Q: Greg bought a 20-pack of granola bars to eat at lunch for the week. He set aside one for each day of the week, traded three of the remaining bars to his friend Pete for a soda, and gave the rest to his two sisters. How many did each sister get when they split them evenly?
A: Greg kept 1 granola bar for each of the 7 days of the week, so there were 20 - 7 = 13 bars left. He traded 3 to his friend Pete, so there were 13 - 3 = 10 bars left. His 2 sisters split the rest evenly, so each got 10 / 2 = 5 granola bars. The answer is 5.
Question: Alex gets paid $500 a week and 10% of his weekly income is deducted as tax. He also pays his weekly water bill for $55 and gives away another 10% of his weekly income as a tithe. How much money does Alex have left?
Answer: His income tax is 10% of 500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. His tithe costs 10% of $500 which is 500 * 10% = $50. The total expenses are 50 + 55 + 50 = $155. He is then left with $500 - $ 155 = $345. The answer is 345.
[Question]The water pressure of a sink has a steady flow of 2 cups per 10 minutes for the first 30 minutes. It still flows at 2 cups per 10 minutes for the next 30 minutes after. For the next hour, the water pressure maximizes to 4 cups per 10 minutes and stops. Shawn now has to dump half of the water away. How much water is left?
[Answer]For the first 30 minutes, 3 * 2 = 6 cups of water came out. For the next 30 minutes, 3 * 2 = 6 cups of water came out. For the next hour, 6 * 4 = 24 cups of water came out. A total of 6 + 6 + 24 = 36 cups of water came out. Shawn had to dump water which left 36 / 2 = 18 cups of water. The answer is 18.
Q: Neil charges $5.00 to trim up each boxwood. He charges $15.00 to trim it into a fancy shape. The customer wants the entire 30 boxwood hedge trimmed up. He has also asked for 4 specific boxwoods shaped into spheres. How much will Neil charge?
A: He has 30 boxwoods to trim and will charge $5.00 each so he will charge 30 * 5 = $150.00. He will shape 4 boxwoods into spheres for $15.00 each so he will charge 4 * 15 = $$60.00. All total he will charge 150 + 60 = $210.00. The answer is 210.
Question: Joy fosters dogs. The mom foster dog eats 1.5 cups of food, three times a day. The puppies each eat 1/2 cup of food, twice a day. There are 5 puppies. How much food will Joy need for the next 6 days?
Answer:
The mom dog eats 1.5 cups of food * 3 = 4.5 cups per day. For 6 days the mom dog will need 6 * 4.5 cups = 27 cups of food. The puppies eat 1 / 2 cup of food * 2 = 1 cup per day. There are 5 puppies * 1 cup = 5 cups per day for the puppies. For the 6 days, the puppies will need 5 cups * 6 = 30 cups of food. Combined the dogs will need 27 cups + 30 cups = 57 cups. The answer is 57.
