Question: John decides to stop delivering the newspapers he is supposed to deliver and instead steals them to recycle them for cash. The Monday-Saturday papers weigh 8 ounces each. The Sunday paper weighs twice as much. He is supposed to deliver 250 papers a day. He doesn't deliver them for 10 weeks. If one ton of paper recycles for $20, how much did he make?
Answer: We know that 7 - 1 = 6 days the paper weighs 8 ounces. So those contribute 6 * 8 = 48 ounces per week. So in total a weekly delivery of papers weighs 48 + 16 = 64 ounces. That means it weighs 64 / 16 = 4 pounds. So each week he delivers 4 * 250 = 1000 pounds of paper. So in 10 weeks, he delivers 10 * 1000 = 10000 pounds of paper. That weighs 10000 / 2000 = 5 tons of paper. So he makes 5 * 20 = $100 from recycling the paper. The answer is 100.
[Question]Tyson played basketball on the schoolyard. He scored three points fifteen times, and two points twelve times. He also scored one point some number of times. How many times did he score one point, if in total he scored 75 points?
[Answer]Tyson scored three points fifteen times, which would be 3 * 15 = 45 points. He also scored two points twelve times, which would give him a score of 2 * 12 = 24. So Tyson scored 75 - 45 - 24 = 6 points, by one point each. The answer is 6.
Q: There are twenty-two people in a waiting room. If three more people arrive, the number of people in the waiting room becomes five times the number of people inside the interview room. How many people are in the interview room?
A: There are twenty - two people in a waiting room, and if three more people arrive, the number increases to 22 + 3 = 25. If three more people arrive, the number of people in the waiting room becomes five times the number of people that are inside the interview room, meaning there are 25 / 5 = 5 people inside the interview room. The answer is 5.
Question: Three old cars displayed in an auction event have different manufacture dates. The first car, made in 1970, was made 10 years earlier than the second car. The third car was manufactured 20 years later after the second car was manufactured. Calculate the year that the third car was made.
Answer:
If the first car was made 10 years earlier than the second car, then the manufacture date for the second car is 1970 + 10 = 1980. The third car was manufactured 20 years after the second car was made, which is 1980 + 20 = 2000. The answer is 2000.
