[Question]Janet buys 3 pounds of broccoli for $4 a pound, 3 oranges for $0.75 each, a cabbage for $3.75, a pound of bacon for $3, and two pounds of chicken for $3 a pound. What percentage of her grocery budget did she spend on meat, rounded to the nearest percent?
[Answer]First find the total cost of the broccoli: 3 pounds * $4 / pound = $12. Then find the total cost of the oranges: 3 oranges * $0.75 / orange = $2.25. Then find the total cost of the vegetables: $12 + $2.25 + $3.75 = $18. Then find the total cost of the chicken: $3 / pound * 2 pounds = $6. Then add the cost of the bacon to find the total cost of the meat: $6 + $3 = $9. Then add the cost of the meat and vegetables to find the total cost of the groceries: $9 + $18 = $27. Then divide the cost of the meat by the total grocery bill and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: $9 / $27 * 100% = 33.333%, which rounds down to 33%. The answer is 33.
Q: Rebecca bought 2 pies for the holiday weekend. Each pie was sliced into 8 slices. Rebecca ate 1 slice of each pie. Her family and friends ate 50% of the remaining pies over the weekend. On Sunday evening Rebecca and her husband each had another slice of pie. How many slices are remaining?
A: She bought 2 pies that had 8 slices each for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 slices. Rebecca ate 2 of the 16 slices leaving 16 - 2 = 14 slices. Her family and friends at 50% of the pie so they ate 14 * .50 = 7 slices. There were 14 slices and her family and friends ate 7 slices so that leaves 14 - 7 = 7 slices. Sunday night Rebecca and her husband each had a slice from the remaining slices so that leaves 7 - 2 = 5 slices. The answer is 5.

[Question]As a freelancer, Baylor is paid for every finished work of a client he does on a freelance marketplace. Currently, he has $4000 on his dashboard from previous work done. He is currently working for three clients, with the first client paying him half the amount of money he currently has on his dashboard once the job is done. The second client will pay him 2/5 times more money than the first client once Baylor finishes his work. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together once he finishes the job. How much money will Baylor have in his dashboard after all the clients pay him for his work?
[Answer]The first client will pay Baylor 1 / 2 * $4000 = $2000. The second client will pay Baylor 2 / 5 times more money than the first client, a total of 2 / 5 * $2000 = $800. The total amount of money the second client will pay Baylor once the job is done is $2000 + $800 = $2800. The total amount of money the first and the second client will pay Baylor after their work is finished is $2800 + $2000 = $4800. The third client will pay him twice the amount of money the first and second clients pay him together, a total of 2 * $4800 = $9600. Together, the three clients will pay Baylor $9600 + $4800 = $14400 once he finishes their jobs. In his dashboard, Baylor will have $14400 + $4000 = $18400. The answer is 18400.
