[Question]Alex gets paid $500 a week and 10% of his weekly income is deducted as tax. He also pays his weekly water bill for $55 and gives away another 10% of his weekly income as a tithe. How much money does Alex have left?
[Answer]His income tax is 10% of 500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. His tithe costs 10% of $500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. The total expenses are 50 + 55 + 50 = $155. He is then left with $500 - $ 155 = $345. The answer is 345.
Q: Janice opened an art book that she had found in the library and found 5 drawings on the first page. After opening the first ten pages, she realized that the number of drawings on each page increased by five after every page. How many drawings were in the first five pages?
A: If the first page had 5 drawings, and the number of drawings on each page increased by five, the second page had 5 + 5 = 10. The total number of drawings in the first 2 pages is 5 + 10 = 15. On the third page, the number of drawings increased to 10 + 5 = 15. The first three pages have a total of 15 + 15 = 30 drawings. The fourth page had 15 + 5 = 20 drawings. There are 30 + 20 = 50 drawings on the first four pages. The fifth page also had an extra 5 more drawings than the fourth page, totaling 20 + 5 = 25. For the first five pages, Janice saw 25 + 50 = 75 pages. The answer is 75.
Question: Madeline spends 18 hours a week in class. She spends 4 hours per day working on homework. She spends 8 hours per day sleeping. She works part-time 20 hours per week. How many hours left over does Madeline have?
Answer: Madeline spends 4 * 7 = 28 hours on homework. She spends 8 * 7 - 56 hours sleeping. Therefore, she is busy 28 + 18 + 56 + 20 = 122 hours per week. There are 7 * 24 = 168 hours per week. Thus, Madeline has 168 - 122 = 46 hours left over. The answer is 46.
