Grace started her own landscaping business. She charges $6 an hour for mowing lawns, $11 for pulling weeds and $9 for putting down mulch. In September she mowed lawns for 63 hours, pulled weeds for 9 hours and put down mulch for 10 hours.

Question: How much money did she earn in September?
Answer: Grace mowed lawns for 63 hours at $6/hour, so earned 63 * 6 = $<<63*6=378>>378.
Grace pulled weeds for 9 hours at $11/hour, so earned 9 * 11 = $<<9*11=99>>99.
Grace put down mulch for 10 hours at $9/hour, so earned 10 * 9 = $<<10*9=90>>90.
During September Grace earned $378 + $99 + $90 = $<<378+99+90=567>>567.

There are six unicorns in the Enchanted Forest. Everywhere a unicorn steps, four flowers spring into bloom. The six unicorns are going to walk all the way across the forest side-by-side, a journey of 9 kilometers.

Question: If each unicorn moves 3 meters forward with each step, how many flowers bloom because of this trip?
Answer: First convert the total length of the journey from kilometers to meters: 9 kilometers * 1000 meters/kilometer = <<9*1000=9000>>9000 meters
Then divide this by the length of one step to find the number of steps in the journey: 9000 meters / 3 meters/step = <<9000/3=3000>>3000 steps
Then multiply the number of steps by the number of flowers per step to find how many flowers one unicorn creates on the journey: 3000 steps * 4 flowers/step = <<3000*4=12000>>12000 flowers
Then multiply the number of flowers per unicorn by the number of unicorns to find the total number of flowers created: 12000 flowers/unicorn * 6 unicorns = 72,000 flowers

Rick has 130 cards. He decided to only keep 15 cards and so he gave Miguel some of the cards. Then, he saw 8 friends and decided to give them 12 cards each, and the remaining cards were given equally to his 2 sisters.

Question: If each of Rick's sisters got 3 cards, how many cards did Rick give to Miguel?
Answer: After keeping 15 cards, Rick had 130 cards - 15 cards = 115 cards left.
The total number of cards given by Rick to his 8 friends was 8 friends x 12 cards/friend = <<8*12=96>>96 cards.
There were 2 sisters x 3 cards/sister = <<2*3=6>>6 cards given to Rick's sisters.
So, there were 96 cards + 6 cards = <<96+6=102>>102 cards left after Rick gave Miguel some cards.
Therefore, 115 cards - 102 cards = <<115-102=13>>13 cards were given to Miguel.

Dean ordered 2 large pizzas that were each cut into 12 slices. His friends Frank and Sammy came over to enjoy some pizza and watch a movie. Dean was hungry and ate half of the Hawaiian pizza. Frank only ate 3 slices of Hawaiian pizza and Sammy ate a third of the cheese pizza.

Question: How many total slices were left over?
Answer: 2 pizzas were ordered and had 12 slices each for a total of 2*12 = <<2*12=24>>24 slices
Dean ate 1/2 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 slices were left over
Sammy ate 1/3 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12/3 = <<12/3=4>>4 slices were left over
Dean ate 6 slices, Sammy ate 4 and Frank had 3 so 6+4+3 = <<6+4+3=13>>13
They started with 24 slices and 13 slices so 24-13 = <<24-13=11>>11 slices left

Josh and Anna were both born on August 17th, but in different years. To consolidate celebrations they also got married on August 17 when Josh turned 22.

Question: If today they're celebrating 30 years of marriage and their combined age is exactly 5 times what Josh's age was when they married, how old was Anna when they got married?
Answer: We know that Josh must be 30 years older than his age when they got married, therefore he is 30 + 22 = <<30+22=52>>52 years old today
If their current combined age is 5 times the age Josh was when they married (22), then their total combined age is 5 * 22 = <<5*22=110>>110 years
That means that Anna must be 110 - 52 = <<110-52=58>>58 years old today
If they married 30 years ago, Anna must have been 58 - 30 = <<58-30=28>>28 years old when they married

A club opens up and charges $20 to enter. James buys 2 rounds for his 5 friends. He also buys 6 drinks for himself. Drinks cost $6 each. He decides to eat some food so he orders some fried chicken which costs $14. He leaves a 30% tip on everything he orders.

Question: How much did he spend for the night?
Answer: He buys 2*5=<<2*5=10>>10 drinks for his friends
So he orders 10+6=<<10+6=16>>16 total drinks.
The cost of the drinks was 16*6=$<<16*6=96>>96
So his order came out to 96+14=$<<96+14=110>>110
The tip came out to 110*.3=$<<110*.3=33>>33
So his order cost 110+33=$<<110+33=143>>143
Adding in the cover charge means it cost 143+20=$<<143+20=163>>163

Ittymangnark and Kingnook are an Eskimo couple living in the most northern region of the Alaskan wilderness. Together, they live with their child, Oomyapeck. Every day Ittymangnark catches enough fish for the three of them to eat for the day and they split the fish equally between the three of them. But after they have split the fish, they give Oomyapeck all of the eyes, who gives two of the eyes to his dog and eats the rest himself.

Question: How many fish will each of them be given to eat if Oomyapeck eats 22 eyes in a day?
Answer: If the dog eats two eyes and Oomyapeck eats 22 eyes, then there are a total of 2+22=<<2+22=24>>24 eyes.
With 2 eyes per fish, 24 eyes represent 24/2=<<24/2=12>>12 fish.
If they split that number of fish equally amongst the three of them, then each of them will be given 12/3=<<12/3=4>>4 fish to eat.

Lydia has a small pool she uses to bathe her dogs. When full, the pool holds 60 gallons of water. She fills her pool using the garden hose, which provides water at the rate of 1.6 gallons per minute. Unfortunately, her pool has a small hole that leaks water at a rate of 0.1 gallons per minute.

Question: How long will it take for her to fill the pool, in minutes?
Answer: With a garden hose that fills at a rate of 1.6 gallons per minute, and a hole that leaks at 0.1 gallons per minute, the net fill rate becomes 1.6-0.1=<<1.6-0.1=1.5>>1.5 gallons per minute.
Therefore, to fill a 60-gallon pool, it will take 60/1.5=<<60/1.5=40>>40 minutes.

Miss Grayson's class raised $50 for their field trip. Aside from that, each of her students contributed $5 each. There are 20 students in her class, and the cost of the trip is $7 for each student.

Question: After all the field trip costs were paid, how much is left in Miss Grayson's class fund?
Answer: The contribution of the students amounted to $5 x 20 = $<<5*20=100>>100.
So Miss Grayson's class had $100 + $50 = $<<100+50=150>>150 in all.
The cost of the field trip amounted to $7 x 20 = $<<7*20=140>>140.
Therefore, the class of Miss Grayson is left with $150 - $140 = $<<150-140=10>>10.

A plant supplier was able to sell 20 pieces of orchids for $50 each and 15 pieces potted Chinese money plant for $25. The money he earned was then used to pay his two workers $40 each and to buy new pots worth $150.

Question: How much money was left from the plant supplier's earnings?
Answer: The plant supplier earned $50 x 20 = $<<50*20=1000>>1000 for the orchids.
He earned $25 x 15 = $<<25*15=375>>375 for the potted Chinese money plants.
So, his total earnings was $1000 + $375 = $<<1000+375=1375>>1375.
Then he paid $40 x 2 = $<<40*2=80>>80 to his workers.
He used a total of $80 + $150 = $<<80+150=230>>230 for the worker's pay and new pots.
Hence, he was left with $1375 - $230 = $<<1145=1145>>1145 from his earnings.

Erin works in the school cafeteria serving soup. Each bowl of soup has 10 ounces, and Erin can serve 5 bowls per minute. (There are 128 ounces to a gallon.)

Question: If the pot of soup has 6 gallons of soup, how long will it take Erin to serve all the soup, rounded to the nearest minute?
Answer: First find the number of ounces Erin serves per minute: 10 ounces/bowl * 5 bowls/minute = <<10*5=50>>50 ounces/minute
Then find the number of ounces in the pot: 6 gallons * 128 ounces/gallon = <<6*128=768>>768 ounces
Then divide the total amount of soup by the amount of soup Erin serves per minute: 768 minutes / 50 ounces/minute = <<768/50=15.36>>15.36 minutes, which rounds down to 15 minutes

Farmer Red has three milk cows: Bess, Brownie, and Daisy. Bess, the smallest cow, gives him two pails of milk every day. Brownie, the largest cow, produces three times that amount. Then Daisy makes one pail more than Bess.

Question: How many pails of milk does Farmer Red get from them each week?
Answer: Bess produces 2 pails every day.
Brownie produces 3 times as much * 2 = <<3*2=6>>6 pails every day.
Daisy produces 2 + 1 more pail than Bess = <<2+1=3>>3 pails every day.
Bess, Brownie, and Daisy together produce 2 + 6 + 3 = <<2+6+3=11>>11 pails every day.
A week is 7 days, so Farmer Red gets 11 * 7 = <<11*7=77>>77 pails each week.

There were 600 people in the stadium when the football game started. Before the game was over, one-fourth of the boys and one-eighth of the girls left early.

Question: How many people remained to see the end of the game if there were 240 girls at the beginning of the game?
Answer: There were 600 - 240 = <<600-240=360>>360 boys at the beginning of the game.
So, 360 x 1/4 = <<360*1/4=90>>90 boys left early.
And 240 x 1/8 = <<240*1/8=30>>30 girls left early.
A total of 90 + 30 = <<90+30=120>>120 people left early.
Therefore, 600 - 120 = <<600-120=480>>480 people remained to see the end of the game.

When Betty makes cheesecake, she sweetens it with a ratio of one part sugar to four parts cream cheese, and she flavors it with one teaspoon of vanilla for every two cups of cream cheese. For every one teaspoon of vanilla, she uses two eggs. She used two cups of sugar in her latest cheesecake.

Question: How many eggs did she use?
Answer: Betty used 2 cups of sugar in her cheesecake, so she used 2 * 1 = <<2*1=2>>2 times her ratio.
Thus, she used 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 cups of cream cheese.
She uses 1 teaspoon of vanilla for 2 cups of cream cheese, so she used 8 / 2 = 4 teaspoons of vanilla.
For each teaspoon of vanilla, she uses 2 eggs, so she used 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 eggs.

Answer: He spent an extra 500-300=$<<500-300=200>>200 on the video card

Marge planted 23 seeds in her garden. Five of the seeds never grew into plants. A third of the remaining seeds grew, but the plants were eaten by squirrels and rabbits. A third of the number of uneaten plants were strangled by weeds. Marge pulled two weeds, but liked the flowers on one weed and let the plant grow as part of her garden.

Question: How many plants did Marge end up with?
Answer: Marge had 23 - 5 = <<23-5=18>>18 seeds grow into plants.
Rabbits ate 18 / 3 = <<18/3=6>>6 plants.
There were 18 - 6 = <<18-6=12>>12 plants left.
Weeds strangled 12 / 3 = <<12/3=4>>4 plants.
She had 12 - 4 = <<12-4=8>>8 plants left.
Marge kept 1 weed, so she ended up with 8 + 1 = <<8+1=9>>9 plants.
