Answer this question:Eric sorted 150 colored pencils into 5 containers for his art class. Before class, another teacher brought him 30 more pencils. How many can he evenly distribute between the five containers now?
Before the extra colored pencils, he had 150 / 5 = 30 colored pencils in each container. With the other colored pencils, he is given he now has 150 + 30 = 180 colored pencils. If you distribute them evenly each container should have 180 / 5 = 36 colored pencils.
The answer is 36.

Answer this question:After collecting all the old electronics in their house, Lauryn made $2000 from selling the items on eBay. If her friend Aurelia also made 70% of what she sold on eBay after selling her used electronics, calculate the total amount of money the two friends made on eBay.
If Lauryn made $2000 from eBay, then her friend made 70 / 100 * $2000 = $1400. In total, the two friends made $2000 + $1400 = $3400.
The answer is 3400.

Answer this question:A coffee shop brews 10 coffee cups per hour on a weekday and 120 coffee cups in total over the weekend. If the coffee shop is open 5 hours a day every single day, how many coffee cups are brewed in 1 week?
On a weekday, the shop produces 10 coffee cups per hour * 5 hours per weekday = 50 coffee cups. The coffee shop therefore brewed 50 coffee cups per day * 5 weekdays in a week = 250 coffee cups. So in total, the coffee shop brewed a total of 250 weekday coffee cups + 120 weekend coffee cups = 370 coffee cups in 1 week.
The answer is 370.
