[Question]James buys a weight vest for $250. He then buys 200 pounds of weight plates for $1.2 per pound. A 200-pound weight vest would cost $700 but there is a $100 discount. How much does he save with his vest?
[Answer]The weight plates cost 200 * 1.2 = $240. So his vest cost 250 + 240 = $490. He could get the other vest for 700 - 100 = $600. So he saved 600 - 490 = $110. The answer is 110.
Q: There were 63 Easter eggs in the yard. Hannah found twice as many as Helen. How many Easter eggs did Hannah find?
A: Hannah found twice as many as Helen, so there are 2 + 1 = 3 units of eggs. There were 63 Easter eggs total and there are 3 units of eggs so 63 / 3 = 21 easter eggs per unit. So if Helen found 21 eggs and Hannah found twice as many, then Hannah found 2 * 21 = 42 Easter eggs. The answer is 42.
Question: Mrs. Fredrickson has 80 chickens where 1/4 are roosters and the rest are hens. Only three-fourths of those hens lay eggs. How many chickens does Mr. Fredrickson have that do not lay eggs?
Answer: Mrs. Fredrickson has 80 x 1 / 4 = 20 roosters. So he has 80 - 20 = 60 hens. Only 60 x 3 / 4 = 45 of the hens lay eggs. Thus, 60 - 45 = 15 hens do not lay eggs. Therefore, Mr. Fredrickson has a total of 15 hens + 20 roosters = 35 chickens that do not lay eggs. The answer is 35.
[Question]Johnny spent 3 hours working on a job that paid $7 per hour, 2 hours working on a job that paid $10 an hour, and 4 hours working on a job that paid $12 an hour. Assuming he repeats this process 5 days in a row, how much does Johnny make?
[Answer]First, we need to determine how much Johnny makes in one day. To start, we perform 3 * 7 = 21 dollars for the first job. Second, we perform 2 * 10 = 20 dollars for the second job. Third, we perform 4 * 12 = 48 dollars for the third job. Altogether, Johnny makes 21 + 20 + 48 = 89 dollars in a day. We multiply this amount by the 5 days, performing 5 * 89 = 445 dollars over 5 days. The answer is 445.
Q: Perry wants to buy a new modern bedroom set for $2000. He received $200.00 in gift cards over the holidays that he can use toward the set. The store is currently offering the entire set at 15% off. If he signs up for the store credit card and uses it to buy the set, he will save an additional 10% off on the discounted set. What is the final price of the set?
A: The bedroom set is $2000 and it's currently 15% off so 2000 * .15 = $300.00 off. So the new price of the set is 2000 - 300 = $1,700.00. He signs up for the credit card so that's 10% off so .10 * 1700 = $170.00. Now the set is 1700 - 170 = $1,530.00. He has a $200.00 gift card which brings the price to 1530 - 200 = $1,330.00. The answer is 1330.
