A bulk warehouse is offering 48 cans of sparkling water for $12.00 a case. The local grocery store is offering the same sparkling water for $6.00 and it only has 12 cans. How much more expensive, per can, in cents, is this deal at the grocery store? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The bulk warehouse has 48 cans for $12.00 so that's 12 / 48 = $0.25 a can. The local grocery store has 12 cans for $6.00 so that's 6 / 12 = $0.50 a can. The grocery store offer is $0.50 a can and the warehouse is $0.25 a can so the grocery store is .50 - .25 = $0.25 more expensive per can.. The answer is: 25.

The company's data entry team had 5 employees working on a large project. Rudy types 64 words per minute, Joyce types 76 words per minute, Gladys types 91 words per minute, Lisa types 80 words per minute and Mike types 89 words per minute. What is the team's average typed words per minute? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Rudy types 64, Joyce types 76, Gladys types 91, Lisa types 80 and Mike types 89 so 64 + 76 + 91 + 80 + 89 = 400. There are 5 team members, so they type at an average speed of 400 / 5 = 80 words per minute.. The answer is: 80.

Bret and a team of 3 co-workers were working late so he ordered dinner for everyone. They decided on Chinese. Each main meal costs $12.0. They also ordered 2 appetizers that were $6.00 each. He includes a 20% tip and an extra $5.00 to make it a rush order. How much does Bret spend on dinner? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. There are 4 co - workers and each of their meals is $12.00 so 4 * 12 = $48.00. They order 2 appetizers at $6.00 each so 2 * 6 = $12.00. The meals costs $48.00 and the appetizers costs $12.00 for a total of 48 + 12 = $60.00. A 20% tip on the $60.00 order is .20 * 60 = $12.00. So the meal is $60.00, the tip is $12.00 and he adds a $5.00 rush for a total of 60 + 12 + 5 = $77.00.. The answer is: 77.
