Q: Cyrus has been contracted to write a 500 page book. On his first day, he writes 25 pages and twice that amount on the second day. On the third day he is able to write twice the amount that he did on the second day. On the fourth day, he gets writer's block and is only able to write 10 pages. How many more pages does he need to write?
A: On the second day he wrote twice the amount as the first day, which was 25 pages so 2 * 25 = 50 pages. On the third day he wrote twice the amount as he did on the second day, which was 50 pages so 2 * 50 = 100 pages. The first day he wrote 25, then 50, then 100 and 10 on the fourth day for a total of 25 + 50 + 100 + 10 = 185. He needs to write 500 pages and has written 185 which means he has 500 - 185 = 315 more pages to write. The answer is 315.
Question: Angela has a collection of 24 pieces of rare action figures. She sold off a quarter of them at the pawnshop and gave one-third of the remainder to her daughter. How many does she have left?
Answer: One - quarter of 24 action figures is 24 * (1 / 4) = 6. She sold off 6 action figures so she has 24 - 6 = 18 left. One - third of 18 is 18 * (1 / 3) = 6. She gave out 6 so she has 18 - 6 = 12 left. The answer is 12.
[Question]Juanico is 4 years less than half the age of Gladys. If Gladys will be 40 years old ten years from now, calculate Juanico's age 30 years from now.
[Answer]If Gladys will be 40 years old ten years from now, she is 40 - 10 = 30 years old currently. Juanico is 4 years less than half the age of Gladys, meaning he is 4 years younger than 1 / 2 * 30 = 15 years. Juanico's age is 15 - 4 = 11 years. Juanico's age 30 years from now will be 30 + 11 = 41 years. The answer is 41.
Q: Kate loves painting. She decided to go to an Art-museum in her city. The entrance fee is $5. Kate loved the visit so much, that she decided to go there once a month. After 1 year, the ticket price increased to $7 and Kate decided she is going to visit the museum only 4 times a year. How much did Kate pay for all visits to the Art-museum after 3 years of visiting?
A: One year is 12 months, so during the first year, Kate spent $5 / month * 12 months / year = $60 / year on the tickets. After that, she went to the museum for 3 years - 1 year = 2 more years. During this time, she visited the museum 2 years * 4 visits / year = 8 visits. She had to pay the higher price of $7, so she spent $7 / visit * 8 visits = $56 in two last years. In total Kate paid $56 + $60 = $116 during 3 years. The answer is 116.
