Answer this question:A snack machine accepts only quarters. Candy bars cost 25, each piece of chocolate costs 75, and a pack of juice costs 50. How many quarters are needed to buy three candy bars, two pieces of chocolate, and one pack of juice?
Three candy bars cost 25 x 3 = 75. Two pieces of chocolate cost 75 x 2 = 150. So, the total amount needed to buy those is 75 + 150 + 50 = 275. Since a quarter is equal to 25, therefore 275 / 25 = 11 quarters are needed.
The answer is 11.

Answer this question:Tonya has $150.00 on her credit card. If she leaves any balance on her card at the end of the month, she is charged 20% interest. If she makes a $50.00 payment on her card, what will be the new balance?
Her card has a $150.00 balance and she makes a $50.00 payment so the new balance is 150 - 50 = $100.00. She didn't pay it off so she is charged 20% interest on her $100.00 balance so the interest is .20 * 100 = $20.00. Her balance was $100.00 and she was charged $20.00 in interest so her new balance is 100 + 20 = $120.00.
The answer is 120.

Answer this question:The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest man-made structure on earth for almost 4000 years. It is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, and 234 feet wider than it is tall. What is the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza in feet?
The height is 20 feet taller than 500 feet, or 500 + 20 = 520 feet. The structure is 234 feet wider than it is tall, or a width of 520 + 234 = 754 feet wide. Therefore, the sum of the height and width of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 520 + 754 = 1274 feet.
The answer is 1274.
