Q: Loisa wants to buy a tablet that costs $450 cash. Since she does not have enough money, the store offered her an installment plan for 12 months. She will pay $100 as a down payment and pay $40 for the first 4 months; then $35 for the next four months; then $30 for the last four months. How much will Loisa save if she will buy the tablet in cash instead of on installment?
A: Loisa will pay a total of $40 x 4 = $160 for the first 4 months. She will pay a total of $35 x 4 = $140 for the next four months. And she will pay a total of $30 x 4 = $120 for the last four months. Thus, she will pay a total of $100 + $160 + $140 + $120 = $520 for 12 months including the down payment. Therefore, Loisa can save $520 - $450 = $70 if she buys the tablet in cash. The answer is 70.
Question: Paul went to the sporting goods store to buy a tennis racket. His favorite brand was having a sale that offered customers a deal to buy one racket at full price and get the second racket for half off the full price. If he purchased two rackets that were each originally marked at a full price of $60, how much did he spend on the two rackets, in dollars?
Answer: Half off the full price of $60 is $60 / 2 = $30 off. Thus, for the two rackets, Paul spends $60 + $60 - $30 = $90. The answer is 90.
[Question]Matt has a peanut plantation that is 500 feet by 500 feet. 1 square foot of peanuts can make 50 grams of peanuts. If it takes 20 grams of peanuts to make 5 grams of peanut butter and 1 kg of peanut butter sells for $10 how much does he make from his plantation?
[Answer]His plantation is 500 * 500 = 250,000 square feet. That means he gets 250,000 * 50 = 12,500,000 grams of peanuts. So he makes 12,500,000 * 5 / 20 = 3,125,000 grams of peanut butter. So he has 3,125,000 / 1000 = 3125 kg of peanut butter. That means it sells for 3125 * 10 = $31,250. The answer is 31250.
Q: Martha is knitting winter clothes for her 3 grandchildren, who are all the same size (identical triplets.) Each set of clothes consists of a woolen hat, a scarf, a sweater, a pair of mittens, and a pair of wooly socks. She can knit a hat in 2 hours. A scarf takes her 3 hours. Each mitten takes her about an hour to knit. A sock takes an hour and a half. Each sweater takes her 6 hours. How long will it take her to knit all the outfits?
A: A pair of mittens takes 1 hour per mitten * 2 mittens = 2 hours. A pair of socks takes 1.5 hours per sock * 2 socks = 3 hours. So a complete outfit for each child takes 2 hours per hat + 3 hours per scarf + 2 hours per pair of mittens + 3 hours per pair of socks + 6 hours per sweater = 16 hours per outfit. So to knit winter outfits for all three of her grandchildren, Martha will take 3 outfits * 16 hours per outfit = 48 hours. The answer is 48.
