Question: Marcia needs to add 3 skirts, 2 pairs of pants and 5 blouses to her work wardrobe. A department store is offering a sale on pants; buy 1 pair get 1 pair 1/2 off. If her skirts are $20.00 each, the blouses are $15.00 and both pairs of pants are $30.00 each. How much will she spend on her wardrobe?
Answer: The pants are $30.00 and are buy one get one 1 / 2 off so the second pair will be 30 * .5 = $15.00. The first pair of pants is $30.00 and the second pair is $15.00 so the pants cost 30 + 15 = $45.00. The skirts are $20.00 each and she’s buying 3 so that’s 20 * 3 = $60.00. The blouses are $15.00 each and she’s buying 5 so that’s 15 * 5 = $75.00. All total, her wardrobe will cost $45 for the pants, $60 for the skirts and $75 for the blouses so 45 + 60 + 75 = $180.00. The answer is 180.
[Question]One of Robi's new year's resolutions is to start saving. He started to save $2 in January. This is followed by $4 in February and $8 in March. If he continues this saving pattern, how much will be his total savings after 6 months?
[Answer]Robi will save $8 x 2 = $16 in April. He will save $16 x 2 = $32 in May. He will save $32 x 2 = $64 in June. Hence, his total savings after 6 months will be $2 + $4 + $8 + $16 + $32 + $64 = $126. The answer is 126.
Q: Bill's take-home salary is $40,000. He pays $2,000 in property taxes, $3,000 in sales taxes, and 10% of his gross salary in income taxes. What is Bill's gross salary?
A: First, figure out how much Bill has before he pays property taxes: $40,000 + $2,000 = $42,000. Then, figure out how much Bill has before he pays sales taxes: $42,000 + $3,000 = $45,000. Next, figure out what percent of his salary Bill keeps after income tax: 100% - 10% = 90%. Now we know that .9g = $45,000, where g is Bill's gross salary. Now we can divide both sides of the equation by .9 to find that g = $50,000. The answer is 50000.
Question: Colston knows that his teacher loves drinking coffee and one day wants to see how much she drinks each week. He sees that she has a 20-ounce thermos and when she makes her coffee she pours a 1/2 cup of milk in, and then fills the coffee to the top. She does this twice a day. After the five-day school week, he decides to tell her, and when she hears how much coffee she drinks, she decides to drink 1/4 of what she normally drinks. How many ounces of coffee does she now drink a week?
Answer: 1 / 2 a cup = 4 ounces. Each thermos contains 16 ounces of coffee because 20 - 4 = 16. She drinks 32 ounces a day because 2 x 16 = 32. She drinks 160 ounces a week because 32 x 5 = 160. She starts drinking only 40 ounces because 160 / 4 = 40. The answer is 40.
Q: Alex gets paid $500 a week and 10% of his weekly income is deducted as tax. He also pays his weekly water bill for $55 and gives away another 10% of his weekly income as a tithe. How much money does Alex have left?
A:

assistant: His income tax is 10% of 500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. His tithe costs 10% of $500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. The total expenses are 50 + 55 + 50 = $155. He is then left with $500 - $ 155 = $345. The answer is 345.
