[Question]Tom is playing a game and gets 10 points for killing an enemy. If he kills at least 100 enemies he gets a 50% bonus to his score. What was his total score if he killed 150 enemies?
[Answer]He gets 150 * 10 = 1500 points. The bonus is worth 1500 * .5 = 750 points. So his total score is 1500 + 750 = 2250 points. The answer is 2250.
Q: Jesse received $50 as a gift to buy what she wants. She goes to the mall and falls in love with a novel that costs her $7. Then she went to lunch because she was very hungry and spent twice as much as the novel cost her. How much money did Jesse have left after going to the mall?
A: Jesse bought a novel for $7. She then bought lunch for twice the value of the novel, so lunch cost her $7 x 2 = $14. To find out how much money she has left from her gift she must know the total amount she spent $7 + $14 = $21. Her gift was $50, so she was left with $50 - $21 = $29. The answer is 29.
Question: During the Mardi Gras parade, Latch caught four less than three times as many necklaces as did Rhonda. If Rhonda caught half as many necklaces as did Boudreaux, and Boudreaux caught twelve necklaces, how many necklaces did Latch catch?
Answer: Rhonda caught half as many necklaces as did Boudreaux, or 12 / 2 = 6 necklaces. Three times as many necklaces as Rhonda caught is 6 * 3 = 18 necklaces. Thus, Latch caught four less than three times as many necklaces as did Rhonda, for a total of 18 - 4 = 14 necklaces. The answer is 14.
[Question]Marian's pending credit card balance is $126.00. She puts $60.00 worth of groceries on her card and half that amount in gas. She returned some bath towels for $45.00. What's the new balance on her credit card?
[Answer]Her gas is half the price as her $60.00 groceries so that's 60 / 2 = $30.00 in gas. Her card has a balance of $126.00 and she added $60.00 in groceries and $30.00 in gas for a total of 126 + 60 + 30 = $216.00. Her balance is $216.00 and she returns $45.00 worth of merchandise for a new balance of 216 - 45 = $171.00. The answer is 171.
