[Question]Mike and Ted planted tomatoes. In the morning, Mike planted 50 tomato seeds while Ted planted twice as much as Mike. In the afternoon, Mike planted 60 tomato seeds while Ted planted 20 fewer tomato seeds than Mike. How many tomato seeds did they plant altogether?
[Answer]Ted planted 2 x 50 = 100 tomato seeds. So, Mike and Ted planted 50 + 100 = 150 tomato seeds in the morning. In the afternoon, Ted planted 60 - 20 = 40 seeds. Thus, Mike and Ted planted 60 + 40 = 100 tomato seeds in the afternoon. Therefore, they planted 150 + 100 = 250 tomato seed altogether. The answer is 250.
Q: Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has in her son's savings account. Ariella's account earns her simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum. If Daniella has $400, how much money will Arialla have after two years?
A: If Ariella has $200 more in her son's saving account than Daniella has, then she has $400 + $200 = $600. If she earns an interest of 10% in the first year, her savings account increases by 10 / 100 * $600 = $60. In the second year, she earns the same amount of interest, which $60 + $60 = $120. The total amount of money in Ariella's account after two years is $600 + $120 = $720. The answer is 720.
Question: Joan is at the grocery store. She has a total of $60 to spend. She is going to purchase 2 containers of hummus, which are $5 each. She is going to purchase chicken for $20, bacon for $10, and vegetables for $10. She wants to purchase apples which are $2 each. With her remaining money, how many apples can she purchase?
Answer: The total cost of the hummus is 2 * $5 = $10. The total cost of the chicken, bacon, and vegetables is $20 + $10 + $10 = $40. The remaining money she has is $60 - $10 - $40 = $10. The amount of apples she can purchase is $10 / $2 = 5. The answer is 5.
