Question: The movie theater sells matinee tickets for $5, evening tickets for $12, and 3D tickets for $20. If they sell 200 matinee tickets, 300 evening tickets and 100 3D tickets, how much money do they make in total?
Answer: First find the total revenue from the matinee tickets: $5 / ticket * 200 tickets = $1000. Then find the total revenue from the evening tickets: $12 / ticket * 300 tickets = $3600. Then find the total revenue from the 3D tickets: $20 / ticket * 100 tickets = $2000. Then add the cost of each group of tickets to find the total cost: $1000 + $3600 + $2000 = $6600. The answer is 6600.
[Question]Dani brings two and half dozen cupcakes for her 2nd-grade class. There are 27 students (including Dani), 1 teacher, and 1 teacher’s aid. If 3 students called in sick that day, how many cupcakes are left after Dani gives one to everyone in the class?
[Answer]Dani brings 2.5 x 12 = 30 cupcakes. She needs this many cupcakes to feed everyone in class 27 + 2 = 29. With the 3 students calling in sick, there are this many people in class today 29 - 3 = 26. There are this many cupcakes left after everyone gets one 30 - 26 = 4 cupcakes. The answer is 4.
Q: The school band has 30 songs in their repertoire. The band played 5 songs in their first set and 7 in their second set. The band will play 2 songs for their encore. Assuming the band plays through their entire repertoire, how many songs will they play on average in the third and fourth sets?
A: The band played 5 + 7 = 12 songs in their first two sets. They have 30 - 12 = 18 songs left for the third set, fourth set and encore. Since they played 2 songs in the encore, they have 18 - 2 = 16 songs to play on the third and fourth sets. They will play 16 / 2 = 8 songs on average over the third and fourth sets. The answer is 8.
Question: Bob is building a garden on his land, and he wants it to be fenced in to keep out varmints. The garden is a rectangular plot 225 feet long by 125 feet wide. He also wants to have a small 3-foot wide gate to walk through and a larger 10-foot wide gate to move his gardening equipment through. How much fencing is Bob going to need to fence in his garden, taking into account the two gates?
Answer: The perimeter of the garden is 2 * 225 + 2 * 125 = 450 + 250 = 700 feet. Minus the two gates, he will need at least 700 - 3 - 10 = 687 feet of fencing. The answer is 687.
[Question]John releases 3 videos on his channel a day. Two of them are short 2 minute videos and 1 of them is 6 times as long. Assuming a 7-day week, how many minutes of video does he release per week?
[Answer]He releases 1 video that is 2 * 6 = 12 minutes long. So each day he releases 2 + 2 + 12 = 16 minutes of videos. That means he releases 16 * 7 = 112 minutes of videos. The answer is 112.
[Question]There are 180 days in a school year. A senior can skip their final exams if they miss 5% or less of the school year. Hazel has missed 6 days of school due to illness. How many more days can she miss and still not have to take her exams?
[Answer]
There are 180 days in the school year and she can miss up to 5% so that’s 180 * .05 = 9 days. Hazel has been sick 6 days already and she can only miss 9 days or less so she can miss 9 - 6 = 3 more days. The answer is 3.
