[Question]Ronald wants to make profits by re-selling some phones he bought a week ago. He bought 200 units for just $3000, and he wants to gain a third of the initial investment in profits when all units are sold. Including the profit margin, what will be the selling price for each phone?
[Answer]The profit Ronald wants is $3000 / 3 = $1000. The profit per phone sold will be $1000 / 200 phones = $5 / phone. The cost of each phone is $3000 / 200 phones = $15 / phone. The selling price including the profit will be $15 / phone + $5 / phone = $20. The answer is 20.
Q: A big snowstorm caused a large amount of snow to fall onto Grandpa's farm, and the wind caused the snow to pile up into a drift. But on the second day, it warmed up enough that half of the snowdrift melted. The third day, it snowed again, adding another 6 inches of snow onto the snowdrift. On the fourth day, another 18 inches of snow fell onto the snowdrift. If the snowdrift was 34 inches deep at the end of the fourth day, how deep in inches was the drift at the end of the first day?
A: The third and fourth day contributed 6 + 18 = 24 inches to the depth of the snowdrift. Therefore, the size of the snowdrift after half was melted on the second day, but before the snowfall on the third and fourth day, was 34 - 24 = 10 inches. If the size of the drift on the second day, after half of the snow had melted, was 10 inches, then the depth of the original drift created on day 1 was 2 * 10 = 20 inches deep. The answer is 20.
Question: Last night, Olive charged her phone for 10 hours. Assuming each hour of charge lasts the phone 2 hours of use, calculate the total time Olive would be able to use her phone before it goes off if she charges it for 3/5 of the time she charged the phone last night.
Answer: If Olive charges her phone for 3 / 5 of the time she charged the phone last night, the phone would be charged for 3 / 5 * 10 = 6 hours. Assuming each hour of charge lasts the phone 2 hours of use, the phone will last for 6 * 2 = 12 hours before it goes off when Olive uses it on a six hours charge. The answer is 12.
[Question]Jane's goal is to exercise 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. If she hits her goal weekly for 8 weeks, how many hours has Jane exercised?
[Answer]Her goal is 1 hour a day for 5 days so on a weekly basis, she exercises 1 * 5 = 5 hours. If she works 5 hours a week for 8 weeks then she exercises 5 * 8 = 40 hours in 8 weeks. The answer is 40.
Q: Thor is 13 times older than Captain America. Captain America is 7 times older than Peter Parker, and Ironman is 32 years older than Peter Parker. How old is Ironman if Thor is 1456 years old?
