[Question]In a basketball game, Jon scored 3 points. Jack scored 5 points more than Jon, and Tom scored 4 less than the points of Jon and Jack together. How many points did they score altogether?
[Answer]Jack scored 3 + 5 = 8 points. Together, Jon and Jack scored 8 + 3 = 11 points. So, Tom scored 11 - 4 = 7 points. Thus, Jon, Jack, and Tom scored a total of 3 + 8 + 7 = 18 points. The answer is 18.
Q: Camille saw 3 cardinals and four times as many robins as cardinals while bird watching. She also saw twice as many blue jays as cardinals and 1 more than three times as many sparrows as cardinals. How many birds did Camille see?
A: Camille saw 3 x 4 = 12 robins. She also saw 3 x 2 = 6 blue jays. Triple the number of cardinals is 3 x 3 = 9. So, she saw 9 + 1 = 10 sparrows. Therefore, Camille saw 3 + 12 + 6 + 10 = 31 birds. The answer is 31.
Question: A group of 30 tourists sets out on a walking tour of the rainforest. Two tourists are eaten by anacondas, then half the remaining tourists try to pet poisonous dart frogs and get poisoned. If only 1/7 of the poisoned tourists recovered, how many tourists are left at the end of the tour?
Answer: First, subtract the two tourists the anacondas got from the initial 30 tourists: 30 - 2 = 28. Next, divide 28 by two to find out how many tourists got poisoned: 28 / 2 = 14. Now figure out how many of the 14 poisoned tourists recovered: 14 / 7 = 2. The total number of surviving tourists is 14 + 2 = 16. The answer is 16.
[Question]To support the school outreach program, Einstein wants to raise $500 by selling snacks. One box of pizza sells for $12, a pack of potato fries sells for $0.30, and a can of soda at $2. Einstein sold 15 boxes of pizzas, 40 packs of potato fries, and 25 cans of soda. How much more money does Einstein need to raise to reach his goal?
[Answer]Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $180 for selling pizzas. He collected 40 x $0.30 = $12 for the 40 packs of potato fries. He collected 25 x $2 = $50 for the 25 cans of soda. Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 + $50 = $242. Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $258 more to reach the goal. The answer is 258.
Q: The garbage truck passes through Daniel's neighborhood on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. In each garbage collection, an average of 200 kg is taken. Due to obstruction in the roads leading to Daniel's neighborhood, the garbage truck stops passing through for two weeks. During the first week, people in Daniel's neighborhood pile the extra garbage around the dumpster, during the second week they apply a policy of cutting their amount of garbage in half. How many kilograms of garbage have accumulated in Daniel's neighborhood during the 2 weeks?
A: The garbage truck passes through Daniel's neighborhood for 3 days. In the first week, 200 * 3 = 600 kilograms of garbage are accumulated. In the second week, half the amount of garbage is accumulated, which is 600 / 2 = 300 kg of garbage. During the 2 weeks, 600 + 300 = 900 kg of garbage are accumulated. The answer is 900.
Question: Jimmy bought 3 pens for school for $1 each, 4 notebooks for $3 each and 2 folders for $5 each. If he paid with a $50 bill, how much change will he get back?
Answer:
Jimmy spent 3 * $1 = $3 on pens. He spent 4 * $3 = $12 on notebooks. He spent 2 * $5 = $10 on folders. He spent $3 + $12 + $10 = $25 in total. His change will be $50 - $25 = $25. The answer is 25.
