Question: At Theo’s cafe, he makes 3 egg and 4 egg omelettes. His cafe is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. In the first hour, 5 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second hour, 7 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. In the third hour, 3 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the last hour, 8 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. How many eggs does Theo need to make all the omelettes?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: In the first and third hour, 5 + 3 = 8 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second and last hour, 7 + 8 = 15 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. To make the 3 egg omelettes, Theo needs 3 x 8 = 24 eggs. To make the 4 egg omelettes, Theo needs 15 x 4 = 60 eggs. To make all the omelettes, he needs 24 + 60 = 84 eggs.
So the answer is 84.


Question: Yasmin deposited a $50 birthday check from her grandmother in her bank account. The check was worth a quarter of her new balance after the check money is added. How many dollars were in her account before she deposited the check?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The $50 check is worth 1 / 4 of Yasmin’s new balance, so her new balance is 50 * 4 = $200. Thus, Yasmin had 200 - 50 = $150 in her account before she deposited the check.
So the answer is 150.


Question: Toby is in a juggling contest with a friend. The winner is whoever gets the most objects rotated around in 4 minutes. Toby has 5 baseballs and each one makes 80 rotations. His friend has 4 apples and each one makes 101 rotations. How many total rotations of objects are made by the winner?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
Toby gets 400 full rotations because 5 x 80 = 400. His friend get 404 rotations because 4 x 101 = 404. The winner rotated 404 objects because 404 > 400.
So the answer is 404.
