Jeff wanted to rent an apartment to live in for the next 5 years until he finishes his studies. He found a nice apartment next to his school, the owner asks Jeff to pay $300 each month, Jeff agreed, and for the first 3 years everything went fine, but then the owner wanted to raise the price for each month to $350. Jeff agreed again and continued paying until he graduated.

Question: How much did Jeff end up paying for the apartment throughout the 5 years?
Answer: At first Jeff paid, $300/month x 12 months = $<<300*12=3600>>3,600/year
He paid $3,600/year x 3 years = $10,800 the firsts 3 years.
The final 2 years he paid $350/month x 12 months = $<<350*12=4200>>4,200/year
He paid $4,200/year x 2 years = $<<4200*2=8400>>8,400 the last 2 years.
He paid the owner $10,800 + $8,400 = $<<10800+8400=19200>>19,200 in total.

Reese had a sum of money in her savings account. The company she used to work with was not doing well which is why she lost her job. So she spent 20% of her savings for her expenses in February, 40% of it in March, and $1500 in April.

Question: How much did she have in her savings account if she still has $2900 after spending those amounts?
Answer: The total percentage of money that Reese spent in February and March is 20% + 40% = 60%.
This means the April expenses and the money left in her account make up 100% - 60% = 40% of her savings.
Reese had $2900 + $1500 = $<<2900+1500=4400>>4400 for the April expenses and the money left in her account.
So, $4400 is equal to 40% which means every 1% is equal to $4400/40 = $<<4400/40=110>>110.
Therefore, Reese originally had $110 x 100 = $<<110*100=11000>>11000 in her savings account.

Stacy went to a store to buy some pairs of shorts. Each pair normally cost $10, but there's a discount of 10% on the total cost for people who purchase 3 or more pairs at once.

Question: How much can she save by buying 3 pairs at once as opposed to purchasing them individually at different times?
Answer: Without the discount, each pair cost $10 so 3 pairs cost 3*$10 = $<<10*3=30>>30
With a discount of 10% on the total cost, she can pay only $30-($30*(10/100)) = $<<30-(30*(10/100))=27>>27
By buying 3 at once in order to get the discount, she can save $30-$27 = $3

In the city park, there are various attractions for kids and their parents. The entrance ticket to the park is $5, but for each attraction, you have to pay separately - such ticket costs $2 for kids and $4 for parents.

Question: How much would a family with 4 children, their parents, and her grandmother pay for visiting the park, and one attraction inside?
Answer: The whole family consists of 4 + 2 + 1 = <<4+2+1=7>>7 persons.
The entrance ticket to the park costs the same for every person, so the family would need to pay 7 * 5 = $<<7*5=35>>35 to enter.
For visiting the attraction the tickets would cost 4 * 2 = $<<4*2=8>>8 for the kids.
Their parents and grandmother would need to pay 3 * 4 = $<<3*4=12>>12.
That means a total cost for the family standing at 35 + 8 + 12 = $<<35+8+12=55>>55.

Marnie opens a bag of chips and eats 5 of them to see if she likes them. She does, so she eats 5 more. The bag has 100 chips in it and starting on the second day she has them, Marnie eats 10 each day.

Question: How many days does it take for Marnie to eat the whole bag of chips?
Answer: Marnie has already eaten 5 of the chips + 5 more = <<5+5=10>>10 chips Marnie ate.
The bag has 100 chips in it and Marnie has only eaten 10, 100 - 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 chips left.
If Marnie eats 10 chips a day starting from the second day she has them, it will take her 90 chips in the bag / 10 chips Marine eats a day = <<90/10=9>>9 days to eat the whole bag.
However, Marnie also ate chips on the first day she bought them, so 9 + 1 = <<9+1=10>>10 days to eat the whole bag.

Sol sells candy bars to raise money for her softball team. On the first day, she sells ten candy bars and sells four more candy bars than she sold the previous day each day afterward.

Question: If she sells six days a week and each candy bar costs 10 cents, how much will she earn in a week in dollars?
Answer: Sol will sell 10 + 4 = <<10+4=14>>14 candies on the second day.
She will sell 14 + 4 = <<14+4=18>>18 candies on the third day.
She will sell 18 + 4 = <<18+4=22>>22 candies on the fourth day.
She will sell 22 + 4 = <<22+4=26>>26 candies on the fifth day.
She will sell 26 + 4 = <<26+4=30>>30 candies on the sixth day.
She will sell a total of 10 + 14 + 18 + 22 + 26 + 30 = <<10+14+18+22+26+30=120>>120 candies in a week.
Hence, she will earn 120 x 10 = <<120*10=1200>>1200 cents.
Since 1 dollar is equal to 100 cents, then Sol will earn 1200/100 = $<<1200/100=12>>12

The Science museum sells dinosaur models for $100 each. A certain school bought 2 models for the kindergarten library and also bought twice as many for the elementary library. Since the school bought more than 5 models, there was a 5% reduction in price for each model.

Question: How much did the school pay in all?
Answer: The school bought 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 dinosaur models for the elementary library.
So the school bought a total of 2 + 4 = <<2+4=6>>6 models.
The price of each model was reduced by $100 x 5/100 = $<<100*5/100=5>>5.
Thus, each model cost $100 - $5 = $<<100-5=95>>95.
Therefore, the school paid a total of $95 x 6 = $<<95*6=570>>570.

Answer: 40 slices per watermelon and each slice having 20 black seeds means each watermelon has 20*40=<<20*40=800>>800 black seeds.
40 slices per watermelon and each slice having 20 white seeds means each watermelon has 20*40=<<20*40=800>>800 white seeds.
In total, each watermelon has 800+800=<<800+800=1600>>1600 seeds.

Janeth bought 5 bags of round balloons with 20 balloons in each bag. She also bought 4 bags of long balloons with 30 balloons in each bag. While blowing up the balloons, 5 round balloons burst.

Question: How many balloons are left?
Answer: Janeth bought 5 x 20 = <<5*20=100>>100 round balloons.
She bought 4 x 30 = <<4*30=120>>120 long balloons.
So, she has a total of 100 + 120 = <<100+120=220>>220 balloons.
Since 5 round balloons burst, then there are only 220 - 5 = <<220-5=215>>215 balloons left.

Elijah is painting his living room and decides to buy masking tape to make his painting neater. 2 of his walls are 4 meters wide and the other 2 walls are 6 meters wide. Elijah needs enough masking tape to cover the entire width of each wall and can order the exact amount of masking tape he needs.

Question: How many meters of masking tape does Elijah need to order?
Answer: For 2 of the walls, Elijah will need 2 walls * 6 meters each = <<2*6=12>>12 meters of masking tape.
For the other 2 walls, he will need 2 walls * 4 meters each = <<2*4=8>>8 meters of masking tape.
He will therefore need a total of 12 + 8 = <<12+8=20>>20 meters of masking tape.
