[Question]In a triangle with angles A, B, and C, A is 60 degrees, and B is two times as big as C. Calculate the angle of B.
[Answer]Since the angles in a triangle adds up to 180, and A is 40 degrees, B and C have a total of 180 - 60 = 120 degrees. Since B is two times bigger than C, the total of the angles of B and C is equal to 2C + C = 120. 3C = 120. The angle of C is C = 120 / 3. C is 40. Since B is two times as big as C, B is 2 * 40 = 80 degrees. The answer is 80.
Q: After shearing her 200 sheep, Azalea paid the shearer who had come to help her with the work $2000 for his job. Each of the sheared sheep produced 10 pounds of wool. If Ms. Azalea sold a pound of wool at $20, how much profit did she make from the produce of her sheep farm?
A: Since there were 200 sheep, the amount of wool Azalea got after the shearing of the sheep is 200 * 10 = 2000 pounds of wool. If she sold one pound of wool at $20, the total amount of money she made from the sheep farm is 2000 * $20 = $40000. Her profit, which is $2000 less the amount of money she paid to the shearer, is $40000 - $2000 = 38000. The answer is 38000.
Question: Kurt's old refrigerator cost $0.85 a day in electricity. He recently bought a new energy-efficient refrigerator that only cost $0.45 a day in electricity. How much money does Kurt save in a 30-day month with his new refrigerator?
Answer: The old refrigerator costs $0.85 a day so for 30 days it costs .85 * 30 = $25.50. The new refrigerator costs $0.45 a day so for 30 days it costs .45 * 30 = $13.50. Over 30 days, Kurt saves 25.50 - 13.50 = $12.00 a month with his new refrigerator. The answer is 12.
[Question]Lao is farming chickens. He can sell each chicken for $1.50. A bag of chicken feed weighs 20 pounds and costs $2. Each chicken will need 2 pounds of feed from the time it hatches to the time he sells it. If he makes $65 profit from selling chickens, how many did he sell?
[Answer]A bag of feed is enough for 10 chickens because 20 / 2 = 10. Each chicken costs $.2 to raise because 2 / 10 = .2. Each chicken results in $1.3 of profit because 1.5 - .2 = 1.3. He sells 50 chickens because 65 / 1.3 = 50. The answer is 50.
[Question]A baker bakes 5 loaves of bread an hour in one oven. He has 4 ovens. From Monday to Friday, he bakes for 5 hours, but on Saturday and Sunday, he only bakes for 2 hours. How many loaves of bread does the baker bake in 3 weeks?
[Answer]
In an hour, the baker bakes 5 x 4 = 20 loaves of bread. From Monday to Friday, he bakes 5 x 20 = 100 loaves of bread per day. From Monday to Friday, he bakes a total of 100 x 5 = 500 loaves of bread. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes 2 x 20 = 40 loaves of bread per day. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes a total of 40 x 2 = 80 loaves of bread. In a week, he bakes 500 + 80 = 580 loaves of bread. In 3 weeks, he bakes 580 x 3 = 1740 loaves of bread. The answer is 1740.
