[Question]Cary starts working at Game Stop for $10/hour. She gets a 20% raise the first year, but the second year the company's profits decrease and her pay is cut to 75% of what it used to be. How much does Cary make now?
[Answer]First find the amount of Cary's raise by multiplying $10 by 20%: $10 * .2 = $2. Then add Cary's raise to her initial wage to find her wage after one year: $10 + $2 = $12. Then multiply that wage by 75% to find Cary's wage after her pay cut: $12 * .75 = $9. The answer is 9.
Q: Marge had a winning lottery ticket for $12006 and wanted to spend some of it wisely before using on any fun things. She paid half of the lottery amount for the taxes on her winnings, then put a third of the leftover money towards her student loans. She put $1000 in savings and invested a fifth of that amount in the stock market. How many dollars does she have left for fun?
A: Marge used half the $12006 for taxes, so she had 12006 / 2 = $6003 left. She used 1 / 3 of the leftover money on student loans, so she paid 6003 / 3 = $2001. After paying the student loans, she had 6003 - 2001 = $4002 left. She put $1000 in savings, so she had 4002 - 1000 = $3002 left. She invested 1000 / 5 = $200 in the stock market. After investing, she had 3002 - 200 = $2802 left for fun. The answer is 2802.
Question: Barney's grocery store sold out all of its items at the beginning of the pandemic, so they ordered extra items to restock the shelves. However, they ended up ordering far too much and have to keep the leftover items in the storeroom. If they ordered 4458 items, sold another 1561 items that day, and have 575 items in the storeroom, how many items do they have left in the whole store?
Answer: Barney's grocery store started with 0 items + 4458 they ordered = 4458 items total. That day they sold 1561 items, so 4458 total - 1561 sold = 2897 items. If there are 575 items in the storeroom, then there are 575 + 2897 = 3472 items in the whole store. The answer is 3472.
[Question]Care and Rick have a repair shop. Each repair is priced differently: phone repair costs $11, laptop repair costs $15 and computer repair costs $18. If they perform 5 phone repairs, 2 laptop repairs, and 2 computer repairs for this week, how much did they earn for the week?
[Answer]They earned $11 x 5 = $55 for the phone repairs. They earned $15 x 2 = $30 for the laptop repairs. They also earned $18 x 2 = $36 for computer repairs. Therefore, Care and Rick earned $55 + $30 + $36 = $121 for the week. The answer is 121.
[Question]John decides to buy some birds. He got 50 dollars from each of his 4 grandparents. If each bird costs $20, how many wings did all the birds have?
