A dragon hoards jewels and gold in its cave. A jealous king snuck in and stole three prize jewels. The dragon burned him to a crisp and stole back its jewels, along with twice as many of the king’s crown jewels from his crown that melted in the dragon’s fire. The new jewels were a third of the number of jewels the dragon had owned before. How many jewels did the dragon own in the end?	The dragon stole 2 * 3 = <<23=6>>6 of the king’s crown jewels. The dragon owned 6 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 jewels before the theft. Thus, the dragon owned 18 + 6 = <<18+6=24>>24 jewels in the end. #### 24
Brenda volunteered to make 3 trays of banana pudding for the family reunion. Each tray of banana pudding would need 80 wafer cookies. A box of wafer cookies only had 60 cookies per box. Each box costs $3.50. How much will it cost her to buy just enough boxes for 3 trays of banana pudding?	Every tray needs 80 cookies and she's making 3 trays so 83 = <<803=240>>240 Every box of cookies has 60 cookies. She needs 240 cookies so 240/60 = <<240/60=4>>4 boxes The boxes cost $3.50 each and she needs 4 boxes so 3.504 = $<<3.504=14.00>>14.00 #### 14

For the funfair, the school organizers ordered 30 rolls of tickets. Each roll of tickets has 100 tickets. The 4th graders bought 30% of the tickets while the 5th graders bought 50% of the remaining tickets. Then the 6th graders bought a total of 100 tickets. How many tickets were left unsold?	There were a total of 30 x 100 = <<30100=3000>>3000 tickets ordered by the school organizers. The 4th graders bought 3000 x 30/100 = <<300030/100=900>>900 tickets. So, there were 3000 - 900 = <<3000-900=2100>>2100 tickets left for the other two grade levels. The 5th graders bought 2100 x 50/100 = <<2100*50/100=1050>>1050 tickets. So, 2100 - 1050 = <<2100-1050=1050>>1050 tickets were left then. Since 100 tickets were bought by the 6th graders, therefore 1050 - 100 = <<950=950>>950 tickets were left unsold. #### 950

Terry's mom brought home 4 different colored dogs from the shelter. The brown dog weighs 4 pounds. The black dog weighs 1 pound more than the brown dog. The white dog weighs twice as much as the brown dog. The grey dog weighs 2 pounds less than the black dog. What's the average weight of all the dogs?	Since the black dog weighs 1 pound more than the brown dog, the black dog weighs 1 + 4 = <<1+4=5>>5 pounds. The white dog weighs 4 * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 pounds. Because the grey dog weighs 2 pounds less than the black dog, the grey dog weighs 5 - 2 = <<5-2=3>>3 pounds. The total weight of all dogs is 4 + 5 + 8 + 3 = <<4+5+8+3=20>>20 pounds. The average weight of all the dogs is 20 / 4 = <<20/4=5>>5 pounds. #### 5

Peter needs to buy birdseed to last a week. He knows that each parakeet eats 2 grams a day. His parrots eat 14 grams a day. His finches eat half of what a parakeet eats. If he has 3 parakeets, 2 parrots and 4 finches, how many grams of birdseed does he need to buy?	His parakeets eat 6 grams a day, because three parakeets times two grams each equals 6 grams. His parrots will eat 28 grams a day because two parrots times 14 grams equals <<214=28>>28 grams. Each finch will eat 1 gram a day, because they eat half of what a parakeet does and 1/2 of 2 equals one. His finches will eat 4 grams a day because four finches times 1 gram equals 4 grams. His birds eat 38 grams a day because 6 plus 28 plus 4 equals <<6+28+4=38>>38 Each week has 7 days Therefore, in a week he will need 266 grams because 7 times 38 equals <<738=266>>266. #### 266
Mr. Zubir bought a pair of pants, a shirt, and a coat. The pair of pants and shirt costs $100. The pants and coat cost $244. The coat costs 5 times as much as the shirt. How much did Mr. Zubir pay for his coat?	Let X be the coat's price. The shirt's price is X/5. The pants and the shirt cost $100, so the pants price is $100 - X/5. The pants and coat costs ($100 - X/5) + X = $244. Combining like terms and subtracting $100 from both sides, we get 4/5*X = $144. Dividing both sides by 4/5, we get X = $180. #### 180
A chocolate box contains 200 bars. Thomas and his 4 friends take 1/4 of the bars and decide to divide them equally between them. One of Thomas's friends doesn't like chocolate bars very much and returns 5 of his bars to the box. Later, his sister Piper comes home and takes 5 fewer bars than those taken in total by Thomas and his friends so she can also share with her friends. What's the total number of bars left in the box?	Thomas and his friends took 1/4200 = <<1/4200=50>>50 bars. The total number of bars left in the box was 200-50 = <<200-50=150>>150 bars. Since there are five of them sharing, each of them got 50/5 = <<50/5=10>>10 bars. After a friend returned 5 bars, there were 150 + 5 = <<150+5=155>>155 bars in the box. Piper took five fewer bars, that is 50 - 5 = <<50-5=45>>45 bars. The total remaining bars left in the box is 155 - 45 = <<155-45=110>>110 bars. #### 110

Rick held a fundraiser and is figuring out who still owes money. He marked on a sheet how much everyone has promised to contribute, but he forgot to note how much some people had actually paid. Altogether, everyone has promised to contribute $400, and Rick has actually received $285. Sally, Amy, Derek, and Carl all still owe money. Sally and Carl both owe equal amounts, Amy owes $30, and Derek owes half as much as Amy. How much, in dollars, do Sally and Carl each owe?	In total, Rick is still owed 400 - 285 = $<<400-285=115>>115. Derek owes half as much as Amy, so he owes $30 / 2 = $<<30/2=15>>15. This means that Sally and Carl owe a combined total of $115 - $30 – $15 = $<<115-30-15=70>>70. As they owe equal amounts, they therefore owe $70 / 2 = $<<70/2=35>>35 each. #### 35

Monica and Sheila are twins. Their mother gave them $50 and told them to buy some toilet paper and spend the remainder on groceries. The toilet paper cost $12. They bought apples, butter, eggs, and a large ham for twice the cost of the toilet paper. Since they still had some leftover money, they called their mother and she gave them permission to buy whatever they wanted for themselves as long as they shared the money evenly. They saw some boots they really liked, but a pair of boots costs 3 times the amount they had left. How much more would Monica and Sheila each have to add of their own money to buy two pairs of boots?	The groceries cost $12 x 2 = $<<122=24>>24 Including the toilet paper, Monica and Sheila had already spent $12 + $24 = $<<12+24=36>>36 This means that they had $50 - $36 = $<<50-36=14>>14 left to spend on themselves. However, the boots cost $14 x 3 = $<<143=42>>42 per pair. Two pairs of boots would cost $42 x 2 = $<<42*2=84>>84 They need another $84 - $14 = $<<84-14=70>>70 to buy two pairs. Each of them needs to add another $70/2 = $<<70/2=35>>35 #### 35

Jane bought pens for her three students. Each student received 62 red pens and 43 black pens. They pooled their pens together and took them from the pool whenever they needed them. After the first month, they had taken a total of 37 pens from the pool. After the second month, they had taken another 41 pens from the pool. Then Jane decided to split the remaining pens equally among them. How many pens will each student get now?	Each student got 62 + 43 = <<62+43=105>>105 pens to start with. They pooled them to get 105 * 3 = <<105*3=315>>315 pens in the pool. They took 37 pens in the first month, leaving 315 - 37 = 278 pens in the pool. They took 41 pens in the second month, leaving 278 - 41 = 237 pens in the pool. 237 pens were split into three equal parts to give 237/3 = <<237/3=79>>79 pens each. #### 79
Hasan is packing up his apartment because he’s moving across the country for a new job. He needs to ship several boxes to his new home. The movers have asked that Hasan avoid putting more than a certain weight in pounds in any cardboard box. The moving company has helpfully provided Hasan with a digital scale that will alert him if a package is too heavy. Hasan is in the kitchen, and he fills a cardboard box with 38 dinner plates. When he checks the box, the scale reports his box is too heavy. Hasan knows each of his plates weighs 10 ounces. He removes a single plate from the box and checks the movers’ scale again. The scale reports his box is still too heavy. Hasan repeats the process again and again. When he has removed enough plates, the movers’ scale shows the box is now an acceptable weight for shipping. Hasan deduces that each shipping box can hold 20 pounds before the scale says the box is too heavy. How many plates did Hasan need to remove from the shipping box?	Let x be the number of plates removed from the box. Hasan figured out the movers' weight limit was 20 pounds. Since a pound is equal to 16 ounces, each box can hold 20 * 16, or <<2016=320>>320 ounces. Each plate weighs 10 ounces, so the weight of the plates in the box after Hasan removes enough plates to satisfy the movers' weight limit is (38 - x) 10 ounces Since these two values are equal, we can write the equation (38 - x) * 10 = 320. Dividing both sides by 10 leaves 38-x = 32. Adding x to both sides gives 38 – x + x = 32 +x, or, 38 = 32 +x Subtracting 32 from both sides gives the value of x, which is the number of plates removed from the box, 38 -32 = 32 + x – 32, or, 6 = x #### 6
A jar on the family's counter contains change they've been saving a trip to the ice cream shop. There are 123 pennies, 85 nickels, 35 dimes, and a number of quarters. All five family members get a double scoop, which costs $3 each. After the trip, they have 48 cents left over. How many quarters were in the jar?	The family spent $15 on ice cream because 5 x 3 = <<53=15>>15 They total amount of change they had was $15.48 because 15 + .48 = <<15+.48=15.48>>15.48 They have $1.23 in pennies because 123 x .01 = <<123.01=1.23>>1.23 They have $4.25 in nickels because 85 x .05 = <<85.05=4.25>>4.25 They have $3.50 in dimes because 35 x .1 = <<35.1=3.5>>3.5 Without the quarters they have a total of $8.98 because 1.23 + 4.25 + 3.5 = <<1.23+4.25+3.5=8.98>>8.98 They have $6.5 worth of quarters because 15.48-8.98 = <<15.48-8.98=6.5>>6.5 They have 26 quarters because 6.5 / .25 = <<6.5/.25=26>>26 #### 26
Barbara has 9 stuffed animals. Trish has two times as many stuffed animals as Barbara. They planned to sell their stuffed animals and donate all the money to their class funds. Barbara will sell her stuffed animals for $2 each while Trish will sell them for $1.50 each. How much money will they donate to their class funds?	Barbara will be able to sell all her stuffed animals for 9 x $2 = $<<92=18>>18. Trish has 9 x 2 = <<92=18>>18 stuffed animals.

If they order 1 small pizza, how many large pizzas do they need to order?	They need 36 slices because 3 x 12 = <<3*12=36>>36 After ordering the small, they need 28 slices because 36 -8 = <<28=28>>28 They need 2 large pizzas because 28 / 14 = <<28/14=2>>2 #### 2
Joseph had socks of many different colors. His dresser drawer was filled to overflowing with red, blue, black, and white socks. Uncertain of how many pairs he had of each color, he began to sort his socks. He discovered that he had three more pairs of blue socks than he had pairs of black socks. He had one less pair of red socks than he had pairs of white socks. He had twice as many blue socks as he had of red socks. And he counted a total of 6 red socks. What is the total number of Joseph's socks?	Starting with 6 red socks, twice the number of blue socks as red meant Joseph had 26=12 blue socks. With one less pair of red socks than white socks, this meant 2 fewer red socks than white, for a total of 6-2=<<6-2=4>>4 white socks. Also, 12 blue socks=6 pairs of blue socks. With three more pairs of blue socks than pairs of black socks, this means he had 6-3=<<6-3=3>>3 pairs of black socks. And three pairs of black socks corresponds to 32=<<3*2=6>>6 black socks. Thus, in total, he had 6+12+4+6=<<6+12+4+6=28>>28 socks. #### 28

She then retires. How many more wins than losses does she have at the end of her career?	Tina wins her first 10, and then wins 5 more for 10+5 = 15 wins before losing 1. She then doubles her number of wins for a total of 15*2=30 wins, before losing 1 more for 1+1=2 losses. For her career she has 30-2=<<30-2=28>>28 more wins than losses. #### 28
John used to go to the gym multiple times a weak but because of lockdowns he hasn't been able to go. He used to lift 700 for squat, 400 for bench, and 800 for deadlift. For squat he lost 30% of his lift. He didn't lose any weight on bench because he was able to train that at home and he lost 200 pounds on deadlift. What is his new total?	He lost 700.3=<<700.3=210>>210 pounds on squat So his squat is now 700-210=<<700-210=490>>490 pounds His deadlift is 800-200=<<800-200=600>>600 pounds So his total is now 490+600+400=<<490+600+400=1490>>1490 pounds #### 1490
Krista started raising chickens. She has 10 hens who lay eggs. She sells the eggs for $3 a dozen. In four weeks, she sold $120 worth of eggs. If she sold all the eggs her hens laid, how many eggs does each hen lay a week?	At $3 a dozen, Krista sold $120 / $3 = <<120/3=40>>40 dozen eggs. If 10 hens laid 40 dozen eggs in 4 weeks, that means 40 dozen eggs / 10 hens = <<40/10=4>>4 dozen eggs were laid by each hen in four weeks. To find out how many eggs each hen laid in a week, 4 dozen eggs / 4 weeks = <<4/4=1>>1 dozen eggs each week. Since a dozen has 12 eggs, each hen lays 121 = <<121=12>>12 eggs each week. #### 12
A pair of dogs are barking back and forth at each other from across the street. The poodle barks twice for every one time the terrier barks. The terrier’s owner hushes it every second time it barks. She has to say “hush” six times before the dogs stopped barking. How many times did the poodle bark?	The terrier barked twice as many times as it was told to hush, so it barked 6 * 2 = <<62=12>>12 times. The poodle barked two times for every terrier bark, so it barked 12 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 times. #### 24

Lara is a contestant on a fun game show where she needs to navigate an inflated bouncy house obstacle course. First she needs to carry a backpack full of treasure through the obstacle course and set it down on the other side, which she does in 7 minutes and 23 seconds. Second, she needs to crank open the door to the obstacle course so she can go back through, which takes her 73 seconds. After she gets through the door she traverses the obstacle course again and makes it out faster without the backpack, in 5 minutes and 58 seconds. How many seconds total does it take her to complete the obstacle course?	It takes Lara 7 minutes and 23 seconds to make it through the obstacle course the first time. 7 minutes x 60 seconds per minute = 420 seconds + 23 seconds = <<7*60+23=443>>443 seconds to get through the first part of the obstacle course. The second stage of the obstacle course she completes in 73 seconds + 443 seconds = <<73+443=516>>516 seconds. It takes 5 minutes and 58 seconds for Lara to get through the obstacle course the second time. 5 minutes x 60 seconds per minute = 300 + 58 seconds = <<300+58=358>>358 seconds. Combined, it takes Lara 516 + 358 seconds = <<516+358=874>>874 seconds for Lara to run the whole obstacle course. #### 874
Mike is feeding the birds at the park. He counts out the seeds as he throws them. He throws 20 seeds to the birds on the left. He throws twice as much to the bigger group of birds on the right. Some more birds flutter over to join the others for lunch and Mike throws 30 more seeds for them. If Mike has 30 seeds left to feed the last of the birds, how many seeds did Mike start with?	Mike started by throwing 20 seeds to the birds and then threw twice as many, 20 + 20(2) = 20 + 40. That totals to 20 + 40 = <<20+40=60>>60 seeds. He also threw 30 other seeds and had 30 left over, which means he started with 60 + 30 + 30 = <<60+30+30=120>>120 seeds. #### 120
John reels in 3 crab baskets a week. Each basket holds 4 crabs. He collects crabs twice a week. Each crab sells for $3. How much money does he make?	He collects 34=<<34=12>>12 crabs each time. He thus collects 122=<<122=24>>24 crabs a week. So he makes 243=$<<243=72>>72 a week. #### 72
Stella collects stamps. She counted 50 pages in her collector's album. There are 5 rows of 30 stamps in each of the first 10 pages of her album. The rest of the pages each have 50 stamps. How many stamps are in Stella's album?	There are 30 x 5 = <<305=150>>150 stamps on each of the first 10 pages. So she has a total of 150 x 10 = <<15010=1500>>1500 stamps in the first 10 pages. There are 50 - 10 = <<50-10=40>>40 pages that have 50 stamps each. There is a total of 40 x 50 = <<40*50=2000>>2000 stamps in the remaining 40 pages. Therefore, Stella has 2000 + 1500 = <<2000+1500=3500>>3500 stamps in her album. #### 3500
Jimmy has a collection of 5 action figures. Each figure is worth $15, except for one which is worth $20. He decided to sell his collection. To do it fast he decided to sell each of them for $5 less than their value. How much will Jimmy earn if he sells all the figures?	Four of the five figures are worth 4 * 15 = $<<415=60>>60. With one more expensive figure, they are all worth 60 + 20 = $<<60+20=80>>80. On all action figures, Jimmy will lose 5 5 = $<<5*5=25>>25 if he sells them cheaper. So if Jimmy sells the figures he will get 80 - 25 = $<<80-25=55>>55. #### 55

The winner is awarded a gift certificate equal to $3.5 for every one hundred meters they run. The winner runs 24 laps around the school. On average, how much did they earn per minute?	They ran 2,400 meters because 24 laps x 100 m/lap = <<24100=2400>>2400 m They ran 200 meters per minute because 2400 m / 12 min = <<2400/12=200>>200 m/min For every minute they ran they earned an average of $7 because $3.5/100m x 200 m/min = $<<3.5/100200=7>>7/min #### 7
Milly and Floretta are having a water balloon fight in their garden. They use 3 packs of their own water balloons and also use 2 packs of a neighbor’s water balloons. Each pack of water balloons contains 6 balloons. Milly and Floretta fill all of the balloons then split them evenly, but Milly takes an extra 7 balloons when Floretta isn't looking. How many water balloons is Floretta left with?	Milly and Floretta have a total of 3 packs of their own water balloons + 2 packs of the neighbor’s water balloons = <<3+2=5>>5 packs of water balloons. So there is a total of 5 packs of water balloons * 6 balloons per pack of water balloons = <<5*6=30>>30 water balloons available. As they split them evenly, they each have 30 water balloons / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 water balloons. After Milly steals some balloons, Floretta is left with 15 – 7 = <<15-7=8>>8 water balloons. #### 8
Gary has 6 pounds of flour. He will use 4 pounds of flour to make cakes which require 0.5 pounds of flour each. The remaining 2 pounds of flour will be used to bake cupcakes, which require 1/5 pounds of flour. He plans to sell the cakes for $2.5 each and the cupcakes for $1 each in the school's bake sale. How much will Gary earn?	Gary can bake 4/0.5 = <<4/0.5=8>>8 cakes from the 4 pounds of flour. He can bake 2/ 1/5 = 10 cupcakes from the 2 pounds of flour. So, he will earn $2.5 x 8 = $<<2.5*8=20>>20 from the cakes. Hence, Gary will earn a total of $20 + $10 = $<<30=30>>30 from baking 8 cakes and 10 cupcakes. #### 30

An old pirate wants to leave his treasure on an island. He has 3500 gold coins. He wants to spread this equally across 5 chests. Additionally, he will put a total of 500 silver coins and twice as many bronze coins as silver, all distributed equally across the chests. How many coins in total will be in each chest?	There will be 3500 gold coins / 5 chest= <<3500/5=700>>700 gold coins in every chest. So, there will be 500 silver coins / 5 chests = <<500/5=100>>100 silver coins in each chest. Then, the number of bronze coins is double the number of silver coins, so there are 2 * 500 = <<2*500=1000>>1000 bronze coins. So there will be 1000 bronze coins / 5 chests = <<1000/5=200>>200 bronze coins in each chest. Finally, the total number of coins in every chest will be 700 gold coins + 100 silver coins + 200 bronze coins = <<700+100+200=1000>>1000 coins. #### 1000
