Question: Fred wants to order a variety pack of sliced meats for the upcoming game. He can order a 4 pack of fancy, sliced meat for $40.00 and add rush delivery for an additional 30%. With rush shipping added, how much will each type of sliced meat cost?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The variety pack costs $40.00 and rush shipping is an additional 30% so that's 40 * .30 = $12.00. The variety pack costs $40.00 and rush shipping is $12.00 so they will cost 40 + 12 = $52.00. The order will cost $52.00 and he will get 4 types of fancy, sliced meats so each type costs 52 / 4 = $13.00.
So the answer is 13.

Question: A town council began the decade by planting cherry trees around the neighborhood to make the neighborhood look more welcoming. By the end of the decade, they have planted twice as many cherry trees as they originally planned and have now realized that falling cherry blossom leaves are causing a problem. Each tree drops 100 leaves each during the fall. If the town council originally intended to plant 7 cherry trees, how many leaves now fall from the trees?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The council planted twice their goal so there is a total of 7 planned cherry trees * 2 = 14 cherry trees. So there must be 14 cherry trees * 100 leaves falling from each tree = 1400 leaves.
So the answer is 1400.

Question: A play was held in an auditorium and its ticket costs $10. An auditorium has 20 rows and each row has 10 seats. If only 3/4 of the seats were sold, how much was earned from the play?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
There are 20 x 10 = 200 seats in the auditorium. Only 200 x 3 / 4 = 150 seats were sold. Hence, the earnings from the play is $10 x 150 = $1500.
So the answer is 1500.
