A: Cloud 9 earned $12,000 + $16,000 = $28,000 from bookings. After returning money due to cancellations, they had a final total of $28,000 - $1600 = $26,400. The answer is 26400.
Question: A small pizza has 6 slices, a medium pizza has 8 slices whereas a large pizza has 12 slices. How many slices of pizza will you have if you bought a total of 15 pizzas and you know you ordered 4 small pizzas and 5 medium pizzas?
Answer: We know that 4 small pizzas and 5 medium pizzas = 4 + 5 = 9 non - large pizzas were purchased. Because a total of 15 pizzas were purchased then 15 - 9 = 6 large pizzas were ordered. If 1 small pizza has 6 slices then 4 small pizzas will have 4 * 6 = 24 slices. Similarly, If 1 medium pizza has 8 slices then 5 medium pizzas will have 5 * 8 = 40 slices. Similarly, If 1 large pizza has 12 slices then 6 large pizzas will have 6 * 12 = 72 slices. That means in total we have 24 small slices + 40 medium slices + 72 large slices = 24 + 40 + 72 = 136 slices of pizza. The answer is 136.
[Question]Uncle Bradley has a $1000 bill that he wants to change into smaller bills so he could give them to his nieces and nephews. He wants to change 3/10 of the money into $50 bills while the rest into $100 bills. How many pieces of bills will Uncle Bradley have in all?
[Answer]There will be $1000 x 3 / 10 = $300 worth of money that will be changed into $50 bills. Uncle Bradley will have $300 / $50 = 6 pieces of $50 bills. He will change $1000 - $300 = $700 worth of money into $100 bills. So there will be $700 / $100 = 7 pieces of $100 bills. Thus, there will be a total of 6 + 7 = 13 pieces of $50 and $100 bills in all. The answer is 13.
Q: Darcy washes and drys 20 shirts and 8 pairs of shorts. If he folds 12 of the shirts and 5 of the shorts, how many more remaining pieces of clothing does Darcy have to fold?
A: Darcy still has to fold 20 - 12 = 8 shirts. Darcy still has to fold 8 - 5 = 3 shorts. Darcy has to fold a total of 8 + 3 = 11 pieces of clothing. The answer is 11.
Question: Leon ordered 3 sets of toy organizers for $78 per set and 2 gaming chairs for $83 each. If there is a delivery fee that is 5% of the total sales, how much did Leon pay?
Answer: Three sets of toy organizers cost $78 x 3 = $234. Two gaming chairs cost $83 x 2 = $166. Leon's total orders amount to $234 + $166 = $400. Then, the delivery fee is $400 x 5 / 100 = $20. So, Leon had to pay a total of $400 + $20 = $420. The answer is 420.
Q: Carson is going to spend 4 hours at a carnival. The wait for the roller coaster is 30 minutes, the wait for the tilt-a-whirl is 60 minutes, and the wait for the giant slide is 15 minutes. If Carson rides the roller coaster 4 times and the tilt-a-whirl once, how many times can he ride the giant slide? (Wait times include the time actually spent on the ride.)
A:
First figure out how many minutes Carson spends at the carnival by multiplying the number of hours he's there by the number of minutes per hour: 4 hours * 60 minutes / hour = 240 minutes. Then figure out how long Carson spends waiting for the roller coaster by multiplying the wait time per ride by the number of rides: 4 rides * 30 minutes / ride = 120 minutes. Now subtract the time Carson spends on the roller coaster and tilt - a - whirl from the total time he spends at the park to find out how much time he has left: 240 minutes - 120 minutes - 60 minutes = 60 minutes. Now divide the time Carson has left by the wait time for the giant slide to see how many times he can ride it: 60 minutes / 15 minutes / ride = 4 rides. The answer is 4.
