Q: The Kwik-e-Tax Center charges $50 for a federal return, $30 for a state return, and $80 for quarterly business taxes. If they sell 60 federal returns, 20 state returns, and 10 quarterly returns in one day, what was their total revenue for the day?
A: First find the total income from the federal returns: $50 / return * 60 returns = $3000. Then find the total income from the state returns: $30 / return * 20 returns = $600. Then find the total income from the quarterly returns: $80 / return * 10 returns = $800. Then add the income from each source to find their total income: $3000 + $600 + $800 = $4400. The answer is 4400.
Question: Tom swims for 2 hours at a speed of 2 miles per hour. He then runs for half the time at 4 times the speed. How many miles did he cover?
Answer: He swam 2 * 2 = 4 miles. He ran for 2 / 2 = 1 hour. His running speed was 2 * 4 = 8 mph. So he ran 8 * 1 = 8 miles. So his total distance was 8 + 4 = 12 miles. The answer is 12.
[Question]Megan is delivering meals on wheels. Out of her 30 clients, 7 need vegan meals, 8 need kosher meals, and three people need meals that are both vegan and kosher. How many meals does Megan deliver that are neither kosher nor vegan?
[Answer]First, add the number of kosher meals to the number of vegan meals: 7 meals + 8 meals = 15 meals. Then subtract the three meals that are both kosher and vegan since they got counted twice: 15 meals - 3 meals = 12 meals. Finally, subtract that number from the total number of meals to find the number of meals that are neither kosher nor vegan: 30 meals - 12 meals = 18 meals. The answer is 18.
Q: It takes 7 years for an apple tree to bear fruit. If Lydia planted a tree when she was 4 years old and is now 9 years old, how old would she be when she gets to eat an apple from her tree for the first time?
A: The tree has been planted for 9 - 4 = 5 years. It will take another 7 - 5 = 2 years for it to bear fruit. Lydia will be 9 + 2 = 11 years old. The answer is 11.
Question: If Billy and Jenny each order a $20 steak along with a $5 drink, how much will Billy have to pay in tips if he wants to cover 80% of a 20% tip for the two of them?
Answer: First, we figure out the price per meal by adding the steak and the drink together, finding a cost of 20 + 5 = 25 per meal. Then we multiply this by 2, as there are two people eating, meaning a total cost of 25 * 2 = 50 for both meals. Then we find the total tip amount for a 20% tip, by multiplying 50 * .2 = 10. Then we find out what 80% of this tip amount is by multiplying the desired tip of 10 by .8, finding 10 * .8 = 8 dollars that Billy should contribute. The answer is 8.
Q: Herman likes to feed the birds in December, January and February. He feeds them 1/2 cup in the morning and 1/2 cup in the afternoon. How many cups of food will he need for all three months?
A:
December has 31 days, January has 31 days and February has 28 days for a total of 31 + 31 + 28 = 90 days. He feeds them 1 / 2 cup in the morning and 1 / 2 cup in the afternoon for a total of 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 1 cup per day. If he feeds them 1 cup per day for 90 days then he will need 1 * 90 = 90 cups of birdseed. The answer is 90.
