James started a food fight in his school's cafeteria, and the school administration is making him work off the cost of all the food he wasted at minimum wage ($8). James has to pay for 20 wasted pounds of meat at $5/pound, 15 wasted pounds of fruits and vegetables at $4/pound, 60 wasted pounds of bread products at $1.50/pound, and 10 hours of time-and-a-half pay for the janitorial staff, who normally make $10/hour.

Question: How many hours will James have to work to pay for everything?
Answer: First find the total cost of the wasted meat: $5/pound * 20 pounds = $<<5*20=100>>100
Then find the total cost of the wasted vegetables: $4/pound * 15 pounds = $<<4*15=60>>60
Then find the total cost of the wasted bread products: $1.50/pound * 60 pounds = $<<1.5*60=90>>90
Then find the time-and-a-half rate for the janitors: $10/hour * 1.5 = $<<10*1.5=15>>15/hour
Then multiply that by the number of hours to find the total janitorial cost: $15/hour * 10 hours = $<<15*10=150>>150
Then add up all the costs to find the total cost of everything: $100 + $60 + $90 + $150 = $<<100+60+90+150=400>>400
Then divide the total James owes by his hourly wage to find how many hours he needs to work: $400 / $8/hour = <<400/8=50>>50 hours

Helga went shopping for a new pair of shoes. At the first store, she tried on 7 pairs of shoes. At the second store, she tried on 2 more pairs than at the first store. At the third store, she did not try on any shoes, but she did buy a scarf. But at the fourth store, she tried on twice as many pairs of shoes as she did at all three other stores combined, before finally choosing a pair to buy.

Question: What is the total number of pairs of shoes Helga tried on before buying her new shoes?
Answer: At the second store, she tried on 7+2=<<7+2=9>>9 pairs of shoes.
Therefore, at the first three stores, she tried on 7+9+0=<<7+9+0=16>>16 pairs of shoes.
At the fourth store, she tried on 16*2=<<16*2=32>>32 pairs of shoes.
Thus, in total, she tried on 16+32=<<16+32=48>>48 pairs of shoes.

Wild Bill can shoot a pistol while riding his horse at full speed. His horse runs at 20 feet per second, and a bullet fired from his gun flies at a speed of 400 feet per second.

Question: But if he fires a gun while riding his horse, and the gun is aimed in the same direction that the horse is running, how much faster, in feet per second, is the bullet flying than if he fires the bullet in the opposite direction of what the horse was running?
Answer: If he fires a bullet in the same direction as the direction that the horse is running, the total speed of the bullet is the sum of the speed the bullet was propelled out of the gun plus the speed of the horse, for a combined speed of 400+20=<<400+20=420>>420 feet per second.
If he fires a bullet in the opposite direction as the direction in which the horse is running, then the total speed of the bullet is the speed the bullet was propelled out of the gun minus the speed of the horse, for a resulting speed of 400-20=<<400-20=380>>380 feet per second.
Thus, when firing the gun in the same direction as the horse is running, the bullet moves at 420-380=<<420-380=40>>40 feet per second faster than when he fires the bullet in the opposite direction as what the horse is running.

The total cost of paper towels is 7 * $2 = $<<7*2=14>>14
The total cost of tissues is $35 - $15 - $14 = $<<35-15-14=6>>6
The cost of one box of tissues is $6 / 3 = $<<6/3=2>>2.

Jackson is buying school supplies for his third grade class, which has 30 students. Each student needs 5 pens, 3 notebooks, 1 binder and 2 highlighters. Pens cost $0.50, notebooks cost $1.25, binders cost $4.25, and highlighters cost $0.75.

Question: If Jackson gets a $100 teacher discount, how much does he spend on school supplies?
Answer: First calculate the cost of the pens for one student by multiplying the number of pens by the cost per pen: 5 pens * $0.50/pen = $<<5*0.5=2.50>>2.50
Then calculate the cost of the notebooks for one student by multiplying the number of notebooks by the cost per notebook: 3 notebooks * $1.25/notebook = $<<3*1.25=3.75>>3.75
Then calculate the cost of the highlighters for one student by multiplying the number of highlighters by the cost per highlighters: 2 highlighters * $0.75/highlighter = $<<2*0.75=1.50>>1.50
Now add the cost of all the different supplies to find the total cost for one student: $2.50 + $3.75 + $1.50 + $4.25 = $<<2.5+3.75+1.5+4.25=12.00>>12.00
Now multiply the cost per student by the number of students to find the total cost before the discount: 30 students * $12.00/student = $<<30*12=360.00>>360.00
Now subtract the teacher discount to find the final cost: $360.00 - $100.00 = $<<360-100=260.00>>260.00

So, 100% - 60% = 40% of the chips are green.
There are 40%/10% = 4 sets of 10% to make 40%.
Hence, there are 3 chips x 4 sets = <<3*4=12>>12 green chips.

With 82 students, there are 2 students for each computer.

Question: If there are 16 more students, how many computers must they have in total to continue with 2 students per computer?
Answer: 2 students per computer means the total number of computers is 82 / 2 = <<82/2=41>>41 computers.
with the arrival of 16 students, the number of computers that should be added is 16 / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 computers.
all computers together are 41 + 8 = <<41+8=49>>49 computers.

A laboratory needs flasks, test tubes, and safety gear to carry out its experiments. They were given a $325 budget for the month. They bought $150 worth of flasks, spent two-thirds of that amount on test tubes, and used half of the test tube cost on safety gear.

Question: How many dollars of their budget remained?
Answer: The laboratory spent 2 / 3 * 150 = 300 / 3 = $<<2/3*150=100>>100 on test tubes.
They spent a further 100 / 2 = $<<100/2=50>>50 on safety gear.
In all, they spent 150 + 100 + 50 = $<<150+100+50=300>>300.
Thus, 325 - 300 = $<<325-300=25>>25 of the laboratory’s budget remained.
