[Question]Tyler has $100. If he buys 8 scissors for $5 each and 10 erasers for $4 each, how much of his money remains?
[Answer]8 * $5 = $40 is the price of 8 scissors. 10 * $4 = $40 is the price of 10 erasers. You can find the total price by adding the cost of the scissors and erasers: $40 + $40 = $80. $100 - $80 = $20 is the remaining amount of his money. The answer is 20.
Q: A frog pond has five frogs living in it. Some frogs laid eggs, and now there are three times as many tadpoles growing into more frogs as there are frogs. Two-thirds of the tadpoles will survive to maturity as frogs. The pond can only sustain eight frogs. How many frogs will have to find a new pond when the tadpoles grow up?
A: There are three times the number of tadpoles as frogs, so there are 3 * 5 = 15 tadpoles. Two - thirds of the tadpoles will survive to become frogs, so 2 * 15 / 3 = 10 tadpoles will grow into frogs. When the tadpoles grow up, there will be 5 + 10 = 15 frogs in the pond. The pond can only sustain 8 frogs, so 15 - 8 = 7 frogs will need to find a new pond. The answer is 7.
Question: Company A and Company B merge. Company A receives 60% of the combined profits under the new merger, and company B receives 40% of the profits. If company B gets a total of $60000 in profit, how much does company A get?
Answer: Let the total profit of both companies be denoted by x. Therefore, 40% * x = 0.4 * x = $60000. So x = $60000 / 0.4 = $150000. If Company B gets 60 % of the profits, it gets 60% of $150000, which is 0.6 * $150000 = $90000. The answer is 90000.
[Question]Monica read 16 books last year. This year, she read twice the number of books she read last year. Next year, she wants to read 5 more than twice the number of books she read this year. How many books will Monica read next year?
[Answer]The number of books that Monica read this year is 2 * 16 = 32 books. Twice the number of books that Monica read this year is 2 * 32 = 64 books. The number of books that Monica will read next year is 64 + 5 = 69 books. The answer is 69.
Q: Harry is 50 years old. His father is currently 24 years older than he is. How old was his mother when she gave birth to him if she is younger than his father by 1/25 of Harry's current age?
A: Harry's father is 50 years + 24 years = 74 years old. Harry's mother is 1 / 25 * 50 years = 2 years younger than his father. So she is currently 74 years - 2 years = 72 years old. So when Harry was born, she was 72 years - 50 years = 22 years old. The answer is 22.
Question: Felix can lift off the ground 1.5 times more than he weighs. Felix's brother weighs twice as much as Felix and can lift three times his weight off the ground. If his brother can lift 600 pounds, how much can Felix lift off the ground?
Answer:
Felix's brother weighs 200 pounds because 600 / 3 = 200. Felix weighs 100 pounds because 200 / 2 = 100. Felix can lift 150 pounds because 100 x 1.5 = 150. The answer is 150.
