Question: James buys 200 lotto tickets for 2 dollars each. Of those tickets 20% are winners. 80% of the winners are for 5 dollars. 1 ticket is the grand prize of $5,000. The other tickets win an average of $10. How much did he profit?
Answer: He spent 200 * 2 = $400. There were 200 * .2 = 40 tickets. Of those 40 * .8 = 32 are 5 dollar winners. So they win 32 * 5 = $160. He has 40 - 32 = 8 other winning tickets. Of those 8 - 1 = 7 wins $10. So they win 10 * 7 = $70. So he won 5000 + 70 + 160 - 400 = $4830. The answer is 4830.
Q: Marcus is having a water balloon party. He has 100 balloons. Each balloon holds 3 ounces of water. He can buy 50 ounces of water for $2.5 a bottle. If he walks into the store with 2 $10 bills, how much change will he have after he buys all the water he needs?
A:
He will need 300 ounces of water because 100 x 3 = 300. He will need 6 bottles because 300 / 50 = 6. This will cost $15 because 6 x 2.5 = 15. He has $20 because 2 x 10 = 20. He will get $5 in change because 20 - 15 = 5. The answer is 5.
