Mike and Leo have to print as many pamphlets as possible for a social gathering. Mike manages to print as fast as 600 pamphlets per hour for 9 consecutive hours. After a break, he resumes the task for another 2 hours achieving a third of the speed he was doing before. Leo, on the other hand, only works a third as many hours as Mike did before his break, but was twice as fast as Mike before he took his break. How many pamphlets do both manage to print at the end?

How many pamphlets did Mike print before the break? ** Mike printed before the break 600 pamphlets per hour * 9 hours=

<<600*9=5400>>5400 pamphlets How fast was Mike after the break? ** The working speed of Mike after the break was 600 pamphlets per hour / 3= <<600/3=200>>200 pamphlets per hour How many pamphlets did Mike print after the break? ** Mike printed after the break 200 pamphlets per hour * 2 hours= <<200*2=400>>400 pamphlets How many hours did Leo work? ** Leo worked third of the time that Mike worked before the break, so he worked 9 hours / 3 = <<9/3=3>>3 hours How fast was Leo before his break? ** Leo worked twice as fast as Mike before his break 600 pamphlets per hour * 2 = <<600*2=1200>>1200 pamphlets per hour How many pamphlets did Leo print? ** Leo printed 1200 pamphlets per hour * 3 hours = <<1200*3=3600>>3600 pamphlets How many pamphlets did Mike and Leo print together? ** Combining the pamphlets of Leo and Mike 5400 + 400 + 3600 = <<5400+400+3600=9400>>9400 pamphlets #### 9400 A passenger train transports passengers between two stations located in two separate cities. On a particular day, the train carried 100 passengers from one station to the other one way, and on the return trip carried 60 passengers. If the train made three more round trips that day, taking the same number of people as the first trip in each trip, calculate the total number of passengers transported between both stations? How many people are transported in the first trip? ** The total number of people transported in the first trip is 100 one way + 60 on the return trip = <<100+60=160>>160 people. How many people are transported in all three round trips? ** If the train made three more round trips that day carrying the same number of passengers in each trip as the first, it carried a total of 3*160 = <<3*160=480>>480 in all three round trips. How many people are transported in total? ** In total, the train carried 160+480 = <<160+480=640>>640 people over all its trips that day #### 640 Lori owns 15 times as many beanie babies as Sydney. If Lori has 300 beanie babies, how many beanie babies do they have in total? How many beanie babies does Sydney have? ** If Lori has 15 times as many beanie babies as Sydney, Sydney has 300/15 = 20 beanie babies. How many beanie babies do they have in total? ** Together, they have 20 + 300 = <<20+300=320>>320 beanie babies #### 320 The water pressure of a sink has a steady flow of 2 cups per 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes. It still flows at 2 cups per 10 minutes for the next 30 minutes after. For the next hour, the water pressure maximizes to 4 cups per 10 minutes and stops. Shawn now has to dump half of the water away. How much water is left? How many cups of water came out in the first 30 minutes? ** For the first 30 minutes, 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 cups of water came out. How many cups of water came out in the next 30 minutes? ** For the next 30 minutes, 3*2=<<3*2=6>>6 cups of water came out. How many cups of water came out in the next hour? ** For the next hour, 6*4=<<6*4=24>>24 cups of water came out. How many cups of water came out in total? ** A total of 6+6+24=<<6+6+24=36>>36 cups of water came out. How many cups of water is left? ** Shawn had to dump water which left 36/2=<<36/2=18>>18 cups of water. #### 18 At a shop in Japan, women's T-shirts are sold every 30 minutes for $18, and men's T-shirts are sold every 40 minutes for $15. This shop is open from 10 am until 10 pm. How much does the shop earn selling T-shirts per week? How many minutes are in a day? ** First, the shop is open 12 hours * 60 minutes = <<12*60=720>>720 minutes per day. How many women's T-shirts are sold per day? ** So, 720 / 30 = <<720/30=24>>24 women's T-shirts sold per day. How much does the shop earn selling women's T-shirts per day? ** The shop earns 24 * $18 = $<<24*18=432>>432 selling women's T-shirts per day. How many men's T-shirts are sold per day? ** Similarly, 720 / 40 = <<720/40=18>>18 men's T-shirts are sold per day. How much does the shop earn selling men's T-shirts per day? ** The shop earns 18 * $15 = $<<18*15=270>>270 selling men's T-shirts per day. How much does the shop earn selling T-shirts per day? ** The shop earns $432 + $270 = $<<432+270=702>>702 per day selling T-shirts. How much does the shop earn selling T-shirts per week? ** The shop earns $702 * 7 = $<<702*7=4914>>4914 per week. #### 4914 To get admission into a school party, each football team member must pay $40. If there are 60 players on the football team and the entire team attends 8 such parties in a year, calculate the total amount of money collected in the 8 parties. How much money is collected in one party? ** In one party, the total amount of money collected from the football players is $40*60= $<<40*60=2400>>2400 How much money is collected in the 8 parties? ** If eight such parties are done in a year, the total amount of money collected from the parties is $2400*8 = $<<2400*8=19200>>19200 #### 19200 Wendy went to the dentist for a cleaning, two fillings, and a tooth extraction. The dentist charges $70 for a cleaning and $120 for a filling. Wendy’s dentist bill was five times the cost of a filling. What did Wendy pay for the tooth extraction? How much did Wendy’s dentist bill cost? ** Wendy’s dentist bill was 5 * $120 = $<<5*120=600>>600. How much did Wendy’s fillings cost? ** She got two fillings at a cost of 2 * $120 = $<<2*120=240>>240. How much did Wendy pay for the tooth extraction? ** Thus, Wendy paid $600 - $240 - $70 = $<<600-240-70=290>>290 for the tooth extraction. #### 290 Jeff wanted to rent an apartment to live in for the next 5 years until he finishes his studies.

How much did Jeff pay in the final 2 years? ** The final 2 years he paid $350/month x 12 months = $<<350*12=4200>>4,200/year How much did Jeff pay in the last 2 years? ** He paid $4,200/year x 2 years = $<<4200*2=8400>>8,400 the last 2 years. How much did Jeff end up paying for the apartment throughout the 5 years? ** He paid the owner $10,800 + $8,400 = $<<10800+8400=19200>>19,200 in total. #### 19200 Reese had a sum of money in her savings account. The company she used to work with was not doing well which is why she lost her job. So she spent 20% of her savings for her expenses in February, 40% of it in March, and $1500 in April. How much did she have in her savings account if she still has $2900 after spending those amounts? How much money did Reese spend in February and March? ** The total percentage of money that Reese spent in February and March is 20% + 40% = 60%. How much money did Reese spend in April? ** This means the April expenses and the money left in her account make up 100% - 60% = 40% of her savings. How much money did Reese have in her savings account after spending those amounts? ** Reese had $2900 + $1500 = $<<2900+1500=4400>>4400 for the April expenses and the money left in her account. How much money did Reese have in her savings account after spending those amounts? ** So, $4400 is equal to 40% which means every 1% is equal to $4400/40 = $<<4400/40=110>>110. How much money did Reese have in her savings account originally? ** Therefore, Reese originally had $110 x 100 = $<<110*100=11000>>11000 in her savings account. #### 11000 Josh gets together with 7 friends.
