Question: Mr. Johnson has a prescription with enough pills for 30 days. After four-fifths of the days, he has 12 pills left. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day if he takes the same dose daily?
Answer: Mr. Johnson has been taking the pills for 30 * 4 / 5 = 24 days. He has 30 - 24 = 6 days left to finish the pills. Thus, Mr. Johnson is supposed to take 12 / 6 = 2 pills a day. The answer is 2.
[Question]Johnny is a dog walker. He can walk 3 dogs at once. He gets paid $15 for a 30-minute walk and $20 for a 60-minute walk. Johnny works for 4 hours per day. If he always walks the maximum number of dogs possible and 6 dogs have 60-minute walks per day, how much money does he make in a week where he works 5 days?
[Answer]Johnny spends 6 / 3 = 2 hours walking the 6 dogs who have 60 - minute walks. He makes $20 * 6 = $120 for these walks. Thus, he has 4 - 2 = 2 hours = 120 minutes left to walk the other dogs. He can walk 3 * (120 / 30) = 12 dogs in this time. Thus, he will make $15 * 12 = $180 on these walks. In total per day, he makes $120 + $180 = $300 per day. Thus, during the week, he makes $300 * 5 = $1500. The answer is 1500.
Q: Susie babysits every day for 3 hours a day at the rate of $10 per hour. She spent 3/10 of the money she earned from last week to buy a make-up set. She then spent 2/5 of her money on her skincare products. How much is left from her earnings last week, in dollars?
A: Susie earned $10 x 3 = $30 per day. Last week, she earned a total of $30 x 7 = $210. She spent $210 x 3 / 10 = $63 on make - up. While she spent $210 x 2 / 5 = $84 on her skincare products. Thus, she spent a total of $63 + $84 = $147 from her earnings. Therefore, Susie is left with $210 - $147 = $63 from her earnings last week. The answer is 63.
Question: Ryan started with 36 tokens at the arcade. Ryan wasted a third of his tokens on Pac-Man, a fourth of his tokens on Candy Crush, and 7 on Ski-ball. Then, his parents bought him seven times as many tokens as he spent on Ski-ball. How many tokens did Ryan end up with?
Answer: Ryan used 36 / 3 = 12 tokens on Pac - Man. Ryan used 36 / 4 = 9 tokens on Candy Crush. Ryan used a total of 12 + 9 + 7 = 28 tokens on all three games. Ryan had 36 - 28 = 8 tokens left. Ryan's parents bought him 2 * 7 = 14 more tokens. Ryan had 8 + 14 = 22 tokens after his parents bought him some. The answer is 22.
[Question]Lisa has 36 candies. On Mondays and Wednesdays, she eats 2 candies for each day and on the other days of the week she eats 1 candy for each day. How many weeks does it take for Lisa to eat all of the candies?
[Answer]On Monday and Tuesday, she eats 2 * 2 = 4 candies. On the other days of the week, she eats 5 * 1 = 5 candies. In a week she eats 5 + 4 = 9 candies. So it takes 36 / 9 = 4 weeks for Lisa to eat all candies. The answer is 4.
[Question]A party of 4 order 3 dozen oysters on the half shell for $15.00 a dozen, 2 pounds of steamed shrimp for $14.00 a pound and 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound. If they split the bill equally, how much will they each owe?
[Answer]
They ordered 3 dozen oysters at $15.00 a dozen so that's 3 * 15 = $45.00. They ordered 2 pounds of shrimp for $14.00 a pound so that's 2 * 14 = $28.00. They ordered 2 pounds of fried clams for $13.50 a pound so that's 2 * 13.50 = $27.00. All total their bill comes to 45 + 28 + 27 = $100.00. Their bill was $100.00 and they are splitting it equally amongst 4 people so they each owe 100 / 4 = $25.00. The answer is 25.
