An employee makes 30 dollars an hour for the first 40 hours in the workweek and an additional 50% for every hour above 40 in the week. If he works 6 hours for the first 3 days in the workweek and twice as many hours per day for the remaining 2 days, how much money did he make?
Let's think: His overtime pay per hour is 30 * 1.5 = $45 per hour. He works 6 * 2 = 12 hours per day for the last two days. He works 6 + 6 + 6 + 12 + 12 = 42 hours. He gets 42 - 40 = 2 hours of overtime. He makes 40 * 30 + 2 * 45 = $1290 for the week.. The answer is: 1290.

The Period 1 gym class has 5 fewer than twice as many students as in the Period 2 gym class. There are 11 students in the Period 1 gym class. How many are in the Period 2 gym class?
Let's think: Let x be the number of students in the Period 8 gym class. 2x - 5 = 11. 2x = 16. x = 8.. The answer is: 8.

Clyde's four children wanted to go see their favorite band perform. The tickets were expensive so Clyde made a deal with his kids. If the average of their scores on their next math test was higher than 89, then he would buy them tickets to the concert. June earned a 97 on her math test, Patty earned an 85, Josh earned a 100 on his test and Henry earned a 94. What was their average math test score?
Let's think: Together, they scored 97 + 85 + 100 + 94 = 376. There are 4 children so their average math test score is 376 / 4 = 94.. The answer is: 94.

If two piles of toys added together make 120 toys in total, and the larger of the two piles is twice as big as the smaller one, how many toys are in the larger pile?
Let's think:
First, we set up the equation 3x = 120, dividing both sides by three to find that x = 40. Then we multiply X by 2 to find that 40 * 2 = 80. As 80 / 2 = 40, and 40 + 80 = 120, we find the sizes of the two piles as the larger pile is twice as big as the smaller pile, confirming that 80 is the answer.. The answer is: 80.
