[Question]Kate has 2 red balloons and 4 blue balloons. Assuming she inflates 4 more balloons, two of each color red and blue, what is the percent likelihood that one selected at random will be red?
[Answer]After inflating the 4 new balloons, she will have 2 red + 4 blue + 4 new = 10 total balloons. The probability of selecting red will be (2 red + 2 red newly inflated) / 10 total balloons = 40%. The answer is 40.
Q: Jason sent 220 text messages on Monday, half as many text messages on Tuesday, and 50 text messages each day Wednesday through Friday. How many text messages did he send on average during those five days?
A: First find how many text messages he sent on Tuesday: 220 messages / 2 = 110 messages. Then find how many text messages he sent Wednesday - Friday: 50 messages / day * 3 days = 150 messages. Then add up all the messages he sent to find the total: 110 messages + 150 messages + 220 messages = 480 messages. Then divide that number by the number of days to find the average number of messages he sent per day: 480 messages / 5 days = 96 messages / day. The answer is 96.
Question: Page collects fancy shoes and has 80 pairs in her closet. She decides to donate 30% of her collection that she no longer wears. After dropping off her donation, she treats herself and buys 6 more pairs to add to her collection. How many shoes does she have now?
Answer: She donates 30% of her 80 pairs of shoes so that's .30 * 80 = 24 pair of shoes she donates. She had 80 shoes in her collection and donates 24 so that leaves 80 - 24 = 56 pairs of shoes. She now has 56 pairs of shoes and buys 6 more pairs so her collection is now 56 + 6 = 62 pairs of shoes. The answer is 62.
[Question]The lunchroom is full of students: 40% are girls and the remainder are boys. There are 2 monitors for every 15 students. There are 8 monitors. Every boy drinks, on average, 1 carton of milk, and every girl drinks, on average, 2 cartons of milk. How many total cartons of milk are consumed by the students in the lunchroom?
[Answer]There is 1 monitor for every fifteen students because 30 / 2 = 15. There are 120 students because 8 x 15 = 120. 60% of the lunchroom is boys because 100 - 40 = 60. There are 72 boys because 120 x .6 = 72. There are 48 girls because 120 x .4 = 48. The boys drink 72 cartons of milk because 72 x 1 = 72. The girls drink 96 cartons of milk because 48 x 2 = 96. They drink 168 cartons of milk because 72 + 96 = 168. The answer is 168.
[Question]Jimmy is going to sell pizzas at the carnival to make some money. The carnival only gave him 7 hours to do so. He bought a 22kg sack of flour to make his pizzas and he takes 10 min to make each pizza for the customers. At the end of the 7 hours, he saw some flour was left. Knowing that each pizza needs 0.5kg of flour to make, how many pizzas can he make to bring home with the flour left?
[Answer]
Each hour Jimmy makes 60min 10min / pizza = 6 Pizzas. The number of total pizzas made equals 7 hours x 6 pizzas / hour = 42 pizzas. The amount of total flour used equals 42 pizzas x 0.5 kg / pizza = 21 kg. The amount of flour left equals 22 kg - 21 kg = 1 kg. The number of pizzas Jimmy can make is 1kg 0.5kg / pizza = 2 pizzas. The answer is 2.
