1. Sally has 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. The total number of different outfits is 3 × 2 = 6.
2. Three quarters equal 75 cents. Subtracting the cost of the pop (54 cents) leaves 75 - 54 = 21 cents.
3. Adding all the marbles: 14 blue + 21 green + 31 multi-colored + 9 smokey = 75 marbles.
4. Marci shares 36 candies with 3 friends, so each friend gets 36 ÷ 3 = 12 candies.
5. Tom made 31 airplanes, and 11 flew. The number that wouldn't fly is 31 - 11 = 20.
6. The houses from 21 to 54 inclusive are 54 - 21 + 1 = 34 houses.
7. Jim earns 5 cents per newspaper and delivers 9, so he makes 5 × 9 = 45 cents.
