Q: Marie is planning to buy a new cash register for her bakery that costs $1040. Every day Marie sells 40 loaves of bread for $2 each and 6 cakes for $12 each. She has to pay $20 each day for rent and $2 each day for electricity. How many days' worth of profits will it take for Marie to pay for the cash register?
A: First figure out how much money Marie makes from selling bread each day by multiplying the number of loaves sold by the price per loaf: 40 loaves * $2 / loaf = $80. Next figure out how much money Marie makes from selling cakes each day by multiplying the number of cakes sold by the price per cake: 6 cakes * $12 / cake = $72. Now add the money from selling the bread to the money from selling the cakes to find Marie's total daily income: $80 + $72 = $152. Next subtract Marie's daily expenses from her daily income to find her daily profit: $152 - $20 - $2 = $130. Finally, divide the price of the cash register by Marie's daily profit to find how many days' profits she needs to pay for it: $1040 / $130 = 8. The answer is 8.

[Question]Maurice had only been horseback riding a handful of times in his life. His best friend, Matt, goes horseback riding regularly. When Maurice went to visit Matt for two weeks, he rode another 8 times. Each time, Matt went with him. Meanwhile, besides the times that Matt accompanied Maurice, he rode an additional 16 times. If the total number of times Matt rode during that two weeks is three times the number of times Maurice had ridden before his visit, how many times had Maurice been horseback riding before visiting Matt?
[Answer]During the two weeks, Matt rode a total of 16 times + 8 times = 24 times. Before his visit, Maurice had ridden 24 times / 3 = 8 times. The answer is 8.
Q: Mark has kangaroos and goats. Kangaroos have two legs and goats have four legs. If he has 23 kangaroos and three times as many goats as kangaroos what is the total number of legs of all his animals?
A: His kangaroos have a total of 23 * 2 = 46 legs. He has 23 * 3 = 69 goats. The goats have 69 * 4 = 276 legs. So in total his animals have 276 + 46 = 322 legs. The answer is 322.
Question: Jake trips over his dog 40% percent of mornings. 25% of the time he trips, he drops his coffee. What percentage of mornings does he NOT drop his coffee?
Answer: First multiply the chance of each event happening to find the chance they both happen: 40% * 25% = 10%. Then subtract that percentage from 100% to find the percentage of the time Jake doesn't drop his coffee: 100% - 10% = 90%. The answer is 90.
Q: If Mr. Jones has 6 shirts for every pair of pants, and he has 40 pants, what's the total number of pieces of clothes he owns if all other factors remain the same?
A:
If Mr. Jones has 6 shirts for every pair of pants, and he has 40 pants, the total number of shirts he has is 6 * 40 = 240. The total number of pieces of clothes he owns is 240 + 40 = 280. The answer is 280.
