Q: Mr. Johnson has a prescription with enough pills for 30 days. After four-fifths of the days, he has 12 pills left. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day if he takes the same dose daily?
A: Mr. Johnson has been taking the pills for 30 * 4 / 5 = 24 days. He has 30 - 24 = 6 days left to finish the pills. Thus, Mr. Johnson is supposed to take 12 / 6 = 2 pills a day. The answer is 2.
Question: A club with 30 members ordered fruit juices. Two-fifths of them ordered lemon juice. One-third of the remaining members ordered mango juice, and the rest ordered orange juice. How many members ordered orange juice?
Answer: 30 x 2 / 5 = 12 members ordered lemon juice. So, 30 - 12 = 18 members did not order lemon juice. Since 1 / 3 of the remaining ordered mango juice, then 18 x 2 / 3 = 12 members ordered mango juice. Therefore, 18 - 12 = 6 members ordered orange juice. The answer is 6.
[Question]In a national park, the number of redwoods is 20% more than the number of pines. If there are 600 pines in the national park, calculate the total number of pines and redwoods that are there.
[Answer]If there are 600 pines, there are 20 / 100 * 600 = 120 more redwoods than pine trees in the national park. In total, there are 120 + 600 = 720 redwoods in the national park. Altogether, there are 720 + 600 = 1320 pines and redwoods in the national park. The answer is 1320.
Q: In 5 years, Raven will be 4 times as old as Phoebe. If Phoebe is currently 10 years old, how old is Raven?
A: In five years, Phoebe will be 10 + 5 = 15 years old. If Raven is four times as old as Phoebe in fifteen years, he will be 4 * 15 = 60 years old in 5 years. Currently, Raven is 60 - 5 = 55 years old. The answer is 55.
Question: Faith is getting paid $13.50 per hour. She normally works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus 2 hours of overtime per day. How much will she earn by the end of the week?
Answer: Faith earns $13.50 x 8 = $108 per day. Since she works 5 days a week, she earns 5 x $108 = $540 per week. She gets an additional 2 x $13.50 = $27 per day for the overtime pay. She earns a total of $27 x 5 = $135 additional pay for her weekly overtime. Therefore, Faith earns $540 + $135 = $675 per week. The answer is 675.
Q: Darryl sells melons on the side of the road. He sells cantaloupes for $2 each and honeydews for $3. He started the day with 30 cantaloupes and 27 honeydews. He accidentally dropped a couple of cantaloupes and three of the honeydews turned out to be rotten. At the end of the day he had 8 cantaloupes and 9 honeydews left. How much money did he make?
A:
He dropped two cantaloupes and had 8 left over at the end of the day, so he sold 30 - 2 - 8 = 20 cantaloupes. Three honeydews were rotten, and he had 9 left at the end of the day, so he sold 27 - 3 - 9 = 15 honeydews. He sold 20 cantaloupes * $2 / cantaloupe = $40 in cantaloupes. He also sold 15 honeydews * $3 / honeydew = $45 in honeydews. Altogether he made $40 + $45 = $85. The answer is 85.
