One hundred people attended a party. Fifty percent of the attendees are women, thirty-five percent of them are men, and the rest are children. How many children attended the party?
Let's think: Out of 100 attendees, 100 x 50 / 100 = 50 are women. While 100 x 35 / 100 = 35 are men. So there were a total of 50 + 35 = 85 men and women who attended the party. Thus, 100 - 85 = 15 children attended the party.. The answer is: 15.

Tim drinks 2 bottles that are each 1.5 quarts and an additional 20 ounces a day. How much water does he drink a week?
Let's think: The bottles are 1.5 * 32 = 48 ounces. So he drinks 48 * 2 = 96 ounces from the bottles. So in total he drank 96 + 20 = 116 ounces a day. 116 * 7 = 812 ounces a week.. The answer is: 812.

Diana needs to bike 10 miles to get home. She can bike 3 mph for two hours before she gets tired, and she can bike 1 mph until she gets home. How long will it take Diana to get home?
Let's think: In the first part of her trip, Diana will cover 2 hours * 3 mph = 6 miles. In the second part of her trip, Diana will need to cover an additional 10 miles - 6 miles = 4 miles. To cover 4 miles * 1 mph = will take Diana 4 hours. Total biking time to get home for Diana will be 2 hours + 4 hours = 6 hours.. The answer is: 6.

He’s cooking for 8 people and wants to serve 2 scallops per person so he needs 8 * 2 = 16 scallops. 8 jumbo scallops come in 1 pound and he needs 16 scallops so he will need 16 / 8 = 2 pounds of scallops. A pound of scallops weigh $24.00 and he needs 2 pounds so it will cost him 24 * 2 = $48.00 for scallops.. The answer is: 48.
