Q: Zach is saving his money to buy a brand new bike that costs $100. His weekly allowance is $5. His parent will pay him an extra $10 to mow the lawn. His neighbor will pay him $7 per hour to babysit their son. He has already saved up $65. He'll receive his allowance on Friday and he's planning on babysitting for 2 hours this Saturday after he mows the lawn. How much more money does Zach need to earn before he can buy the bike?
A: If he babysits for 2 hours at $7 per hour, he will earn 2 * 7 = $14. This week he will earn $5 allowance, $10 mowing the lawn and $14 from babysitting for a total of 5 + 10 + 14 = $29. If we add the $29 he will earn to his $65 savings, he will have a total of 29 + 65 = $94. The bike costs $100 and he will have $94 leaving $100 - $94 = $6 more that he will need to earn. The answer is 6.
Question: Amber is baking cakes for her party. She has invited 8 friends and each one will want two slices of cake. Each cake makes 6 slices. If she bakes 4 cakes, how many slices will be left over at the end if she eats three herself?
Answer: Her friends will eat 16 slices of cake because 8 x 2 = 16. There will be 19 slices eaten in total because 16 + 3 = 19. She is making 24 slices of cake because 4 x 6 = 24. There will be 5 pieces left over because 24 - 19 = 5. The answer is 5.
[Question]A library cabinet houses five ancient scrolls. The first scroll is 4080 years old. If each scroll is older than the last by half as many years as the last scroll's age, how old is the fifth scroll?
[Answer]The second scroll is 4080 + 4080 / 2 = 4000 + 2040 = 6120 years old. The third scroll is 6120 + 6120 / 2 = 6120 + 3060 = 9180 years old. The fourth scroll is 9180 + 9180 / 2 = 9180 + 4590 = 13770 years old. The fifth scroll is 13770 + 13770 / 2 = 13770 + 6885 = 20655 years old. The answer is 20655.
Q: Bridgette and Alex are getting married. Bridgette is inviting 84 guests, and Alex is inviting two thirds of that number of guests. They hired a caterer to make a plated meal for each guest at the wedding reception. The caterer always makes ten extra plates just in case something goes wrong. Each plate of steak and asparagus in garlic butter will have 8 asparagus spears on it. How many asparagus spears will the caterer need in all?
A: Alex is inviting 84 * 2 / 3 = 56 guests. Bridgette and Alex's guests will need 84 + 56 = 140 plates. The caterer makes 10 extra plates, so they will need 140 + 10 = 150 plates. To put 8 asparagus spears on each plate, the caterer will need 150 * 8 = 1200 asparagus spears. The answer is 1200.
Question: Jorge has an equal number of baseball cards as Matias, who has 6 fewer cards than Carlos. If Carlos has 20 baseball cards, what is the total number of baseball cards the three have?
