[Question]Preston has a sandwich shop. He charges $5 for each sandwich. He also charges $20 for a delivery fee. Abra Company orders 18 sandwiches from Preston and also tips him 10%. How much total, in dollars, did Preston receive?
[Answer]First, find the price of the sandwiches $5 per sandwich * 18 sandwiches = $90. Now add in the delivery fee $90 + $20 = $110. Now the tip $110 * 0.10 = $11. Add the tip to the price of the sandwiches $110 + $11 = $121 in total. The answer is 121.
Q: There are 4 puppies and 3 dogs at a camp. Each dog eats twice as much food as a puppy, but each puppy eats three times as often as a dog. If a dog eats 4 pounds of food three times a day, what would be the total amount of food the dogs and puppies eat in a day?
A: Eating three times a day, a dog eats 3 * 4 = 12 pounds of food. Since there are 3 dogs at the camp, the total amount of food they eat is 3 * 12 = 36 pounds of food in a day. If each dog eats twice as much food as a puppy, a puppy will eat 4 / 2 = 2 pounds of food in one meal. Each puppy eats three times as often as a dog, and if a dog eats three times in a day, a puppy will eat 3 * 3 = 9 times in a day. Since a puppy eats 2 pounds of food a day, the total amount of food a puppy will eat in a day is 9 * 2 = 18 pounds of food. Four puppies in the camp eat 18 * 4 = 72 pounds of food every day. Together, the dogs and the puppies eat 72 + 36 = 108 pounds of food in a day. The answer is 108.
