Four people in a law firm are planning a party. Mary will buy a platter of pasta for $20 and a loaf of bread for $2. Elle and Andrea will split the cost for buying 4 cans of soda which cost $1.50 each, and chicken wings for $10. Joe will buy a cake that costs $5.

Question: How much more will Mary spend than the rest of the firm put together?
Answer: Mary will spend $20 + $2 = $<<20+2=22>>22.
Elle and Andrea will spend $1.5 x 4 = $<<1.5*4=6>>6 for the soda.
Elle and Andrea will spend $6 + $10 = $<<6+10=16>>16 for the soda and chicken wings.
Elle, Andrea, and Joe together will spend $16 + $5 = $<<16+5=21>>21.
So, Mary will spend $22 - $21 = $<<22-21=1>>1 more than all of them combined.

Dabbie bought 3 turkeys for thanksgiving, the first turkey is 6 kilograms, the second turkey is 9 kilograms, and the weight of the third turkey is twice the weight of the second turkey.

Question: If the cost of a kilogram of turkey is $2, how much does Dabbie spent on all the turkeys?
Answer: Dabbie paid 6 x $2 = $<<6*2=12>>12 for the first turkey.
He paid 9 x $ 2= $<<9*2=18>>18 for the second turkey.
And the weight of the third turkey is 9 x 2 = <<9*2=18>>18 kilograms.
So, the price of the third turkey is 18 x $2 = $<<18*2=36>>36.
Therefore, the total amount he paid for all the turkeys is $12 + $18 + $36 = $<<12+18+36=66>>66.

A baseball team has averaged 15 hits per game over their first 5 games. There are 11 players on the team. Their best player has 25 total hits.

Question: If the other players continue their average over the next 6 games, how many hits will each player average across the 6 games in total?
Answer: The best player averages 5 hits a game because 25 / 5 = <<25/5=5>>5
The rest of the team averages 10 hits a game because 15 - 5 = <<15-5=10>>10
The rest of the players average 1 hit a game because 10 / 10 = <<10/10=1>>1
They will average 6 hits per player over the next 6 games because 6 x 1 = <<6*1=6>>6

Maurice is getting $2 for every finished task. And for every 10 tasks finished, he receives a $6 bonus.

Question: How much money would Maurice make for finishing 30 tasks?
Answer: Starting with the bonus, Maurice would receive it 30 / 10 = <<30/10=3>>3 times.
This means the bonus money, would make up to 3 * 6 = $<<3*6=18>>18.
Maurice would do 30 tasks, so for all of them, he would receive 30 * 2 = $<<30*2=60>>60.
So in total Maurice would make 60 + 18 = $<<60+18=78>>78 for finishing 30 tasks.

The gauge on a water tank shows that the tank is 1/3 full of water. To fill the tank, 16 gallons of water are added.

Question: How many gallons of water does the tank hold when full?
Answer: Given that the tank is 1/3 full of water, and that it requires 16 gallons to fill. 1 full tank -1/3 tank = 2/3 of the tank is empty, which is equal to 16 gallons.
If 2/3 of the tank equals 16 gallons, this means 1/3 of the tank is equal to 16 / 2 gallons = 8 gallons
The total capacity of the tank or how much the tanks holds = 16 + 8 = <<16+8=24>>24 gallons

In a car dealership, Fiona worked for 40 hours a week, John for 30 hours, and Jeremy for 25 hours.

Question: If the employees are paid $20 per hour, how much money does their boss spend paying all of them every month?
Answer: Fiona earns 40 hours/week * $20/hour = $<<40*20=800>>800/week
So she earns $800/week * 4 weeks/month = $3200/month
John earns 30 hours/week * $20/hour = $<<30*20=600>>600/week
So he earns $600/week * 4 weeks/month = $<<600*4=2400>>2400/month
Jeremy earns 25 hours * $20/hour = $<<25*20=500>>500/week
So he earns $500/week * 4 weeks/month = $2000/month
Overall their boss has to spend $3200/month + $2400/month + $2000/month = $<<3200+2400+2000=7600>>7600/month

Mark is a lawyer who works at the county courthouse every day. It takes him 5 minutes to find parking and 3 minutes to walk into the courthouse. 2 days of the week it takes him 30 minutes to get through the metal detector and the other 3 days are less crowded so he gets through in 10 minutes.

Question: How long does he spend on all these activities in a week with 5 work days?
Answer: First find how long Mark spends on parking and walking each day: 5 minutes + 3 minutes = <<5+3=8>>8 minutes
Then multiply that number by his number of workdays to find the total walking and parking time: 8 minutes/day * 5 days/week = <<8*5=40>>40 minutes/week
Then multiply the number of long-wait days by the time of each long wait: 2 days/week * 30 minutes/day = <<2*30=60>>60 minutes/week
Then multiply the number of short-wait days by the time of each short wait: 3 days/week * 10 minutes/day = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes/week
Then add the length of time Mark spends on each activity to find the total time spent: 30 minutes/week + 60 minutes/week + 40 minutes/week = <<30+60+40=130>>130 minutes/week

A truck driver’s heavy semi truck can go 3 miles per gallon of gas. The truck driver needs to put gas in his truck at one gas station, but wants to put the minimum amount he needs to get him to a much cheaper gas station 90 miles away. He already has 12 gallons of gas in his tank.

Question: How many more gallons does the truck driver need to put in his semi to make it to the cheaper gas station?
Answer: The truck driver can go 3 * 12 = <<3*12=36>>36 miles on the gas in his tank.
He needs to go 90 - 36 = <<90-36=54>>54 more miles.
Thus, the truck driver needs to put 54 / 3 = <<54/3=18>>18 more gallons of gas in his semi.

Erin runs her own launderette and needs to cash in the change from the machines. There are 80 quarters and 100 dimes in every machine in the launderette. When Erin empties all of the machines and cashes in the change, she has a total of $90. She had no money before she emptied the machines and each machine held the same amount of money.

Question: How many machines are in the launderette?
Answer: There are 4 quarters in a dollar so in quarters, each machine holds 80 quarters / 4 = $<<80/4=20>>20.
There are 10 dimes in a dollar so in dimes, each machine holds 100 dimes / 10 = $10.
Each machine therefore holds $20 in quarters + $10 in dimes = $<<20+10=30>>30.
So Erin must therefore have $90 total income / $30 income per machine = <<90/30=3>>3 machines.

Mrs. Amaro has 80 roses in her garden. Three-fourths of her roses are red, one-fourth of the remaining are yellow, and the rest are white.

Question: How many of Mrs. Amaro's roses are either red or white?
Answer: Mrs. Amaro has 80 x 3/4 = <<80*3/4=60>>60 red roses.
So, 80 - 60 = <<80-60=20>>20 roses are not red.
Then, 20 x 1/4 = 5 of those 20 non-red roses are yellow.
Hence, 20 - 5 = <<20-5=15>>15 roses are white.
Therefore, 60 + 15 = <<60+15=75>>75 roses are either red or white.

Gretchen is a scuba diver. She likes to hunt for treasure on the ocean's floor, but when she finds something to keep, she must carry it back to the surface of the water to give it to her shipmate on the boat. She can only carry 3 objects at a time while she swims underwater.

Question: If she finds 17 objects underwater, what is the fewest number of trips to the surface of the water she must take to carry all 17 objects to the boat?
Answer: To carry 17 objects, three at a time, it takes 17/3 = 5 and 2/3 loads.
This calculation means that she takes 5 trips carrying 3 objects per trip, and then she takes one additional trip carrying only two objects.
Thus, in reality, she takes 5 + 1 = <<5+1=6>>6 trips to the surface.

To support the school outreach program, Einstein wants to raise $500 by selling snacks. One box of pizza sells for $12, a pack of potato fries sells for $0.30, and a can of soda at $2. Einstein sold 15 boxes of pizzas, 40 packs of potato fries, and 25 cans of soda.

Question: How much more money does Einstein need to raise to reach his goal?
Answer: Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $<<15*12=180>>180 for selling pizzas.
He collected 40 x $0.30 = $<<40*0.30=12>>12 for the 40 packs of potato fries.
He collected 25 x $2 = $<<25*2=50>>50 for the 25 cans of soda.
Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 +$50 = $<<180+12+50=242>>242.
Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $<<500-242=258>>258 more to reach the goal.

Geordie takes a toll road on his drive to work and back every day of his five-day workweek. The toll is $12.50 per car or $7 per motorcycle. Both his car and his motorcycle get 35 miles per gallon of gas and the commute to work is 14 miles. Gas costs him $3.75 per gallon. Geordie drives his car to work three times a week and his motorcycle to work twice a week.

Question: How many dollars does he spend driving to work and back on the same route in a week?
Answer: Geordie pays 12.50 * 3 = $<<12.50*3=37.50>>37.50 for car tolls driving to work three times a week.

Barney's grocery store sold out all of its items at the beginning of the pandemic, so they ordered extra items to restock the shelves. However, they ended up ordering far too much and have to keep the leftover items in the storeroom.

Question: If they ordered 4458 items, sold another 1561 items that day, and have 575 items in the storeroom, how many items do they have left in the whole store?
Answer: Barney's grocery store started with 0 items + 4458 they ordered = <<0+4458=4458>>4458 items total.
That day they sold 1561 items, so 4458 total - 1561 sold = <<4458-1561=2897>>2897 items.
If there are 575 items in the storeroom, then there are 575 + 2897 = <<575+2897=3472>>3472 items in the whole store.

Carla's order at Mcdonald's costs $7.50, but she has a coupon for $2.50.

Question: If she gets an additional 20% discount for being a senior citizen, how much does she pay for her order in dollars total?
Answer: First subtract the coupon amount from the price of the food: $7.50 - $2.50 = $<<7.5-2.5=5.00>>5.00
Then subtract 20% from 100% to find out what percentage of the reduced price Carla pays: 100% - 20% = 80%
Now multiply the price after the coupon by the percentage Carla pays to find the final price: $5.00 * .8 = $<<5*.8=4.00>>4.00

Answer: First find the total time Billy spends on laundry: 2 loads * 9 minutes/load = <<2*9=18>>18 minutes
Then find the total time Anna spends sweeping: 3 minutes/room * 10 rooms = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes
Then find how much longer Anna has already worked than Billy: 30 minutes - 18 minutes = <<30-18=12>>12 minutes
Then divide the difference in work time by the time to wash one dish to find the number of dishes Billy has to wash to work the same amount of time as Anna: 12 minutes / 2 minutes/dish = <<12/2=6>>6 dishes

Uncle Ben has 440 chickens on his farm. 39 are roosters and the rest are hens. 15 of his hens do not lay eggs, and the rest do.

Question: If each egg-laying hen lays 3 eggs, how many eggs will Uncle Ben have?
Answer: Uncle Ben has 440 chickens - 39 roosters = <<440-39=401>>401 hens.
Uncle Ben has 401 hens - 15 that don't lay eggs = <<401-15=386>>386 hens that lay eggs.
The egg-laying hens each lay 3 eggs * 386 hens = <<3*386=1158>>1158 eggs.

Martin went to a store to buy a new television set. He decided to spend no more than $1,000 and the sales clerk offered him the TV for $100 less and an additional 20% off.

Question: How much lower was the price of the television than the amount Martin decided to spend?
Answer: The seller has offered him the TV for 1000 - 100 = $<<1000-100=900>>900.
The discount on the television was 900 * 20/100 = $<<900*20/100=180>>180.
The final price of the television is therefore 900 - 180 = $<<900-180=720>>720.
Martin was able to save 1000 - 720 = $<<1000-720=280>>280.
