The average temperature in Orlando in a particular week was 60 degrees. If the temperature on each of the first 3 days in that week was 40, and the temperature for Thursday and Friday was 80 degrees each, calculate the total temperature of the remaining days of that week.

How many degrees was the average temperature of Orlando for the week? ** If the average temperature of Orlando for the week was 60, then the total temperature for the week was 7*60 =

<<7*60=420>>420 degrees How many degrees was the temperature of the first three days of that week? ** For the first three days of that week, the temperature was 40 degrees each day, totaling 3*40 = <<3*40=120>>120 degrees in the three days. How many degrees was the temperature of Thursday and Friday? ** The temperature for Thursday and Friday was 80 degrees each, a total of 80*2 = <<80*2=160>>160 degrees. How many degrees was the temperature of Orlando for the first five days? ** The temperature of Orlando for the first five days was 160+120 = <<160+120=280>>280 degrees. How many degrees was the temperature of the remaining two days? ** The temperature for the remaining two days is 420-280 = <<420-280=140>>140 degrees. #### 140 Eliza buys 200 ornamental rings to sell in their local shop, twice the number of the remaining stock. After selling 3/4 of the total stock, her mother buys 300 more ornamental rings, and after three days, sells 150. What's the total number of ornamental rings remaining in the store? How many rings did Eliza buy? ** If Eliza restocked twice the original number of ornamental rings, the number was 200/2= <<200/2=100>>100 rings. How many rings are there now? ** The total number of ornamental rings in stock is now 200+100 = <<200+100=300>>300 rings. How many rings are sold? ** When she sells 3/4 of the stock, the total number of rings sold is 3/4*300 =<<3/4*300=225>>225 rings. What is the remaining stock? ** The remaining stock is 300-225 = <<300-225=75>>75 rings. What is the total number of ornamental rings remaining in the store? ** When her mother buys 300 more rings, the stock is boosted to 75+300 = <<75+300=375>>375 rings. How many rings are remaining? ** She then sells out 150, reducing the stock to 375-150 = 225 rings #### 225 Jeremy buys 3 bags of chips for a party. Stacy and Emily also buy chips for the party. If they need 10 bags of chips total, and Stacy buys 4 bags, how many bags of chips should Emily buy? How many bags of chips do Jeremy and Stacy buy? ** Jeremy and Stacy buy 3+4 = <<3+4=7>>7 bags of chips. How many bags of chips should Emily buy? ** Since there needs to be 10 total, Emily should buy 10-7=<<10-7=3>>3 bags of chips. #### 3 On Tuesday, a fruit vendor sold 2.5 dozen lemons and 5 dozens avocados. What is the total number of fruits that the fruit vendor sold? How many lemons did the vendor sell? ** Since 1 dozen is equal to 12, then the vendor sold 2.5 x 12 = <<2.5*12=30>>30 lemons. How many avocados did the vendor sell? ** While he sold 5 x 12 = <<5*12=60>>60 avocados. What is the total number of fruits that the fruit vendor sold? ** So, the fruit vendor sold a total of 30 + 60 = <<30+60=90>>90 fruits. #### 90 On a quiz, Martin answered three fewer questions correctly than Kelsey, and Kelsey answered eight more questions correctly than Campbell. If Campbell answered 35 questions correctly, how many did Martin answer correctly? How many questions did Kelsey answer correctly? ** Kelsey answered 35+8=<<35+8=43>>43 correctly. How many questions did Martin answer correctly? ** Martin answered 43-3=<<43-3=40>>40 correctly. #### 40 There are 250 books inside a library. On Tuesday, 120 books are taken out to be read by children. On Wednesday, 35 books are returned. On Thursday, another 15 books are withdrawn from the library. How many books are now in the library? How many books were taken out on Tuesday? ** On Tuesday, 120 books were taken out 250 - 120 = <<250-120=130>>130 books How many books were returned on Wednesday? ** On Wednesday, 35 books were returned 130 + 35 = <<130+35=165>>165 books How many books were borrowed on Thursday? ** On Thursday, 15 books were borrowed 165 - 15 = 150 books #### 150 In a town, there is a multi-story parking lot, which has room for 425 cars. The parking lot has 5 levels, each of the same size. How many more cars can one level fit if there are already 23 parked cars on that level? How many cars can each level fit when all levels are empty? ** When all levels are empty, each level can fit 425 / 5 = <<425/5=85>>85 cars. How many cars can one level fit if there are already 23 parked cars on that level? ** When there are already 23 parked cars on a level, there is still a place for 85 - 23 = 62 cars. #### 62 Luke is planning a trip to London and wants to see how long it will take him to travel there. He decides that he will take a bus to the town center, walk for 15 minutes to the train center, wait twice this long for the train to arrive, and then take the 6-hour train ride to London. If Luke’s entire trip takes him 8 hours, how many minutes does his bus ride take? How many hours did Luke spend getting on the train? ** Removing the time of the train ride from the journey shows that his trip to get on the train took him 8 hours – 6 hours = <<8-6=2>>2 hours. How many minutes did Luke spend getting to the train? ** Converting this time into minutes shows that getting to the train took 2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = <<2*60=120>>120 minutes. How many minutes did Luke spend waiting for the train? ** Waiting for the train to arrive took twice as long as his walk, so 15 minutes * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes. How many minutes did Luke spend on the bus? ** This means that his bus ride must have taken 120 minutes – 30 minutes - 15 minutes = <<120-30-15=75>>75 minutes. #### 75 There are 14 more kittens than two times the number of puppies at the animal shelter. If there are 32 puppies at the shelter, how many kittens are there? How many puppies are there? ** Two times the number of puppies is 32*2=<<32*2=64>>64 kittens How many kittens are there? ** There are 64+14=<<64+14=78>>78 kittens #### 78 Mr. Johnson has a prescription with enough pills for 30 days. After four-fifths of the days, he has 12 pills left. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day if he takes the same dose daily? How many days has Mr. Johnson been taking the pills? ** Mr. Johnson has been taking the pills for 30 * 4 / 5 = <<30*4/5=24>>24 days. How many days does Mr. Johnson have left? ** He has 30 - 24 = <<30-24=6>>6 days left to finish the pills. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day? ** Thus, Mr. Johnson is supposed to take 12 / 6 = <<12/6=2>>2 pills a day. #### 2
