Q: An aqua park charges $12 admission and $6 for a tour. A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn?
A: A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each. So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $180. A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $60 for the admission. Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $240. The answer is 240.
Question: Mary brought 50 stickers to class. She gave 4 stickers to each of her 5 friends. She gave everyone else in class two stickers each. If she has 8 stickers left over, how many students are in the class, including Mary?
Answer: She gave out 50 - 8 = 42 stickers in total. She gave 4 * 5 = 20 stickers to her friends. She gave out 42 - 20 = 22 stickers to the rest of the class. This means there are 22 / 2 = 11 other students in the class. There are a total of 1 + 5 + 11 = 17 students in the class. The answer is 17.
[Question]In the Oprah Winfrey High School marching band, each trumpet and clarinet player carries 5 pounds of weight, each trombone player carries 10 pounds of weight, each tuba player carries 20 pounds of weight, and each drum player carries 15 pounds of weight. If there are 6 trumpets, 9 clarinets, 8 trombones, 3 tubas, and 2 drummers, how much weight does the total marching band carry?
[Answer]First find the total number of clarinet and trumpet players: 6 players + 9 players = 15 players. Then find the total weight of the trumpets and clarinets: 15 players * 5 pounds / player = 75 pounds. Then find the total weight of the trombones: 8 players * 10 pounds / player = 80 pounds. Then find the total weight of the tubas: 3 players * 20 pounds / player = 60 pounds. Then find the total weight of the drummers: 2 drummers * 15 pounds / player = 30 pounds. Then add the weight of each type of instrument to find the total weight: 75 pounds + 80 pounds + 60 pounds + 30 pounds = 245 pounds. The answer is 245.
Q: Jenny's property tax rate is 2%. Her house is currently worth $400,000. The city is about to build a new high-speed rail project nearby, which will increase her house's value by 25%. Jenny can only afford to spend $15,000/year on property tax. How many dollars worth of improvements can she make to her house before her property tax bill gets too high?
A: First find how much the rail project will increase the house value by multiplying the initial value by 25%: $400,000 * .25 = $100,000. Then add that amount to the initial value to find the new value: $100,000 + $400,000 = $500,000. Then divide the maximum amount of property tax Jenny can afford to pay by the property tax rate to find the maximum value her house can have: $15,000 / .02 = $750,000. Now subtract the house's value after the rail project from the maximum value to find how much value the improvements can have: $750,000 - $500,000 = $250,000. The answer is 250000.
Question: Daisy's milk cow provides 16 cups of milk per day. 75% of the milk is consumed by Daisy's kids. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining milk to cook with. How much milk is left over?
Answer: The cow provides 16 cups of milk per day and the kids consume 75% so they drink 16 * .75 = 12 cups of milk. The cow provides 16 cups of milk and the kids drink 12 cups leaving 16 - 12 = 4 cups of milk. Daisy uses 50% of the remaining 4 cups of milk to cook with so she uses .50 * 4 = 2 cups of milk. She had 4 cups of milk and used 2 cups to cook with so that leaves 4 - 2 = 2 cups of milk. The answer is 2.
