Answer: Dan takes 58 licks, Michael takes 63, Sam takes 70, David takes 70 and Lance takes 39 for a total of 58 + 63 + 70 + 70 + 39 = 300 licks. There are 5 people and the total amount of licks is 300 so the average is 300 / 5 = 60 licks to get to the center of a lollipop. The answer is 60.
[Question]Julio makes a mocktail every evening. He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice and tops with 1 cup of sparkling water. He can usually squeeze 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime. After 30 days, if limes are 3 for $1.00, how much will he have spent on limes?
[Answer]He uses 1 tablespoon of lime juice per drink so over 30 days that's 1 * 30 = 30 tablespoons of lime juice. He can get 2 tablespoons of lime juice per lime and he will use 30 tablespoons of lime juice so he will need 30 / 2 = 15 limes. The limes are 3 for $1.00 and he needs 15 limes so that's 15 / 3 = $5.00. The answer is 5.
Q: Of 96 oranges, half were ripe. If 1/4 of the ripe oranges were eaten and 1/8 of the unripe oranges were eaten, how many were left eaten in total?
A: There were 96 / 2 = 48 ripe oranges. 48 / 4 = 12 ripe oranges were eaten. 48 / 8 = 6 unripe oranges were eaten. There were 12 + 6 = 18 oranges eaten in total. There were 96 - 18 = 78 oranges left uneaten. The answer is 78.
Question: It is recommended that men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugar per day. Mark took a soft drink in the afternoon that contained 2500 calories, 5% of which was from added sugar. Then he bought some bars of candy which had 25 calories of added sugar each. If he eventually exceeded the recommended intake of added sugar by 100%, how many bars of candy did he take?
Answer:
He consumed 2500 calories, 5% of which is added sugar to give 2500 * (5 / 100) = 125 calories of added sugar. He exceeded the recommended intake of 150 calories by 100% for a total consumption of 150 + (150(100 / 100)) = $300. This means he took in 300 - 125 = 175 calories from candy alone. Each candy had 25 calories so 175 calories which means he consumed 175 / 25 = 7 bars?. The answer is 7.
