There are 92 students altogether. Twenty of them ride the school bus home together, 5/8 of the remaining ride their own bike home, and the rest whose houses are near the school walk home.

Question: How many students are walking home?
Answer: If there are 92 students and 20 students take the bus home, the number of students who haven't taken the bus is 92-20 = <<92-20=72>>72 students.
5/8 of the students who didn't take the bus home ride bikes home, a total of 5/8* 72 = <<5/8*72=45>>45 students.
The number of students who neither took the bus nor biked home but walked home is 72-45 = <<72-45=27>>27

Maya wants to learn how to lift and right now she can only lift a fourth of what America can. America can lift 240 pounds. As Maya grows stronger, she can add 10 more pounds to what she previously could lift. America follows this and now she has hit her peak lift at 300 pounds.

Question: If Maya reaches her absolute peak and can lift half of what America can lift, how many more pounds can Maya lift now than when she started?
Answer: Maya can lift 240*0.25=<<240*0.25=60>>60 pounds.
Gaining progress, she can lift up to 60+10=<<60+10=70>>70 pounds.
At her peak, she can lift 300*0.5=<<300*0.5=150>>150 pounds.
Maya's peak is 150 pounds - 60 pounds when she started = <<150-60=90>>90 more pounds than when she started.

Jean has three times as much money as Jane. They have a combined total of $76.

Question: How much money does Jean have?
Answer: Let's assume the total amount of money that Jane has is m.
Since Jean has 3 times as much money as Jane, he has 3*m=3m
Combined, Jean and Jane have a total of m+3m = $76
This evaluates to 4m=$76
The total amount of money that Jane has, represented by m, is m=$76/4
Jane has m=$<<19=19>>19
Since Jean has three times as much money as Jane, Jean has 3*$19=$57

Kimberly went hiking and took a 4-liter bottle full of water with her. The first time she drank from it, she consumed a quarter of the water in the bottle. Later on, she drank 2/3rd of the remaining water.

Question: How much water is left in the bottle (in liters)?
Answer: Her first drink consumed 1/4 * 4 = <<1/4*4=1>>1 liter of water.
Thus there were 4 - 1 = <<4-1=3>>3 liters of water left in the bottle.
Next, she drank 2/3 * 3 = <<2/3*3=2>>2 liters.
Thus, there were 3 - 2 = <<3-2=1>>1 liters remaining.

Mr. and Mrs. Hugo went on a road trip. On the first day, they traveled 200 miles. On the second day, they traveled 3/4 as far. On the third day, they traveled 1/2 as many miles as the first two days combined.

Question: How many miles did they travel for 3 days?
Answer: On the second day, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo traveled 200 x 3/4 = <<200*3/4=150>>150 miles.
They traveled a total of 200 + 150 = <<200+150=350>>350 miles in the first two days.
On the third day, they traveled 350 x 1/2 = <<350*1/2=175>>175 miles.
So, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo traveled a total of 200 + 150 + 175 = <<200+150+175=525>>525 miles for 3 days.

Paul earns $12.50 for each hour that he works. He then has to pay 20% for taxes and fees. After working 40 hours, Paul receives his paycheck.

Question: If he spends 15% of his paycheck on gummy bears, how much, in dollars, does he have left?
Answer: His pay before taxes and fees is $12.50 x 40 hours = $<<12.5*40=500>>500.
He pays $500 * 0.20 = $<<500*0.20=100>>100 for taxes and fees.
Then he had $500 - $100 = $<<500-100=400>>400 remaining money.
He takes out $400 * 0.15 = $<<400*0.15=60>>60 for his gummy bears.
So he's left with $400 - $60 = $<<400-60=340>>340.

John is a door-to-door salesman. He visits 50 houses a day. 20% of them buy something from them. Of those that buy something half buy a $50 set of knives and the other half buy a $150 set of knives.

Question: How much does he sell a week when he works 5 days a week?
Answer: There are 50*.2=<<50*.2=10>>10 houses buying from him per day
Of those 10/2=<<10/2=5>>5 buy each type of knife set
So he gets 5*50=$<<5*50=250>>250 per day from the cheap set
He also gets 5*150=$<<5*150=750>>750 from the expensive set
So he makes a total of 250+750=$<<250+750=1000>>1000 per day
That means he makes 1000*5=$<<1000*5=5000>>5000

It’s exam season and Tristan has several exams to prepare for. On Monday, he studies for 4 hours then studies for twice this long on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday he studies for 3 hours each day. He wants to study for a total of 25 hours over the week and divides the remaining amount of study time evenly between Saturday and Sunday.

Question: How many hours does Tristan spend studying on Saturday?
Answer: On Tuesday, Tristan studies twice as long as he did on Monday and this amounts to 4 hours * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 hours.
So in the first 5 days of the week, he studies for a total of 4 hours Monday + 8 hours Tuesday + 3 hours Wednesday + 3 hours Thursday + 3 hours Friday = 21 hours.
He therefore has 25 planned hours – 21 used hours = <<25-21=4>>4 hours left to study.
As he splits his time evenly over 2 days, he spends 4 hours / 2 = <<4/2=2>>2 hours studying on Saturday.

The total price of both pairs of shoes $20 + $60 = $<<20+60=80>>80
The final discount was $80/4 = $<<80/4=20>>20
The price he ends up paying was $80 - $20 = $<<80-20=60>>60

There were 60 women at the party, and three-fourths of these women were married and brought their husbands with them to the party.

Question: If 3/4 of the men at the party were single, how many people attended the party?
Answer: 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.

Ellie went to visit a circus with Sarah and they both got lost in the house of mirrors. They have to travel through the house of mirrors a few times before they finally get out and when they leave, they discuss how many times they've seen their own reflections. Sarah says that every time they were in the room with tall mirrors, she saw her reflection 10 times and every time they were in the room with wide mirrors, she saw her reflection 5 times. Ellie says that every time they were in the room with tall mirrors, she saw her reflection 6 times and every time they were in the room with wide mirrors she saw her reflection 3 times. They both passed through the room with tall mirrors 3 times each and they both passed through the room with wide mirrors 5 times each.

Question: In total, how many times did Sarah and Ellie see their reflections?
Answer: In the rooms with tall mirrors, Sarah saw her reflection a total of 10 reflections * 3 passes = <<10*3=30>>30 times.
In the rooms with wide mirrors, Sarah saw her reflection a total of 5 reflections * 5 passes = <<5*5=25>>25 reflections.
So Sarah saw her reflection a total of 30 + 25 = <<30+25=55>>55 times.
In the rooms with tall mirrors, Ellie saw her reflection a total of 6 reflections * 3 passes = <<6*3=18>>18 times.
In the rooms with wide mirrors, Ellie saw her reflection a total of 3 reflections * 5 passes = <<3*5=15>>15 times.
So Ellie saw her reflection a total of 18 + 15 = <<18+15=33>>33 times.
Therefore, Sarah and Ellie saw their reflections a total of 55 + 33 = <<55+33=88>>88 times.

Kenny wants to make sure he does more jumping jacks every week than he did the week before. He recorded that last week he did 324 total jumping jacks. On Saturday of this week, he looks at his records and sees that on Sunday he did 34. On Monday he did 20. On Tuesday he skipped a day. On Wednesday he did 123. On Thursday he did 64. On Friday he did 23.

Question: How many does he have to do on Saturday to make sure he beats last week's number?
Answer: He has already done 264 this week because 34 + 20 + 123 + 64 + 23 = <<34+20+123+64+23=264>>264.
If he does 60 he will have done as many as last week because 324 - 264 = <<60=60>>60
He has to do 61 on Saturday because 60 + 1 = <<60+1=61>>61

Edna made cookies for all of her neighbors and left the cookies outside for them to take. She made 150 cookies so her 15 neighbors could get 10 cookies each. However, the neighbor who arrived last told Edna there were only 8 cookies left. Edna thinks it was Sarah who took too many cookies.

Question: If all the other neighbors took the correct amount of cookies, how many cookies did Sarah take?
Answer: Sarah and the final neighbor took the wrong amount, which means that 15 neighbors – 1 Sarah – 1 final neighbor = 13 neighbors took 10 cookies each.
This is a total of 13 neighbors * 10 cookies = <<13*10=130>>130 cookies taken by the first 13 neighbors.
There were only 8 cookies left, so that means the first 13 neighbors and Sarah took a total of 150 – 8 = 142 cookies.
So Sarah must have taken 142 – 130 = <<142-130=12>>12 cookies.

Question: How much is the internal volume in cubic feet?
Answer: The walls take away 2*1=<<2*1=2>>2 inches from each dimension
So the longer sides are 26-2=<<26-2=24>>24 inches
That is 24/12=<<24/12=2>>2 feet
The smaller dimension is 14-2=<<14-2=12>>12 inches
That is 12/12=<<12/12=1>>1 foot
So the internal volume is 2*2*1=<<2*2*1=4>>4 cubic feet

A book has 8 chapters. Beth has read 2 chapters in 3 hours.

Question: If she continues reading at that rate, in how many hours will she be able to finish reading the remaining chapters?
Answer: Beth still needs to read 8 - 2 = <<8-2=6>>6 chapters.
She can read 1 chapter in 3/2 = <<1.5=1.5>>1.5 hours.
Therefore, she will be able to finish reading the remaining chapters in 1.5 x 6 = <<1.5*6=9>>9 hours.

Bob is building a garden on his land, and he wants it to be fenced in to keep out varmints. The garden is a rectangular plot 225 feet long by 125 feet wide. He also wants to have a small 3-foot wide gate to walk through and a larger 10-foot wide gate to move his gardening equipment through.

Question: How much fencing is Bob going to need to fence in his garden, taking into account the two gates?
Answer: The perimeter of the garden is 2 * 225 + 2 * 125 = 450 + 250 = <<2*225+2*125=700>>700 feet.
Minus the two gates, he will need at least 700 - 3 - 10 = <<687=687>>687 feet of fencing.
