1. A physical education class has three times as many girls as boys. During a class
basketball game, the girls average 18 points each, and the class as a whole averages
17 points per person. How many points does each boy score on average? - ANSWER-
1. Answer: 14. Since the class has three times as many girls as boys, the class is
composed of 75% girls and 25% boys. To find the number of points each boy scores on
average, we solve the following equation: 0.75*18 + 0.25*X = 17, where X is the number
of points each boy scores on average. Solving for X gives X = 14, so the boys average
14 points per game.
2. Randolph has 8 ties, 6 pairs of pants, and 4 dress shirts. How many days could he
possibly go without wearing the same combination of these three items? - ANSWER-2.
Answer: 192 days. There are 48 different combinations of ties and shirts (8 different ties
for each of the 6 pairs of pants), and then four different shirts for each of these
combinations. In numerical form: 8 x 6 x 4 = 192.
3. John is a mechanic. He makes $8.50 an hour, plus $3 extra for every oil change he
performs. Last week he worked 36 hours and performed 17 oil changes. How much
money did he make? - ANSWER-3. Answer: $357. John's base wage can be figured by
multiplying his pay per hour by the number of hours he worked: $8.50 x 36 = 306. His
bonus for oil changes is calculated by multiplying the payment per oil change by the
number of oil changes performed: 17 x 3 = 51. These two products can then be added
together.
4. A box of staples has a length of 6 cm, a width of 7 cm, and a volume of 378 cm
cubed. What is the height of the box? - ANSWER-4. Answer: 9 cm. Volume is
calculated as the product of length, width, and height, so if height is set as Y: 6 x 7 x Y =
378. This can be rearranged to = Y = 9.
5. What is the average of all of the integers from 13 to 37? - ANSWER-5. Answer: 25.
This kind of problem can be easily solved by simply finding the average of the two
extremes in the range: (13 + 37) / 2 = 25.
6. A basketball player averaged 20 points a game over the course of six games. His

7. Arnold is about to go on a 500-mile car trip. His mechanic recommends that he buy a
