Let's solve each problem step by step:

Problem 1:


How many different outfits can Sally wear if she has 1 red, 1 blue, 1 white shirt and orange pants and blue pants? Name the outfits on the back.

#### Solution:
Sally has:
- 3 shirts: red, blue, white
- 2 pairs of pants: orange, blue

To find the total number of different outfits, we multiply the number of choices for shirts by the number of choices for pants:
\[
\text{Total outfits} = (\text{Number of shirts}) \times (\text{Number of pants}) = 3 \times 2 = 6
\]

The outfits are:
1. Red shirt + Orange pants
2. Red shirt + Blue pants
3. Blue shirt + Orange pants
4. Blue shirt + Blue pants
5. White shirt + Orange pants
6. White shirt + Blue pants

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]

Problem 2:


You have 3 quarters and your pop cost you 54 cents. How much money do you have left?

#### Solution:
1. Convert 3 quarters to cents:
\[
3 \text{ quarters} = 3 \times 25 \text{ cents} = 75 \text{ cents}
\]

2. Subtract the cost of the pop from the total amount of money:
\[
75 \text{ cents} - 54 \text{ cents} = 21 \text{ cents}
\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{21 \text{ cents}}
\]

Problem 3:


Kelly has 14 blue marbles, 21 green marbles, 31 multi-colored marbles, and 9 smokey marbles. How many marbles does she have?

#### Solution:
Add up all the marbles:
\[
14 \text{ (blue)} + 21 \text{ (green)} + 31 \text{ (multi-colored)} + 9 \text{ (smokey)} = 75
\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{75}
\]

Problem 4:


Marci has 36 candies to share with 3 friends. How many candies will each friend get?

#### Solution:

\[
36 \div 3 = 12
\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{12}
\]

Problem 5:


Tom made 31 paper airplanes but only 11 would fly. How many airplanes wouldn't fly?

#### Solution:
Subtract the number of airplanes that flew from the total number of airplanes:

\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{20}
\]

Problem 6:


Jim’s newspaper route is on one street. The houses are numbered 21 to 54. He gives a newspaper to all of the houses between and including 21 to 54. How many newspapers does he deliver?

#### Solution:
To find the total number of houses, use the formula for the number of integers in a range:
\[
\text{Number of houses} = (\text{Last house number}) - (\text{First house number}) + 1
\]
\[
\text{Number of houses} = 54 - 21 + 1 = 34
\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{34}
\]

Problem 7:


Jim gets paid 5 cents for delivering newspapers. He delivers 9 newspapers. How much money does he make?

#### Solution:

9 \times 5 \text{ cents} = 45 \text{ cents}
\]

#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{45 \text{ cents}}
\]
