Q: A local music festival is held every year for three days. The three day attendance this year was 2700 people. The second day was rainy so only half the number of people that showed up the first day showed up the second day. The third day was the finale, so attendance was triple the original day. How many people attended the second day of the festival?
A: Let x represent the attendance the first day. Second day: x / 2. Third day: 3x. Total:x + (x / 2) + 3x = 2700. (9 / 2)x = 2700. 9x = 5400. x = 600. Second day:600 / 2 = 300 people. The answer is 300.
Question: At camp Wonka, there are 96 campers. Two-thirds of the campers are boys, and the remaining one-third are girls. 50% of the boys want to toast marshmallows and 75% of the girls want to toast marshmallows. If each camper gets one marshmallow to toast, how many marshmallows do they need?
Answer: The girls make up one - third of the campers, so there are 96 / 3 = 32 girls. The boys make up two - thirds of the campers, so there are 32 + 32 = 64 boys. There are 32 x 75% = 24 girls who want to toast marshmallows. There are 64 x 50% = 32 boys who want to toast marshmallows. They need 24 + 32 = 56 marshmallows. The answer is 56.
[Question]Rachel makes $12.00 as a waitress in a coffee shop. In one hour, she serves 20 different people and they all leave her a $1.25 tip. How much money did she make in that hour?
[Answer]She served 20 people and they all tipped her $1.25 so she made 20 * 1.25 = $25.00 in tips. She makes $12.00 an hour and she made $25.00 in tips so she made 12 + 25 = $37.00 in one hour. The answer is 37.
Q: Jamestown has 20 theme parks. If Venice has 25 more theme parks than Jamestown, and Marina Del Ray has 50 more theme parks than Jamestown, calculate the number of theme parks present in the three towns.
A: Since Venice has 25 more theme parks than Jamestown, there are 20 + 25 = 45 theme parks in Venice. Together, Venice and Jamestown have 45 + 20 = 65 theme parks. With 50 more theme parks than Jamestown, Marina Del Ray has 50 + 20 = 70 theme parks. The total number of theme parks in the three towns is 70 + 65 = 135. The answer is 135.
Question: Ms. Cole teaches math in three levels of classes in her school. There are four times as many students in Ms. Cole's fourth-level math class as in her sixth-level math class. The number of students in her seventh-level math class is twice that in the fourth-level math class. If Ms. Cole's sixth-level class has 40 students, how many math students does Ms. Cole teach?
Answer: Since Ms. Cole's sixth - level math class has 40 students and four times as many students in her fourth - level class, there are 4 * 40 = 160 in her fourth - level math class. For the two levels, Ms. Cole teaches math to 160 + 40 = 200 students. If the number of students in her seventh - level math class is twice that in the fourth - level math class, then she teaches 2 * 160 = 320 students in the seventh - level math class. Ms. Cole teaches 320 + 200 = 520 math students in the school. The answer is 520.
Q: It takes John 13 seconds to run 100 meters. He only goes 4 meters in the first second. He then maintains the same speed for the rest of the race. James is 2 m/s faster at the top speed and he can run the first 10 meters in 2 seconds. How long does it take James to run 100 meters?
A:
John runs 100 - 4 = 96 meters once he reaches his max speed. He runs it in 13 - 1 = 12 seconds. So he runs at a speed of 96 / 12 = 8 m / s. So that means James's top speed is 8 + 2 = 10 m / s. He has to run 100 - 10 = 90 meters at his top speed. So he runs that at 90 / 10 = 9 seconds. So he takes 9 + 2 = 11 seconds to run 100 meters. The answer is 11.
