Q: At the Boisjoli farm, there is a chicken coop where 270 hens and 3 roosters live. Every morning, around 8 a.m., Ms. Mosel goes to collect the eggs because, every morning, each hen lays one. Then, after 1 hour of collection, she puts all these eggs in boxes of 6. It takes her another 40 minutes. Once all this is done, Ms. Mosel brings all the boxes of eggs to her village. She does it from Monday to Sunday, because chickens don't have a day off. How many boxes does Ms. Mosel fill each week?
A: First calculate the number of eggs laid in 1 week: 270 X 7 = 1890 eggs. Now let's put these eggs in the boxes: 1890 / 6 = 315 boxes. The answer is 315.
Question: While buying DVDs at the store, Maria received a 25% discount. If the discount she received is $40, how much did she pay in total?
Answer: Since 100 percent represent the original price, and she received a 25% discount which is $40, the original price is 100 / 25 * 40 = 160. Maria paid $160 - $40 = $120 after receiving the twenty - five percent discount. The answer is 120.
[Question]Wally buys bears at the park. A bear is priced at $4.00 for the first bear and a discount of 50 cents per bear is given after that. How much does Wally pay for 101 bears?
[Answer]If the price of an additional bear drops by fifty after the first purchase, the price of each additional bear is $4.00 - $0.50 = $3.50. Since Wally bought 101 bears, he was charged fifty cents less on 101 - 1 = 100 bears. The total cost for the 100 bears is 100 * $3.50 = $350. For the 101 bears, Wally paid a total of $350 + $4 = $354. The answer is 354.
Q: John has a raw squat of 600 pounds without sleeves or wraps. Sleeves add 30 pounds to his lift. Wraps add 25% to his squat. How much more pounds does he get out of wraps versus sleeves.
A: Wraps add 600 * .25 = 150 pounds to his lift. So they add 150 - 30 = 120 pounds more than sleeves. The answer is 120.
Question: Jim buys a wedding ring for $10,000. He gets his wife a ring that is twice that much and sells the first one for half its value. How much is he out of pocket?
Answer: The second ring cost 2 * 10000 = $20,000. He sells the first ring for 10,000 / 2 = $5000. So he is out of pocket 10000 - 5000 = $5000. So that means he is out of pocket 20,000 + 5000 = $25,000. The answer is 25000.
