Q: Jimmy is at the candy store and buys 2 candy bars for $.75 each. He then buys 4 lollipops that cost $.25 each. He spent 1/6 of the money he earned from shoveling snow. If he charges $1.5 per driveway, how many driveways did he shovel?
A: Jimmy spent $1.5 on candy bars because 2 x .75 = 1.5. He spent $1 on lollipops because 4 x .25 = 1. He spent $2.5 in total because 1.5 + 1 = 2.5. He earned $15 shoveling driveways because 2.5 / (1 / 6) = 15. He shoveled 10 driveways because 15 / 1.5 = 10. The answer is 10.
Question: Linda is painting her bedroom. Her bedroom has 4 walls, with the room being 20 feet wide by 20 feet long by 8 feet tall. One wall has a 3-foot by 7-foot doorway. A second wall has a 6-foot by 4-foot window. A third wall has a 5-foot by 7-foot doorway to a walk-in-closet. And the fourth wall is completely solid. What is the total area of wall space that Linda will have to paint?
Answer: The solid wall is 8 ft. * 20 ft. = 160 sq. ft. The doorway is 3 ft. * 7 ft. = 21 sq. ft. The window is 6 ft. * 4 ft. = 24 sq. ft. The closet door is 5 ft. * 7 ft. = 35 sq. ft. The total area of the doors and windows is 21 sq. ft + 24 sq. ft. + 35 sq. ft. = 80 sq. ft. The solid wall is 160 sq. ft., so before the areas of the doors and window are taken into account, the total wall area is 4 * 160 sq. ft. = 640 sq. ft. Taking into account the doors and window, the total wall area Linda will have to paint is 640 sq. ft. - 80 sq. ft. = 560 sq. ft. The answer is 560.
[Question]Danielle wants to make her own popsicles. She finds out she needs popsicle sticks, molds, and juice. She has $10 for supplies. She buys one set of molds for $3 and a pack of 100 popsicle sticks for $1. Each bottle of juice makes 20 popsicles and costs $2. How many popsicle sticks will she be left with if she makes as many as she can?
[Answer]She has $6 left after buying initial supplies because 10 - 3 - 1 = 6. She can buy 3 bottles of juice because 6 / 2 = 3. She can make 60 popsicles because 20 x 3 = 60. She has 40 sticks left because 100 - 6 60 = 40. The answer is 40.
