Question: Wade has a hot dog food truck. He makes $2.00 in tips per customer. On Friday he served 28 customers. He served three times that amount of customers on Saturday. On Sunday, he served 36 customers. How many dollars did he make in tips between the 3 days?
Answer: On Saturday, he served 3 times the amount of customers that he served on Friday, which was 28 customers so he served 3 * 28 = 84 customers. He served 28 customers on Friday, 84 on Saturday and 36 customers on Sunday for a total of 28 + 84 + 36 = 148 customers. Each customer tipped him $2.00 and he had 148 customers so he made 2 * 148 = $296.00. The answer is 296.
[Question]Anais has 30 more toys than Kamari. There are 160 toys altogether. How many toys are there in Kamari's box?
[Answer]Let's say Kamari has x toys. Anais has x + 30 toys. Combined, Anais and Kamari have a total of x + x + 30 = 160 toys. Combining like terms, we get 2x + 30 = 160. Subtracting 30 from both sides, we get 2x = 130. Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 65, so the total number of toys that Kamari has is 65. The answer is 65.
Q: Louise is organizing her pencils, and decides she wants her boxes arranged by color. Each box holds 20 pencils each. She has 20 red pencils, twice as many blue pencils, 40 yellow pencils, and has as many green pencils as she has red and blue pencils combined. How many boxes does Louise need?
A: Louise has 20 red pencils * 2 = 40 blue pencils. She therefore has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils = 60 green pencils. In total, she has 20 red pencils + 40 blue pencils + 60 green pencils + 40 yellow pencils = 160 pencils. As each box holds 20 pencils, she needs 160 pencils / 20 pencils / box = 8 boxes. The answer is 8.
Question: Jim is wondering how many miles each gallon of gas gets him. His gas tank is 12 gallons. He has 2/3 of a tank left after he drives to and from work, which is 10 miles away from his house. How many miles per gallon does he get?
Answer: He used 1 / 3 of his tank because 1 - (2 / 3) = 1 / 3. He used 4 gallons of gas because 12 x (1 / 3) = 4. He drove 20 miles because 2 x 10 = 20. He gets 5 miles per gallon because 20 / 4 = 5. The answer is 5.
[Question]Mrs. Lopez and her family are going to the movie theatre. Adult tickets are $11. Children’s tickets (ages 3-12) are $8. Senior citizen’s tickets (ages 60+) are $9. Mrs. Lopez needs to buy movie tickets for her husband, herself, her parents (ages 72 and 75), and her three children (ages 7, 10, 14). How much money does she need to buy everyone’s tickets?
[Answer]Mrs. Lopez needs to buy two adult tickets for $11 x 2 = $22. She needs to buy two senior citizen tickets for $9 x 2 = $18. She needs to buy three children’s tickets for $8 x 3 = $24. For everyone’s tickets, Mrs. Lopez needs to spend $22 + $18 + $24 = $64 for seven tickets. The answer is 64.
[Question]John pays for a candy bar with 4 quarters, 3 dimes, and a nickel. He got 4 cents back in change. How many cents did the candy bar cost?
[Answer]
The quarters came to 4 * 25 = 100 cents. The dimes were worth 3 * 10 = 30 cents. The nickel was 5 * 1 = 5 cents. So he paid 100 + 30 + 5 = 135 cents. Since he got 4 cents as change it cost 135 - 4 = 131 cents. The answer is 131.
