Q: Mr Castiel prepared 600 boar sausages on the weekend. He ate 2/5 of them on Monday, half of the remaining on Tuesday and saved the rest for Friday. If he ate 3/4 of the remaining boar sausages on Friday, how many sausages are left?
A: On Monday, Mr Castiel ate 2 / 5 * 600 = 240 sausages. The remaining number of sausages after he ate 240 on Monday is 600 - 240 = 360. On Tuesday, he ate half of the remaining sausages, a total of 360 / 2 = 180. The remaining number of sausages that he saved for Friday after eating 180 on Tuesday is 360 - 180 = 180. On Friday, Mr Castiel ate 3 / 4 * 180 = 135 of the sausages he had kept. The remaining number of sausages after he ate 135 on Friday is 180 - 135 = 45. The answer is 45.
Question: Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has in her son's savings account. Ariella's account earns her simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum. If Daniella has $400, how much money will Arialla have after two years?
Answer: If Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has, then she has $400 + $200 = $600. If she earns an interest of 10% in the first year, her savings account increases by 10 / 100 * $600 = $60. In the second year, she earns the same amount of interest, which $60 + $60 = $120. The total amount of money in Ariella's account after two years is $600 + $120 = $720. The answer is 720.
[Question]Mike buys 6 rose bushes at 75 dollars each, 2 of them are for his friend and the rest are for him. He also buys 2 tiger tooth aloes for 100 dollars each. How much money did he spend on plants for himself?
[Answer]He bought 6 - 2 = 4 rose bushes for himself. The rose bushes for himself cost 4 * $75 = $300. He also spent 2 * $100 = $200 on aloes. He spent a total of $200 + $300 = $500. The answer is 500.
Q: Jean has three times as much money as Jane. They have a combined total of $76. How much money does Jean have?
A: Let's assume the total amount of money that Jane has is m. Since Jean has 3 times as much money as Jane, he has 3 * m = 3m. Combined, Jean and Jane have a total of m + 3m = $76. This evaluates to 4m = $76. The total amount of money that Jane has, represented by m, is m = $76 / 4. Jane has m = $19. Since Jean has three times as much money as Jane, Jean has 3 * $19 = $57. The answer is 57.
Question: Alfred likes to save $1,000.00 over 12 months for his Christmas shopping. He has $100.00 left over from last year's holiday to put towards this year's goal. How much money does Alfred now need to save each month in order to reach his goal in 12 months?
Answer: He wants to save $1,000.00 and he has $100.00 left over so he still needs to save 1000 - 100 = $900.00. He wants to save $900.00 over 12 months so that means he needs to save 900 / 12 = $75.00 per month. The answer is 75.
Q: Jenny and Mark are throwing bottle caps. Jenny's bottlecap flies 18 feet straight, then bounces off a street light and flies another 1/3 of the distance it already went. Mark's bottle cap flies 15 feet forward, then bounces off a window and flies twice as far as it already did. How much further did Mark's bottle cap go than Jenny's?
A:
First find 1 / 3 of the distance Jenny's bottlecap went straight: 18 feet / 3 = 6 feet. Then add that to the distance it flew straight to find the total distance it traveled: 6 feet + 18 feet = 24 feet. Then find twice the distance Mark's bottlecap went straight: 15 feet * 2 = 30 feet. Then add that distance to the distance it flew straight to find the total distance it traveled: 30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet. Then subtract the distance Jenny's bottlecap traveled from the distance Mark's traveled to find the difference: 45 feet - 24 feet = 21 feet. The answer is 21.
