[Question]Candice buys all the bread she and her family needs for the week from a local bakery. She needs 2 loaves of white bread for sandwiches that cost $3.50 each. She also needs a baguette that costs $1.50 and 2 loaves of sourdough bread that cost $4.50 each. She also treats herself to a $2.00 almond croissant each visit. How much does Candice spend at the bakery over 4 weeks?
[Answer]2 loaves of white bread are $3.50 each so they cost 2 * 3.50 = $7.00. 2 loaves of sourdough bread are $4.50 each so they cost 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. The white bread comes to $7.00, the sourdough is $9.00 and she gets a baguette for $1.50 and a croissant for $2.00 so she spends 7 + 9 + 1 + 2 = $19.50 per week. If she buys this same order of $19.50 every week for 4 weeks then she spends 19.50 * 4 = $78.00 over 4 weeks. The answer is 78.
Q: A TV show costs $100,000 per episode for the first season and twice that much for every other season. The first season had 12 episodes, and every season after that had 50% more episodes except the last season, which had 24 episodes. The show had 5 seasons. How much did it cost to produce all the episodes?
A: The first season cost 12 * 100,000 = $1,200,000. Season 2 - 4 had 12 * .5 = 6 more episodes per season than the first. So they each had 12 + 6 = 18 episodes. That means there were 18 * 3 + 24 = 78 episodes in the last 4 seasons. So those episodes cost 2 * 100,000 = $200,000. For a total cost of 200,000 * 78 = $15,600,000. So the total cost was 15,600,000 + 1,200,000 = $16,800,000. The answer is 16800000.
Question: A class is 40% boys. The rest are girls. Every boy in class gets an 80% on the math test. Every girl gets a 90%. What is the class average on the test?
Answer: The class is 60% girls because 100 - 40 = 60. The class average is 86% because .4(80) + .6(90) = 86. The answer is 86.
