Q: John's car gets 30 mpg. He drives 20 miles to work each way 5 days a week. He also drives another 40 miles a week for leisure travel. How many gallons of gas does he use a week?
A: He drives 20 * 2 = 40 miles per day for work. So he drives 40 * 5 = 200 miles for work. So he drives a total of 200 + 40 = 240 miles per week. That means he uses 240 / 30 = 8 gallons of gas a week. The answer is 8.
Question: Darcy washes and drys 20 shirts and 8 pairs of shorts. If he folds 12 of the shirts and 5 of the shorts, how many more remaining pieces of clothing does Darcy have to fold?
Answer: Darcy still has to fold 20 - 12 = 8 shirts. Darcy still has to fold 8 - 5 = 3 shorts. Darcy has to fold a total of 8 + 3 = 11 pieces of clothing. The answer is 11.
[Question]The sum of the three angles of a triangle equals 250. The left angle is twice the right angle's value, and the right angle is 60 degrees. Find the value of the top angle?
[Answer]Since the left angle is twice the value of the right angle, the left angle is 60 * 2 = 120 degrees. The total value of the left and right angles is 120 + 60 = 180 degrees. Since the sum of the three angles is equal to 250, the other angle has a value of 250 - 180 = 70 degrees. The answer is 70.
Q: John can produce 1000 tires a day. It cost $250 to produce each tire. He manages to sell them for 1.5 times as much. He could sell 1200 tires a day if his factory was able to produce more. How much money does he lose out a week by not being able to produce all the tires?
A: He sells each tire for 250 * 1.5 = $375. That means he makes a profit of 375 - 250 = $125 per tire. His production is 1200 - 1000 = 200 short. So he loses out on 125 * 200 = $25,000 a day. So he loses out on 25000 * 7 = $175,000 a week. The answer is 175000.
Question: Janet has 24 dresses. Half of them have pockets. Of those, a third have 2 pockets and the rest have 3 pockets. How many total pockets do her dresses have?
Answer: She has 24 / 2 = 12 dresses with pockets. Of those 12 / 3 = 4 have 2 pockets. So 12 - 4 = 8 have three pockets. So the dresses with 2 pockets have 2 * 4 = 8 pockets. The other dresses contribute 8 * 3 = 24 pockets. So she has a total of 8 + 24 = 32 pockets. The answer is 32.
Q: John's pool is 5 feet deeper than 2 times Sarah's pool. If John's pool is 15 feet deep, how deep is Sarah's pool?
A:
Let x be the number of feet in John's pool. 2 * x + 5 = 15. 2x = 10. x = 5. The answer is 5.
