Mike gets paid 100 dollars a week. He decides to spend half of that at an arcade. He spends 10 dollars at the arcade on food and uses the rest on arcade tokens. He can play for 1 hour for $8. How many minutes can he play?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
He spent 100 * .5 = $50 at the arcade. He uses 50 - 10 = $40 on tokens. He can play 40 / 8 = 5 hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour so he can play 5 * 60 = 300 minutes.
Thus, the answer is 300.
