[Question]An Italian restaurant earns $600 every weekday and twice as much on the weekend. How much money does it earn by the end of the month?
[Answer]On weekdays it earns $600 / weekday * 5 weekdays = $3000. During the weekend it earns twice as much each day so it makes ($600 * 2) / weekend day * 2 weekend days = $2400. Every week it earns $3000 + $2400 = $5400. By the end of the month, it earns $5400 / week * 4 weeks = $21600. The answer is 21600.
Q: Nadia was sent to the flower shop to buy 20 roses and 3/4 times as many Lillies as roses. If roses cost $5 each and lilies cost twice as much each, calculate the total amount of money Nadia used to buy the flowers.
A: The total cost for roses is 20 * 5 = $100. Nadia bought 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 lilies. Each lily costs 5 * 2 = $10. She used 10 * 15 = $150 in total to buy lilies. To buy all the flowers, Nadia used 150 + 100 = $250. The answer is 250.
Question: Lloyd, Mark, and Michael have their Pokemon cards collection. Currently, Mark has thrice as many cards as Lloyd but has 10 fewer cards than Michael. If Michael has 100 cards now, how many more cards should they collect so that all three of them will have a total of 300 cards?
Answer: Mark has 10 fewer cards than Michael so Mark has 100 cards - 10 cards = 90 cards. So, Lloyd has 90 cards / 3 = 30 cards. All three of them have 90 cards + 30 cards + 100 cards = 220 cards. Thus, they need to collect 300 cards - 220 cards = 80 more cards. The answer is 80.
[Question]From March to August, Sam made $460 doing 23 hours of yard work. However, from September to February, Sam was only able to work for 8 hours. If Sam is saving up to buy a video game console that costs $600 and has already spent $340 to fix his car, how many more hours does he need to work before he can buy the video game console?
[Answer]Sam makes $460 / 23 hrs = $20 / hr. From September to February, Sam made 8hrs x $20 / hr = $160. From March to February, Sam made a total of $460 + $160 = $620. After fixing his car, he was left with $620 - $340 = $280. Sam needs another $600 - $280 = $320. Sam needs to work another $320 / $20 / hr = 16 hours. The answer is 16.
Q: Jessica has one hour to take an exam. She has answered 16 out of 80 questions. She has used 12 minutes of her time. If she keeps up this same pace, how many minutes will be left when she finishes the exam?
A: She takes .75 minutes to answer a question because 12 / 16 = .75. It will take her 60 minutes to take the entire exam because 80 x .75 = 60. She has 0 minutes left when she is done because 60 - 60 = 0. The answer is 0.
Question: A Statistics student wants to find out the average daily allowance of the middle school students. According to his survey, 2/3 of the students receive an average of $6 allowance per day while the rest gets an average of $4 a day. If he surveyed 60 students, what is the total amount of money those 60 students get in a day?
Answer:
There are 60 students x 2 / 3 = 40 students who have a $6 daily allowance. While there are 60 students - 40 students = 20 students who have a $4 daily allowance. The sum of the allowances of the 40 students who received $6 daily is 40 students x $6 / day = $240. The sum of the allowances of the 20 students who received $4 daily is 20 students x $4 / day = $80. The total daily amount of money of those 60 students is $240 + $80 = $320. The answer is 320.
