Q: If there are two pennies in each of the twelve compartments of Roshesmina's piggy bank and she adds 6 more pennies to each compartment, calculate the total number of pennies she has?
A: In each compartment, there are two pennies, and when she adds 6 pennies to each compartment, one compartment will have 6 + 2 = 8 pennies. If there are 12 compartments, and each compartment now contains 8 pennies, there are a total of 12 * 8 = 96 pennies in all the compartments. The answer is 96.
Question: Julio receives a $1 commission for every customer that buys in Edgars Fashion Store. The store sells to 35 customers in the first week, twice as many in the second week, and triple as many as the first week in the third week. If he receives a salary of $500 for the 3 weeks and a bonus of $50, how much in total does he earn for the 3 weeks?
Answer: The number of customers who buy in the second week is 35 customers * 2 = 70 customers. The number of customers who buy in the third week is 35 customers * 3 = 105 customers. The total number of customers who buy during the 3 weeks is 35 customers + 70 customers + 105 customers = 210 customers. The total commission he receives is 210 customers * $1 / customer = $210. The total income he earns is $210 + $500 + $50 = $760. The answer is 760.
[Question]Tony is driving his car between his town and a friend's down. The towns are 120 miles apart and he gets there in 3 hours. The next day, he is driving to see another friend who lives 200 miles away from his friend. If he drives at the same speed, how long will the drive take?
[Answer]He is driving 40 MPH because 120 / 3 = 40. It will take him 5 hours because 200 / 40 = 5. The answer is 5.
Q: Andy harvests all the tomatoes from 18 plants that have 7 tomatoes each. If he dries half the tomatoes and turns a third of the remainder into marinara sauce, how many tomatoes are left?
A: First find the total number of tomatoes harvested: 18 plants * 7 tomatoes / plant = 126 tomatoes. Then divide that number by 2 to find how many tomatoes are left undried: 126 tomatoes / 2 = 63 tomatoes. Then divide that number by 3 to find how many tomatoes are turned into sauce: 63 tomatoes / 3 = 21 tomatoes. Then subtract that number from the number of undried tomatoes to find the remaining number of tomatoes: 63 tomatoes - 21 tomatoes = 42 tomatoes. The answer is 42.
Question: Karen is packing her backpack for a long-distance hike. She packs 20 pounds of water, 10 pounds of food, and 20 pounds of gear. During her hike, she drinks 2 pounds of water per hour and eats 1/3rd the weight of food per hour as water per hour. How much weight is she carrying after six hours?
Answer:
First find the weight of food Karen eats every hour: 2 pounds * 1 / 3 = 2 / 3 pounds food. Then find the total amount of weight Karen's backpack loses per hour she hikes: 2 pounds water / hour + 2 / 3 pound food / hour = 8 / 3 pounds / hour. Multiply this by the number of hours she hikes to find the total amount of weight she loses: 8 / 3 pounds / hour * 6 hours = 16 pounds. Add the weight of all her items to find total starting weight: 20 pounds + 10 pounds + 20 pounds = 50 pounds. Then subtract the weight she loses from the starting weight to find the weight after 6 hours: 50 pounds - 16 pounds = 34 pounds. The answer is 34.
