[Question]One hundred people attended a party. Fifty percent of the attendees are women, thirty-five percent of them are men, and the rest are children. How many children attended the party?
[Answer]Out of 100 attendees, 100 x 50 / 100 = 50 are women. While 100 x 35 / 100 = 35 are men. So there were a total of 50 + 35 = 85 men and women who attended the party. Thus, 100 - 85 = 15 children attended the party. The answer is 15.
Q: In a math contest, Riley and Ofelia are on one team. The team's final score is obtained by adding the scores of the students of the same team. Out of the 35 questions, Riley got 3 mistakes while Ofelia got 5 more than half the score of Riley. How many incorrect answers did their team get?
A: Riley's score is 35 - 3 = 32. Half of Riley's score is 32 / 2 = 16. So Ofelia's score is 16 + 5 = 21. Hence, Ofelia got 35 - 21 = 14 incorrect answers. Therefore, their team got 3 + 14 = 17 incorrect answers. The answer is 17.
Question: Janet is getting paid to moderate social media posts. She gets paid 25 cents per post she checks. If it takes her 10 seconds to check a post, how much does she earn per hour?
Answer: First find the number of seconds in an hour: 1 hour * 60 minutes / hour * 60 seconds / minute = 3600 seconds / hour. Then divide the total number of seconds per hour by the number of seconds it takes Janet to read one post: 3600 seconds / hour / 10 seconds / post = 360 posts / hour. Then multiply the number of posts she checks per hour by her pay per post to find her hourly pay: $0.25 / post * 360 posts / hour = $90 / hour. The answer is 90.
