To keep himself busy in class, Michael makes rubber-band balls. He makes two sizes, large and small. A small ball uses 50 rubber bands. A large ball requires 300 rubber bands. Michael brought a 5,000 pack to class and already made 22 small balls.

Question: How many large balls can he make with the remaining rubber bands?
Answer: Michael has used 1,100 rubber bands because 22 x 50 = <<22*50=1100>>1,100
Michael has 3,900 rubber bands remaining because 5,000 - 1,100 = 3,900
Michael can make 13 large balls because 3,900 / 300 = <<3900/300=13>>13

Deborah has four letters to mail. Standard postage is $1.08 per letter, with an additional charge for international mail. Deborah is mailing two letters internationally, and she is paying $4.60 to mail four letters.

Question: How many cents is the additional charge per letter for international shipping?
Answer: A dollar is 100 cents, so standard postage is 108 cents.
Deborah’s four letters cost 108 * 4 = <<108*4=432>>432 cents for standard postage.
She paid 460 - 432 = <<460-432=28>>28 cents for international shipping on two letters.
Thus, the additional international shipping charge is 28 / 2 = <<28/2=14>>14 cents per letter.

April went to a concert that has two bands. 2/3 of the audience was there for the second band and 1/3 was there for the first band. 50% of the audience there for the second band is under the age of 30. Of this group, 60% are women and there are 20 men.

Question: How many people are at the concert?
Answer: Of the under-30s there for the second band, 40% are men because 100-60 = <<100-60=40>>40
There are fifty under-30s there for the second band because 20 / .4 = <<20/.4=50>>50
There are 100 people there to see the second band because 50 / .5 = <<50/.5=100>>100
There are 150 people at the concert because 100 / (2/3) = <<100/(2/3)=150>>150

Mr Castiel prepared 600 boar sausages on the weekend. He ate 2/5 of them on Monday, half of the remaining on Tuesday and saved the rest for Friday.

Question: If he ate 3/4 of the remaining boar sausages on Friday, how many sausages are left?
Answer: On Monday, Mr Castiel ate 2/5*600 = <<2/5*600=240>>240 sausages.
The remaining number of sausages after he ate 240 on Monday is 600-240 = <<600-240=360>>360
On Tuesday, he ate half of the remaining sausages, a total of 360/2 = <<360/2=180>>180.
The remaining number of sausages that he saved for Friday after eating 180 on Tuesday is 360-180 = <<360-180=180>>180.
On Friday, Mr Castiel ate 3/4*180 = <<3/4*180=135>>135 of the sausages he had kept.
The remaining number of sausages after he ate 135 on Friday is 180-135 = <<180-135=45>>45

Andy gets a cavity for every 4 candy canes he eats. He gets 2 candy canes from his parents and 3 candy canes each from 4 teachers. Then he uses his allowance to buy 1/7 as many candy canes as he was given.

Question: How many cavities does he get from eating all his candy canes?
Answer: First find how many candy canes Andy gets from his teachers: 3 canes/teacher * 4 teachers = <<3*4=12>>12 canes
Then add the number of candy canes he gets from his parents: 12 canes + 2 canes = <<12+2=14>>14 canes
Then divide that number by 7 to find the number of canes he buys: 14 canes / 7 = <<14/7=2>>2 canes
Then add the number of candy canes he gets from each source to find the total number: 2 canes + 14 canes = <<2+14=16>>16 canes
Then divide the total number of candy canes by the number of candy canes it takes to get one cavity to find the number of cavities Andy gets: 16 canes / 4 canes/cavity = <<16/4=4>>4 cavities

John has a very inefficient toilet that uses 5 gallons of water per flush and his household flushed 15 times per day. He replaced it with a toilet that uses 80% less water per flush.

Question: How much water did John save in June?
Answer: He used to use 5*15=<<5*15=75>>75 gallons of water per day.
This means he used 75*30=<<75*30=2250>>2250 gallons a month.
His new toilet uses 5*.8=<<5*.8=4>>4 gallons less water per flush.
So, it only uses 5-4=<<5-4=1>>1 gallon per flush.
That means he uses 1*15=<<1*15=15>>15 gallons per day.
All in all, it accounts for a total usage of 15*30=<<15*30=450>>450 gallons.
So, he saved 2250-450=<<2250-450=1800>>1800 gallons per month.

A farmer is growing corn. For every 4 seeds he plants, he gets one ear of corn, that he can sell for $.1. It costs $.5 for a bag with 100 seeds.

Question: If he makes $40 in profit, how many ears did he sell?
Answer: A single seed costs $.005 because .5 / 100 = <<.5/100=.005>>.005
It costs $.02 cents to grow an ear of corn because .005 x 4 = <<.005*4=.02>>.02
On each ear of corn he makes $.098 profit because .1 - .02 = .08
He sold 500 ears because 40 / .08 = <<40/.08=500>>500

There's a Bobbit worm hiding in the bottom of James' aquarium. Every day it eats 2 fish. After two weeks, James adds 8 more fish to the aquarium. A week later, he discovers the Bobbit worm.

Question: If the aquarium had 60 fish to start with, how many does it have when James discovers the Bobbit worm?
Answer: First find the total number of weeks the Bobbit worm preys on the fish: 2 weeks + 1 week = <<2+1=3>>3 weeks
Then multiply that number by the number of days per week: 3 weeks * 7 days/week = 21 days
Then multiply that number by the number of fish the worm eats per day to find how many fish it eats total: 21 days * 2 fish/day = <<21*2=42>>42 fish
Then add the number of fish James adds to the starting number of fish to find the ending number of fish: 60 fish + 8 fish = <<60+8=68>>68 fish
Then subtract the number of eaten fish to find the number of surviving fish: 68 fish - 42 fish = <<68-42=26>>26 fish

If you take the fastest speed of a rabbit and double it, add 4 to that then double it again you get 188.

Question: How fast is the rabbit?
Answer: You doubled a number to get 188 so in reverse, you would divide by 2 so 188/2 = <<188/2=94>>94
You added 4 to this number and in reverse, you would subtract by 4 so 94-4= <<94-4=90>>90
You doubled a number to get 90 so in reverse you would divide by 2 so 90/2 = <<90/2=45>>45 is the fastest speed

The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years.

Question: If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Answer: In six years, Jane will be 28+6 = <<28+6=34>>34 years old.
Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34/2 = <<34/2=17>>17 years old in six years.
Currently, Dara is 17-6 = <<17-6=11>>11 years old.
Dara has to wait for 25-11 = <<25-11=14>>14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment.

A house’s living room, dining room and kitchen take up 1,000 sq ft. The house also has a guest bedroom and a master bedroom suite.

Question: If the guest bedroom is a quarter of the size of the master bedroom suite, and the house is 2,300 sq ft total, how large is the master bedroom suite?
Answer: The house is 2,300 sq ft and we know the non-bedroom sections take up 1,000 sq ft, so that leaves 2300-1000 = <<2300-1000=1300>>1,300 sq ft for the bedrooms/bathrooms
Let x be the size of the master bedroom suite.
Then the guest bedroom is 0.25x.
So together the bedrooms are x + 0.25x = 1.25x in size.
This means 1.25x = 1300
So x = 1300 / 1.25 = <<1300/1.25=1040>>1040 sq ft

Antonella has ten Canadian coins in her purse that are either loonies or toonies. A loonie equals $1 and a toonie equals $2.

Question: If she bought a $3 Frappuccino and still has $11, how many toonies did she initially have?
Answer: If Antonella spent $3 and now has $11, that means initially she had $3 + $11 = $<<3+11=14>>14
Let the number of loonies Antonella had be L and the number of toonies be T. Initially she had in her purse a total of 1L + 2T = $14
We also know that she had 10 coins in total or 10=L+T
That means initially she had T=10-L toonies
Combining both equations we know that 14=1L+2*(10-L)
If we multiply through the parentheses, we get 14=1L+20-2L
If we combine the variables on one side and the constants on another, we get -6=-1L or L=6
Knowing the value of L, we can solve for T= 10 - L = 10 - 6 = <<10-6=4>>4

Jason is hiring two construction workers, one electrician and one plumber.

Question: If the construction workers each make $100/day, the electrician makes double what a worker is paid and the plumber makes 250% of a worker's salary, how much are the overall labor costs for one day?
Answer: First find how much the electrician earns per day: $100/day * 2 = $<<100*2=200>>200/day
Then find how much the plumber earns per day: $100/day * 250% = $<<100*250*.01=250>>250/day
Then find how much both workers pay together: $100/day/worker * 2 workers = $<<100*2=200>>200/day
Then add the cost of each worker to find the total labor cost per day: $200/day + $250/day + $200/day = $<<200+250+200=650>>650/day

Linda is building a new hotel with two wings. The first wing has 9 floors and each floor has 6 halls each with 32 rooms. The second wing has 7 floors each with 9 halls with 40 rooms each.

Question: How many rooms are in the hotel total?
Answer: First find the number of rooms per floor in the first wing: 32 rooms/hall * 6 halls/floor = <<32*6=192>>192 rooms/floor
Then find the total number of rooms in the first wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 192 rooms/floor * 9 floors = <<192*9=1728>>1728 rooms
Then find the number of rooms per floor in the second wing: 40 rooms/hall * 9 halls/floor = <<40*9=360>>360 rooms/floor
Then find the total number of rooms in the second wing by multiplying that number by the number of floors: 360 rooms/floor * 7 floors = <<360*7=2520>>2520 rooms
Then add the total number of rooms in each wing to find the overall total: 1728 rooms + 2520 rooms = <<1728+2520=4248>>4248 rooms

Rick held a fundraiser and is figuring out who still owes money. He marked on a sheet how much everyone has promised to contribute, but he forgot to note how much some people had actually paid. Altogether, everyone has promised to contribute $400, and Rick has actually received $285. Sally, Amy, Derek, and Carl all still owe money. Sally and Carl both owe equal amounts, Amy owes $30, and Derek owes half as much as Amy.

Question: How much, in dollars, do Sally and Carl each owe?
Answer: In total, Rick is still owed 400 - 285 = $<<400-285=115>>115.
Derek owes half as much as Amy, so he owes $30 / 2 = $<<30/2=15>>15.
This means that Sally and Carl owe a combined total of $115 - $30 – $15 = $<<115-30-15=70>>70.
As they owe equal amounts, they therefore owe $70 / 2 = $<<70/2=35>>35 each.

A special school for deaf and blind students has a deaf student population three times the size of blind student population.

Question: If the number of deaf students is 180, how many students are there altogether?
Answer: Call the number of blind students b. There are 180 deaf students, which is three times the number of blind students, so 3b = 180
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/3 gives b = (1/3)*180 = <<(1/3)*180=60>>60
The total number of students is 180 + 60 = <<180+60=240>>240

Carl is taking a class where the whole grade is based on four tests that are graded out of 100. He got an 80, a 75 and a 90 on his first three tests.

Question: If he wants an 85 average for the class, what is the minimum grade he needs to get on his last test?
Answer: First, find the total number of points Carl needs to earn across all the tests by multiplying his desired average by the number of tests: 85 * 4 = <<85*4=340>>340 marks.
Then subtract all Carl's previous test scores to find the last score he needs to earn: 340 - 80 - 75 - 90 = <<340-80-75-90=95>>95 marks.

Happy Cattle Ranch is home to 200 cows. Every year, the mother cows have enough calves that the number of cows the rancher owns rises by half the number of cows living on the ranch.

Question: If the rancher does not buy or sell any cows, how many cows will the rancher own on Happy Cattle Ranch in two years?
Answer: In one year, the rancher will have 200 + 200/2 = 200 + 100 = <<200+200/2=300>>300 cows.
In two years, the rancher will have 300 + 300/2 = 300 + 150 = <<300+300/2=450>>450 cows.
