Q: 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?
A: 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.
Question: Haily wants to go to the salon and do her nails, cut her hair and do a facial cleaning. She doesn't want to spend much, so she called 3 salons to get their prices: Gustran Salon, Barbara's Shop, and The Fancy Salon. At Gustran Salon, the haircut is $45, the facial cleaning is $22 and the nails are $30. At Barbara's shop, the nails are $40, the haircut is $30 and the facial cleaning is $28.

Answer: So first, we should add the prices of all salons. At Gustran Salon, the total price is: $45 + $22 + $30 = $97. The total price at Barbara's shop is: $40 + $30 + $28 = $98. The total price at The Fancy Salon is: $30 + $34 + $20 = $84. At Gustran salon she would spend $97, at Barbara's Shop she would spend $98, and at The Fancy Salon she would spend $84, so she would spend $84 at the cheapest salon. The answer is 84.
Q: In a hotdog eating competition, the first competitor can eat 10 hot dogs per minute. The second competitor can eat 3 times more than the first competitor, while the third competitor can eat twice as much as the second competitor. How many hotdogs can the third competitor eat after 5 minutes?
