Q: Jamie and Oliver are planning to go on a vacation. A plane ticket costs $24 for each person and a hotel stay costs $12 for each person per day. How much money will they spend on the vacation if they stay for 3 days?
A: Jamie and Oliver will spend $24 x 2 = $48 for the plane ticket. They will spend $12 x 2 = $24 for staying in the hotel per day. So, the total amount they will spend on the hotel for a 3 - day stay is $24 x 3 = $72. Therefore, the total amount they will spend on their vacation is $72 + $48 = $120. The answer is 120.
Question: Company A and Company B merge. Company A receives 60% of the combined profits under the new merger, and company B receives 40% of the profits. If company B gets a total of $60000 in profit, how much does company A get?
Answer: Let the total profit of both companies be denoted by x. Therefore, 40% * x = 0.4 * x = $60000. So x = $60000 / 0.4 = $150000. If Company B gets 60 % of the profits, it gets 60% of $150000, which is 0.6 * $150000 = $90000. The answer is 90000.
