Q: For a class fundraiser, 30 students were asked to bring in 12 brownies each. 20 students were asked to bring in 24 cookies each and 15 students were asked to bring in 12 donuts each. If they sell everything for $2.00 each, how much money will they raise?
A: 30 students were asked to bring in 12 brownies so they will bring in 30 * 12 = 360 brownies. 20 students were asked to bring in 24 cookies each so that’s 20 * 24 = 480 cookies. 15 students were asked to bring in 12 donuts each so that’s 15 * 12 = 180 donuts. Together, they have 360 + 480 + 180 = 1,020 treats. If they sell all the treats for $2.00 each then they will make 1020 * 2 = $2,040.00. The answer is 2040.
Question: Kate loves painting. She decided to go to an Art-museum in her city. The entrance fee is $5. Kate loved the visit so much, that she decided to go there once a month. After 1 year, the ticket price increased to $7 and Kate decided she is going to visit the museum only 4 times a year. How much did Kate pay for all visits to the Art-museum after 3 years of visiting?
Answer: One year is 12 months, so during the first year, Kate spent $5 / month * 12 months / year = $60 / year on the tickets. After that, she went to the museum for 3 years - 1 year = 2 more years. During this time, she visited the museum 2 years * 4 visits / year = 8 visits. She had to pay the higher price of $7, so she spent $7 / visit * 8 visits = $56 in two last years. In total Kate paid $56 + $60 = $116 during 3 years. The answer is 116.
[Question]Joe likes to play video games and he normally spends $50 a month on video games. Joe also sells his games for $30 each once he is done playing them. If he starts with $240, how many months can he buy games at $50 and sell them at $30 before he is out of money?
[Answer]Joe can buy a game for $50 and sell it for $30, so he is losing $50 - $30 = $20 each month when he buys and sells a game. Joe starts out with $240 and he buys a game and sells a game he loses $20 per month, so it will take $240 / $20 = 12 months until he is out of money. The answer is 12.
