Here are the answers to the questions provided:

  1. Charles worked regularly 45 hours plus 17 hours overtime: 45 + 17 = 62 hours (none)

  2. It took 1 hour and 5 minutes - 45 minutes = 20 minutes longer than usual: 20 minutes

  3. Howi usually runs 75 miles and ran an extra 16 miles last month: 75 + 16 = 91 miles (91)

  4. A hair stylist can do 16 haircuts in 1 day, so in 13 days he can do: 16 * 13 = 208 haircuts (208)

  5. The boy earned $12.50 and he owes his mother $5.75, so he will have left: $12.50 - $5.75 = $6.75 (none)

  6. The total cost of the boat is $5,424, and with 12 friends paying equally: $5,424 ÷ 12 = $451.33 (none)

  7. Selling price of the motorcycle is $4,375 - $452.25 = $3,922.75 (3,922.75)

  8. In 4 days working 9 hours each day, the baker works 36 hours. He can decorate: (36 hours) / (3 hours/5 cakes) = 60 cakes (60)

  9. The length minus the width is: 3.5 - 2.745 = 0.755 (0.755)

  10. 60% of 1,545 ice cream cones = 0.60 * 1,545 = 927 (927)

  11. The width of the gate in inches is 3-1/4 feet, which is equal to 39 inches. Each board is 3 inches wide, so: 39 ÷ 3 = 13 boards (13)

  12. The percentage of the seats filled is: (56/80) * 100 = 70% (70)

  13. In 4-1/2 hours, which is 270 minutes, the doctor can see: 270 ÷ 15 = 18 patients (18)

  14. The total amount paid by the two co-workers is $3.75 (1/2 and 1/3 of $7.50), which leaves Michi with: $7.50 - $3.75 - $2.50 = $1.25 (1.25)

  15. The shelf is 4-3/4 feet wide or 57 inches, so the number of 3-inch books that fit: 57 ÷ 3 = 19 books (19)

  16. Time spent driving to and from work for 5 days, considering 3 days of lunch driving: (12 * 2 * 5 + 12 * 2 * 3) minutes = 180 (3 hours) (3 hours)

  17. Calculate boxes bought for $234.00: 20 boxes at $4.45, next 25 at $4.00, total spent on those = $234.00 (47)

  18. The fine for 4 books overdue for 6 days = $0.35 + (3 days * $0.40) + (3 days * $0.45) = $13.40
