On his calculator, August had solved a math problem with an answer of 600. The following math problem had an answer twice as big as the answer of the first math problem, and the third math problem had an answer 400 less than the combined total answers of the first and the second math problems. What's the total of August's answers from solving the three math problems on his calculator?

How many times bigger was the second math problem than the first? ** August solved a math problem that had an answer twice as big as the answer of the first math problem, meaning the next answer was 600*2 =

<<600*2=1200>>1200 How many times bigger was the first and second math problems than the first? ** The first math problem and the second math problem has answers totaling 1200+600 = <<1200+600=1800>>1800 How many times smaller was the third math problem than the combined total of the first and second math problems? ** The third math problem had an answer 400 less than the combined total answers of the first and the second math problems, meaning the third answer was 1800-400 = <<1800-400=1400>>1400 What is the total of August's answers from solving the three math problems on his calculator? ** Altogether, the math problems that August solved on his computer had answers totaling 1800+1400= <<1800+1400=3200>>3200 #### 3200 The New York City Council bought 200 streetlights to modernize its squares. But they don't have enough squares to use all the streetlights bought. Knowing that there are 15 squares in New York and that each park will have 12 new streetlights bought by the city council, how many unused streetlights will remain? How many streetlights will be used? ** So the total number of streetlights that will be used is 15 squares * 12 streetlights/square = <<15*12=180>>180 streetlights How many unused streetlights will remain? ** There will be 200 streetlights - 180 streetlights = <<200-180=20>>20 streetlights unused. #### 20 Trevor and two of his neighborhood friends go to the toy shop every year to buy toys. Trevor always spends $20 more than his friend Reed on toys, and Reed spends 2 times as much money as their friend Quinn on the toys. If Trevor spends $80 every year to buy his toys, calculate how much money in total the three spend in 4 years. How much money does Reed spend every year? ** If Trevor spends $20 more than Reed every year to buy toys, Reed spends $80-$20 =$60. How much money does Quinn spend every year? ** Since Reed uses $60 every year to buy toys, his friend Quinn uses 60/2 = $<<60/2=30>>30 every year to buy toys. How much money do the three spend in a year together to buy toys? ** The total amount of money the three spend in a year together to buy toys is $30+$60+$80 = $<<30+60+80=170>>170. How much money will the three use to buy toys in 4 years? ** The total amount of money the three will use to buy toys in 4 years is $170*4 = $<<170*4=680>>680. #### 680 Jane, Kyla, and Anthony have summer jobs in a resort. Their task is to fold guests' towels. Jane can fold 3 towels in 5 minutes. Kyla can fold 5 towels in 10 minutes, and Anthony can fold 7 towels in 20 minutes. If they all fold towels together, how many towels can they fold in one hour? How many minutes are in 1 hour? ** There are 1 x 60 minutes = <<1*60=60>>60 minutes in 1 hour. How many sets of 5 minutes are in 1 hour? ** There are 60/5 = <<60/5=12>>12 sets of 5 minutes in 1 hour. How many towels can Jane fold in an hour? ** So, Jane can fold 3 x 12 = <<3*12=36>>36 towels in an hour. How many sets of 10 minutes are in 1 hour? ** There are 60/10 = <<60/10=6>>6 sets of 10 minutes in 1 hour. How many towels can Kyla fold in an hour? ** So, Kyla can fold 5 x 6 = <<5*6=30>>30 towels in an hour. How many sets of 20 minutes are in 1 hour? ** There are 60/20 = <<60/20=3>>3 sets of 20 minutes in 1 hour. How many towels can Anthony fold in an hour? ** So, Anthony can fold 7 x 3 = <<7*3=21>>21 towels in an hour. How many towels can they fold in 1 hour? ** Therefore, the 3 of them can fold a total of 36 + 30 + 21 = <<36+30+21=87>>87 towels in 1 hour. #### 87 After sharing 100 stickers with her friends, Xia had five sheets of stickers left. If each sheet had ten stickers on it, how many stickers did Xia have at the beginning? How many stickers are on each sheet? ** Five sheet have 5 x 10 = <<5*10=50>>50 stickers. How many stickers did Xia have at the beginning? ** Therefore, Xia had 100 + 50 = <<100+50=150>>150 stickers at the beginning. #### 150 Tamika drove for 8 hours at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. Logan drove for 5 hours at 55 miles an hour. How many miles farther did Tamika drive? How many miles did Tamika drive? ** Tamika drove 8 hours * 45 mph = <<8*45=360>>360 miles How many miles did Logan drive? ** Logan drove 5 hours * 55 mph = <<5*55=275>>275 miles How many miles farther did Tamika drive than Logan? ** 360 - 275 = <<360-275=85>>85 miles How many miles farther did Tamika drive than Logan? ** Tamika drove 85 miles farther. #### 85 James gets paid $0.50/mile to drive a truck carrying hazardous waste. He has to pay $4.00/gallon for gas and his truck gets 20 miles per gallon. How much profit does he make from a 600 mile trip? How much does James get paid? ** First find the total payment James receives: $0.50/mile * 600 miles = $<<0.50*600=300>>300 How many gallons of gas does James need? ** Then find how many gallons of gas he needs to buy: 600 miles / 20 miles/gallon = <<600/20=30>>30 gallons How much does James spend on gas? ** Then multiply that number by the price of gas per gallon to find the total cost of the gas: $4.00/gallon * 30 gallons = $<<4*30=120>>120 How much profit does James make? ** Then subtract that amount from James' earnings to find his profit: $300 - $120 = $<<300-120=180>>180 #### 180 Charlotte is a dog walker and is creating a schedule for all of her clients this week. Each dog is walked separately. On Monday, she needs to walk 4 poodles and 2 Chihuahuas. On Tuesday, she walks the same amount of Chihuahuas but isn't sure how many poodles she should walk. On Wednesday, she walks 4 Labradors. It takes 2 hours to walk a poodle, 1 hour to walk a Chihuahua, and 3 hours to walk a Labrador. If she has time for a total of 32 hours spent in dog-walking this week, how many poodles can Charlotte walk on Tuesday? How many hours does Charlotte spend walking poodles on Monday? ** On Monday, she spends 4 poodles * 2 hours = <<4*2=8>>8 hours walking poodles. How many hours does Charlotte spend walking Chihuahuas on Monday? ** On Monday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = <<2*1=2>>2 hours walking Chihuahuas. How many hours does Charlotte spend walking Chihuahuas on Tuesday? ** On Tuesday, she spends 2 Chihuahuas * 1 hour = <<2*1=2>>2 hours walking Chihuahuas. How many hours does Charlotte spend walking Labradors on Wednesday? ** On Wednesday, she spends 4 Labradors * 3 hours = <<4*3=12>>12 hours walking Labradors. How many hours does Charlotte spend dog-walking over the week? ** Over the week, this is a total of 8 + 2 + 2 + 12 = <<8+2+2+12=24>>24 hours spent dog-walking. How many hours does Charlotte have left to walk dogs? ** This means she still has 32 maximum hours – 24 used hours = <<32-24=8>>8 hours available for dog-walking. How many poodles can Charlotte walk on Tuesday? ** Therefore, she can walk 8 hours / 2 hours per poodle = <<8/2=4>>4 poodles on Tuesday. #### 4 Natalia is riding a bicycle for the cycling competition. On Monday she rode 40 kilometers and on Tuesday 50 kilometers. On Wednesday she rode 50% fewer kilometers than the day before. On Thursday she rode as many as the sum of the kilometers from Monday and Wednesday. How many kilometers did Natalie ride in total? How many kilometers did Natalie ride on Wednesday? ** On Wednesday she covered half of the distance from Tuesday, so 50 / 2 = <<50/2=25>>25 kilometers. How many kilometers did Natalie ride on Thursday? ** On Thursday she rode 40 + 25 = <<40+25=65>>65 kilometers. How many kilometers did Natalie ride in total? ** In total, Natalia rode 40 + 50 + 25 + 65 = <<40+50+25+65=180>>180 kilometers. #### 180 Yesterday, Bruce and Michael were playing football in the park. Bruce scored 4 goals While Michael scored 3 times more than Bruce. How many goals did Bruce and Michael both score? How many goals did Bruce score? ** Bruce scored <<4=4>>4 goals How many goals did Michael score? ** Scoring 3 times more than Bruce, Michael scored 4 * 3 = <<4*3=12>>12 goals. How many goals did Bruce and Michael both score? ** Both, Bruce and Michael scored 12 + 4 =<<12+4=16>>16 goals. #### 16
