Question: On March 1st the sun sets at 6 PM. Every day after the sun sets 1.2 minutes later. It is 6:10 PM and 40 days after March 1st. How many minutes until the sun sets?
Answer: The sun will set 40 * 1.2 = 48 minutes later than it does on March 1st. That means the sun will set at 6:00 + 48 = 6:48 PM. So that means the time until sunset is 6:48 - 6:10 = 38 minutes. The answer is 38.
[Question]In a stationery store, there are three kinds of pencils. A pencil with an eraser, which costs $0.8 each, a regular pencil for $0.5 each, and a short pencil for $0.4 each. This store was able to sell 200 pencils with an eraser, 40 regular pencils, and 35 short pencils. How much money did the store make from these sales?
[Answer]For pencils with erasers, the store received a total of 200 * 0.8 = $160. For regular pencils, the store received 40 * 0.5 = $20. And for short pencils only 35 * 0.4 = $14. In total, the store made 160 + 20 + 14 = $194 from selling these pencils. The answer is 194.
Q: Amy is collecting candy for the car pool. She has 5 chocolate bars, 7 times as many M&Ms as chocolate bars, and 6 times as many marshmallows as M&Ms. Amy then arranges the candies into baskets. If she fills each basket with 10 candies, how many baskets will Amy fill?
A: Amy has 5 * 7 = 35 M&Ms. Amy has 35 * 6 = 210 marshmallows. Amy has 5 + 35 + 210 = 250 candies. She fills 250 / 10 = 25 baskets. The answer is 25.
Question: Three schools organized a science fair competition and invited students from all the schools to develop ideas and present them before a panel of judges selected by all the schools competing in the science fair. There were 50 students from Know It All High School at the competition, 3/5 times as many students from Karen High as Know It All High School, and twice the combined number of students from the first two schools that came were from Novel Corona High School. Calculate the total number of students at the competition?
Answer: If 50 students came from Know It All High School, then Karen High, which had 3 / 5 times as many students as Know It All High School, had 3 / 5 * 50 = 30 students at the fair. The total number of students from Know It All and Karen high schools is 50 + 30 = 80 students. If Novel Corona had twice the combined number of students from Know It All and Karen high schools, then it had 2 * 80 = 160 students at the competition. The total number of students at the competition is 80 + 160 = 240. The answer is 240.
