[Question]In April, Tank gathered 10 more Easter eggs than Emma in their first round of egg hunt. However, Emma gathered twice as many eggs as Tank in their second round of egg hunt, while Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 20 less than the number she had gathered in the first round. If the total number of eggs in the pile they were collecting with 6 other people was 400 eggs, and Emma gathered 60 eggs in the second egg hunt round, find the number of eggs that the 6 other egg hunters collected?
[Answer]Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 60 / 2 = 30 since Emma gathered twice as many eggs as Tank in their second round of egg hunt. The total number of eggs that Emma and Tank gathered in the second round was 60 + 30 = 90. Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 20 less than the number she had gathered in the first round, meaning she had gathered 30 + 20 = 50 eggs in the first round of egg hunt. Tank gathered 10 more Easter eggs than Emma in their first round of egg hunt, meaning Emma collected 50 - 10 = 40 eggs. The total number of eggs Emma and Tank collected in the first round was 40 + 50 = 90. In the two rounds, Emma and Tank gathered 90 + 90 = 180 eggs. If the total number of eggs in the pile they were collecting with 6 other people was 400 eggs, the six other people gathered 400 - 180 = 220 eggs. The answer is 220.
Q: Jerry needs to shingle 3 roofs. Each roof is made of two slanted rectangular sides measuring 20 feet by 40 feet. If he needs 8 shingles to cover one square foot of roof, how many shingles does he need total?
A: First find the area of one side of a roof: 20 feet * 40 feet = 800 square feet. Then multiply that number by 2 to find the total area of both sides of the roof: 800 square feet / side * 2 sides = 1600 square feet. Then multiply that number by the number of roofs to find the total area of all the roofs: 1600 square feet / roof * 3 roofs = 4800 square feet. Then multiply the total area of the roofs by the number of shingles needed per square foot to find the total number of shingles needed: 4800 square feet * 8 singles / square foot = 38400 shingles. The answer is 38400.
Question: At the polar bear club, Jerry and his three friends, Elaine, George, and Kramer, took turns jumping into a swimming pool filled with freezing-cold water. Jerry was in the pool for 3 minutes before becoming too cold to remain in the cold water. Elaine stayed in the pool for twice as long as Jerry. George could only stay in the pool for one-third as long as Elaine. And Kramer, who accidentally locked himself in the bathroom, could not find the pool. What is the combined total of minutes that Jerry and his friends were in the cold water?
Answer: Elaine was in the pool for 2 * 3 = 6 minutes. George was in the pool for 6 / 3 = 2 minutes. Kramer never found the pool and thus swam for 0 minutes. In total, Jerry and his friend were in the cold water for 3 + 6 + 2 + 0 = 11 minutes. The answer is 11.
[Question]There are 290 liters of oil in 24 cans. If 10 of the cans are holding 8 liters each, how much oil is each of the remaining cans holding?
[Answer]10 cans are holding 8 liters each for a total of 10 * 8 = 80 liters. There are 290 - 80 = 210 litres left. There are 24 - 10 = 14 cans left. Each of the remaining cans is holding 210 / 14 = 15 liters each. The answer is 15.
Q: Lucille has to divide the revenue from her business in the ratio of 4:11 for employee salaries and stock purchases, respectively. If she has $3000 as her revenue, calculate the total amount of money she spends on employee salary?
A: The total ratio representing the revenue Lucille has is 4 + 11 = 15. The value from the ratio representing employee salary is 4 / 15, and this is 4 / 15 * $3000 = $800 that Lucille has to pay her employees. The answer is 800.
