Ron's baseball team scored 270 points in the year. There are 9 players on the team. If 5 of them averaged 50 points each, how many points did the remainder average?
Let's think: The first five players scored a total of 250 points because 5 x 50 = 250. There are 4 players left because 9 - 5 = 4. The 4 remaining players scored 20 points because 270 - 250 = 20. The 4 remaining players averaged 5 points because 20 / 4 = 5.. The answer is: 5.

Delores has $450. She buys a computer for $400 and a printer for $40. How much money, in dollars, does Delores have left?
Let's think: The computer and printer cost 400 + 40 = 440 dollars. Delores has 450 - 440 = 10 dollars left.. The answer is: 10.

Wanda walks her daughter .5 miles to school in the morning and then walks .5 miles home. She repeats this when she meets her daughter after school in the afternoon. They walk to school 5 days a week. How many miles does Wanda walk after 4 weeks?
Let's think: She walks .5 miles to school and back 4 times a day so that's .5 * 4 = 2 miles. She walks 2 miles a day for 5 days so that's 2 * 5 = 10 miles. Over 4 weeks of walking 10 miles per week she walks 4 * 10 = 40 miles.. The answer is: 40.

Maddie wants to see how much her mom spends on coffee each week. She makes herself 2 cups of coffee per day. Each cup has 1.5 ounces of coffee beans. A bag of coffee costs $8 and contains 10.5 ounces of beans. She uses 1/2 a gallon of milk per week. A gallon of milk costs $4. She doesn't add any sugar to the coffee. How much does she spend on her coffee per week?
Let's think:
She uses 3 ounces of beans per day because 2 x 1.5 = 3. She uses 21 ounces of beans per week because 7 x 3 = 21. She buys 2 bags of beans per week because 21 / 10.5 = 2. She spends $16 on the beans per week because 2 x 8 = 16. She spends $2 on the milk per week because 4 x (1 / 2) = 2. She spends $18 per week on her coffee because 16 + 2 = 18.. The answer is: 18.
