Can someone help with my math questions?!?

Please show work.(:

thank you very much(:



1.] The auditorium at Central High School holds 40% of the students that attend the school. If the auditorium is 3/4 full and there are 372 students in the auditorium, how many students attend Central High School?



2.] Eleanor can buy a dozen pencils and a package of erasers for $3.30. She can buy a package of erasers and a notebook for $2.70 or a dozen pencils and a notebook for $2.40. How much does a notebook cost?



3.] On a holiday tree, four strands of colored bulbs blink at different speeds. Strand A blinks every twelve seconds, strand B blinks every fifteen seconds, strand C blinks every twenty seconds, and strand D blinks every twenty-five seconds. If all four strands blink together at 1:30, the next time they will all blink together again is at what time?



4.] A local fruit and vegetable stand sells everything for $1.50 a pound. Jane selects corn, apples, and tomatoes for a total cost of $15. If she does not select corn, the total would be $13.50 for the apples and the tomatoes. If she selected the corn and tomatoes but only half as many apples, the total would be $11.25. How many pounds of tomatoes did Jane buy?



5.] Isabella bought eight CDs. The four less expensive CDs were all the same price. The other four were all the same price, each costing one dollar more than each of the less expensive CDs. She gave the clerk $150 and received $10.80 change. What is the price of one of the less expensive CDs??



6.] Mrs. Long has twelve shelves with an equal number of figurines on each shelf. When she took all of the figurines off three of the shelves, she was able to put exactly five more figurines on each of the remaining shelves. How many figurines does Mrs. Long have in her figurine collection?
