Olaf collects colorful toy cars. At first, his collection consisted of 150 cars. His family, knowing his hobby, decided to give him some toy cars. Grandpa gave Olaf twice as many toy cars as the uncle. Dad gave Olaf 10 toy cars, 5 less than Mum. Auntie gave Olaf 6 toy cars, 1 more than the uncle.

Question: How many toy cars does Olaf have in total, after receiving all these gifts?
Answer: Dad gave Olaf 10 toy cars,
Mom has given Olaf 5 more toy cars than Dad, so 10 + 5 = <<10+5=15>>15 toy cars
Auntie gave Olaf 6 toy cars,
Uncle has given 1 less toy than Auntie, so 6 - 1 = <<6-1=5>>5 toy cars
Grandpa gave Olaf 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 toy cars.
All the family together gave Olaf 10 +15 + 6 + 5 + 10 = <<10+15+6+5+10=46>>46.
Adding the cars Olaf already had, Olaf's collection has 150 + 46 = <<150+46=196>>196 cars.

#### 32
Bill and Phil are firehouse Dalmatians. Bill has one less than twice as many spots as Phil.

Question: If they have 59 spots combined, how many spots does Bill have?
Answer: If b is the number of spots Bill has and p is the number of spots Phil has, we know that b + p = 59. We also know that b = 2p - 1.
We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to get: 2p - 1 + p = 59
Combining like terms, we get 3p - 1= 59
Adding 1 to both sides, we get 3p = 60
Dividing both sides by 3, we get p = 20
Substituting this back into the equation b = 2p - 1, we get b = 2*20 - 1 = 40 - 1 = <<2*20-1=39>>39

A vegan restaurant serves three kinds of protein: seitan, beans, and lentils. There are ten dishes on their menu. Two have beans and lentils, and two have beans and seitan. The remaining dishes only have one kind of protein in them. Half of the remaining dishes have only beans, and there are three times as many dishes with only beans as with only seitan.

Question: How many dishes include lentils?
Answer: The vegan restaurant serves 10 - 2 - 2 = <<10-2-2=6>>6 dishes with only one kind of protein.
There are 6 / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3 dishes with only beans.
There is 3 / 3 = <<3/3=1>>1 dish with only seitan.
Thus, there are 6 - 3 - 1 = <<6-3-1=2>>2 dishes with only lentils.
There are also 2 dishes with beans and lentils, so there are 2 + 2 = <<2+2=4>>4 dishes that include lentils.

Ralph is a member of the cross-country relay team. There are four other members on the team who run 3 km to complete their part of the race. Ralph runs twice as much as any member on his team to complete his part of the race.

Question: How long is the race?
Answer: 4 team members each run 3 km, so 4 x 3 = <<4*3=12>>12 km.
Ralph runs twice as much as any team member and since team members each run 3 km, Ralph runs 2 x 3 km = <<2*3=6>>6 km.
The length of the race is 6 km run by Ralph + 12 km run by the rest of the team = <<6+12=18>>18 km.

A building has 20 floors. Each floor is 3 meters high, except for the last two floors. The last two floors are each 0.5 meters higher.

Question: How tall is the building?
Answer: There are 20 - 2 = <<20-2=18>>18 floors that are each 3 meters high.
So the first 18 floors is 18 x 3 = <<18*3=54>>54 meters high.
The last two floors are each 3 + 0.5 = <<3+0.5=3.5>>3.5 meters high.
So the total height of the last two floors is 3.5 x 2 = <<3.5*2=7>>7 meters.
Therefore, the building is 54 + 7 = <<54+7=61>>61 meters high.

A school canteen sells a sandwich at $2, a hamburger at $2, one stick of hotdog at $1, and a can of fruit juice at $2 each can. Selene buys three sandwiches and a can of fruit juice. Tanya buys two hamburgers and two cans of fruit juice.

Question: How much do Selene and Tanya spend together?
Answer: Three sandwiches cost 3 x $2 = $<<3*2=6>>6.
So, Selene spends $6 + $2 = $<<6+2=8>>8.
Two hamburgers cost 2 x $2 = $<<2*2=4>>4.
Two cans of fruit juice cost 2 x $2 = $<<2*2=4>>4.
Thus, Tanyah spends $4 +$4 = $<<4+4=8>>8.
Therefore, Selene and Tanya spend $8 + $8 = $<<8+8=16>>16.

Julia had to make 6 cakes for the party. Each cake takes 12 minutes to mix and needs 9 more minutes to bake than mix. Then it takes 6 more minutes to cool and decorate than to bake.

Question: How many hours will it take to make all 6 cakes?
Answer: It takes 12 + 9 =<<12+9=21>>21 minutes to bake each cake.
It takes 21 + 6 = <<21+6=27>>27 minutes to cool and decorate each cake.
Therefore, it takes a total of 12 + 21 + 27 = <<12+21+27=60>>60 minutes to make one cake.
Thus, it takes 60/60 = <<60/60=1>>1 hour to bake one cake.
So, it will take 1 x 6 = <<6=6>>6 hours to bake all 6 cakes.

Salaria is growing oranges this summer. She bought two types of trees. She has 50% of tree A and 50% of tree B. Tree A gives her 10 oranges a month and 60% are good. Tree B gives her 15 oranges and 1/3 are good.

Question: If she gets 55 good oranges per month, how many total trees does she have?
Answer: Each tree A gives her six good oranges a month 10 x .6 = <<10*.6=6>>6
Each tree B gives her five good oranges a month because 15 x (1/3) = <<15*(1/3)=5>>5
On average, a tree gives her 5.5 oranges a month because .5(6) + .5(5) = 5.5
She has ten total trees because 55 / 5.5 = <<55/5.5=10>>10

Jo-Bob hopped into the hot air balloon, released the anchor rope, and pulled on the lift chain, which ignited the flame and provided the warm air that caused the balloon to rise. When the lift chain was pulled, the balloon would rise at a rate of 50 feet per minute. But when the chain was not being pulled, the balloon would slowly descend at a rate of 10 feet per minute. During his balloon ride, he pulled the chain for 15 minutes, then released the rope for 10 minutes, then pulled the chain for another 15 minutes, and finally released the chain and allowed the balloon to slowly descend back to the earth.

Question: During his balloon ride, what was the highest elevation reached by the balloon?
Answer: The first 15-minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise 50*15=<<50*15=750>>750 feet.
Releasing the chain for 10 minutes caused the balloon to descend 10*10=<<10*10=100>>100 feet.
The second 15-minute chain pull caused the balloon to rise another 50*15=<<50*15=750>>750 feet.
Thus, at the end of the second chain pull, when the balloon was at its highest elevation, the balloon had risen to an elevation of 750-100+750=<<750-100+750=1400>>1400 feet above the earth's surface.

In a store, there are three types of cheese: white, swiss, and blue cheese. Each cheese is packaged, and there are 200 grams of cheese in each package. The package prices are $5 for white cheese, $6 for swiss cheese, and $8 for blue cheese. Miley needed to get some for her party, and she decided to buy 5 packs of swiss cheese, 600 grams of blue cheese, and one-third less white cheese.

Question: How much did she need to pay for all the cheese?
Answer: For the swiss cheese, Miley paid 5 * 6 = $<<5*6=30>>30.
600 grams of blue cheese means 600 / 200 = <<600/200=3>>3 packages.
So for the blue cheese, Miley paid 3 * 8 = $<<3*8=24>>24.
One-third of the blue cheese means 1/3 * 600 = <<1/3*600=200>>200 grams.
So Miley bought only 600 - 200 = <<600-200=400>>400 grams of white cheese.
Which means 400 / 200 = <<400/200=2>>2 packages.
So for the white cheese, Miley paid 2 * 5 = $<<2*5=10>>10.
So in total for all the cheese, Miley paid 30 + 24 + 10 = $<<30+24+10=64>>64.

Freddy is calling his family on New Year's Eve. He calls his dad, who lives in the same city as him, and they talk for 45 minutes. Then he calls his brother, who lives on the other side of the world, and they talk for 31 minutes. Local calls cost 5 cents a minute, while international calls cost 25 cents a minute.

Question: How many dollars did Freddy spend calling his family on New Year's Eve?
Answer: At 5 cents a minute, calling his father cost Freddy 5* 45 = <<5*45=225>>225 cents.
At 25 cents a minute, calling his brother cost Freddy 25 * 31 = <<25*31=775>>775 cents.
Adding the cost of calling his father and brother, we find that Freddy paid a total of 225 + 775 = <<225+775=1000>>1000 cents.
Since each dollar has 100 cents, Freddy paid 1000 / 100 = <<1000/100=10>>10 dollars

Three companies, A, B, and C, each purchased 10 ad spaces on a newspaper, with each ad space having a size of 12 foot by 5-foot rectangle.

Question: If each square foot ad was charged at $60, how much money did the three pay for the ads combined?
Answer: A size 12 foot by 5-foot rectangle ad takes 12*5 = <<12*5=60>>60 square feet since the area of a rectangle is l*w.
If each company bought 10 ad spaces, the total area that their ads took is 60*10 = <<60*10=600>>600 square feet.
If each square foot of ad space was charged at $60, 600 square feet of ads cost $60*600 = $<<60*600=36000>>36000
If all three companies each purchased an equal number of ad space, together they paid $36000*3 = $<<36000*3=108000>>108000

Jake's dad can drive the distance from their house to the water park in 30 minutes. He spends half that journey driving 28 miles per hour and the other half driving 60 miles per hour on the highway.

Question: If Jake can bike 11 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to bike to the water park?
Answer: First find how long half Jake's dad's trip is: 30 minutes / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 minutes
Then convert the minutes to hours: 15 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = .25 hours
Now find how far Jake's dad travels at 28 miles per hour: .25 hours * 28 miles per hour = <<.25*28=7>>7 miles
Then find how far Jake's dad travels at 60 miles per hour: .25 hours * 60 miles per hour = <<.25*60=15>>15 miles
Now add those distances to find the total distance to the water park: 7 miles + 15 miles = <<7+15=22>>22 miles
Now divide the total distance by Jake's speed to find how long it takes him: 22 miles / 11 miles/hour = <<22/11=2>>2 hours

Jenine can sharpen a pencil 5 times before it runs out. She needs to sharpen a pencil for every 1.5 hours of use. She already has ten pencils and needs to write for 105 hours. A new pencil costs $2.

Question: How much does she need to spend on more pencils to be able to write for 105 hours?
Answer: A pencil last 7.5 hours because 5 x 1.5 = <<5*1.5=7.5>>7.5
The pencils she has will last 75 hours because 10 x 7.5 = <<10*7.5=75>>75
She needs 30 more hours of writing because 105 - 75 = <<105-75=30>>30
She will need 4 more pencils to reach this because 30 / 7.5 = <<30/7.5=4>>4
She will spend $8 on pencils because 4 x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8
