(Math, Fitness) Mitchell’s Vacation Math Adventure - Well-Deserved Break

Mitchell was on vacation, finally relaxing in his room. After being such a big boy over the past two days, he’d earned this special time. Dressed in just his shirt and pampers, he lounged comfortably, ready to enjoy his well-deserved break.

Math Word Problems: Mitchell’s Shopping Adventures

1. Mitchell’s caretaker wants to stock up on pampers for the vacation. If Mitchell uses 6 pampers per day and the family is staying for 10 days, how many total pampers will they need to pack? If a pack contains 36 pampers, how many complete packs should they bring, and how many individual pampers will be left over?

2. Gerber baby food is essential for Mitchell’s trip. Each jar costs $1.75, and Mitchell eats 4 jars per day. Calculate the total cost of Gerber food for the 10-day vacation. If the caretaker buys in bulk and gets a 10% discount on purchases over $50, how much will they save?

3. Big block toys are Mitchell’s favorite. A set of 8 blocks costs $12, and Mitchell wants to bring enough to keep himself entertained during the vacation. If he wants to have 48 blocks total, how many complete sets will he need to buy? Calculate the total cost of the sets and determine how many extra blocks he’ll have beyond his desired 48.

4. Fruit cups are a vacation treat for Mitchell. They come in packs of 6 and cost $5 per pack. If Mitchell wants to have 3 fruit cups per day during the 10-day vacation, how many total packs will his caretaker need to buy? Calculate the total cost of the fruit cups and determine how many extra fruit cups will be left over.

5. Mitchell’s caretaker is budgeting for the trip. A box of pampers costs $25 and contains 72 pampers. Calculate the cost per pamper. If they need 60 pampers for the vacation, how much will they spend on pampers? Compare this to buying individual pampers and determine the most cost-effective option.

6. Mitchell loves his big block toys and wants to maximize his play time. Block toy sets come in different sizes: a set of 8 blocks costs $10, a set of 12 blocks costs $15, and a set of 15 blocks costs $18. If Mitchell wants exactly 40 blocks, what combination of sets will give him the most blocks for the least money?

7. Gerber food planning becomes a math challenge. Mitchell eats 5 jars per day, with each jar costing $1.50. If the caretaker buys a bulk package of 24 jars for $30, how does this compare to buying individual jars for the 10-day vacation? Calculate the total cost and savings.

8. Fruit cups become a mathematical puzzle. Individual fruit cups cost $0.75 each, but packs of 6 are priced at $4. If Mitchell wants 30 fruit cups for the vacation, what is the most economical way to purchase them? Calculate the total cost of both purchasing methods.

9. Pamper economics get complex. A box of 84 pampers costs $30, while individual pampers cost $0.50 each. If Mitchell needs 60 pampers for the vacation, which purchasing method saves the most money? Calculate the total cost and difference between buying a box or individual pampers.

10. Big block toy optimization becomes a strategic challenge. Mitchell wants 50 blocks total. Block sets come in various configurations: 8 blocks for $10, 12 blocks for $15, and 15 blocks for $18. Determine the most cost-effective combination of sets to reach exactly 50 blocks with the least total expense.
