Question: Kimiko is retiling her kitchen floor. Each tile is 6 square inches. If her kitchen is 48 inches by 72 inches, how many tiles does Kimiko need to buy?
Answer: First figure out how many tiles are in one row by dividing the kitchen's width by each tile's width: 48 inches / 6 inches / tile = 8 tiles in one row. Then figure out how many rows of tiles there are by dividing the kitchen's height by each tile's height: 72 inches / 6 inches / tile = 12 rows of tiles. Then multiply the number of rows by the number of tiles per row to find the total number of tiles Kimiko needs to buy: 8 tiles / row * 12 rows = 96 tiles. The answer is 96.
[Question]Jacoby wants to save money for a trip to Brickville. He needs to have $5000 total to go on his trip. He works a job earning $20 per hour and works 10 hours. He then finds he can sell cookies for $4 each, and he sells 24 pieces of cookies. With the money he has so far, he buys a lottery ticket for $10 and wins $500. Finally, he gets $500 from both of his sisters as a gift. How much more, in dollars, does Jacob need to go to Brickville?
[Answer]Jacob earns $20 per hour * 10 hours = $200 for working. So he earns $4 each * 24 = $96 for the cookies. So far he has earned $200 + $96 = $296. He buys a lottery ticket so $296 - $10 = $286 was left in his money. After winning in a lottery, he had a total of $500 + $286 = $786. He gets $500 * 2 per sister = $1000 from her sisters. So he has so far $1000 + $786 = $1786. He needs $5000 - $1786 = $3214. The answer is 3214.
[Question]On Mary's birthday, her brother surprised her with $100. She spent a quarter of it on a new video game and then used a fifth of what was left on swimming goggles. How much money did she have left?
[Answer]
