If the normal hours of operation of Jean's business are 4 pm to 10p every day Monday through Friday, and from 6 pm to 10 pm on weekends, how many hours is the business open in a week?

First, we find the number of hours per weekday by subtracting the smaller number time from the larger one, finding 10-4= <<10-4=6>>6 hours per weekday. As there are 5 weekdays, this means the business is open 6*5=30 hours a week on the weekdays. Then we find out the amount of time the business is open on a weekend day, using the same process as we did with the weekdays, finding Jean's business is open 10-6= <<10-6=4>>4 hours each weekend day. Since there are two weekend days, this means they are open 4*2=<<4*2=8>>8 hours on the weekends. We add these two totals together to find that 30+8= <<30+8=38>>38 hours per week. #### 38

Sharon wants to get kitchen supplies. She admired Angela's kitchen supplies which consist of 20 pots, 6 more than three times as many plates as the pots, and half as many cutlery as the plates. Sharon wants to buy half as many pots as Angela, 20 less than three times as many plates as Angela, and twice as much cutlery as Angela. What is the total number of kitchen supplies Sharon wants to buy?

Angela has 6+3*20=<<6+3*20=66>>66 plates. Angela has 1/2*66=<<1/2*66=33>>33 cutlery. Sharon wants to buy 1/2*20=<<1/2*20=10>>10 pots. Sharon wants to buy 3*66-20=<<3*66-20=178>>178 plates. Sharon wants to buy 2*33= <<2*33=66>>66 cutlery. Sharon wants to buy a total of 10+178+66=<<10+178+66=254>>254 kitchen supplies. #### 254

Jason and Jeremy want to paint their wall white and agreed to split the cost of the paint. A gallon of paint costs $45 and can cover up to 400 square feet. How much will each of them contribute to the cost of the paint if their walls have a total area of 1600 square feet and will need a second coat?

They need 1600 square feet / 400 square feet/gallon = <<1600/400=4>>4 gallons of paint for their walls. Since they will do a second coating, then they would need 4 gallons x 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 gallons in all. Eight gallons of paint will cost $45/gallon x 8 gallons = $<<45*8=360>>360. Thus, Jason and Jeremy will each contribute $360/2 = $<<360/2=180>>180. #### 180

Louise is baking cakes for a gathering. She needs 60 cakes in total, and has already produced half this many. Today, she calculates how many cakes she has left to make and bakes half this amount. The next day, she again calculates how many cakes she has left to make and bakes a third of this amount. How many more cakes does Louise need to bake?

Louise has already produced 60 cakes / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 cakes. After calculating how many cakes are left, she bakes another 30 cakes / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 cakes. The next day, she calculates again then bakes another 15 cakes / 3 = <<15/3=5>>5 cakes. She therefore still needs to bake 60 – 30 – 15 – 5 = <<60-30-15-5=10>>10 cakes. #### 10

James needs 200 blueberries to make a pint of blueberry jam and then a quart of blueberry jam to make a blueberry pie. If there are two pints per quart, how many blueberries does James need to pick to make 6 pies?

First find the total number of blueberries needed for one pie: 200 blueberries/pint * 2 pints/pie = 400 blueberries/pie Then multiply that number by the number of pie to find the total number of blueberries James need: 400 blueberries/pie * 6 pies = <<400*6=2400>>2400 blueberries #### 2400

Winwin won $50 in a lottery. She paid 20% for the tax and she paid $5 for the processing fee. How much was she able to take home?

Winwin paid $50 x 20/100 = $<<50*20/100=10>>10 for the tax. So, she has $50 - $10 = <<50-10=40>>40 after paying the tax. Therefore, Winwin was able to take home $40 - $5 = $<<40-5=35>>35 after she paid for the processing fee. #### 35

Nancy's ex owes her child support. He's supposed to pay 30% of his income each year. For 3 years, he made $30,000/year, then he got a 20% raise for the next four years. If he's only ever paid $1,200, how much does he owe her?

First find how much money the ex made during the first 3 years by multiplying his annual earnings by the number of years: 3 years * $30,000/year = $<<3*30000=90000>>90,000/ Then find how much his raise was by multiplying his salary by the percentage raise: $30,000/year * 20% = $<<30000*20*.01=6000>>6,000/year Then add the raise to his original salary to find his new salary: $6,000/year + $30,000/year = $<<6000+30000=36000>>36,000/year Then find how much he made working at the new salary by multiplying it by the 4 years he worked: 4 years * $36,000/year = $<<4*36000=144000>>144,000 Add his earnings from the three years and the four years to find his total earnings: $144,000 + $90,000 = $<<144000+90000=234000>>234,000 Now multiply his total earnings by 30% to find how much he was supposed to pay: $234,000 * 30% = $<<234000*30*.01=70200>>70,200 Now subtract the amount he paid from this number to find how much he owes: $70,200 - $1,200 = $<<70200-1200=69000>>69,000 #### 69000

This week, the fishmonger sold 50 kg of salmon. He sold three times more the following week. What was the total amount of fish sold in two weeks?

The following week, he sold 50 x 3 = <<50*3=150>>150 kg of salmon. So he sold 50 + 150 = <<50+150=200>>200 kg of fish. #### 200

Violet has 3 more than twice as many nails as Tickletoe. If Violet has 27 nails, how many nails do they have together?

Violet has 27-3 = <<27-3=24>>24 nails, twice the number of nails that Tickletoe has. Therefore, Tickletoe has 1/2*24 = <<1/2*24=12>>12 nails. Together, Tickletoe and Violet have 12+27 = <<12+27=39>>39 nails #### 39

Camille goes to the Ice Cream Palace with her husband and two children. Each one orders a different ice cream. Camille orders a banana split, her husband orders a waffle bowl, her daughter orders a single cone, and her son orders a double cone. The cone has 1 scoop of ice cream, the banana split has 3 times as many scoops of ice cream as the cone and the waffle bowl has 1 more scoop than the banana split. How many scoops of ice cream did the ice cream man serve?

The double cone has 2*1=<<2*1=2>>2 scoops of ice cream. The banana split has three times as many scoops of ice cream as the single cone, so it has 3*1=<<3*1=3>>3 scoops of ice cream. The waffle bowl has 1 more scoop of ice cream than the banana split, so it has 3+1=<<3+1=4>>4 scoops of ice cream. The ice cream man served a total of 1+2+3+4=<<1+2+3+4=10>>10 scoops of ice cream. #### 10

Milly is figuring out how long she needs to spend studying. She knows that her math homework will take 60 minutes. Her geography homework will take half as long as her math homework, and her science homework will take time equal to the mean amount of time she spent studying math and geography. How many minutes does Milly spend studying?

First find how long Milly spends studying geography by dividing her math homework time by 2: 60 minutes / 2 = <<60/2=30>>30 minutes. Now find the total amount of time Milly spent on math and geography: 30 minutes + 60 minutes = <<30+60=90>>90 minutes. Now calculate the mean amount of time Milly spends on math and geography by dividing the total time spent by the number of subjects, which is 2: 90 minutes / 2 = <<90/2=45>>45 minutes. Now add the time Milly spent on all three subjects to find the total: 45 minutes + 30 minutes + 60 minutes = <<45+30+60=135>>135 minutes. #### 135

At a certain school, 2/3 of the population are females. One-tenth of the males are foreign students. If the school has 300 students, how many students are non-foreign male students?

There are 300 x 2/3 = <<300*2/3=200>>200 females in the school. So, 300 - 200 = <<300-200=100>>100 are males. Out of the 100 males, 100 x 1/10 = <<100*1/10=10>>10 are male foreign students. Thus, there are 100 - 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 non-foreign male students. #### 90

James and Ali together own $250. If you know that James owns $40 more than Ali, then calculate the amount owned by James.

Let X be the amount owned by James. The amount owned by Ali is X - $40. The total amount owned by both of them X + (X - $40) = $250. Combining like terms, we get X*2 - $40 = $250. Adding $40 to both sides, we get X*2 = $290. Dividing both sides by 2, we get X = $145. #### 145

A plumber is trying to decide which of three different jobs he should take to make the most money. The first job involves fixing three toilets and three sinks at an apartment complex. The second involves two toilets and five sinks at a different apartment complex. The third involves fixing one toilet, two showers and three sinks at a third apartment complex. If the plumber charges $30 to fix a sink, $40 to fix a shower and $50 to fix a toilet, what is the most money the plumber can earn if he can only choose one of these three jobs?

If the plumber chooses the first job, he would earn 3*50 + 3*30 = $<<3*50+3*30=240>>240. If he chooses the second, he'd earn 2*50 + 5*30 = $<<2*50+5*30=250>>250. If he chooses the third, he'd earn 50 + 2*40 + 3*30 = $<<50+2*40+3*30=220>>220. Therefore, the most money he can earn from one of these jobs is $<<250=250>>250. #### 250
