Answer this question:Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself?
Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5.
The answer is 5.

Answer this question:Jill runs a business breeding llamas. Nine of her llamas got pregnant with 1 calf, and 5 of them got pregnant with twins. After they give birth, Jill traded 8 of the calves for 2 new adult llamas. Then she sells 1/3 of her herd at the market. How many total llamas (calves and adults) does Jill have now?
The number of calves that will be born as twins is 5 * 2 = 10 calves. The total number of adults and calves before the trade is 9 + 5 + 9 + 10 = 33. Jill had 33 - 8 = 25 left for trading 8 of the claves. But, she got 2 adult llamas in return, so she now has a total of 25 + 2 = 27 llamas. She then sold 27 / 3 = 9 llamas in the market. So, Jill has 27 - 9 = 18 llamas now.
The answer is 18.

Answer this question:Michelle uses 40 beads in making a necklace. She uses 5 blue beads and 2 times as many red beads as blue beads. Then she uses the same number of white beads as the blue and red beads combined. If the rest of the beads she uses are silver, how many silver beads does she use?
Michelle uses 5 x 2 = 10 red beads. She uses 5 + 10 = 15 white beads. So she uses a total of 5 + 10 + 15 = 30 blue, red, and white beads. Therefore, she uses 40 - 30 = 10 silver beads.
The answer is 10.

Answer this question:The Kwik-e-Tax Center charges $50 for a federal return, $30 for a state return, and $80 for quarterly business taxes. If they sell 60 federal returns, 20 state returns, and 10 quarterly returns in one day, what was their total revenue for the day?
First find the total income from the federal returns: $50 / return * 60 returns = $3000. Then find the total income from the state returns: $30 / return * 20 returns = $600. Then find the total income from the quarterly returns: $80 / return * 10 returns = $800. Then add the income from each source to find their total income: $3000 + $600 + $800 = $4400.
The answer is 4400.
