Gerald brings chocolate bars to school for his class to share. Each bar contains 8 squares. He brings 7 total bars. His teacher says that for every bar he brings, she will bring two more identical ones. There are 24 students in class. How many squares of chocolate does each student get?
Let's think: The teacher brings 14 bars to school because 7 x 2 = 14. There are 21 total bars of chocolate because 7 + 14 = 21. There are 168 total squares of chocolate because 21 x 8 = 168. Each student gets 7 squares because 168 / 24 = 7.. The answer is: 7.

Travis wants to fly to Australia. The regular tickets cost about $2000. As Travis is a student, he will get a 30% discount on this price. How much does he need to pay for his ticket?
Let's think: The discount on the ticket is 30 / 100 * $2000 = $600. So Travis needs to pay $2000 - $600 = $1400.. The answer is: 1400.

There are 3 numbers that are consecutive integers. Together they have a sum of 18. What is the largest of the 3 numbers?
Let's think: Let N = smallest number. N + 1 = next number. N + 2 = largest number. N + (N + 1) + (N + 2) = 18. 3N + 3 = 18. 3N = 15. N = 5. The largest number is 7.. The answer is: 7.

James's favorite basketball player got paid based on how many points he averaged each week. He gets $10,000 if he averages 30 or more points a game and $8,000 if he averages under 30 points a game. For his last week, in the first game he scored 30 points and in the second game he scored 28 points. In the third game he scored 32 points. In the fourth game he scored 34 points and in the fifth game he scored 26 points. How much does he get paid for the week?
Let's think:
His favorite player scored 150 total points that week because 30 plus 28 plus 32 plus 34 plus 26 equals 150. He averaged 30 points a game because 150 divided by 5 equals 30. He gets paid $10,000 because that's how much he gets if he averages 30 or more points that week.. The answer is: 10000.
