Part 1

Given the question 'A set of 8 desert dishes costs $20. What was the cost of eah dish?'

Let the cost of each dish be x, then

8x = 20

x = 20 / 8 = 2.5

Therefore, the cost of each dish is $2.5

Part 2

Given the question 'Ben and Jerry together owns 24 comic books. If Ben owns 6 comic books, how many does Jerry own?'

Let the number of comic books owned by Jerry be x, then

x + 6 = 24

x = 24 - 6 = 18

Therefore, Jerry owns 18 comic books.

Part 3.

Given the question: 'Hans Klobber sells vaccum cleaners. He gets to keep one eighth of his sales as commission. How much must he sell in order to earn $1,000?'

Let the amount of sales required to earn $1,000 be x, then

1/8 (x) = $1,000

x = 8 times $1,000 = $8,000

Therefore, the amount of sale he must make to earn $1,000 is $8,000.

Part 4.

Given the question: 'On first down, a football team lost 8 yd. After 2 downs, the team had an overall gain of 20 yd. How many yards were gained on secong down?'

Let the number of yards gained on second down be x, then

-8 + x = 20

x = 20 + 8 = 28

Therefore, the number of yards gained on second down is 28 yards.

Part 5.

Given the question: 'After she wrote a check of $240, May Bounce had a balance in her checking account of -$6. What was her balance before she wrote the check?'

Let her balance before she wrote the check be x, then

x - 240 = -6

x = -6 + 240 = 234

Therefore, the balance in her checking account before she wrote the check was $234.

Part 6.

A bank of 8 floodlights together use 1,000 watts of power. How much power is used by each bulb?

Let the amount of power used by each bulb be x, then

8x = 1,000

x = 1,000 / 8 = 125

Therefore, the amount of power used by each bulb is 125 watts.

Part 7.

Given the question: 'Between noon and midnight, the temperature dropped 20°F. If the temperature was -8°F at midnight, what was the temperature at noon?'

Let the temperature at noon be x, then

x - 20 = -8

x = -8 + 20 = 12

Therefore, the temperature at noon was 12°F.

Part 8

Given the question 'If a strawberry pie is divided into 6 equal slice, each slice has 240 calories. How many calories are in the whole pie?'

Let the number of calories in the whole pie be x, then

1/6 (x) = 240

x = 240 times 6 = 1,440

Therefore, the number of calories in the whole pue is 1,440 calories.

Part 9.

Given the question: 'A chest was resting on the ocean floor 1000 ft below the surface. It was lifted to the deck of a ship 8ft above the surface. How far was the chest lifted?'

Let the distance the chest was lifted be x, then

-1,000 + x = 8

x = 8 + 1,000 = 1,008

Therefore, the distance the chest was lifted is 1,008 ft.

Part 10

Given the question: 'When all the kids who tried out for Little League were divided into teams of 20 players, there were exactly 8 teams. How many teams tried out?'

Let the number of kids that tried out be x, then

1/20 (x) = 8
x = 20 times 8 = 160.

Therefore, the number of kids that tried out was 160 kids.
