Half of 318 is <<318/2=159>>159 159 + 18 = <<159+18=177>>177 stairs 318 + 177 = <<318+177=495>>495 Together they climbed 495 stairs yesterday. #### 495

Trip wanted to watch the new action movie in theaters. An evening ticket cost $10 and a large popcorn & drink combo would cost him an additional $10. He noticed on their website, they had a special offer. From 12 noon to 3 pm, save 20% off tickets and 50% off any food combos. How much money could Trip save by going to the earlier movie?

An evening movie is $10 and the food combo would be $10 so 10 + 10 = $<<10+10=20>>20 If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 20% off the normal ticket price of $10 so 10 * .20 = $<<10*.20=2>>2 If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 50% off the normal food price of $10 so 10 * .50 = $<<10*.50=5>>5 If he saves $2 for the ticket and $5 on food, then 2+5 = $<<2+5=7>>7 saved #### 7

There are 50 goldfish in the pond. Each goldfish eats 1.5 ounces of food per day. 20% of the goldfish need to eat special food that costs $3 an ounce. How much does it cost to feed these fish?

There are 10 fish who need the special food because 50 x .2 = <<50*.2=10>>10 These fish eat 15 ounces a day because 10 x 1.5 = <<10*1.5=15>>15 This food costs $45 because 15 x 3 = <<15*3=45>>45 #### 45

One pie costs $4 for a piece. Each pie is having 3 pieces. During one hour the bakery can make 12 pies. Creating one pie costs the bakery $0.5. Considering the bakery would be able to sell all pie pieces, how much money would it make?

If the bakery can make 12 pies, this means there would be 12 * 3 = <<12*3=36>>36 pie pieces. For all the pieces the bakery would make 36 * 4 = $<<36*4=144>>144. The cost of making 12 pies is 12 * 0.5 = $<<12*0.5=6>>6. That means the bakery would make 144 - 6 = $<<144-6=138>>138. #### 138

Daniel owns a textile company. Every Monday he delivers 20 yards of fabric, and every Tuesday he delivers twice the amount of fabric he delivers on Monday. Every Wednesday, he delivers 1/4 of the amount of fabric he delivers on Tuesday. If each yard of fabric costs $2 and each yard of yarn costs $3, how much does he earn from Monday to Wednesday?

Every Tuesday, Daniel delivers 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 yards of fabric. Every Wednesday, he delivers 40 x 1/4 = <<40*1/4=10>>10 yards of fabric. Thus, he delivers a total of 20 + 40 + 10 = <<20+40+10=70>>70 yards of fabric from Monday to Wednesday. Therefore, Daniel earns $2 x 70 = $<<2*70=140>>140 from it. #### 140

Annie calculated she has three times more toys than Mike, and two less than Tom. Mike has 6 toys. How many toys do Annie, Mike, and Tom have in total?

Annie has three times more toys than Mike, which means she has 3 * 6 = <<3*6=18>>18 more toys than Mike. Annie has a total of 18+6= <<18+6=24>>24 toys. Tom has two toys more than Annie, so he has 24 + 2 = <<24+2=26>>26 toys. In total Annie, Mike, and Tom have 6 + 24 + 26 = <<6+24+26=56>>56 toys. #### 56

Aaron is gathering can lids to take to the recycling center. He uses 3 equal-sized boxes of canned tomatoes and adds the lids he gets to the 14 can lids he already has. He is now taking 53 can lids to the recycling center. How many cans lids did he get from each box?

Calculating the difference between the can lids Aaron has now and the amount that he had initially shows there were 53 – 14 = <<53-14=39>>39 can lids in the boxes of canned tomatoes. As the boxes are the same size, splitting these can lids equally shows that there were 39 / 3 = <<39/3=13>>13 can lids in each box. #### 13

Chenny bought 9 plates at $2 each. She also bought spoons at $1.50 each. How many spoons did Chenny buy if she paid a total of $24 for the plates and spoon?

The cost of 9 plates is $2 x 9 = $<<2*9=18>>18. So, Chenny paid $24 - $18 = $<<24-18=6>>6 for the spoons. Therefore, she bought $6/$1.50 = <<6/1.5=4>>4 spoons. #### 4

A 1000 car parking lot is divided into 3 sections. There are 320 spaces in section 1, and 200 more in section 2 than in section 3. How many spaces are made available in section 2 of the parking lot?

There are a total of 1000 spaces - 320 spaces = <<1000-320=680>>680 spaces in both sections 2 and 3. Let the number of spaces in section 3 be x. The number of spaces in section 2 = x + 200. We know that 320 + x + 200 + x = 1000. Combining like terms, we get 2x = 480 Dividing both sides by 2 produces x = 240. The number of spaces in section 2 is 240 + 200 = <<240+200=440>>440. #### 440

When you take Hiram's age and then add 12, you get 4 less than twice Allyson's age. If Hiram is 40 years old, how old is Allyson?

If Hiram's age is 40, when you add 12, his age becomes 40+12=<<40+12=52>>52 If you add 4 from Hiram's age after adding twelve to his age, you get 52+4 = 56, which is twice Allyson's age. Allyson's age is 56/2 = <<56/2=28>>28 years #### 28

There were 60 women at the party, and three-fourths of these women were married and brought their husbands with them to the party. If 3/4 of the men at the party were single, how many people attended the party?

60 x 3/4 = <<60*3/4=45>>45 females are married which means there are also 45 married males. If 1/4 of the men are married, which represents 45 men, then 4*45=<<4*45=180>>180 is the total number of men who attended the party. Thus, there are a total of 60 women and 180 men, or a total of 60+180=<<60+180=240>>240 people at the party. #### 240

Bubba bought a new two-story warehouse. When empty, the first floor of the building contains twice as much floor space for storage as the second floor. The first items he brought into his empty building were several thousand boxes; and he put them all on the second floor, which filled one-quarter of the second floor storage space. If the boxes used up 5,000 square feet of storage space, how many square feet of storage space is still available in the building?

If 5,000 square feet represents one-quarter of the second floor storage space, then the second floor has 5,000*4=<<5000*4=20000>>20,000 square feet of storage space. Since the first floor has twice as much space as the second floor, then the first floor has 20,000*2=<<20000*2=40000>>40,000 square feet of storage space. Altogether, when empty, the entire building has 20,000+40,000=<<20000+40000=60000>>60,000 square feet of storage space. Since the second floor has 5,000 square feet of storage space filled with boxes, then there are 60,000-5,000=55,000 square feet of unused storage space still available in the building. #### 55,000

Orlan gave one-fourth of his 20-meter rope to Allan. He then gave two-thirds of the remaining to Jack. How many meters of rope is left to Orlan?

Orlan gave Allan 20 x 1/4 = <<20*1/4=5>>5 meters of rope. So he had 20 - 5 = <<20-5=15>>15 meters left. Then he gave 15 x 2/3 = <<15*2/3=10>>10 meters of the rope to Jack. Therefore, Orlan is left with 15 - 10 = <<15-10=5>>5 meters of rope. #### 5

Donna is trying to figure out if her truck is over a particular bridge's weight limit. The bridge can hold 20,000 pounds. Donna's empty truck weighs 12,000 pounds. She's carrying 20 crates of soda that each weigh 50 pounds, 3 dryers that each weigh 3000 pounds, and twice as much weight in fresh produce as in soda. How much does Donna's fully loaded truck weigh?

First find the total weight of the soda by multiplying the number of crates by the weight per crate: 20 crates * 50 pounds/crate = <<20*50=1000>>1000 pounds Then find the weight of the fresh produce by doubling the weight of the soda: 1000 pounds * 2 = <<1000*2=2000>>2000 pounds Now find the weight of the dryers by multiplying the quantity by the weight per item: 3 dryers * 3000 pounds/dryer = <<3*3000=9000>>9000 pounds Now add the empty truck's weight to the weight of all three groups of products to find the fully loaded weight: 12000 pounds + 1000 pounds + 2000 pounds + 9000 pounds = <<12000+1000+2000+9000=24000>>24000 pounds #### 24000

Mary tried to improve her health by changing her diet, but her weight bounced like a yo-yo. At first, she dropped a dozen pounds. Then, she added back twice the weight that she initially lost. Then, she dropped three times more weight than she initially had lost. But finally, she gained back half of a dozen pounds. If she weighed 99 pounds at the start of her change in diet, what was her final weight, in pounds?

Since Mary first weighed 99 pounds, after she dropped a dozen pounds she weighed 99-12=<<99-12=87>>87 pounds. Twice the weight she initially lost is 12*2=<<12*2=24>>24 pounds. So, when she added back twice the weight that she initially lost, her weight jumped to 87+24=<<87+24=111>>111 pounds. Three times more than she initially had lost is 12*3=<<12*3=36>>36 pounds. Therefore, when Mary lost 3 times more than she initially lost, her weight dropped to 111-36=<<111-36=75>>75 pounds. Finally, when Mary gained back half of a dozen pounds, her final weight was 75+6=<<75+6=81>>81 pounds. #### 81
