Question: George is about to celebrate his 25th birthday. Since his 15th birthday, he's been given a special $1 bill from his parents. They told him that on his 25th birthday, for every bill he still has, they will give him $1.5 in exchange. He spent 20% of his special bills. How much will he receive from his parents when he exchanges them?
Answer: He received 10 special bills because 25 - 15 = 10. He has 80% of them left because 100 - 20 = 80. He has 8 left because 10 x .8 = 8. His parents will give her $12 for them because 8 x 1.5 = 12. The answer is 12.
[Question]Karen is planning writing assignments for her fifth grade class. She knows each short-answer question takes 3 minutes to answer, each paragraph takes 15 minutes to write, and each essay takes an hour to write. If Karen assigns 2 essays and 5 paragraphs, how many short-answer questions should she assign if she wants to assign 4 hours of homework total?
[Answer]First figure out how many minutes 4 hours is: 4 hours * 60 minutes / hour = 240 minutes. Then figure out how long the two essays will take by multiplying the time per essay by the number of essays: 2 essays * 1 hour / essay * 60 minutes / hour = 120 minutes. Use the same method to find the total time spent writing paragraphs: 15 minutes / paragraph * 5 paragraphs = 75 minutes. Now subtract the time spent on essays and paragraphs from the total time to find the time spent on all the short answer questions: 240 minutes - 120 minutes - 75 minutes = 45 minutes. Finally, divide the total time spent on short - answer questions by the time per question to find the number of questions: 45 minutes / 3 minutes / question = 15 questions. The answer is 15.
Q: Before work, Hayden spends 5 minutes ironing his button-up shirt and 3 minutes ironing his pants. He does this 5 days a week. How many minutes does he iron over 4 weeks?
A: He spends 5 minutes ironing his shirt and 3 minutes ironing his pants so that's 5 + 3 = 8 minutes. He does this every day for 5 days so that's 5 * 8 = 40 minutes. After 4 weeks, Hayden has spent 4 * 40 = 160 minutes ironing his clothes. The answer is 160.
Question: Gentry assembled a new 24 foot round pool in her backyard. To fill the pool with water, she used four hoses. Two of the hoses each deliver water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, how many hours will it take to fill the pool?
Answer: Each of the two hoses delivers water at a rate of 2 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 2 = 4 gallons of water per minute. The other two hoses each deliver water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute, for a combined total of 2 * 3 = 6 gallons of water per minute. Thus, all four hoses deliver a combined total of 4 + 6 = 10 gallons of water per minute. With a volume of 15,000 gallons, it would take 15,000 / 10 = 1500 minutes to fill the pool. Converting to hours, it will take 1500 / 60 = 25 hours to fill the pool. The answer is 25.
Q: A bag of dozen apples costs $14 and Brian has already spent $10 on kiwis and half that much on bananas. What's the maximum number of apples Brian can buy if he left his house with only $50 and needs to pay the $3.50 subway fare each way?
A:
Brian requires a total of $3.50 + $3.50 = $7 to pay for the round trip subway fare. We also know he has spent half (1 / 2) the amount he spent on kiwis on bananas, so he'll spend (1 / 2) * $10 = $5 on bananas. So far in total he has spent $7 for his subway fare + $5 on bananas + $10 on kiwis = $7 + $5 + $10 = $22. If he left his house with only $50, then all he will have left for apples would be $50 - $22 = $28. If a bag of apples costs $14, then Brian would only be able to buy a maximum of $28 / $14 = 2 bags of apples. If each bag of apples has a dozen (12) apples, then (2) two bags will have 12 * 2 = 24 apples. The answer is 24.
