Question: Gary is restocking the grocery produce section. He adds 60 bundles of asparagus at $3.00 each, 40 boxes of grapes at $2.50 each, and 700 apples at $0.50 each. How much is all the produce he stocked worth?
Answer: First find the total cost of the asparagus: 60 bundles * $3 / bundle = $180. Then find the total cost of the grapes: 40 boxes * $2.50 / bundle = $100. Then find the total cost of the apples: 700 apples * $0.50 / apple = $350. Then add the cost of each type of food to find the total cost of the produce: $180 + $100 + $350 = $630. The answer is 630.
[Question]Javier is having an eating contest with his brother. It's ravioli night and there is meat ravioli, pumpkin ravioli, and cheese ravioli. The meat ravioli weighs 1.5 ounces each. The pumpkin ravioli is 1.25 ounces each. The cheese ravioli is one ounce. Javier eats 5 meat ravioli, 2 pumpkin ravioli, and 4 cheese ravioli. His brother just ate pumpkin ravioli and had 12 of them. What is the total amount of ounces eaten by the winner?
[Answer]Javier ate 7.5 ounces of meat ravioli because 5 x 1.5 = 7.5. He ate 2.5 ounces of pumpkin ravioli because 2 x 1.25 = 2.5. He ate 4 ounces of cheese ravioli because 4 x 1 = 4. Javier ate 14 ounces in total because 7.5 + 2.5 + 4 = 14. His brother ate 15 ounces of pumpkin ravioli because 12 x 1.25 = 15. The winner ate 15 ounces in total because 15 > 14. The answer is 15.
Q: Each member of Greg's softball team needs to buy one uniform made up of a shirt, a pair of pants, and socks. A shirt costs $7.50, a pair of pants cost $15, and socks cost $4.50 each if each team member buys the uniform items on their own. If they buy the items as a group, they are given a discount. A discounted shirt cost $6.75, a discounted pair of pants cost $13.50, and discounted socks cost $3.75. How much would their team of 12 save with the group discount?
A: The cost of a regularly - priced uniform is $7.50 for the shirt + $15 for pants + $4.50 for socks = $27. The cost of a discounted uniform is $6.75 for the shirt + $13.50 for pants + $3.75 for socks = $24. By purchasing the discounted uniform, each team member would save $27 for full price - $24 for discounted = $3. So, for the team of 12, they would save $3 * 12 = $36. The answer is 36.
Question: At Mrs. Dawson's rose garden, there are 10 rows of roses. In each row, there are 20 roses where 1/2 of these roses are red, 3/5 of the remaining are white and the rest are pink. How many roses at Mrs. Dawson's rose garden are pink?
Answer: There are 20 x 1 / 2 = 10 red roses in each row. So there are 20 - 10 = 10 roses that are not red in each row. Out of the 10 remaining roses in each row, 10 x 3 / 5 = 6 roses are white. Thus, there are 10 - 6 = 4 pink roses in each row. Therefore, Mrs. Dawson has 4 pink roses each in 10 rows for a total of 4 x 10 = 40 pink roses in her rose garden. The answer is 40.
[Question]A school bought 20 cartons of pencils at the start of school. Pencils come in cartons of 10 boxes and each box costs $2. The school also bought 10 cartons of markers. A carton has 5 boxes and costs $4. How much did the school spend in all?
[Answer]The school bought 20 x 10 = 200 boxes of pencils. The pencils cost 200 x $2 = $400. The school bought 10 x 5 = 50 boxes of markers. The markers cost 50 x $4 = $200. Thus, the school spent a total of $400 + $200 = $600. The answer is 600.
[Question]Jenna is adding black dots to a bunch of white blouses. Each blouse gets 20 dots, and each dot takes 10 ml of black dye. How many 400-ml bottles of dye does Jenna need to buy to dye 100 blouses?
[Answer]
First find the amount of dye each blouse takes: 20 dots / blouse * 10 ml / dot = 200 ml / blouse. Then multiply the dye used per blouse by the number of blouses to find the total amount of dye used: 200 ml / blouse * 100 blouses = 20000 ml. Then divide the amount of dye needed by the amount of dye per bottle to find the number of bottles needed: 20000 ml / 400 ml / bottle = 50 bottles. The answer is 50.
