Q: Mary had 89 stickers. She used 3 large stickers on the front page of her journal and 7 stickers each to 6 other pages of her journal. How many stickers does Mary have remaining?
A: Mary added a total of 7 stickers / page * 6 pages = 42 stickers to the 6 other pages. In total, Mary added 3 large stickers + 42 stickers = 45 stickers to her journal. Since she started with 89 stickers, she now has 89 - 45 = 44 stickers left. The answer is 44.
Question: Last year Dallas was 3 times the age of his sister Darcy. Darcy is twice as old as Dexter who is 8 right now. How old is Dallas now?
Answer: Darcy = 2 * Dexter = 2 * 8 = 16. Last year Darcy was 16 - 1 = 15. Dallas was 3 times Darcy last year = 3 * 15 = 45. Dallas is a year older now = 45 + 1 = 46. Dallas is 46 years old now. The answer is 46.
[Question]Timothy has $50 to spend at a souvenir shop. He sees some t-shirts that cost $8 each, key chains that sell 3 pieces for $2, and bags that cost $10 each. Timothy buys 2 t-shirts and 2 bags. How many pieces of key chains can he buy with the amount of money he has left?
[Answer]The two t - shirts amount to $8 x 2 = $16. The two bags amount to $10 x 2 = $20. So Timothy spent $16 + $20 = $36 for the shirts and bags. He still has $50 - $36 = $14 left to spend for the key chains. With the money, he can buy $14 / $2 = 7 sets of key chains. Therefore, he can buy 7 x 3 = 21 pieces of key chains. The answer is 21.
Q: Luna's monthly food budget is equal to 60% of her house rental budget while her phone bill budget is 10% of her food budget. If the total budget of house rental and food budget is $240, how much is Luna's total monthly budget to pay all those expenses?
A: Let x be Luna's house rental budget. The total budget for house and food rental is represented by the equation x + (60x / 100) = 240. The equation becomes 100x + 60x = 24000 after multiplying each term by 100 to get rid of the fraction. By combining like terms, the equation becomes 160x = 24000. Thus, the value of x is 24000 / 160 = 150 which represents the house rental budget. So, Luna's food budget is $240 - $150 = $90. Her phone bill budget is $90 x 10 / 100 = $9. Therefore, Luna's monthly budget for all those expenses is $240 (house and food) + $9 (phone) = $249. The answer is 249.
Question: The county fair was hosting a pumpkin contest to see who could grow the biggest pumpkin in pounds. Brad entered his pumpkin with a weight of 54 pounds. Jessica's was half the weight of Brad's. Betty's pumpkin weight 4 times the amount of Jessica's pumpkin. What is the difference between the heaviest and lightest pumpkin in pounds?
Answer: Jessica's pumpkin weighs half the weight of Brad's 54 - pound pumpkin so 54 / 2 = 27 pounds. Betty's pumpkin weighs 4 times the amount of Jessica's 27 - pound pumpkin so it weighs 4 * 27 = 108. Betty has the heaviest pumpkin at 108 pounds while Jessica's is the lowest at 27 pounds so the difference is 108 - 27 = 81 pounds. The answer is 81.
