In three bowling games, Alice scores 139, 143, and 144. What score will Alice need in a fourth game in order to have an average score of 145 for all four games?

In a recent student body election, Adam received 40 more than 40% of the votes. Brigitte received 40 less than 50% of the number Adam received. Carl received 20 more than 50% of what Brigitte received, and Diane received the remaining 180 votes. How many votes were cast in the election and who was the winner?

(Hint: let n = total # of votes,

A+B+C+180=n,

let 40 + 0.4n = 'A' -> Adam's votes, etc.)

A set of marbles can be divided in equal shares among 2,3,4,5, or 6 children with no marbles left over. What is the least number of marbles that the set could have? Is there a rule to test for divisibility by 7? What is the rule? Explain in detail. On an algebra test 39 more pupils passed than failed. On a new test, 7 who had passed the first test failed, and one-third of those who failed on the first test passed the second test. As a result, 31 more passed the second test than failed it. What was the record of passing and failing on the first test? Point A is located at (-4,-2). Point B, located is located at (2,y). The distance bewteen the two points is 10. What are the possible values for y?
