Question: Mr Cruz went to his doctor to seek advice on the best way to gain weight. His doctor told him to include more proteins in his meals and live a generally healthy lifestyle. After a month of following his doctor's advice, Mr Cruz had a weight gain of 20 pounds. He gained 30 more pounds in the second month after more healthy eating habits. If he originally weighed 70 pounds, what's his weight after the two months?
Answer: Mr Cruz's total weight gain in the two months is 20 + 30 = 50 pounds. If he initially weighed 70 pounds, his total weight after the two months is 70 + 50 = 120 pounds. The answer is 120.
[Question]Mandy has three $20 bills while Manny has two $50 bills. If both of them decide to exchange their bills for $10 bills, how many more $10 bills than Mandy will Manny have?
[Answer]Mandy has a total of $20 x 3 = $60. So, she will have $60 / $10 = 6 $10 bills. Manny has a total of $50 x 2 = $100. So, he will have $100 / $10 = 10 $10 bills. Hence, Manny has 10 - 6 = 4 more $10 bills than Mandy. The answer is 4.
Q: Daniel collects Russian dolls that normally cost $4 each. He saves enough money to buy 15 Russian dolls. However, the price suddenly drops to $3 each. How many Russian dolls can he buy now at the discounted price, given his savings?
A: With the price of each doll at $4, this means he has saved a total of 15 * 4 = $60. When the price is lowered to $3 each, he can now purchase 60 / 3 = 20 dolls. The answer is 20.
Question: Gary is restocking the grocery produce section. He adds 60 bundles of asparagus at $3.00 each, 40 boxes of grapes at $2.50 each, and 700 apples at $0.50 each. How much is all the produce he stocked worth?
Answer: First find the total cost of the asparagus: 60 bundles * $3 / bundle = $180. Then find the total cost of the grapes: 40 boxes * $2.50 / bundle = $100. Then find the total cost of the apples: 700 apples * $0.50 / apple = $350. Then add the cost of each type of food to find the total cost of the produce: $180 + $100 + $350 = $630. The answer is 630.
[Question]Arthur has 3 dogs. They eat an average of 15 pounds of food a week. One dog eats 13 pounds a week. The second eats double this. How much does the third dog eat a week?
[Answer]The second dog eats 26 pounds a week because 13 x 2 = 26. In total they eat 45 pounds because 3 x 15 = 45. The third dog eats 6 pounds a week because 45 - 13 - 26 = 6. The answer is 6.
[Question]John has to pay taxes. He earned $100,000 for the year. He has $30,000 in deductions. The first $20,000 of taxable income is taxed at 10%. The rest is taxed at 20%. How much does he pay in taxes?
[Answer]
His taxable income is 100,000 - 30,000 = $70,000. So he pays 20,000 * .1 = $2000 tax at the lower rate. He has to pay 70,000 - 20,000 = $50,000 at the higher rate. The taxes for that is 50,000 * .2 = $10,000. So his total tax bill is 10,000 + 2,000 = $12,000. The answer is 12000.
