[Question]The owner of a Turkish restaurant wanted to prepare traditional dishes for an upcoming celebration. She ordered ground beef, in four-pound packages, from three different butchers. The following morning, the first butcher delivered 10 packages. A couple of hours later, 7 packages arrived from the second butcher. Finally, the third butcher's delivery arrived at dusk. If all the ground beef delivered by the three butchers weighed 100 pounds, how many packages did the third butcher deliver?
[Answer]Since each package weighed 4 pounds, the first butcher delivered 10 * 4 = 40 pounds. The second butcher's delivery was 7 * 4 = 28 pounds. The first two butchers therefore delivered 40 + 28 = 68 pounds. Subtracting that weight from the total weight of ground beef gives 100 - 68 = 32 pounds. It therefore means the third butcher delivered 32 / 4 = 8 packages. The answer is 8.
Q: John gets lost on his way home. His normal trip is 150 miles and would take him 3 hours. He ends up driving 50 miles out of the way and has to get back on track. How long did the trip take if he kept the same speed?
A: His speed is 150 / 3 = 50 mph. He was detoured 50 * 2 = 100 miles. So that adds 100 / 50 = 2 hours. So the total trip was 3 + 2 = 5 hours. The answer is 5.
Question: It takes Dawn 2 hours to paint 1 watercolor painting. She was recently commissioned to paint a series of 12 paintings. Dawn will earn $3,600.00 for these 12 paintings. How much money does Dawn make per hour?
Answer: It takes her 2 hours to paint 1 picture and she needs to paint 12 pictures so it will take 2 * 12 = 24 hours. Dawn will make $3,6000.00 for 24 hours of work which means she makes 3600 / 24 = $150.00 per hour of work. The answer is 150.
[Question]It is recommended that men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugar per day. Mark took a soft drink in the afternoon that contained 2500 calories, 5% of which was from added sugar. Then he bought some bars of candy which had 25 calories of added sugar each. If he eventually exceeded the recommended intake of added sugar by 100%, how many bars of candy did he take?
[Answer]He consumed 2500 calories, 5% of which is added sugar to give 2500 * (5 / 100) = 125 calories of added sugar. He exceeded the recommended intake of 150 calories by 100% for a total consumption of 150 + (150(100 / 100)) = $300. This means he took in 300 - 125 = 175 calories from candy alone. Each candy had 25 calories so 175 calories which means he consumed 175 / 25 = 7 bars?. The answer is 7.
Q: Natalia is riding a bicycle for the cycling competition. On Monday she rode 40 kilometers and on Tuesday 50 kilometers. On Wednesday she rode 50% fewer kilometers than the day before. On Thursday she rode as many as the sum of the kilometers from Monday and Wednesday. How many kilometers did Natalie ride in total?
A: On Wednesday she covered half of the distance from Tuesday, so 50 / 2 = 25 kilometers. On Thursday she rode 40 + 25 = 65 kilometers. In total, Natalia rode 40 + 50 + 25 + 65 = 180 kilometers. The answer is 180.
Question: Mary bought 5 boxes of drinks at $6 each box and 10 boxes of pizzas at $14 each box for her pizza party. She paid $200 for all the items. How much change did she get back?
Answer:
Mary spent 5 x $6 = $30 on drinks. She spent 10 x $14 = $140 on pizzas. She spent a total amount of $30 + $140 = $170. Therefore, Mary got a change of $200 - $170 = $30 after paying all the items for her pizza party. The answer is 30.
