100 bananas

100 the first day? Not quite:

Day 1 = X

Day 2 = X + 6

Day 3 = X + 12

Day 4 = X + 18

Day 5 = X + 24

100 = 5X + 60

100 - 60 = 5X

40 = 5X

8 = X

Day 1 = 8

Day 2 = 14

Day 3 = 20

Day 4 = 26

Day 5 = 32

How many bananas can Corey get to the marketplace?

This question comes from the Math Central website: "The problem is: Corey Camel's harvest, worth its weight in gold, consists of 3000 bananas. The market place where the stash can be cashed in is 1000 miles away. However, Corey must walk to the market, and can only carry up to 1000 bananas at a time. Furthermore, being a camel, Corey eats one banana during each and every mile she walks (so Corey can never walk anywhere without bananas). How many bananas can Corey get to the market? As a reminder we're told to save our notes as we work on the problem. I can't get past an answer of 0. Corey can only carry 1000 bananas and he eats one for every mile so by the time he gets to the market he has 0 bananas to sell and 0 bananas to eat to get him home."The answer given is 533. A long explanation of the math is also given.


Katie's pizza was cut into thirds Dan's was cut into fourths Katie has more pizza than Dan How Much does Katie have?

There are three answers to this question. The first answer is Katie eats one third and Dan eats one quarter. The second is that Katie eats two thirds and Dan eats two fourths. The last is Katie eats the whole pizza and Dan eats three fourths. But as the instructor wants to see fractions in the answer, I would use one of the first two answers :)
