Question: A flower shop sells bouquets of roses, which each contain 12 roses, and bouquets of daisies, which each contain an equal amount of daisies. The flower shop sells 20 bouquets today. 10 of these were rose bouquets and the remaining 10 bouquets were daisy bouquets. If the flower shop has sold 190 flowers in total today, how many daisies are in each bouquet of daisies?
Answer: The flower shop sold 10 bouquets * 12 roses / bouquets = 120 roses. This means they sold a total of 190 flowers 120 roses = 70 daisies. Therefore, each daisy bouquet contains 70 daisies / 10 bouquets = 7 daisies per bouquet. The answer is 7.
[Question]A class has 60 students. The number of students who bring their lunch is thrice the number of those who eat in the school cafeteria. The rest of the students don't eat lunch. If 10 students eat in the school cafeteria, how many don't eat lunch?
[Answer]Multiplying the number of students eating at the cafeteria by three means that 3 * 10 = 30 students bring lunch. The total number of students that eat lunch is 10 + 30 = 40 students. Since the class has 60 students, those who don't eat lunch are 60 - 40 = 20 students. The answer is 20.
Q: Mark is buying asphalt to pave a new section of road. The road will be 2000 feet long and 20 feet wide. Each truckload of asphalt will cover 800 square feet of road. If each truckload costs $75, and there's a 20% sales tax, how much will Mark need to pay for asphalt?
A: First, calculate how many square feet of road Mark needs to cover by multiplying the length by the width: 2000 feet * 20 feet = 40,000 sq ft. Then divide the square footage of road by the number of square feet each truckload will cover: 40,000 sq ft / 800 sq ft / truckload = 50 truckloads. Now multiply the number of truckloads by the cost per truckload: $75 / truckload * 50 truckloads = $3750. Now calculate the sales tax by multiplying $3750 by 20%: $3750 * .2 = $750. Now add the sales tax to the cost of the asphalt to find the total: $750 + $3750 = $4500. The answer is 4500.
Question: 5 years ago, a mother was twice as old as her daughter. If the mother is 41 years old now, how old will the daughter be in 3 years?
Answer: The mother is 41 years old now, so 5 years ago she was 41 - 5 = 36 years old. At that time the daughter's age was half hers so the daughter was 36 / 2 = 18 years old. Now (5 years after that time) the daughter is 18 + 5 = 23 years old. In 3 years, the daughter will be 23 + 3 = 26 years old. The answer is 26.
[Question]Rick took off on a road trip for the summer. He traveled to the first destination on his trip, and then from there, he traveled twice the distance to this second destination. The third point on his trip was 40 miles away, which was half the distance he traveled from the beginning to his first destination. The final destination took twice the amount of driving of all the other legs put together. How many miles in total did he travel across all the legs of the trip?
[Answer]If the third leg of Rick's trip was half the distance of the first leg, was 40 miles, this means the first leg was 40 * 2 = 80 miles long. If the second leg of the trip was twice the distance of the first leg, that means it was 80 * 2 = 160 miles long. If the fourth leg was equal in distance to the total amount traveled across the first 3 legs, that means it was equal to 40 + 80 + 160 = 280 miles long. This means in total Rick traveled 280 + 280 = 560 miles. The answer is 560.
[Question]Ben has four boxes with ten basketball cards in each box. His mother gave him five boxes with eight baseball cards. If he gives 58 cards to his classmates, how many cards does he has left?
[Answer]
Ben has 4 x 10 = 40 basketball cards. His mother gave him 5 x 8 = 40 baseball cards. Thus, Ben has 40 + 40 = 80 cards in all. Therefore, Ben has 80 - 58 = 22 cards left. The answer is 22.
