Question: Celia is creating a budget for the next 4 weeks. She wants to spend no more than $100 a week on food. For rent for her apartment, she plans to spend $1500. She has $30 set aside for video streaming services for the month. She also has $50 planned for one month of cell phone usage. After she adds up all of her spending for the month she wants to set aside 10% of it to put into savings. How much money is Celia going to put into her savings account?
Answer: Celia has budgeted $100 a week for 4 weeks for food, $100 x 4 = $400 worth of food for the month. She has one monthly cost of $1500 for her rent + $30 for video streaming services + $50 for her cell phone = $1580 of single monthly costs. Celia wants to set aside 10% of the $400 + $1580 = $1980 for her savings account. 10% of her savings account is .10 x 1980 = $198 to add to her savings account. The answer is 198.
[Question]Harold makes $2500.00 a month from his job. His rent is $700.00, his car payment is $300.00, his utilities cost 1/2 the amount of his car payment and he spends $50.00 on groceries. He wants to put half of the remaining money into a retirement account. How much money will that leave him?
[Answer]His utilities cost 1 / 2 the amount of his $250.00 car payment so his utilities cost 250 / 2 = $125.00. All total, his bills cost him 775 + 250 + 125 + 50 = $1,200. He makes $2500 a month and his bills cost $1200 a month so that leaves him with 2500 - 1200 = $1300.00. He wants to put half of $1300 into a retirement account so he will invest 1300 / 2 = $650 into his retirement account. He had 1300 and puts $650 into his retirement account so that leaves him with 1300 - 650 = $650 remaining. The answer is 650.

[Question]Reagan's school has a fish tank with a total of 280 fish of two types, koi fish and goldfish. Over the next 3 weeks, the school added 2 koi fish and 5 goldfish per day. If the tank had 200 goldfish at the end of the three weeks, what's the total number of koi fish in the tank after the three weeks?
[Answer]The total number of days in 3 weeks is 3 * 7 = 21 days. If 2 koi fish are added every day, the total after 21 days is 21 * 2 = 42 koi fish. if 5 goldfish are added every day, the total after 21 days is 5 * 21 = 105 goldfish. The total number of fish in the tank after 3 weeks is 280 + 42 + 105 = 427 fish. If there were a total of 200 goldfish in the tank after 3 weeks, then the number of koi in the tank is 427 - 200 = 227 koi fish. The answer is 227.
