Q: Jay went to watch a singer in a one hour 20 minutes concert. If there was a 10-minute intermission, and all the songs were 5 minutes except for one song that lasted 10 minutes, how many songs did she sing?
A: The time the singer had for singing was 80 - 10 = 70 minutes. The time the singer had for singing 5 - minute songs was 70 - 10 = 60 minutes. The number of 5 - minute songs was 60 / 5 = 12 songs. The total number of songs sung is 12 + 1 = 13 songs. The answer is 13.
Question: Frank is practicing a new dance move. It starts with him take 5 steps back, and then 10 steps forward, and then 2 steps back, and then double that amount forward. How many steps forward is Frank from his original starting point?
Answer: Frank stars by taking 10 steps forward from a position 5 steps behind where he started, so he's 10 - 5 = 5 steps forward in total. Frank then takes 2 steps back, meaning he's now 5 - 2 = 3 steps forward in total from where he began. He then takes double the previous amount of 2 steps forward, so he takes 2 * 2 = 4 steps forward. Since Frank was 3 steps forward before that, that means Frank finishes 3 + 4 = 7 steps forward. The answer is 7.
[Question]Carly is a pet groomer. Today, her task was trimming the four nails on dogs' paws. She trimmed 164 nails, but three of the dogs had only three legs. How many dogs did Carly work on?
[Answer]Let N be the number of dogs with 4 legs Carly worked on. All the dogs with 4 legs had 4N paws. There were 3 * 3 = 9 paws on dogs with 3 legs. At 4 nails per paw, she trimmed 164 / 4 = 41 paws. She worked on 4N + 9 = 41 paws. Thus, she worked on 4N = 32 paws on dogs with 4 legs. She worked on N = 32 / 4 = 8 dogs with 4 legs. Thus, Carly worked on 8 + 3 = 11 dogs. The answer is 11.
Q: John's neighbor tells him to walk his dog for 1 hour each day for a total of $10. He does this for April, save for the 4 Sundays in April. He later spent $50 on books and gave his sister Kaylee the same amount. How much money did John have left?
A: April has 30 days, so if he didn't walk the dog on Sundays, he worked for a total of 30 days - 4 days = 26 days. If each day he earned $10, he ends up with 26 days * $10 / day = $260 . After buying books and giving his sister $50, he ends up with $260 - $50 - $50 = $160. The answer is 160.
