Mrs. McCarthy has misplaced her bank statement for March.
Since there was little activity  in her  account that  month,
she is sure that she  can  figure out her  March 1st  balance
before  she  receives  the duplicate statement  that she  has
requested from bank.
    She knows  that  she  withdrew  one-third  of  her  funds
early in March,  and  later  deposited a  total  of  $150  on
three separate days.
    She also remembers that her April 1st balance  was  $672.
    What was her March 1st balance?

    If Tom has three times as many apples as Susan and Susan
has  one-forth as many as Joe, who has four . How  many does
Mary have, if she has more than Tom?

    The Wade Academies had their annual car wash. Each of the
4 academies had their own team of car washers. Team #1 washed
one-half of all the cars that came. Team #2 washed two-thirds
of the cars  that were left.  Team #3 washed one-half  of the
cars that team #2 finished. Finally, Team #4 washed  the last
10 cars.
    How many cars did the four teams wash ?
