Reasoning and answer: Kwame = 2.5 hours * 60 minutes = 150 minutes. Connor = 1.5 hours * 60 minutes = 90 minutes. Kwame + Connor = 150 + 90 = 240 minutes. 240 - 97 = 143 minutes. Kwame and Conner studied 143 minutes more than Lexia.
The answer: 143

A quarter of the balls are red and therefore there are 360 x (1 / 4) = 90 red balls. When you remove the red balls from the ball pit there are 360 - 90 = 270 remaining balls. A fifth of the remaining balls are blue, and therefore there are 270 x (1 / 5) = 54 blue balls. The total of red and blue balls equals 90 + 54 = 144 balls. When you remove the red and blue balls from the total there are 360 - 144 = 216 balls that are neither red nor blue.
The answer: 216
Reverse engineering the question: There are 360 balls in the ball pit. If a quarter of the balls in the ball pit are red and a fifth of the remaining balls are blue. How many of the balls are neither red nor blue?
Reasoning and answer: 2% of $90 is (2 / 100) * $90 = $1.8. 2% of $60 is (2 / 100) * $60 = $1.2. The second transaction was reversed without the service charge so only a total of $90 + $1.8 + $1.2 = $93 was deducted from his account. He will have a balance of $400 - $93 = $307.
The answer: 307
What was the question?
Question: Paul made two bank transfers of $90 and $60 respectively. A service charge of 2% was added to each transaction. If the second transaction was reversed (without the service charge), what is his account balance now if it was $400 before he made any of the transfers?
Reasoning and answer: The tickets are $50.00 each and they need 2 tickets so that's 50 * 2 = $100.00. There is a 15% processing fee for the tickets so that's 100 * .15 = $15.00. The tickets are $100.00 and the processing fee is $15.00 for a total of 100 + 15 = $115.00. There is a $5.00 per person entrance fee and there are 2 people so that's 5 * 2 = $10.00. The tickets are $115.00, parking is $10.00 and the entrance fee is $10.0 for a total of 115 + 10 + 10 = $135.00.
The answer: 135
