Word Problem - Children and the Apples, by Christopher Carter

Here's a word problem to get your brain cells going:

Once upon a time, there was a family of children. The oldest of these children was in charge of making sure that each of the other children did what they were supposed to do. There were 10 different children. Each of them had to pick a certain amount of apples every day.

Charlie had to pick 50

Jane had to pick 40

Carly had to pick 35

John had to pick 30

Ashley had to pick 25

Christopher had to pick 20

Aaron had to pick 15

Alyssa had to pick 10

James had to pick 5

Between all the children, they had to have a grand total of 630 apples.
