Q: Lyla, a grocery store owner, bought rice weighing 30 kg less than green beans, which weigh 10 kg more than sugar. While carrying the goods to the store, the bags fell down and 1/3 weight of the rice and 1/5 weight of sugar was lost. If the green beans weighed 60 kgs, then how much did the remaining stock weigh?
A: If rice weighed 30 kg less than the green beans, then the total rice weight is 60 kg - 30 kg = 30 kg. If the green beans weighed 10 kg more than sugar, then the total sugar weight is 60 kg - 10 kg = 50 kg. When 1 / 3 weight of rice was lost, the weight loss became 1 / 3 * 30 = 10kg. The weight of rice after the loss is 30 kg - 10 kg = 20 kg. When 1 / 5 weight of sugar was lost, the lost weight was 1 / 5 * 50 kg = 10 kg. The weight of sugar after the loss is 50 kg - 10 kg = 40 kg. The total weight for all the items is 40 kg + 20 kg + 60 kg = 120 kg. The answer is 120.
Question: Martha buys 1 latte for $4.00 every morning, 5 days a week. 3 days a week, she buys an iced coffee for $2.00. Her goal for the entire year is to cut her coffee spending by 25%. How much will she save?
Answer: She buys a $4.00 latte in the morning for 5 days so that's 4 * 5 = $20.00. She buys a $2.00 iced coffee 3 days a week so that's 2 * 3 = $6.00. In one week she spends $20.00 on lattes and $6.00 on iced coffee for a total of 20 + 6 = $26.00. After 1 year, 52 weeks, she spends 52 * 26 = $1,352.00. She wants to cut her coffee spending by 25% so that will save her .25 * 1352 = $338.00. The answer is 338.

Q: Michael wants to dig a hole 400 feet less deep than twice the depth of the hole that his father dug. The father dug a hole at a rate of 4 feet per hour. If the father took 400 hours to dig his hole, how many hours will it take for Michael to dig a hole that is 400 feet less than twice as deep as his father's hole working at the same rate?
A:
Since the father dug a hole with a rate of 4 feet per hour, if the father took 400 hours digging the hole, he dug a hole 4 * 400 = 1600 feet deep. Twice the depth of the hole that Michael's father dug is 2 * 1600 = 3200 feet. Michael wants to dig a hole 400 feet less than twice the depth of the hole that his father dug, meaning he wants to dig a hole 3200 - 400 = 2800 feet deep. To dig a hole that is 400 feet less than twice as deep as his father's hole working at a rate of 4 feet per hour, Michael will have to work for 2800 / 4 = 700 hours. The answer is 700.
