Question: Freddy is calling his family on New Year's Eve. He calls his dad, who lives in the same city as him, and they talk for 45 minutes. Then he calls his brother, who lives on the other side of the world, and they talk for 31 minutes. Local calls cost 5 cents a minute, while international calls cost 25 cents a minute. How many dollars did Freddy spend calling his family on New Year's Eve?
Answer: At 5 cents a minute, calling his father cost Freddy 5 * 45 = 225 cents. At 25 cents a minute, calling his brother cost Freddy 25 * 31 = 775 cents. Adding the cost of calling his father and brother, we find that Freddy paid a total of 225 + 775 = 1000 cents. Since each dollar has 100 cents, Freddy paid 1000 / 100 = 10 dollars. The answer is 10.
[Question]Mrs. Young makes bonnets for kids in the orphanage. On Monday, she made 10 bonnets, on Tuesday and Wednesday combined she made twice more than on Monday, while on Thursday she made 5 more than on Monday, and on Friday she made 5 less than on Thursday. Then, she divided up the bonnets evenly and sent them to 5 orphanages. How many bonnets did Mrs. Young send to each orphanage?
[Answer]She made 10 x 2 = 20 bonnets on Tuesday and Wednesday. While on Thursday she made 10 + 5 = 15 bonnets. On Friday she made 15 - 5 = 10 bonnets. Mrs. Young made a total of 10 + 20 + 15 + 10 = 55 bonnets for the orphanage. Therefore, Mrs. Young sends 55 / 5 = 11 bonnets to each orphanage. The answer is 11.
Q: A vegan restaurant serves three kinds of protein: seitan, beans, and lentils. There are ten dishes on their menu. Two have beans and lentils, and two have beans and seitan. The remaining dishes only have one kind of protein in them. Half of the remaining dishes have only beans, and there are three times as many dishes with only beans as with only seitan. How many dishes include lentils?
A: The vegan restaurant serves 10 - 2 - 2 = 6 dishes with only one kind of protein. There are 6 / 2 = 3 dishes with only beans. There is 3 / 3 = 1 dish with only seitan. Thus, there are 6 - 3 - 1 = 2 dishes with only lentils. There are also 2 dishes with beans and lentils, so there are 2 + 2 = 4 dishes that include lentils. The answer is 4.
Question: Tabitha has 25 dollars. She gives her mom 8 dollars and invests half what is left in a money market. She spends some money on 5 items that costs 50 cents each. How much money does Tabitha have left?
Answer: Tabitha has 25 - 8 = 17 dollars after giving some to her mom. Tabitha has 17 / 2 = 8.5 dollars left after putting some in a money market. The 5 items Tabitha buys totals out to 5 * 0.5 = 2.50 dollars. Tabitha has 8.5 - 2.5 = 6 dollars left. The answer is 6.
[Question]There are 19 marbles in a bowl, 5 of which are yellow. The remainder are split into blue marbles and red marbles in the ratio 3:4 respectively. How many more red marbles than yellow marbles are there?
[Answer]5 out of 19 marbles are yellow so the remainder which is 19 - 5 = 14 marbles are blue and red. 14 marbles are split into blue and red in the ratio 3:4 so each "share" is 14 / (3 + 4) = 2 marbles. There are 4 "shares" of red marbles which totals to 4 * 2 = 8 red marbles. There are 8 - 5 = 3 more red marbles than yellow marbles. The answer is 3.
