Sample problems

Maria and Richard are working the same shift today. Maria works every 4th day and Richard works every 7th day. How many times will they work the same shift in the next 3 months? (Assume every month has 30 days)

Solve: 3.45 X [32.12 – 1.4 X (9.12 + 7.6) + 4.6] – 0.75 ÷ 2.5 + 9.34 =

Tom scored twice more than Garry at the shooting range. Judy scored 5 points more than than Tom’s score. Ken’s score was 3 times Garry’s score. How many points did each of them score if in total they scored 93 points?

Sixty-six students, half of whom are in grade 5, were asked if they are good at problem solving. Forty-five of the students, including 7/11 of the grade six, said they have great “brain power” for problem solving. How many of the grade five students say they are good at problem solving?

72% of { 2 2/3 of 54 + 2/5 × [6 3/7 – 2 1/3 ÷ ( 12 1/2 – 7 3/5 )] + 13/21 } =

Johnny likes math and he is quite good at it. He decided to make extra money by working in a coffee shop a few days a week. He noticed that a cake and a muffin together cost as much as 6 cups of coffee. He also found out that cake alone costs as much as one muffin and two cups of coffee. Now Johnny is trying to figure out how many muffins will cost as much as one cake and two cups of coffee.

Please help Johnny figure out how many muffins cost as much as one cake and two cups of coffee.
