[Question]A factory manufactures cars with 5 doors. The factory was planning to produce 200 cars but due to metal shortages, they decreased the production by 50 cars. Due to a pandemic, they also had to cut production by another 50%. How many doors will the factory produce?
[Answer]The factory due to shortages will produce 200 - 50 = 150 cars. Due to the pandemic, they will now produce 150 / 2 = 75 cars. The company will have to manufacture 75 * 5 = 375 doors. The answer is 375.
Q: In a shipping container, there are 10 crates. Each crate is filled with 6 boxes and each box is filled with 4 washing machines. A worker removes 1 washing machine from each box. There are no other changes. How many washing machines were removed from the shipping container?
A: Initially, there were 6 boxes * 4 washing machines per box = 24 washing machines in each crate. So there were 24 washing machines per crate * 10 crates = 240 washing machines in the shipping container. A worker removes 1 washing machine from each box so there are now 4 original washing machines - 1 removed washing machine = 3 washing machines in each box. This means there are 6 boxes * 3 washing machines per box = 18 washing machines in each crate. So there are now 18 washing machines per crate * 10 crates = 180 washing machines in the shipping container. The difference is how many machine washing machines were removed which is 240 initial washing machines – 180 current washing machines = 60 washing machines. The answer is 60.
Question: Laura bought 2 pairs of pants for $54 each and 4 shirts for $33 each. She gave $250 to the cashier. So how much change did she take?
Answer: 54 * 2 = $108 is the price of 2 pairs of pants. 4 * 33 = $132 is the price of 4 shirts. 108 + 132 = $240 is the total price. So the cashier gave 250 - 240 = $10 change to Laura. The answer is 10.
[Question]Georgia is working on a math test with 75 problems on it. After 20 minutes she has completed 10 problems. After another 20 minutes, she has completed twice as many problems. She has 40 minutes to complete the rest of the test. How many problems does she have left to solve?
[Answer]Georgia's test started with 75 problems and then Georgia completed 10, 75 - 10 = 65 problems. After 20 minutes she completes twice as many problems, 10 x 2 = 20. With 40 minutes left she has completed 10 + 20 problems = 30 problems. From the original 75 problems she has solved 30, 75 - 30 = 45 problems she has left. The answer is 45.
Q: Lyanna set up a food bank to collect food to give to the homeless in her local town. In the first week, 40 pounds of food were donated to the food bank by the people of her local town. In the second week, donations were twice as high as the first week. If she gave out 70% of the donated food to the homeless in the third week, calculate the amount of food remaining in the food bank.
A: If 40 pounds of food was donated to the food bank in the first week, the second week, which had twice the amount of food donated as the first week, had 2 * 40 = 80 pounds of food. The total amount of food donated to the food bank after the second week is 40 + 80 = 120 pounds. In the third week, she gave to the homeless 70 / 100 * 120 = 84 pounds of food. The total amount of food remaining in the food bank after she gave out 70% to the homeless is 120 - 84 = 36 pounds of food. The answer is 36.
Question: A hairstylist charges $5 for a normal haircut, $6 for a special haircut, and $8 for a trendy haircut. If he cuts 5 normal haircuts, 3 special haircuts, and 2 trendy haircuts per day, how much money does he earn per week?
Answer:
The hairstylist earns $5 x 5 = $25 for a normal haircut per day. He earns $6 x 3 = $18 for a special haircut. And he earns $8 x 2 = $16 for a trendy haircut. So, the total amount he earns per day is $25 + $18 + $16 = $59. Therefore, a hairstylist earns $59 x 7 = $413 per month. The answer is 413.
