Question: Hannah collects mugs. She already has 40 different mugs in 4 different colors. She has three times more blue mugs than red mugs and 12 yellow mugs. Considering that she has only half as many red mugs as yellow mugs, how many mugs of another color than mentioned does she have?
Answer: Hannah has half as many red mugs as yellow mugs, which means she has 12 * 0.5 = 6 red mugs. Hannas has three times more blue mugs than red ones, which means 3 * 6 = 18 blue mugs. So there are 40 - 18 - 6 - 12 = 4 mugs in a different color than mentioned. The answer is 4.
[Question]A herring has 40 oz of fat, an eel 20 oz, and a pike 10 more oz of fat than an eel. If Ellianna cooked and served 40 fish of each type, calculate how many ounces of fat she served.
[Answer]Ellianna cooking 40 herrings with 40 oz of fat each gives her 40 * 40 = 1600 oz of fat. If Ellianna also cooked 40 eels with 20 oz of fat each, she got 40 * 20 = 800 0z of fat. All the herrings and eels together have a total fat content of 1600 + 800 = 2400 oz of fat. A pike, with 10 more oz of fat than an eel, has 10 + 20 = 30 oz of fat. Cooking 40 pikes gives 40 * 30 = 1200 oz of fat. Since Ellianna cooked all the fish, she had 1200 + 2400 = 3600 oz of fat in her serving. The answer is 3600.
Q: Harold's fancy wrapping paper can wrap 5 shirt boxes or 3 XL boxes. For the upcoming holiday, he has 20 shirt boxes to wrap and 12 XL boxes to wrap. If each roll of wrapping paper costs $4.00 per roll, how much will he spend to wrap all of the boxes?
A: 1 roll can wrap 5 shirt boxes and he has 20 shirts boxes to wrap so he needs 20 / 5 = 4 rolls of wrap. 1 roll can wrap 3 XL boxes and he has 12 XL boxes to wrap so he needs 12 / 3 = 4 rolls or wrap. All total he needs 4 + 4 = 8 rolls of wrap. Each roll costs $4.00 and he needs 8 rolls so it will cost him 4 * 8 = $32.00 in wrapping paper. The answer is 32.
