Question: Each member of Greg’s softball team needs to buy one uniform made up of a shirt, a pair of pants, and socks. A shirt costs $7.50, a pair of pants cost $15, and socks cost $4.50 each if each team member buys the uniform items on their own. If they buy the items as a group, they are given a discount. A discounted shirt cost $6.75, a discounted pair of pants cost $13.50, and discounted socks cost $3.75. How much would their team of 12 save with the group discount?
Answer: The cost of a regularly - priced uniform is $7.50 for the shirt + $15 for pants + $4.50 for socks = $27. The cost of a discounted uniform is $6.75 for the shirt + $13.50 for pants + $3.75 for socks = $24. By purchasing the discounted uniform, each team member would save $27 for full price - $24 for discounted = $3. So, for the team of 12, they would save $3 * 12 = $36. The answer is 36.
[Question]James decides to buy two suits. The first is an off-the-rack suit which costs $300. The second is a tailored suit that costs three as much plus an extra $200 for tailoring. How much did he pay for both suits?
[Answer]The second suit cost 300 * 3 = $900. After tailoring the second suit cost 900 + 200 = $1100. So the total cost was 1100 + 300 = $1400. The answer is 1400.
Q: Tom split 2 apples into 8 slices each. Tom gave 3/8ths of the apple slices to his friend Jerry, then ate half of the remaining slices. How many apple slices does Tom have left?
A: 2 apples cut into 8 slices each is 2 * 8 = 16 slices. 2 / 8ths of the apple slices is 16 * 3 / 8 = 6 slices. Tom had 16 - 6 = 10 slices. Tom then ate half the slices so he has 10 / 2 = 5 slices. The answer is 5.
Question: As Dan is learning to screen-print t-shirts to sell at the craft fair, he makes t-shirts, over the first hour, at the rate of one every 12 minutes. Then, in the second hour, he makes one at the rate of every 6 minutes. How many t-shirts does he make over the course of those two hours?
Answer: He made 60 / 12 = 5 the first hour. He made 60 / 6 = 10 the second hour. He made 5 + 10 = 15. The answer is 15.
Q: The price of a math textbook in the school bookshop is $45. If those sold in bookshops outside the school cost 20% less, how much can Peter save by buying from other bookshops rather than the school's if he wants to buy 3 math textbooks?
A:
20% of $45 is (20 / 100) * $45 = $9. The price of the textbook in other bookshops cost $9 less than $45 which is $45 - $9 = $36. Three textbooks from the school bookshop would cost $45 * 3 = $135. Three textbooks from another bookshop would cost $36 * 3 = $108. Peter can save $135 - $108 = $27 by buying from another bookshop. The answer is 27.
