Q: Mr. Rocky went to the market to sell his handmade crafts on a particular week. He was selling jewelry at $30 each and paintings at $100 each. However, he realized the income from the sales wasn't worth the labor and materials he had used, so he decided to increase the price of jewelry by $10 each and the cost of each painting by 20%. Calculate the total price a buyer who takes two pieces of jewelry and five paintings would pay
A: After increasing the price of a piece of jewelry, the price increased from $30 to $30 + $10 = $40 each. He also increased the price of each painting by 20 / 100 * 100 = $20. The total price for buying one painting at the new price is $100 + $20 = $120. If a buyer purchases two pieces of jewelry, the total cost becomes 2 * $40 = $80. When the buyer also buys 5 paintings, he pays a total of $120 * 5 = $600. 2 pieces of jewelry and 5 paintings cost $600 + $80 = $680 at the new prices. The answer is 680.
Question: Perry wants to buy a new modern bedroom set for $2000. He received $200.00 in gift cards over the holidays that he can use toward the set. The store is currently offering the entire set at 15% off. If he signs up for the store credit card and uses it to buy the set, he will save an additional 10% off on the discounted set. What is the final price of the set?
Answer: The bedroom set is $2000 and it's currently 15% off so 2000 * .15 = $300.00 off. So the new price of the set is 2000 - 300 = $1,700.00. He signs up for the credit card so that's 10% off so .10 * 1700 = $170.00. Now the set is 1700 - 170 = $1,530.00. He has a $200.00 gift card which brings the price to 1530 - 200 = $1,330.00. The answer is 1330.
[Question]Ms. Jones got thank you cards from 30% of her class. 1/3 of these contained a gift card for $10. If she got $50 in gift cards, how many students were in her class?
[Answer]She got 5 gift cards because 50 / 10 = 5. She got 15 thank you cards because 5 / (1 / 3) = 15. She has 50 students because 15 / .3 = 50. The answer is 50.
Q: There are 26 chickens, 40 piglets, and 34 goats at Stacy's farm. A really bad storm hits and half of all the animals get sick. How many animals in total get sick?
A: 26 / 2 = 13 chickens get sick. 40 / 2 = 20 piglets get sick. 34 / 2 = 17 goats get sick. In total, 13 + 20 + 17 = 50 animals get sick. The answer is 50.
Question: Wally gives 3/4 of his 400 tickets to his two friends Jensen and Finley, who share the tickets in a ratio of 4:11. How many tickets does Finley get?
Answer: Wally gives his friends 3 / 4 * 400 = 300 tickets to share. The total ratio that represents the tickets that Jensen and Finley share is 4 + 11 = 15. From the total ratio, the fraction that represents the share that Finley got is 11 / 15, and since he shared with Jensen 300 tickets, he got 11 / 15 * 300 = 220 tickets. The answer is 220.
Q: Ian is looking to lose some weight. He decides to start jogging around his apartment complex every night to burn some calories. He does 5 laps around the complex every night. Each lap is 100 feet. If it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, how many calories does Ian burn after 5 days of jogging like this?
A:
First, we need to determine how many feet Ian runs in a week. We begin this by multiplying the number of laps by the number of feet per lap, performing 5 * 100 = 500 feet per day. Since there are 5 days in the period being measured, this means Ian runs 500 * 5 = 2500 feet jogged. Since it takes 25 feet of jogging to burn a calorie, this means Ian burns 2500 / 25 = 100 calories burned jogging throughout the week. The answer is 100.
