Q: Jack is on the phone with a scammer who says the IRS will arrest Jack if he doesn't send them the codes from 6 $500 Best Buy gift cards and 9 $200 Walmart gift cards. After sending the codes for 1 Best Buy gift card and 2 Walmart gift cards, Jack wises up and hangs up. How many dollars' worth of gift cards can he still return?
A: First find the number of Best Buy gift cards Jack needs to return: 6 cards - 1 cards = 5 cards. Then multiply that number by the cost per card to find the total refund Jack gets from Best Buy: 5 cards * $500 / card = $2500. Then find the number of Walmart gift cards Jack needs to return: 9 cards - 2 cards = 7 cards. Then multiply that number by the cost per card to find the total refund Jack gets from Walmart: 7 cards * $200 / card = $1400. Then add the two refunds to find his total refund amount: $2500 + $1400 = $3900. The answer is 3900.
Question: Bertha plays tennis. Every ten games, one of her tennis balls wears out. Every five games, she loses a ball. Every four games, she buys a canister of three balls. She started with two balls and gave one to her partner. After twenty games, how many tennis balls does she have?
Answer: Bertha wears out 20 / 10 = 2 tennis balls in 20 games. She loses 20 / 5 = 4 tennis balls in 20 games. She buys canisters of 3 * 20 / 4 = 15 tennis balls in 20 games. Bertha started with 2 balls and gave 1 away, so she has 2 + 15 - 2 - 4 - 1 = 10 tennis balls after twenty games. The answer is 10.
