Question: While shopping, Greg spent 300$ on a shirt and shoes. If Greg spent 9 more than twice as much on shoes as he did a shirt, how much did Greg spend on a shirt?
Answer: Let x be the amount spent on a shirt. Greg spent 2x + 9 dollars on shoes. 300 = x + (2x + 9). 300 = 3x + 9. 291 = 3x. x = 97$. Greg spent 97$ on a shirt. The answer is 97.
[Question]Gloria wants to buy the $129,000 mountain cabin that her friend Alfonso is selling. She only has $150 in cash. She intends to raise the remaining amount by selling her mature trees for lumber. She has 20 cypress trees, 600 pine trees, and 24 maple trees. She will get $100 for each cypress tree, $300 for a maple tree, and $200 per pine tree. After paying Alfonso for the cabin, how much money will Gloria have left?
[Answer]The cypress trees will earn Gloria 20 trees * $100 / tree = $2000. From the sale of the cypress trees, Gloria will also make 600 trees * $200 / tree = $120000. Finally, the maple trees will bring in 24 trees * $300 / tree = $7200. Combining all the amounts will give Gloria a total of $150 + $2000 + $120000 + $7200 = $129350. Subtracting the cost of the mountain cabin from the total will leave Gloria with a balance of $129350 - $129000 = $350. The answer is 350.
Q: Calum runs a nightclub and decides to run a disco night to attract different customers. He is planning the event and is calculating how much he can spend on each item without spending more than he has budgeted. He only needs to buy 4 disco balls and 10 boxes of food. Each box of food costs $25. Calum's budget for the disco balls and food is $330. How much, in dollars, can Calum afford to spend on each disco ball?
A: The food is going to cost Calum a total of 10 boxes of food * $25 per box of food = $250. This leaves $330 budget - $250 spent on food = $80 to spend on disco balls. Calum can therefore afford to spend $80 remaining budget / 4 disco balls = $20 on each disco ball. The answer is 20.
