Q: Adam has just bought some new books so he has decided to clean up his bookcase. After he adds his new books to his bookshelf he realizes that he has bought enough books to finish completely filling his bookcase with 2 books left over. Before his shopping trip, Adam had 56 books in his bookcase. If his bookcase has 4 shelves and averages 20 books per shelf, how many books did Adam buy on his shopping trip?
A: Adam's bookshelf has 4 shelves that fit 20 books each, which is 4 * 20 = 80 books in total to fill the bookshelf. Adam ended the day with a full bookcase of 80 books in the bookcase and 2 books left over, 80 + 2 = 82 books total. If Adam started the day with 56 books and ended the day with 82 books then Adam bought 82 - 56 = 26 books bought on his shopping trip. The answer is 26.
Question: James's favorite basketball player got paid based on how many points he averaged each week. He gets $10,000 if he averages 30 or more points a game and $8,000 if he averages under 30 points a game. For his last week, in the first game he scored 30 points and in the second game he scored 28 points. In the third game he scored 32 points. In the fourth game he scored 34 points and in the fifth game he scored 26 points. How much does he get paid for the week?
Answer:
His favorite player scored 150 total points that week because 30 plus 28 plus 32 plus 34 plus 26 equals 150. He averaged 30 points a game because 150 divided by 5 equals 30. He gets paid $10,000 because that's how much he gets if he averages 30 or more points that week. The answer is 10000.
