Every morning, Carla puts 79 apples in her backpack to eat for lunch. Unfortunately, Buffy stole some of Carla's apples on the school bus, and 26 apples fell out of a hole on the bottom. So at lunchtime, Carla only had 8 apples remaining.

Question: How many apples did Buffy steal from Carla?
Answer: Let B be the number of apples that Buffy stole. Then 79 - B - 26 = 8.
Combining constants produces 53 - B = 8.
Adding B to both sides produces 52 = B + 8
Thus the number of apples stolen by Buffy is B = 53 - 8 = <<53-8=45>>45.

Robi Ney wants to fill a 120-liter tub. He is amused by letting the water run for 1 minute, then closing the water supply for 1 minute, and so on alternating opening and closing the water supply. But the cap at the bottom of the tub is not very airtight and lets 1 liter of water escape per minute. The flow rate of the tap is 12 liters per minute.

Question: How long does it take to fill the tub in minutes?
Answer: In 2 minutes, 12 liters of water flow into the bathtub and 2 liters (2 minutes x 1 liter/minute ) escape.
This will leave 12 – 2 = <<12-2=10>>10 liters of water every two minutes
We can divide the number of liters by the number of minutes to find the average flow per minute, which is 10 / 2 = <<10/2=5>>5 liters per minute
To fill the tub, it will take 120 liters / 5 liters/min = <<120/5=24>>24 min

Jake and Penny are hunting snakes. Jake's snake is 12 inches longer than Jenny's snake.

Question: If the two snakes have a combined length of 70 inches, how long is Jake's snake?
Answer: Let j be the length of Jake's snake and p be length of Penny's snake. We know that j + p = 70, and j = p + 12.
We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to get p + 12 + p = 70
Combining like terms, we get 2p + 12 = 70
Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 2p = 58
Dividing both sides by 2, we get p = 58 / 2 = <<58/2=29>>29 inches. Penny's snake is 29 inches.
Substituting that length in to the equation j = p + 12, we get j = 29 inches + 12 inches = <<29+12=41>>41 inches

Then find the fuel increase caused by the people by multiplying their number by the fuel increase per person: 35 people * 3 gallons/mile/person = <<35*3=105>>105 gallons/mile
Then multiply the number of bags by the fuel increase per bag to find the total fuel increase they cause: 70 bags * 2 gallons/mile/bag = <<70*2=140>>140 gallons/mile
Now add the fuel increases to the base fuel consumption to find the total fuel needed per mile: 140 gallons/mile + 105 gallons/mile + 20 gallons/mile = <<140+105+20=265>>265 gallons/mile
Now multiply the fuel consumption per mile by the number of miles flown to find the total amount of fuel needed: 265 gallons/mile * 400 miles = <<265*400=106000>>106,000 gallons of fuel

Yolanda leaves home for work at 7:00 AM, riding her bike at 20 miles per hour. 15 minutes after she leaves, her husband realizes that she forgot her lunch, and jumps in the car to bring it to her.

Question: If he drives at 40 miles per hour and follows the exact same route as Yolanda, how many minutes will it take him to catch her?
Answer: Let x be the number of minutes it takes Yolanda's husband to catch her.
We know that Yolanda will spend a total of x + 15 minutes riding her bike since she left 15 minutes before her husband.
The distance each person travels is equal to their travel speed times the number of minutes they spend traveling. That means Yolanda's distance is equal to 20 mph * (x + 15) and her husband's distance is equal to 40 mph * x
Yolanda's husband catches up to her when they've both traveled the same distance, which is when 20(x + 15) = 40x
We can simplify this equation by multiplying 20 through the parentheses to get 20x + 300 = 40x
Then we can subtract 20x from each side to get 300 = 20x
Finally, we divide both sides by 20 to find that x = 15.

Village Foods sells good food at a fair price. Their specialty is fresh vegetables.

Question: If they get 500 customers per month, and each customer purchases 2 heads of lettuce for $1 each and 4 tomatoes for $0.5 apiece, then how much money, in dollars, will the store receive in sales of lettuce and tomatoes per month?
Answer: 2 heads of lettuce at $1 apiece is 2*$1=$<<2*1=2>>2.
4 tomatoes at $0.50 apiece is 4*$0.5=$<<4*0.5=2>>2.
Thus, each customer purchases $2+$2=$<<2+2=4>>4 in lettuce and tomatoes per month.
Therefore, if 500 customers per month spend $4 on lettuce and tomatoes, then the store will receive $4*500=$<<4*500=2000>>2000 per month on sales of lettuce and tomatoes.
