Q: Lyla, a grocery store owner, bought rice weighing 30 kg less than green beans, which weigh 10 kg more than sugar. While carrying the goods to the store, the bags fell down and 1/3 weight of the rice and 1/5 weight of sugar was lost. If the green beans weighed 60 kgs, then how much did the remaining stock weigh?
A: If rice weighed 30 kg less than the green beans, then the total rice weight is 60 kg - 30 kg = 30 kg. If the green beans weighed 10 kg more than sugar, then the total sugar weight is 60 kg - 10 kg = 50 kg. When 1 / 3 weight of rice was lost, the weight loss became 1 / 3 * 30 = 10kg. The weight of rice after the loss is 30 kg - 10 kg = 20 kg. When 1 / 5 weight of sugar was lost, the lost weight was 1 / 5 * 50 kg = 10 kg. The weight of sugar after the loss is 50 kg - 10 kg = 40 kg. The total weight for all the items is 40 kg + 20 kg + 60 kg = 120 kg. The answer is 120.
Question: Sally needs to make a tablecloth that measures 102 inches by 54 inches. She also needs to make 8 napkins that are 6 by 7 inches. How many square inches of material will Sally need to make the tablecloth and the 8 napkins?
Answer: Tablecloth = 102 * 54 = 5508 square inches. Napkins = 8 * (6 * 7) = 336 square inches. 5508 + 336 = 5844 square inches. Sally will need 5844 square inches of material to make the tablecloth and 8 napkins. The answer is 5844.
[Question]Mr. Maximilian has a rental building that he collects rent from every month. The number of units in the building is 100. If the building is 3/4 occupied for a whole year, and each resident of the building pays a rent of $400, calculate the amount of money Mr. Maximilian receives in that year.
[Answer]Since there are 100 units, the number of units occupied by tenants is 3 / 4 * 100 = 75. If each tenant pays $400 every month, Mr Maximilian receives 75 * $400 = $30000 in rent revenue every month. In a year, Mr Maximilian receives $30000 * 12 = $360000 in rent revenue. The answer is 360000.
Q: The vending machine fails to drop a snack when it's purchased one in six times. One in ten times, it will accidentally drop two snacks. The rest of the time, it drops the purchased snack. If thirty people have used the vending machine once each to purchase a snack, how many snacks has the vending machine dropped?
A: The vending machine has been used 30 times, so it has failed to drop a snack 30 / 6 = 5 times. The vending machine has dropped 2 snacks 30 / 10 = 3 times. It has operated normally and dropped 1 snack 30 - 5 - 3 = 22 times. Thus, the vending machine has dropped 22 + 3 * 2 = 22 + 6 = 28 snacks in thirty uses. The answer is 28.
Question: Monica charges $25.00 per person when catering a dinner party. For repeat customers, she offers a 10% discount. Phoebe is a repeat customer who is having a dinner party for 20 guests. How much will Monica make from the party?
Answer: Phoebe is having 20 guests and Monica charges $25.00 per person so that's 20 * 25 = $500.00. Phoebe is a repeat customer so she gets 10% off of $500.00 so that's .10 * 500 = $50.00 discount. Monica is charging $500.00 minus the repeat customer discount of $50.00 so she will make 500 - 50 = $450.00. The answer is 450.
