balls. Twice the number of soccer balls were tennis balls.

How many volleyballs did Reynald buy? ** So, there were 20 + 25 + 40 + 30 = 115 soccer balls, basketballs, tennis balls and baseball altogether. Therefore, Reynald bought 145 - 115 = <<145-115=30>>30 volleyballs, #### 30 Linda is repainting her bedroom. The wall area is 600 sq. ft. If a gallon of paint can cover 400 sq. ft., how many gallon cans of paint will Linda have to buy if she wants to do two coats?
