Here are the step-by-step solutions for the problems on the worksheet.

1. Tasha's Reading Time
* Step 1: Find out how long Tasha read on Thursday. She read 17 minutes *more* than Wednesday (25 minutes).
$25 + 17 = 42$ minutes.
* Step 2: Add Wednesday's time and Thursday's time together to get the total.
$25 + 42 = 67$ minutes.

2. Erik's Bird Seed
* Step 1: Find the total amount of bird seed Erik started with.
$10 \text{ pounds} + 8 \text{ pounds} = 18 \text{ pounds}$.
* Step 2: Calculate how much seed he used. He filled 7 feeders with 2 pounds each.
$7 \times 2 = 14 \text{ pounds used}$.
* Step 3: Subtract the used amount from the total to find what is left.
$18 - 14 = 4$ pounds.

3. Mrs. Miller's Tables
* Step 1: Find the total number of students in the math club.
$15 \text{ boys} + 19 \text{ girls} = 34 \text{ students}$.
* Step 2: Divide the total students by the number of seats per table (4) to see how many tables are needed.
$34 \div 4 = 8$ with a remainder of $2$.
* Step 3: Since you can't leave 2 students standing, you need one extra table for them.
$8 + 1 = 9$ tables.

4. Frankie's Skateboard
* Step 1: Find out how much more money Frankie needs.
$\$52 \text{ (goal)} - \$30 \text{ (saved)} = \$22 \text{ needed}$.
* Step 2: Divide the amount needed by how much he earns per babysitting job ($5).
$22 \div 5 = 4.4$.
* Step 3: He cannot babysit 0.4 times. He needs to do it 4 times (which gives him $20, not enough) or 5 times (which gives him $25, which is enough). So, he needs 5 more times.

5. Lopez Family Movie Tickets
* Step 1: Calculate the cost for the adult tickets.
$2 \text{ tickets} \times \$6 = \$12$.
* Step 2: Calculate the cost for the child tickets.
$3 \text{ tickets} \times \$4 = \$12$.
* Step 3: Add the two costs together.
$\$12 + \$12 = \$24$.

6. Grace's Money
* Step 1: Calculate how much Grace earned walking the dog.
$5 \text{ times} \times \$5 = \$25$.
* Step 2: Calculate how much she spent.
$\$7 \text{ (book)} + \$9 \text{ (building set)} = \$16$.
* Step 3: Subtract what she spent from what she earned.
$\$25 - \$16 = \$9$.

7. Mika's Basketball Score
* Step 1: Points from 2-point baskets: $3 \times 2 = 6$ points.
* Step 2: Points from 3-point baskets: $2 \times 3 = 6$ points.
* Step 3: Points from free throws: $2 \times 1 = 2$ points.
* Step 4: Add all the points together.
$6 + 6 + 2 = 14$ points.

8. Will's Apples
* Step 1: Calculate apples used for applesauce.
$2 \text{ batches} \times 4 \text{ pounds} = 8 \text{ pounds}$.
* Step 2: Add up all the apples used.
$8 \text{ (sauce)} + 6 \text{ (butter)} + 3 \text{ (juice)} = 17 \text{ pounds used}$.
* Step 3: Subtract the used apples from the starting amount.
$20 - 17 = 3$ pounds.

9. Cynthia's School Lunch
* Step 1: Calculate the cost if she pays daily for 180 days.
$180 \text{ days} \times \$3 = \$540$.
* Step 2: Compare this to the lump sum price of $495.
* Step 3: Subtract the lump sum price from the daily total to find the savings.
$\$540 - \$495 = \$45$.

Final Answer:
1. 67 minutes
2. 4 pounds
3. 9 tables
