[Question]Miranda wants to buy a pair of heels she saw online. She saved money for 3 months. Her sister heard that she was sad and gave her $50 for her to buy the heels. If she paid $260 in total for the heels, how much money did she save per month?
[Answer]First find the total amount of money she saved: $260 - $50 = $210. Then divide that number by the number of months she saved to find the amount she saved each month: $210 / 3 months = $70 / month. The answer is 70.
Q: Allie has 9 toys, which are in total worth $52. If we know that one toy is worth $12, and all the other toys have the same value, how much does one of the other toys cost?
A: Allie has 9 - 1 = 8 toys of the same value. Without the value of the one $12 toy, all 8 other toys are worth in total 52 - 12 = $40. That would mean, that one of the other toys is worth 40 / 8 = $5. The answer is 5.
Question: DJ Snake's friends decided to give him treats to celebrate his engagement. Moksi took him and his fiancee to a luxurious hotel for two nights at $4000 per night. Lil Jon bought them a car worth $30000, and Wynter presented them with a house worth four times the value of the car Lil Jon bought them. What was the total value of all the treats DJ Snake received on his engagement day?
Answer: Moksi took DJ Snake and his fiancee to a luxurious hotel for two nights at $4000 per night, for a total of 2 * $4000 = $8000. If Lil Jon also bought them a car worth $30000, the value of the treats from Lil John and Moksi summed up to $8000 + $30000 = $38000. Wynter presented them with a house worth four times the value of the car Lil Jon bought them, a total of 4 * $30000 = $120000. The total value of all the treats DJ Snake received on his engagement day is $120000 + $38000 = $158000. The answer is 158000.
Q: The price of a book was $400. If the book's price is decreased by 15% and then increased by 40%, what is the final price of the book?
A:
When the price of the book is decreased by 15%, the total price decrease is 15 / 100 * $400 = $60. The new price of the book becomes $400 - $60 = $340. The price of the book is then increased by 40 / 100 * 340 = $136. The final price of the book is $340 + $136 = $476. The answer is 476.
