Question: On a construction site, the Laker cement factory provided 500 bags of cement sold to Mr. Zander at $10 per bag. Mr. Zander also received twenty lorries of construction sand, each carrying 10 tons of sand, sold at $40 per ton. How much money did Mr. Zander pay for these construction materials?
Answer: The total cost for the sand is 500 * 10 = $5000. Since each lorry was carrying 10 tons of sand, the twenty lorries carried 20 * 10 = 200 tons. At $40 per ton, Mr. Zander paid 200 * $40 = $8000 for the sand that was delivered to his construction site. Altogether, Mr. Zander paid $8000 + $5000 = $13000 for the delivered construction materials. The answer is 13000.
[Question]Logan's father receives 50 cartons delivery for his milk business, each carton having 20 jars of milk. On a particular week, he received 20 cartons less when the delivery was done, and during offloading, he realized 3 jars in 5 cartons each was damaged, and one carton was totally damaged. How many jars of milk were good for sale that week?
[Answer]When 20 cartons failed to be delivered, the number of cartons reduced to 50 - 20 = 30 cartons. The total number of jars in all the cartons is 30 * 20 = 600. The total number of jars destroyed in the 5 cartons is 3 * 5 = 15 jars. If one carton was also destroyed, the total number of destroyed jars is 20 + 15 = 35 jars. The number of jars good for sale is 600 - 35 = 565 jars. The answer is 565.
Q: 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels will make 4 cups of popcorn. For movie night, Joanie wants 3 cups of popcorn, Mitchell wants 4 cups of popcorn, Miles and Davis said they would split 6 cups of popcorn and Cliff said he would only eat 3 cups. How many tablespoons of popcorn kernels will they need?
A: If Joanie wants 3 cups, Mitchell wants 4 cups, Miles & Davis want 6 cups and Cliff wants 3 cups then they want 3 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 16 cups of popcorn. Every 2 tablespoons makes 4 cups and they want 16 cups so 16 / 4 = 4 groups of 2 tablespoons are needed. Thus they need 4 * 2 = 8 tablespoons in total. The answer is 8.
Question: Emmett does 12 jumping jacks, 8 pushups, and 20 situps. What percentage of his exercises were pushups?
Answer: First find the total number of exercises Emmett does: 12 jumping jacks + 8 pushups + 20 situps = 40 exercises. Then divide the number of pushups by the total number of exercises and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 8 pushups / 40 exercises * 100% = 20%. The answer is 20.
