At Theo's cafe, he makes 3 egg and 4 egg omelettes. His cafe is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. In the first hour, 5 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second hour, 7 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. In the third hour, 3 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the last hour, 8 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. How many eggs does Theo need to make all the omelettes?
Let's think: In the first and third hour, 5 + 3 = 8 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second and last hour, 7 + 8 = 15 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. To make the 3 egg omelettes, Theo needs 3 x 8 = 24 eggs. To make the 4 egg omelettes, Theo needs 15 x 4 = 60 eggs. To make all the omelettes, he needs 24 + 60 = 84 eggs.. The answer is: 84.

Before he lost one, Policeman O'Brien had 5 more than twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson. If fire chief Simpson has 15 hats, how many hats does Policeman O'Brien now have?
Let's think: Twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson has is 2 * 15 = 30 hats. 5 more than 30 hats is 30 + 5 = 35 hats. One less than 35 hats is 35 - 1 = 34 hats.. The answer is: 34.

Gabe has three songs on his playlist. "The Best Day" is 3 minutes, "Raise the Roof" is 2 minutes, and "Rap Battle" is 3 minutes. How many times can Gabe listen to his entire playlist on the 40-minute ride to his wrestling match?
Let's think: If you add all the songs together, Gabe's playlist is 3 + 2 + 3 = 8 minutes long. During the 40 - minute car ride, Gabe can listen to his 8 - minute playlist 40 / 8 = 5 times.. The answer is: 5.

Lilith originally had five dozen water bottles that she needed to sell at $2 each to get exactly enough money to buy her friend a birthday gift. However, at the store, Lilith realized she could not sell at $2 because the regular price was $1.85 per water bottle in her town, and she had to reduce her price to $1.85 as well to sell her water bottles. Calculate the total amount of money Lilith will have to find to buy her friend the birthday gift after selling her water bottles at the reduced cost.
Let's think:
Lilith had 5 dozen water bottles, and since a dozen has 12 water bottles, the total number of water bottles she had was 12 bottles / dozen * 5 dozen = 60 bottles. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith originally had to sell her water bottles for a total of 60 bottles * $2 / bottle = $120. When she reduced the price to $1.85 to meet the regular price, the total amount of money she had from the sales was $1.85 / bottle * 60 bottles = $111. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith has to find $120 - $111 = $9 more.. The answer is: 9.
