Answer this question:Six kids and two adults are going to the circus. Kid's tickets are on sale for only half of the adult tickets. The total cost is $50. How much is one kid's ticket?
Let X be the price of one kid's ticket. So the price of one adult ticket is X * 2. Five kids and two adults are going to the circus, so 6 * X + 2 * (X * 2) = $50. So 10X = $50. So the price of one kid's ticket is X = $5.
The answer is 5.

Answer this question:On Blacks, Martha goes to the mall to buy clothes on sale. For every 2 jackets she buys, she gets 1 free jacket. For every 3 t-shirts she buys, she gets 1 free t-shirt. Martha decides to buy 4 jackets and 9 t-shirts. How many clothes will she take home?
For buying 4 jackets Martha gets 4 jackets / 2 = 2 jackets for free. For buying 9 t - shirts, Martha gets 9 t - shirts / 3 = 3 t - shirts for free. Adding the free jackets, Martha gets 4 jackets + 2 jackets = 6 jackets. Adding the free t - shirts, Martha gets 9 t - shirts + 3 t - shirts = 12 t - shirts. In total, Martha will take home 6 jackets + 12 t - shirts = 18 clothes.
The answer is 18.

Answer this question:Nancy is crafting clay pots to sell. She creates 12 clay pots on Monday, twice as many on Tuesday, a few more on Wednesday, then ends the week with 50 clay pots. How many did she create on Wednesday?
On Tuesday, Nancy creates 12 clay pots * 2 = 24 clay plots. So she created a combined total of 12 + 24 = 36 clay pots on Monday and Tuesday. Subtracting this from the number of clay pots she ended the week with means she must have created 50 36 = 14 clay pots on Wednesday.
The answer is 14.

Answer this question: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. How many eggs did she use?
Betty used 2 cups of sugar in her cheesecake, so she used 2 * 1 = 2 times her ratio. Thus, she used 2 * 4 = 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 = 8 eggs.
The answer is 8.
