[Question]James started a food fight in his school's cafeteria, and the school administration is making him work off the cost of all the food he wasted at minimum wage ($8). James has to pay for 20 wasted pounds of meat at $5/pound, 15 wasted pounds of fruits and vegetables at $4/pound, 60 wasted pounds of bread products at $1.50/pound, and 10 hours of time-and-a-half pay for the janitorial staff, who normally make $10/hour. How many hours will James have to work to pay for everything?
[Answer]First find the total cost of the wasted meat: $5 / pound * 20 pounds = $100. Then find the total cost of the wasted vegetables: $4 / pound * 15 pounds = $60. Then find the total cost of the wasted bread products: $1.50 / pound * 60 pounds = $90. Then find the time - and - a - half rate for the janitors: $10 / hour * 1.5 = $15 / hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours to find the total janitorial cost: $15 / hour * 10 hours = $150. Then add up all the costs to find the total cost of everything: $100 + $60 + $90 + $150 = $400. Then divide the total James owes by his hourly wage to find how many hours he needs to work: $400 / $8 / hour = 50 hours. The answer is 50.
Q: Brooke is milking cows and then selling the milk at the market for $3 a gallon. Whatever milk doesn't sell, she turns into butter. One gallon of milk equals 2 sticks of butter. She then sells the butter for $1.5 a stick. She has 12 cows. Each cow produces 4 gallons of milk. She has 6 customers, each of whom wants 6 gallons of milk. How much money does she earn if she sells all her milk and butter?
A: A gallon of milk makes $3 worth of butter because 2 x 1.5 = 3. A gallon of milk sells for the same amount as milk or butter because 3 = 3. She gets 48 gallons of milk because 4 x 12 = 48. She earns $144 selling the milk because 48 x $3 = 144. The answer is 144.
Question: Paul, Amoura, and Ingrid were to go to a friend's party planned to start at 8:00 a.m. Paul arrived at 8:25. Amoura arrived 30 minutes later than Paul, and Ingrid was three times later than Amoura. How late, in minutes, was Ingrid to the party?
Answer: If the party was planned to start at 8:00 am, Paul was 8:25 - 8:00 = 25 minutes late. If Paul was 25 minutes late, Amoura was 25 + 30 = 55 minutes late. If Ingrid was three times late than Amoura was, she was 3 * 55 = 165 minutes late. The answer is 165.
[Question]Helga went shopping for a new pair of shoes. At the first store, she tried on 7 pairs of shoes. At the second store, she tried on 2 more pairs than at the first store. At the third store, she did not try on any shoes, but she did buy a scarf. But at the fourth store, she tried on twice as many pairs of shoes as she did at all three other stores combined, before finally choosing a pair to buy. What is the total number of pairs of shoes Helga tried on before buying her new shoes?
[Answer]At the second store, she tried on 7 + 2 = 9 pairs of shoes. Therefore, at the first three stores, she tried on 7 + 9 + 0 = 16 pairs of shoes. At the fourth store, she tried on 16 * 2 = 32 pairs of shoes. Thus, in total, she tried on 16 + 32 = 48 pairs of shoes. The answer is 48.
