Question: Vincent's bookstore is divided into different kinds of books. His top-selling books are fantasy books. He also sells literature books which cost half of the price of a fantasy book. If his fantasy books cost $4 each, and he sold five fantasy books and eight literature books per day, how much money will he earn after five days?
Answer: Vincent earns $4 x 5 = $20 for selling 5 fantasy books per day. The price of the literature book is $4 / 2 = $2 each. He earns $2 x 8 = $16 per day for selling 8 literature books. So the total money he earns per day is $16 + $20 = $36. Therefore, he will earn $36 x 5 = $180 after 5 days. The answer is 180.
[Question]Mike spent 37 dollars on notebooks. He bought a total of 12 notebooks. He bought 3 red notebooks at 4 dollars each, 2 green notebooks at 2 dollars each, and the rest were blue notebooks. How much does each blue notebook cost?
[Answer]He bought 12 - 3 - 2 = 7 blue notebooks. He paid 3 * $4 = $12 for red notebooks. He paid 2 * $2 = $4 for green notebooks. He spent $37 - $12 - $4 = $21 on blue notebooks. Each blue notebook costs $21 / 7 = $3. The answer is 3.
Q: One logger can cut down 6 trees per day. The forest is a rectangle measuring 4 miles by 6 miles, and each square mile has 600 trees. If there are 30 days in each month, how many months will it take 8 loggers to cut down all the trees?
A: First find the total area of the forest: 4 miles * 6 miles = 24 square miles. Then find the total number of trees in that area: 600 trees / square mile * 24 square miles = 14400 trees. Then find the number of trees all the loggers can cut down in one day: 8 loggers * 6 trees / logger = 48 trees. Then divide the total number of trees by the number cut down per day to find the number of days it takes to clear the forest: 14400 trees / 48 trees / day = 300 days. Then divide the time in days by the number of days per month to find the time in months: 300 days / 30 days / month = 10 months. The answer is 10.
Question: Jamestown has 20 theme parks. If Venice has 25 more theme parks than Jamestown, and Marina Del Ray has 50 more theme parks than Jamestown, calculate the number of theme parks present in the three towns.
Answer: Since Venice has 25 more theme parks than Jamestown, there are 20 + 25 = 45 theme parks in Venice. Together, Venice and Jamestown have 45 + 20 = 65 theme parks. With 50 more theme parks than Jamestown, Marina Del Ray has 50 + 20 = 70 theme parks. The total number of theme parks in the three towns is 70 + 65 = 135. The answer is 135.
[Question]Mr. Rocky went to the market to sell his handmade crafts on a particular week. He was selling jewelry at $30 each and paintings at $100 each. However, he realized the income from the sales wasn't worth the labor and materials he had used, so he decided to increase the price of jewelry by $10 each and the cost of each painting by 20%. Calculate the total price a buyer who takes two pieces of jewelry and five paintings would pay
[Answer]After increasing the price of a piece of jewelry, the price increased from $30 to $30 + $10 = $40 each. He also increased the price of each painting by 20 / 100 * 100 = $20. The total price for buying one painting at the new price is $100 + $20 = $120. If a buyer purchases two pieces of jewelry, the total cost becomes 2 * $40 = $80. When the buyer also buys 5 paintings, he pays a total of $120 * 5 = $600. 2 pieces of jewelry and 5 paintings cost $600 + $80 = $680 at the new prices. The answer is 680.
