[Question]Simon collected treasures on the beach during his summer vacation. He collected a bucket of pearly seashells, a jar full of smooth sea glass, and a bag of ten sand dollars. If the jar holds three times as many pieces of glass as the bag does sand dollars, and the bucket holds five times as many seashells as the jar holds pieces of glass, how many treasures did Simon find on the beach?
[Answer]The jar holds 3 * 10 = 30 pieces of glass. The bucket holds 5 * 30 = 150 seashells. Simon found 10 + 30 + 150 = 190 treasures on the beach. The answer is 190.
Q: A soccer team has three goalies and ten defenders. The team also has twice as many midfielders as defenders, and the rest of the players are strikers. If the team has 40 players, how many strikers are in the team?
A: The team's total number of goalies and defenders is 3 + 10 = 13. The number of midfielders in the team is twice the number of defenders, which means there are 2 * 10 = 20 defenders in the team. The total number of players in the team playing the positions of goalies, defenders and midfielders is 20 + 13 = 33. If there are 40 players in the team, then the number of strikes in the team is 40 - 33 = 7. The answer is 7.
Question: If Alice purchased 3600 acorns for nine times the price Bob paid, and Bob paid $6000 for his acorns, how much money did Alice pay for each acorn?
Answer: Nine times the price Bob paid for his acorns is 9 * $6000 = $54000. If Alice purchased 3600 acorns for nine times the price Bob paid, she paid $54000 / 3600 = $15 for each acorn. The answer is 15.
[Question]Heather made four times as many pizzas as Craig made on their first day at work at Mr. Pizza Inns. On their second day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig's number. If Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day and 60 more pizzas on their second day than their first day, calculate the total number of pizzas the two made together in the two days.
[Answer]Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day at work, while heather made four times that number, a total of 4 * 40 = 160 pizzas. Together, they made 160 + 40 = 200 pizzas on their first day. On the second day, Craig made 60 more pizzas than his first day at work, which totals 60 + 40 = 100 pizzas. On the same day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig, a total of 100 - 20 = 80 pizzas. Together, they made 80 + 100 = 180 pizzas on the second day. In the two days, the two of them made a total of 180 + 200 = 380 pizzas. The answer is 380.
Q: A bakery sells boxes of doughnuts and if there are any doughnuts left at the end of the day, the bakery gives them away. Each box of doughnuts holds 10 doughnuts and all of the doughnuts that the bakery makes are put into these boxes. The bakery makes 300 doughnuts for the day and sells 27 boxes of doughnuts throughout the day. How many doughnuts are given away at the end of the day?
A: The bakery has made 300 total doughnuts / 10 doughnuts per box = 30 boxes of doughnuts. So at the end of the day, they still have 30 total boxes of doughnuts 27 sold boxes of doughnuts = 3 boxes of doughnuts leftover. They are therefore giving away 3 boxes of doughnuts * 10 doughnuts per box = 30 doughnuts. The answer is 30.
Question: James pays $1000 for advertising. It brought 100 customers to his site and 80% of those bought something at the store that cost $25. How much profit does he gain from the ad?
