### Question: Mark is filling a punch bowl that can hold 16 gallons of punch. He fills it part way, then his cousin comes along and drinks half the punch in the bowl. Mark starts to refill the bowl and adds 4 more gallons, but then his friend Sally comes in and drinks 2 more gallons of punch. After that, Mark has to add 12 gallons of punch to completely fill the bowl. How much punch did Mark initially add to the bowl? ### Answer: First, figure out how much punch was left in the bowl before Mark refilled it by subtracting the 12 gallons he added from the bowl's total capacity: 16 - 12 = <<16-12=4>>4 gallons Next, figure out how much punch was in the bowl before Sally came along: 4 + 2 = <<4+2=6>>6 gallons. Next, figure out how much punch was in the bowl before Mark started to refill it: 6 - 4 = <<6-4=2>>2 gallons Finally, multiply that amount by 2 to find out how much punch there was before the cousin drank half: 2 * 2 = <<4=4>>4 gallons #### 4
### Question: Dr. Banks had 330 toothbrushes to give away to his patients. He gave away 53 toothbrushes in January. He gave away 67 toothbrushes in February. In March he gave away 46 toothbrushes. In April and May, he gave away the remaining toothbrushes, half each month. How many more toothbrushes did Dr. Banks give out in the busiest month versus the slowest month? ### Answer: Through March, Dr. Banks gave out 53 + 67 + 46 = <<53+67+46=166>>166 toothbrushes. Before giving away toothbrushes in April, he had 330 -166 = <<330-166=164>>164 toothbrushes remaining. Between April and May, he gave out the remaining 164 / 2 = <<164/2=82>>82 toothbrushes each month. Dr. Banks gave 82 toothbrushes in his busiest month and 46 toothbrushes during the slowest month. The difference would be 82- 46 = <<82-46=36>>36 more toothbrushes in the busiest month. #### 36

The number of people in taxis is 6 × 6 = <<66=36>>36. The number of people in vans is 2 × 5 = <<2*5=10>>10. In total 12 + 36 + 10 = <<12+36+10=58>>58 people went on the hike. #### 58
### Question: Luna, the poodle, is supposed to eat 2 cups of kibble every day. But Luna's master, Mary, and her husband, Frank, sometimes feed Luna too much kibble. One day, starting with a new, 12-cup bag of kibble, Mary gave Luna 1 cup of kibble in the morning and 1 cup of kibble in the evening, But on the same day, Frank also gave Luna 1 cup of kibble in the afternoon and twice as much in the late evening as he had given Luna in the afternoon. The next morning, how many cups of kibble will Mary find remaining in the bag? ### Answer: Mary fed Luna 1+1=2 cups of kibble. Frank fed Luna 1-cup plus twice 1-cup, or 1+2=3 cups of kibble. In total, they fed Luna 2+3=<<2+3=5>>5 cups of kibble. Thus, if the new bag held 12 cups of kibble, the next morning, 12-5=<<12-5=7>>7 cups of kibble remained in the bag. #### 7
### Question: Thirty-six marbles are divided between Mario and Manny in the ratio 4:5. If Manny decided to give 2 marbles to his brother, how many marbles does Manny have now? ### Answer: The marbles are divided into 4 + 5 = <<4+5=9>>9 parts. Each part consists 36/9 = <<36/9=4>>4 marbles. So Manny had 5 parts x 4 = <<5*4=20>>20 marbles. After giving 2 marbles to his brother, he now has 20 - 2 = <<20-2=18>>18 marbles left. #### 18
### Question: Catherine had an equal number of pencils and pens. If she had 60 pens and gave eight pens and 6 pencils to each of her seven friends and kept the rest for herself, how many pens and pencils did she have left? ### Answer: Catherine gave eight pens to each of her seven friends, a total of 87 = <<87=56>>56 pens. She remained with 60-56 = <<60-56=4>>4 pens. When she also gave 6 pencils to each of her seven friends, she gave away 67 = <<67=42>>42 pencils. Since she had the same number of pencils as pens, she remained with 60-42 = <<60-42=18>>18 pencils. The total number of pens and pencils that Catherine remained with is 4+18 = <<4+18=22>>22 #### 22

### Question: 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? ### Answer: 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
### Question: Josh has $300 in his wallet, and $2000 invested in a business. If the business's stock price rises 30% and then he sells all of his stocks, how much money will he have in his wallet? ### Answer: If the business's stock price rises 30%, then his share on the company is worth 30% multiplied by $2000 plus $2000 that he already had. That results in 30% * $2000 + $2000 = $600 + $2000 = $<<30.012000+2000=2600>>2600. Since he already had $300, with $2600 more he will have $300 + $2600 = $<<300+2600=2900>>2900. #### 2900
### Question: Max has 8 children and each of his children has the same number of children as he does except for 2 who have 5 children each.

### Question: Abel leaves for a vacation destination 1000 miles away driving 50 miles per hour. An hour later Alice leaves from the same point for the same destination, traveling 40 miles per hour. How much earlier does Abel reach the destination in minutes?? ### Answer: If Abel needs to travel 1000 miles going 50 miles per hour, this means it will take him 1000/50=<<1000/50=20>>20 hours to get there. If Alice needs to travel 1000 miles going 40 miles per hour, this means it will take her 1000/40=<<1000/40=25>>25 hours to get there. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, this means it will take Abel 2060= <<2060=1200>>1200 minutes to arrive. Similarly, this means it will take Alice 2560= <<2560=1500>>1500 minutes to arrive. This means Abel arrives 1500-1200= <<1500-1200=300>>300 minutes before Alice if they both leave simultaneously. However, since Abel had a head start of 1 hour, which is 60 minutes, this means Abel arrives 300 + 60 = <<300+60=360>>360 minutes ahead of Alice #### 360

If a person adds 3 lines to the poem every month, it will take 66/3= 22 months for the poem to contain 90 lines. #### 22
### Question: Georgina owns a parrot and is teaching it to speak. So far, the parrot knows seventeen phrases. If she is teaching it two phrases a week and it already knew three phrases when she bought it, how many days has Georgina had it? ### Answer: The parrot knew 3 phrases when Georgina bought it, so it has learned 17 - 3 = <<17-3=14>>14 phrases from her. She has been teaching it 2 phrases a week, so she has had it 14 / 2 = <<14/2=7>>7 weeks. There are 7 days in a week, so Georgina has had the parrot for 7 * 7 = <<7*7=49>>49 days. #### 49
### Question: Wally buys bears at the park. A bear is priced at $4.00 for the first bear and a discount of 50 cents per bear is given after that. How much does Wally pay for 101 bears? ### Answer: If the price of an additional bear drops by fifty after the first purchase, the price of each additional bear is $4.00 - $0.50 = $<<4-0.5=3.50>>3.50 Since Wally bought 101 bears, he was charged fifty cents less on 101-1 = <<101-1=100>>100 bears. The total cost for the 100 bears is 100$3.50 = $<<1003.5=350>>350 For the 101 bears, Wally paid a total of $350+$4 = $<<350+4=354>>354 #### 354

### Question: At the duck park, there are 25 mallard ducks and ten less than twice as many geese as ducks. Then, a small flock of 4 ducks arrived at the park and joined the birds already there. If five less than 15 geese leave the park, how many more geese than ducks remain at the park? ### Answer: Initially, twice as many geese as ducks is 252=<<252=50>>50 geese. Therefore, ten less than twice as many geese as ducks is 50-10=<<50-10=40>>40 geese. Then, 4 ducks arrived at the park, resulting in 25+4=<<4+25=29>>29 ducks. Five less than 15 geese is 15-5=<<15-5=10>>10 geese. Thus, if 5 less than 15 geese leave, then 40-10=30 geese remain. Thus, there are 30-29=<<30-29=1>>1 more geese than ducks remaining at the park. #### 1

### Question: The first tank is 300 liters filled while the second tank is 450 liters filled. The second tank is only 45% filled. If the two tanks have the same capacity, how many more liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks? ### Answer: Since 450 liters represents 45%, then each 1% is equal to 450 liters/45 = <<450/45=10>>10 liters. Hence, the capacity of each tank is 10 liters x 100 = <<10*100=1000>>1000 liters. So, the first tank needs 1000 - 300 = <<1000-300=700>>700 liters of water more. While the second tank needs 1000 - 450 = <<1000-450=550>>550 liters more. Therefore, 700 + 550 = <<700+550=1250>>1250 liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks. #### 1250

### Question: Dorothy is 15 years old and wants to go to a museum with her family. Her family consists of her, her younger brother, her parents, and her grandfather. The regular ticket cost is $10. People 18 years old or younger have a discount of 30%. How much money will Dorothy have after this trip, when she currently has $70? ### Answer: The discount per one ticket is 10 * 30/100 = $<<1030/100=3>>3. So Dorothy's and her brother's tickets are cheaper by 2 3 = $<<23=6>>6. Her family consists of 5 people, so the ticket cost stands at 5 10 = $<<5*10=50>>50. Including the discount will lower the price to 50 - 6 = $<<50-6=44>>44 in total. Dorothy will be left with 70 - 44 = $<<70-44=26>>26. #### 26
### Question: Sara builds a birdhouse that is 1 foot wide, 2 feet tall and 2 feet deep. Jake builds a birdhouse that is 16 inches wide, 20 inches tall and 18 inches deep. What is the difference in volume between the two birdhouses? ### Answer: To compare volumes, the measurements must be in the same units. There are 12 inches in 1 ft, so Sara’s birdhouse is 1 ft x 12 inches/ft = 12 inches wide, 2 ft x 12 inches/ft = 24 inches tall, and 2 ft x 12 inches/ft = 24 inches deep. The volume of Sara’s birdhouse is 12 inches x 24 inches x 24 inches = <<122424=6912>>6,912 cubic inches The volume of Jake’s birdhouse is 16 inches x 20 inches x 18 inches = <<162018=5760>>5,760 cubic inches. The difference between the two birdhouses is 6,912 cubic inches – 5,760 cubic inches = <<6912-5760=1152>>1,152 cubic inches. #### 1,152
