Nissa is calculating a jail sentence for a man who was convicted of burglary. The base sentence is 1 year of jail for every $5,000 of goods stolen. The burglar is going to have his sentence length increased by 25% because this is his third offense, plus 2 additional years for resisting arrest. How many years total is the burglar's sentence if he stole $40,000 worth of goods?
Let's think: First find how many years the base sentence will be: $40,000 / 1 year / $5,000 = 8 years. Then find how long the increase for the third offense is: 8 years * 25% = 2 years. Then add the third - offense increase and the sentence for resisting arrest to the base sentence: 8 years + 2 years + 2 years = 12 years.. The answer is: 12.

John is lifting weights. He bench presses 15 pounds for 10 reps and does 3 sets. How much total weight does he move?

Lara is baking cookies using four baking trays. She places five rows of cookies on a baking tray where there are six cookies in one row. How many cookies is she baking?
Let's think: Lara can bake 5 x 6 = 30 cookies in one tray. So, Lara is baking a total of 30 x 4 = 120 cookies.. The answer is: 120.

Jane picked 64 apples at the orchard. She sorted them into 4 different baskets to send to her friends. When Jane wasn't looking her sister took 3 apples from each of the baskets. How many apples are in each basket now?
Let's think:
Before her sister took some there were 64 / 4 = 16 apples in each basket. After her sister took some each pile had 16 - 3 = 13 apples in each basket.. The answer is: 13.
