Question: Mr. Sergio is a fruit grower producing apples, mangoes and oranges. In a particular season, the total produce of apples was twice the total produce of mangoes, and the total produce of oranges was 200 kg more than that of mangoes. If his farm produced 400 kg of mangoes and he sold the fruits at $50 per kg, calculate the total amount of money he got in that season.
Answer: If the total production of mangoes was 400, then orange production was 400 + 200 = 600 kg of oranges. Since apple production was twice the total production of mangoes, Mr. Sergio had 2 * 400 = 800 kg of apples. The total quantity of fruits produced at Mr. Sergio's farm is 800 kg of apples + 600 kg of oranges + 400 kg of mangoes = 1800 kg of fruits. If Mr. Sergio sold the fruits at $50 per kg, his total income from the sales is 1800 * $50 = $90000. The answer is 90000.
[Question]A citrus grove has laid out their plans for their sixteen orchards for the growing season. Lemons, their most popular citrus fruit, will take up eight orchards. Oranges are their second most popular fruit and will occupy half as many orchards as the lemons. Limes and grapefruits will split the remaining orchards. How many citrus orchards will be growing grapefruits?
[Answer]Oranges will occupy 8 / 2 = 4 orchards. There will be 16 - 8 - 4 = 4 orchards remaining for limes and grapefruits. Thus, 4 / 2 = 2 orchards will be growing grapefruits. The answer is 2.
Q: If eight liters is 20% the capacity of a container filled with water, calculate the total capacity of 40 such containers filled with water.
A: If eight liters is 20% the capacity of a container filled with water, when the container is full, which is 100%, the container will contain 100% / 20% * 8 liters = 40 liters. The total capacity of 40 such containers filled with water is 40 * 40 = 1600 liters. The answer is 1600.
Question: Daryl is loading crates at a warehouse and wants to make sure that they are not overloaded. Each crate can weigh up to 20kg and he has 15 crates he can fill. He has 4 bags of nails to load, each of which weighs 5kg; he has 12 bags of hammers, each of which weighs 5 kg; he also has 10 bags of wooden planks, each of which weighs 30kg and can be sub-divided. He realizes that he has too much to load and will have to leave some items out of the crates to meet the weight limit. In kg, how much is Daryl going to have to leave out of the crates?
Answer: Daryl can load up to 15 crates * 20kg per crate = 300kg. The nails weigh a total of 4 bags of nails * 5kg per bag of nails = 20kg. The hammers weigh a total of 12 bags of hammers * 5kg per bag of hammers = 60kg. The wooden planks weigh a total of 10 bags of wooden planks * 30kg per bag of wooden planks = 300kg. So in total, Daryl's items weigh a total of 20kg nails + 60kg hammers + 300kg wooden planks = 380kg. He will therefore need to leave out 380kg in items 300kg weight limit = 80kg. The answer is 80.
[Question]Will's breakfast supplied him 900 calories of energy. Then he decided to jog for half an hour, which used up 10 calories of energy per minute. What is Will's net calorie intake after jogging?
[Answer]Will jogged for 60 / 2 = 30 minutes. He was able to use up 10 x 30 = 300 calories for jogging. The net calorie intake of Will after jogging is 900 - 300 = 600. The answer is 600.
[Question]Jim spends 8 hours scuba diving. In that time he finds a treasure chest with 100 gold coins in it. He also finds 2 smaller bags that have half as much gold each. How much gold does he find per hour?
[Answer]
The smaller bags each have 100 / 2 = 50 gold coins each. So in total, they have 50 * 2 = 100 coins. So he found 100 + 100 = 200 coins. So he finds 200 / 8 = 25 coins an hour. The answer is 25.
