Answer: Henry gets paid 5 + 13 = $18 for each bike painted and sold. In total, Henry will be paid 8 * 18 = $144 for painting and selling 8 bikes. The answer is 144.
[Question]A pet shop has 2 puppies and some kittens. A puppy costs $20, and a kitten costs $15. If the stock is worth $100, how many kittens does the pet shop have?
[Answer]The 2 puppies cost 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. The stock is worth 100 dollars, meaning that the kittens cost 100 - 40 = 60 dollars. Since the cost of a kitten is 15 dollars, the pet shop has 60 / 15 = 4 kittens. The answer is 4.
Q: The number of Oreos and cookies in a box is in the ratio 4:9. Zane bought each Oreo at $2 and each cookie at $3. How much more money did Zane spend on buying the cookies than buying the Oreos if the total number of items in the box is 65?
A: The total ratio representing the number of cookies and Oreos that Zack bought is 4 + 9 = 13. The fraction representing the number of Oreos Zane bought is 4 / 13, and since the total number of items in the box is 65, Zane bought 4 / 13 * 65 = 20 Oreos. If Zane bought 20 Oreos at $2 each, the total cost of buying Oreos is $2 * 20 = $40. Since the total number of items in the box is 65, and there are 20 Oreos in the box, the number of cookies in the box is 65 - 20 = 45. The cost of buying the cookies at $3 each is 45 * $3 = $135. If the Oreos cost $40 to buy, Zane used $135 - $40 = $95 more to buy Cookies than Oreos. The answer is 95.
Question: Mabel lives 4500 steps directly east of Lake High school. Helen lives 3/4 the number of steps that Mabel lives, directly west of the school. What's the total number of steps Mabel will walk to visit Helen so that they can do their assignments together?
Answer: Helen lives 3 / 4 * 4500 = 3375 steps directly west of Lake High. To reach Helen, Mabel would have to walk to 4500 + 3375 = 7875 steps. The answer is 7875.
[Question]In his first season at Best Hockey's team, Louie scored four goals in the last hockey match of this season. His brother has scored twice as many goals as Louie scored in the last match in each game he's played in each of the three seasons he's been on the team. Each season has 50 games. What is the total number of goals the brothers have scored between them if, in the previous matches, Louie scored 40 goals?
[Answer]If Louie scored 4 goals last night, his brother has scored 2 * 4 goals = 8 goals in each game. The total number of games Louie's brother has played in is 3 seasons * 50 games / season = 150 games. Louie's brother's total number of goals in the three seasons is 8 goals / game * 150 games = 1200 goals. Louie's total number of goals this season is 40 goals + 4 goals = 44 goals. Together, they have a total of 44 goals + 1200 goals = 1244 goals in the team. The answer is 1244.
[Question]The base of a hill located beside a river is 300m above the seabed. If this depth is a quarter of the vertical distance between the riverbed and the peak of the hill, how high is the hill?
[Answer]
300m is a quarter of the distance from the riverbed to the hill's peak so (1 / 4) * distance from riverbed to peak = 300m. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 gives the distance from riverbed to peak = 300m * 4 = 1200m. The height of the hill is the difference between the distance from the riverbed to the hill's peak and the distance from the riverbed to the hill's base which is 1200m - 300m = 900m. The answer is 900.
