Question: Nick is trying to raise money for a charity. He is selling candy bars for $5. He is also selling chocolate oranges for $10. He wants to raise $1000. He only had 20 chocolate oranges that he sold out. How many candy bars does Nick need to sell to reach his goal?
Answer: Nick has made 20 * $10 = $200 from the chocolate oranges. This means he needs to raise another $1000 - $200 = $800. He needs to sell a total of $800 / $5 = 160 candy bars to reach his goal. The answer is 160.
[Question]Emma can run all-around two arenas in 20 hours. If it takes Fernando twice as long to run his course, what's the total time it takes both of them to run all around the two arenas?
[Answer]If it takes Emma 20 hours to run all around the two arenas, it takes Fernando 2 * 20 = 40 hours to run the same distance. Together, they take a total of 40 + 20 = 60 hours to run all around the arenas. The answer is 60.
Q: Millie, Monica, and Marius are taking subjects for school. Millie takes three more subjects than Marius, who takes 4 subjects more than Monica. If Monica took 10 subjects, how many subjects all take altogether?
A: If Monica took ten subjects, Marius took 10 + 4 = 14 subjects. Marius and Monica have 14 + 10 = 24 subjects which they've taken. Since Millie is taking three more subjects than Marius, she is taking 14 + 3 = 17 subjects. Together, the three have taken 24 + 17 = 41 subjects. The answer is 41.
Question: Claudia offers art classes to kids and charges $10.00 for her one-hour class. If 20 kids attend Saturday's class and half that many attend Sunday's class, how much money does she make?
Answer: Sunday's class is half the size of Saturday's class with 20 kids so Sunday has 20 / 2 = 10 kids. She has 20 kids on Saturday and 10 kids on Sunday for a total of 20 + 10 = 30 kids. She charges $10.00 per kid and teaches 30 kids over the weekend so she makes 10 * 30 = $300.00. The answer is 300.
[Question]A farmer owns a hog that recently gave birth to 6 piglets. If the farmer raises the piglets until they are fully grown, he can sell the fully grown pig for $300. Each piglet must grow for at least 12 months before it is large enough to be sold. It costs the farmer $10 per month to feed each animal until it is sold. If the farmer sells 3 pigs after 12 months, and the remaining 3 pigs after 16 months, how much profit did he earn in total (after deducting the cost of food)?
[Answer]The 3 pigs that are sold after 12 months will cost the farmer 12 * 10 * 3 = $360 in food costs. The 3 pigs that are sold after 16 months will cost the farmer 16 * 10 * 3 = $480 in food costs. Thus, the total food cost to raise the 6 piglets was 360 + 480 = $840. Next, selling the 6 fully grown pigs will earn the farmer 6 * 300 = $1800 in revenue. Therefore, the earn the farmer 1800 - 840 = $960 in profit from these sales. The answer is 960.
[Question]Jenny is planning her catering budget for her wedding. She's going to have 80 guests. 3 times as many guests want steak as chicken. If each steak entree costs $25 and each chicken entree costs $18, how much is the total catering budget?
[Answer]
Let s be the number of guests who want steak and c be the number who want chicken. We know that s + c = 80 and s = 3c. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get 3c + c = 80. Combining like terms, we get 4c = 80. Dividing both sides by 4, we get c = 20. Then multiply the number of guests who want chicken by the cost of each chicken entree: 20 guests * $18 / guest = $360. Then triple the number of guests who want chicken to find the number who want steak: 20 guests * 3 = 60 guests. Then multiply the number of guests who want steak by the cost of each steak entree: 60 guests * $25 / guest = $1500. Then add the cost of the steak and chicken entrees to find the total cost: $1500 + $360 = $1860. The answer is 1860.
