A company hires employees on a contract basis, depending on the availability of work. In a particular month, they hired 200 more employees on the first week than on the second week, and 150 fewer employees on the second week than on the third week.

Question: If the number of employees hired on the fourth week was twice the number hired in the third week,  and the number of employees on the fourth week was 400, what's the average number of employees hired per week?
Answer: The fourth week had twice the number of employees as the third week, so 400/2 = <<400/2=200>>200 employees on the third week.
In the third week, they hired 150 fewer employees than on the second week, that is 200-150 = <<200-150=50>>50 employees hired on the second week.
The first week had 200 more hirings than the second week, that is 50+200 = <<50+200=250>>250 employees.
The total number of employees hired is 250+50+200+400 = <<250+50+200+400=900>>900.
The average number of employees hired per week is 900/4 = <<900/4=225>>225 employees.

Andrea buys herself a pony for her 30th birthday. She pays $500/month to rent a pasture for it, $10 a day for food, and $60/lesson for two lessons a week.

Question: How much does she spend on her pony in a year?
Answer: First find the annual cost of food: $10/day * 365 days = $<<10*365=3650>>3650
Then find how much she spends a week on lessons: $60/lesson * 2 lessons = $<<60*2=120>>120
Then multiply that weekly cost by the number of weeks per year to find the annual cost: $120/week * 52 weeks/year = $<<120*52=6240>>6240
Then find the annual cost of the pasture: $500/month * 12 months/year = $<<500*12=6000>>6000
Then add all the costs to find the total cost: $6000 + $6240 + $3650 = $<<6000+6240+3650=15890>>15890

Johnny is a dog walker. He can walk 3 dogs at once. He gets paid $15 for a 30-minute walk and $20 for a 60-minute walk. Johnny works for 4 hours per day.

Question: If he always walks the maximum number of dogs possible and 6 dogs have 60-minute walks per day, how much money does he make in a week where he works 5 days?
Answer: Johnny spends 6/3=2 hours walking the 6 dogs who have 60-minute walks.
He makes $20*6=$<<20*6=120>>120 for these walks.
Thus, he has 4-2=2 hours=120 minutes left to walk the other dogs.
He can walk 3*(120/30)=<<3*(120/30)=12>>12 dogs in this time.
Thus, he will make $15*12=$<<12*15=180>>180 on these walks.
In total per day, he makes $120+$180=$<<120+180=300>>300 per day.
Thus, during the week, he makes $300*5=$<<300*5=1500>>1500.

Jason is counting the number of cars that drive by his window. He counted four times as many green cars as red cars, and 6 more red cars than purple cars.

Question: If he counted 312 cars total, how many of them were purple?
Answer: Let g be the number of green cars, r be the number of red cars, and p be the number of purple cars. We know that g + r + p = 315, r = p + 6, and g = 4r
Substitute the second equation into the third equation to get: g = 4r = 4(p + 6) = 4p + 24
Now substitute the equations that express g and r in terms of p in the equation for the total number of cars: 4p + 24 + p + 6 + p = 315
Now combine like terms to get 6p + 30 = 312
Now subtract 30 from both sides to get 6p = 282
Now divide both sides by 6 to get p = 47
#### 47
Brittany, Alex, and Jamy all share 600 marbles divided between them in the ratio 3:5:7.

Question: If Brittany gives Alex half of her marbles, what's the total number of marbles that Alex has?
Answer: The total ratio representing the number of marbles is 3+5 +7 = <<3+5+7=15>>15
From the ratio, the fraction representing the number of marbles that Brittany has is 3/15, which is equal to 3/15*600 = <<3/15*600=120>>120 marbles.
Alex has 5/15*600 = <<5/15*600=200>>200 marbles.
If Brittany gives half of her marbles to Alex, Alex receives 1/2*120 = 60 marbles.
After receiving 60 marbles from Brittany, Alex has 200+60 = <<200+60=260>>260 marbles.

Connor wanted to order some new books to read. The website was offering free shipping over $50.00. They also had a deal that when you buy 4 books; the first two were 25% off. Book 1 cost 13.00 and Book 2 cost 15.00. Book 3 & 4 were both $10.00 each.

Question: How much more money did Connor need to spend to receive free shipping?
Answer: Book 1 was $12.50 and book 2 was $15.00 so 13.00 +15.00 = $28.00
He was buying 4 books, so these 2 were 25% off so 28.00 * .25 = $7.00
These two books came out to 28-7 = $<<28-7=21.00>>21.00
Books 3 & 4 were both $10 each so 2*10 = $20.00
When you add all 4 books together, 21+20 = $<<21+20=41.00>>41.00
To get free shipping he would need to spend 50-41 = $<<50-41=9.00>>9.00 more on books

Trish likes to go for walks every day. One day, she goes on a 1-mile walk. Every subsequent day, she doubles the distance she walked the previous day.

Question: On what day does she walk more than 10 times further than she did on the first day?
Answer: Trish walks 1 mile on the first day, and since she walks double the previous day's amount each day that means she walks 1*2=<<1*2=2>>2 miles the second day.
On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 2 miles, meaning she walks 2*2=<<2*2=4>>4 miles that day.
On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 4 miles, meaning she walks 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 miles that day.
On the following day, she walks double the distance of the previous day's total of 8 miles, meaning she walks 8*2=<<8*2=16>>16 miles that day.
As we're looking for the first day that her distance exceeds 10 times her original total, that means we're seeking a mile total of greater than or equal to 10*1= <<10*1=10>>10 miles,
Since she accomplished this on the 5th day of walking, the answer is <<5=5>>5.

The mom ordered lobster for $25.50, the dad ordered steak for $35.00 their twin boys both ordered a cheeseburger and fries for $13.50 each. They started their meal with an appetizer that cost 8.50. Everyone also ordered a dessert that cost $6.00 each. They wanted to give a 20% tip for Zach on the bill.

Question: What did the final bill total come to?
Answer: The twins ordered a cheeseburger each so 2*13.50 = $<<2*13.50=27.00>>27.00 for both cheeseburgers
Everyone ordered a dessert so 4*6 = $<<4*6=24.00>>24.00 for dessert
When you add all the meals together they spent 25.50+35.00+27.00+8.50+24.00 = $<<25.50+35.00+27.00+8.50+24.00=120.00>>120.00
Zach's tip was 20% so .20*120.00 = $<<20*.01*120=24.00>>24.00
When you add up the meals $120.00 and Zach's tip of $24.00 then the total cost is 120.00 + 24.00 = $<<120+24.00=144.00>>144.00

It takes a dog groomer 10 minutes to dry a short-haired dog like a beagle. It takes him twice as long to dry a full-haired, fluffy dog like a german shepherd. One morning, he has 6 short-haired dogs to dry and 9 full-haired dogs to dry.

Question: How many hours does it take him to dry all of the dogs?
Answer: It takes 10 minutes to dry the coat of a short-haired dog and twice as long for a full haired dog so they take 10*2 = <<10*2=20>>20 minutes to dry
He had 6 short hair dogs and they took 10 minutes to dry each so they took 6*10= <<6*10=60>>60 minutes to dry
He had 9 full haired dogs that took 20 minutes to dry each so they took 9*20 = <<9*20=180>>180 minutes to dry
Together is takes him 60+180 = <<60+180=240>>240 minutes to dry all of the dogs
60 minutes are in 1 hour and he spends 240 minutes on the dogs so he worked for 240/60 = <<240/60=4>>4 hours drying the dogs

Mr. Mayer bought Corgi dogs for $1000 each. He plans to sell them with a 30% profit.

Question: If one of his friends wants to buy two dogs, how much should his friend pay?
Answer: Mr. Mayer wants to get a $1000 x 30/100 = $<<1000*30/100=300>>300 profit.
So, he will sell each Corgi dog for $1000 + $300 = $<<1000+300=1300>>1300.
Hence, his friend should pay $1300 x 2 = $<<1300*2=2600>>2600.
