The distance between Arizona and New York is around 2,000 miles by plane. The distance between the 2 different US states increases by 40% if someone decides to drive instead of flying. Missouri is midway between Arizona and New York. How far away is Missouri from New York if someone decides to go by car?
Let's think: The distance between Arizona and New York is 2,000 miles by plane. The distance between Arizona and New York is 40% greater by car, which is 40% * 2,000 = 800 miles. This results in a total of 2,000 + 800 = 2,800 miles between Arizona and New York by car. If Missouri is in the middle of the way between Arizona and New York, someone would drive half of the distance to go from Missouri to New York, which is 2,800 / 2 = 1,400.. The answer is: 1400.

For a fundraiser, Nellie needs to sell 45 rolls of gift wrap. So far, she has sold 1 roll to her grandmother, 10 rolls to her uncle, and 6 rolls to a neighbor. How many more rolls of gift wrap does Nellie need to sell?
Let's think: The number of rolls already sold is 1 + 10 + 6 = 17. Nellie needs to sell 45 − 17 = 28 more rolls of gift wrap.. The answer is: 28.

Susan earned $600 from babysitting over the summer. She went shopping and spent half of it on clothes. Then she spent half of what was left on books. How much money did she have left?
Let's think: Susan spent 600 / 2 = 300 on clothes. After buying clothes she had 600 - 300 = 300 dollars left. She spent 300 / 2 = 150 dollars on books. She had 300 - 150 = 150 dollars left.. The answer is: 150.

Will jogged for 60 / 2 = 30 minutes. He was able to use up 10 x 30 = 300 calories for jogging. The net calorie intake of Will after jogging is 900 - 300 = 600.. The answer is: 600.
