Each painter worked **189 hours**.

Here's the breakdown:
1. **Total days worked**: 3 weeks × 7 days/week = **21 days**
2. **Daily work per painter**: $ \frac{3}{8} $ of a day
3. **Total work per painter in days**:  
   $ 21 \text{ days} \times \frac{3}{8} \text{ days/painter} = \frac{63}{8} = 7.875 \text{ days} $
4. **Convert to hours**:  
   $ 7.875 \text{ days} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 189 \text{ hours} $

3. Each pair costs **$12.00**.
4. Total cost: $ 6 \text{ dogs} \times \$12.00 \text{ per pair} = \$72.00 $.

The answer is **100%**.

Here's the breakdown:

1. **Probability of rolling a number > 3**:  
   Numbers > 3 on a 6-sided die: 4, 5, 6 → **3 outcomes**.  
   Probability = $ \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 $.

2. **Probability of rolling two even numbers in a row**:  
   Even numbers on a die: 2, 4, 6 → **3 outcomes** per roll.  
   Probability for one roll = $ \frac{3}{6} = 0.5 $.  
   Probability for two rolls in a row = $ 0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.25 $.

3. **How much more likely is the first event than the second?**  
   Difference in probabilities = $ 0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25 $.  
   Percentage increase relative to the second event:  
   $$
   \frac{0.25}{0.25} \times 100\% = 100\%
   $$

**Final Answer**: The event of rolling a number greater than 3 is **100% more likely** than rolling two even numbers in a row.

The answer is **7,300** more bottles.

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

1. Each bottle covers **20%** of a person's daily energy demand.
2. To cover **100%** of a person's daily energy demand, you need $ \frac{100\%}{20\%} = 5 $ bottles per person.
3. For **2,300 people**, the total number of bottles needed is:
   $$
   2,300 \text{ people} \times 5 \text{ bottles/person} = 11,500 \text{ bottles}
   $$
4. Hortex currently produces **4,200 bottles** per day.
5. The additional bottles needed are:
   $$
   11,500 \text{ bottles} - 4,200 \text{ bottles} = 7,300 \text{ bottles}
   $$

✅ Final answer: **7,300** more bottles.

The problem states you buy **3 baskets of green food and red food** (total of 3 baskets). The discount is **$2 off for each basket of red food**.

Let’s assume you buy **x red baskets** and **(3 - x) green baskets**.

---

### Step-by-step Calculation

1. **Cost of green baskets**:  
   Each green basket costs $25.  
   Total cost for green baskets = $25 \times (3 - x)$

2. **Cost of red baskets**:  
   Each red basket costs $18.  
   Total cost for red baskets = $18 \times x$

3. **Discount for red baskets**:  
   You get $2 off for each red basket.  
   Total discount = $2 \times x$

4. **Total cost after discount**:  
   $$
   \text{Total} = [25(3 - x)] + [18x] - [2x]
   $$
   Simplify:
   $$
   \text{Total} = 75 - 25x + 18x - 2x = 75 - 9x
   $$

---

### Final Answer

Since the problem does not specify how many red baskets you bought, the **total cost depends on x** (number of red baskets):

$$
\boxed{75 - 9x}
$$

This is the **answer** you were asked to show first. If you had a specific number of red baskets (e.g., 1, 2, or 3), you could plug it in to get a numerical value.

The problem states that there were 82 teachers total at Rydell Elementary School. Out of these, 13 were sick. To find the number of teachers who were not sick, subtract the sick teachers from the total:  
$$ 82 - 13 = 69 $$

Additionally, there were 9 substitute teachers called in to help. These substitutes are also counted as teachers present at school that day.

Therefore, the total number of teachers at school that day is:  
$$ 69 \text{ (original teachers present)} + 9 \text{ (substitute teachers)} = 78 $$

The answer is **78**.

$ 30 \text{ liters (tank)} + 60 \text{ liters (rainwater)} = 90 \text{ liters} $

1. **Initial capital**: $5000
2. **First bank**: $4000
3. **Second company**: Twice the first bank's amount = $2 \times 4000 = $8000

Total funds received from banks: $4000 + $8000 = $12,000

**Final capital**: Initial capital + funds received = $5000 + $12,000 = **$17,000**

Mr. Josue now has $17,000 in capital.

2. Two years ago, Liam was **14 years old**.
3. At that time, Liam's age was **twice** Vince's age. So Vince was **7 years old** two years ago.

The solution is derived by tracking the age difference over time and using the given relationship between Liam and Vince's ages two years ago.

Vince is currently **9 years old**.

The problem asks for the cost of each pair of contacts after Pete buys 2 boxes of contacts. Let's break this down step by step.

---

### 🔍 Step 1: Determine the discounted price per box

- Original price per box = $100.00
- Discount = 10%
- Discount amount = $100.00 × 0.10 = $10.00
- Discounted price per box = $100.00 - $10.00 = **$90.00**

---

### 📦 Step 2: Total cost for 2 boxes

- Cost per box after discount = $90.00
- Total cost for 2 boxes = 2 × $90.00 = **$180.00**

---

### 🧮 Step 3: Total number of contacts in 2 boxes

- Each box contains 90 single-use contacts
- Total contacts in 2 boxes = 2 × 90 = **180 contacts**

---

### 💡 Step 4: Cost per pair of contacts

- A "pair" of contacts = 2 contacts
- Total number of pairs in 180 contacts = 180 ÷ 2 = **90 pairs**
- Total cost for all pairs = $180.00
- Cost per pair = $180.00 ÷ 90 = **$2.00**

---

### ✅ Final Answer:

Each pair of contacts will cost **$2.00**.

1. Anna's total budget is $16.
2. After buying books, she has $2 left.
3. Total amount spent (including books) = $16 - $2 = $14.
4. She had already spent $4 before buying the books.
5. Amount spent on books = $14 - $4 = $10.
6. Since she bought 2 books at the same price, each book cost $10 ÷ 2 = $5.

Ray swims a mile in 16 minutes on a cold day. On a warm day, he swims a mile in 2 minutes more than twice the cold day time.

Twice the cold day time: $ 16 \times 2 = 32 $ minutes. Adding 2 minutes: $ 32 + 2 = 34 $ minutes per mile on a warm day.

For 3 miles:
- Cold day: $ 16 \times 3 = 48 $ minutes
- Warm day: $ 34 \times 3 = 102 $ minutes

The difference in time for 3 miles: $ 102 - 48 = 54 $ minutes.

So Ray takes 54 minutes longer to swim 3 miles on a hot day than a cold day.

Okay, let's solve this problem step by step. First, the problem states that Aleena's streaming service charges $140 per month. But there's a twist: for the first half of the year (6 months), the company charges her the initial $140 per month. Then, for the second half of the year (the other 6 months), they charge her 10% less than the initial amount per month.

First, I need to calculate the cost for each half of the year.

For the first half of the year: 6 months * $140/month = $840.

For the second half: the monthly rate is 10% less than $140. To find that, I take 10% of $140, which is $14, and subtract that from $140 to get $126 per month. Then, for 6 months: 6 * $126 = $756.

Finally, to get the total amount paid by the end of the year, I add the costs from both halves: $840 + $756 = $1,596.

Wait, that's a bit confusing. Let me check if I interpreted the problem correctly. The problem says "charged her the initial amount for the first half of the year and then charged her 10% less money on the other half of the year".

Wait, does "the initial amount" refer to the total amount for the first half, or the per-month amount? The problem says "initial amount" — in the context of streaming services, it's standard that the "initial amount" would be the monthly rate. So if the company charges $140 per month, then the "initial amount" per month is $140.

For the second half of the year, they charge 10% less than this "initial amount" per month. So it's 10% off the monthly rate, not the total amount.

So the calculation I did earlier is correct. First half: 6 * $140 = $840. Second half: 6 * ($140 * 0.9) = 6 * $126 = $756. Total: $840 + $756 = $1,596.

Yes, that's right. I don't think there's any ambiguity here. The problem is structured so that each half of the year has a different monthly rate, with the first half being the standard rate, and the second half being 10% less per month.
$1,596
