The discount saved when buying from Guitar Center would be $1000 * 15% = $150. The total cost when buying from Guitar Center would be $1000 - $150 discount + $100 shipping = $950. The discount when buying from Sweetwater would be $1000 * 10% = $100. The total cost when buying from Sweetwater would be $1000 - $100 discount + $0 shipping = $900. Thus, Silvia would save $950 - $900 = $50 when buying from Sweetwater.
The answer: 50
Reverse engineering the question: Silvia wants to buy a new guitar online. The price of the guitar has a suggested retail price of $1000. Guitar Center has a special deal of 15% off but has a shipping fee of $100. Sweetwater has a 10% off deal with free shipping. How much will she save by buying from the cheaper store compared to the other store?
Reasoning and answer: First find the total stitches in all the flowers by multiplying the number of stitches per flower by the number of flowers: 50 flowers * 60 stitches / flower = 3000 stitches. Then do the same for the total number of stitches in the unicorns: 3 unicorns * 180 stitches / unicorn = 540 stitches. Then add the number of stitches for all the flowers, unicorns, and Godzilla to find the total number of stitches: 800 stitches + 540 stitches + 3000 stitches = 4340 stitches. Finally, divide the total number of stitches by the number of stitches Carolyn can make per hour to find how many hours she spends embroidering: 4340 stitches / 4 stitches / minute = 1085 minutes.
The answer: 1085
What was the question?
Question: Carolyn wants to embroider her new jeans. She can sew 4 stitches/minute. A flower takes 60 stitches to embroider, a unicorn takes 180 stitches, and Godzilla takes 800 stitches. If Carolyn wants to embroider Godzilla crushing 3 unicorns and 50 flowers, how many minutes does she need to spend embroidering?
Marnie has already eaten 5 of the chips + 5 more = 10 chips Marnie ate. The bag has 100 chips in it and Marnie has only eaten 10, 100 - 10 = 90 chips left. If Marnie eats 10 chips a day starting from the second day she has them, it will take her 90 chips in the bag / 10 chips Marine eats a day = 9 days to eat the whole bag. However, Marnie also ate chips on the first day she bought them, so 9 + 1 = 10 days to eat the whole bag.
The answer: 10
Reverse engineering the question: Marnie opens a bag of chips and eats 5 of them to see if she likes them. She does, so she eats 5 more. The bag has 100 chips in it and starting on the second day she has them, Marnie eats 10 each day. How many days does it take for Marnie to eat the whole bag of chips?
Reasoning and answer: The second tank is 48 / 2 = 24 gallons. Following her rule, Gail keeps 24 / 2 = 12 two - inch fish in the second tank. She keeps 48 / 3 = 16 fish in the first tank. If one fish in the first tank ate another, she would have 16 - 1 = 15 fish in the first tank. Thus, Gail would have 15 - 12 = 3 more fish in the first tank.
The answer: 3
What was the question?
Question: Gail has two fish tanks. The first tank is twice the size of the second tank. There are 48 gallons of water in the first tank. She follows the rule of one gallon of water per inch of fish. If she keeps two-inch fish in the second tank and three-inch fish in the first tank, how many more fish would Gail have in the first tank than the second tank if one of the first tank fish eats another?
Since a dozen has 12 eggs, the total number of eggs that Addilynn bought is 6 dozen * 12 eggs / dozen = 72 eggs. If she used half of the eggs, the number of eggs left is 72 eggs / 2 = 36 eggs. While moving the eggs to clean the shelves, she broke 15 eggs, leaving 36 eggs - 15 eggs = 21 eggs.
The answer: 21
Reverse engineering the question: Addilynn went to the grocery store and bought six dozen eggs for use in her house. After two weeks, she used half of the eggs, then accidentally broke 15 of the remaining eggs while moving them to clean the shelves. How many eggs are left on the shelf?
There are 2 / 3 green crayons * 6 blue crayons = 4 green crayons. The pink crayons left in the box are 24 crayons total - 8 red - 6 blue - 4 green = 6 pink crayons.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question:
A crayon box has 24 crayons total. 8 crayons are red, 6 crayons are blue, there are 2/3 the number of green crayons as blue crayons, and the rest of the crayons are pink. How many crayons are pink?
