[Question]Luke takes fifty more than five times as many grape jelly beans as vanilla jelly beans. If there are 120 vanilla jelly beans, how many jelly beans are there in total?
[Answer]Luke takes 5 * 120 = 600 grape jelly beans, five times the vanilla jelly beans there are?. Luke's total number of grape jelly beans is fifty more than five times the number of vanilla jelly beans, a total of 600 + 50 = 650. In total, there are 650 + 120 = 770 jelly beans. The answer is 770.
Q: Hanna has $300. She wants to buy roses at $2 each and give some of the roses to her friends, Jenna and Imma. Jenna will receive 1/3 of the roses, and Imma will receive 1/2 of the roses. How many roses does Hanna give to her friends?
A: Hanna can buy $300 / $2 = 150 roses. So, Jenna will receive 1 / 3 x 150 = 50 roses. While Imma will receive 1 / 2 x 150 = 75 roses. Therefore, Hanna gives a total of 50 + 75 = 125 roses to her friends. The answer is 125.
Question: Steve's new book sells 1,000,000 copies. He got an advance to pay for 100,000 copies. He gets $2 for each copy of the book sold. His agent takes 10% of that. How much money did he keep not counting the money from the advance?
Answer: He sold 1,000,000 - 100,000 = 900,000 not counting the advance. So he made 900,000 * 2 = $1,800,000 from selling the books. His agent took 1,800,000 * .1 = $180,000. That means he kept 1,800,000 - 180,000 = $1,620,000. The answer is 1620000.
[Question]Jason has to drive home which is 120 miles away. If he drives at 60 miles per hour for 30 minutes, what speed does he have to average for the remainder of the drive to get there in exactly 1 hour 30 minutes?
[Answer]Jason drives 60 miles per hour * 0.5 hours = 30 miles initially. He needs to drive an additional 120 miles total - 30 miles driven = 90 more miles. He has 1.5 hours - 0.5 hours = 1 hour to drive the remaining distance. He must average 90 miles per hour to drive the remaining 90 miles in 1 hour. The answer is 90.
[Question]A big snowstorm caused a large amount of snow to fall onto Grandpa's farm, and the wind caused the snow to pile up into a drift. But on the second day, it warmed up enough that half of the snowdrift melted. The third day, it snowed again, adding another 6 inches of snow onto the snowdrift. On the fourth day, another 18 inches of snow fell onto the snowdrift. If the snowdrift was 34 inches deep at the end of the fourth day, how deep in inches was the drift at the end of the first day?
[Answer]
The third and fourth day contributed 6 + 18 = 24 inches to the depth of the snowdrift. Therefore, the size of the snowdrift after half was melted on the second day, but before the snowfall on the third and fourth day, was 34 - 24 = 10 inches. If the size of the drift on the second day, after half of the snow had melted, was 10 inches, then the depth of the original drift created on day 1 was 2 * 10 = 20 inches deep. The answer is 20.
