A shoe company sells $4000 worth of shoes every month. If they want to make $60000 in an entire year how many more dollars per month should they make selling shoes?

How much money do they currently make in a year? ** The amount of money they currently make in a year is 12 * 4000 = $

<<12*4000=48000>>48000. How much more money do they need to make in a year? ** The additional amount they need to make is $60000 - $48000= $<<60000-48000=12000>>12000 per year. How many more dollars per month should they make selling shoes? ** So, they should make $12000 / 12 = $<<12000/12=1000>>1000 more every month. #### 1000 Oxford High School has 48 teachers, 1 principal and 15 classes with each having 20 students.

A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn? How much does the aqua park charge each person? ** A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each. How much do the 10 people pay? ** So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $<<18*10=180>>180. How much does the aqua park charge each person? ** A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $<<12*5=60>>60 for the admission. How much does the aqua park earn? ** Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $<<180+60=240>>240. #### 240 A class has 500 tables and 2/5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class are on top of each table. What's the total number of books in the class? How many books are there? ** If there are 2/5 times as many books as the number of tables in the class on top of each table, there are 2/5*500 = <<2/5*500=200>>200 books. How many books are there? ** Since the class has 500 tables with 200 books on top of each, there are 500*200 = <<500*200=100000>>100000 books. #### 100000 Walmart sells a multitool with a screwdriver, 3 knives, and two other tools. Target sells a multitool with a screwdriver, twice as many knives as Walmart, three files and a pair of scissors. How many more tools does the Target multitool have compared to Walmart? How many tools are in the Walmart multitool? ** First find the total number of tools in the Walmart multitool: 1 tool + 3 tools + 2 tools = <<1+3+2=6>>6 tools How many knives are in the Target multitool? ** Then find the total number of knives in the Target multitool: 3 knives * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 knives How many tools are in the Target multitool? ** Then find the total number of tools in the Target multitool: 1 tool + 6 tools + 3 tools + 1 tool = <<1+6+3+1=11>>11 tools How many more tools does the Target multitool have compared to Walmart? ** Then subtract the number of tools in the Walmart multitool from the number in the Target multitool to find the difference: 11 tools - 6 tools = <<11-6=5>>5 tools #### 5 There are 235 books in a library. On Tuesday, 227 books are taken out. On Thursday, 56 books are brought back and 35 books are taken out again on Friday. How many books are there now?
