Question: Carl has a jar full of marbles. He takes out 12 marbles to play a game with, but he accidentally drops them and 1/2 the marbles get lost. So Carl takes out 10 more marbles. While he is playing his game his mother comes home with another bag of marbles for him, which has 25 marbles in it. If Carl can't find his lost marbles, then how many marbles is he going to put in the jar after he plays his game, from both his original marbles and the new ones?
Answer: Carl starts with 12 marbles to play with but loses 1 / 2, 12 / 2 = 6 marbles Carl didn't lose. Carl takes out 10 more marbles, 6 + 10 = 16 marbles. Then Carl's mother brings him 25 new marbles to add to the 16 he has out of his jar, 25 + 16 = 41 marbles that Carl is going to put in his jar after he plays his marbles game. The answer is 41.
[Question]Hannah is trying to figure out how much she'll get paid this week. She makes $30/hour and works 18 hours per week. Her pay is docked $5 each time she's late. If she was late 3 times this week, how much does she get paid?
[Answer]Hannah's total earnings are 18 hours * $30 / hour = $540 a week. Her pay was docked because she was late 3 times, so 3 times * $5 per time = $15 were docked. She gets paid $540 - $15 = $525 at the end of the week. The answer is 525.
Q: The school is hosting a race after school. The winner is the person who runs the most laps around the school in 12 minutes. One lap around the school is 100 meters. The winner is awarded a gift certificate equal to $3.5 for every one hundred meters they run. The winner runs 24 laps around the school. On average, how much did they earn per minute?
A: They ran 2,400 meters because 24 laps x 100 m / lap = 2400 m. They ran 200 meters per minute because 2400 m / 12 min = 200 m / min. For every minute they ran they earned an average of $7 because $3.5 / 100m x 200 m / min = $7 / min. The answer is 7.
Question: John decides to get a new apartment with a roommate. His former rent was $2 per square foot for a 750 square foot apartment. His new apartment cost $2800 per month, which he splits evenly with the roommate. How much money does he save a year?
