Q: Tom's puts 30 miles per day on his bike for the first 183 days of the year. For the rest of the days of the year he goes 35 miles per day. How many miles does he drive for the year?
A: For the first 183 days he drives 183 * 30 = 5490 miles. There are 365 - 183 = 182 days left in the year. He drives 35 * 182 = 6370 for those days. So in total he drives 5490 + 6370 = 11,860. The answer is 11860.
Question: Jason drives past 3 convenience stores on his way to work. The distance between the first store and the second store is 6 miles. The distance between the second store and third store is 2/3rds longer than the distance between the first two stores. The distance from his house to the first store and the last store to work is the same, 4 miles. How long in miles is Jason's commute to work?
Answer: First find the additional distance between the second store and the third store: 6 miles * 2 / 3 = 4 miles. Then add that to the distance between the first two stores to find the total distance between the second and third stores: 4 miles + 6 miles = 10 miles. Then add the distance between the first two stores, the distance from Jason's house to the first store, and the distance from the last store to work: 10 miles + 6 miles + 4 miles + 4 miles = 24 miles. The answer is 24.
[Question]A Printing shop needs to ship 5000 brochures to an advertising company. Each box can only contain one-fifth of the brochures. How many boxes are needed to ship those brochures?

Q: Ten boys brought 15 popsicle sticks each. Twelve girls brought 12 popsicle sticks each. How many fewer popsicle sticks did the girls bring than the boys?
A: The boys brought a total of 10 x 15 = 150 popsicle sticks. The girls brought a total of 12 x 12 = 144 popsicle sticks. Therefore, the girls brought 150 - 144 = 6 fewer popsicle sticks than the boys. The answer is 6.

Q: Janet buys 3 pounds of broccoli for $4 a pound, 3 oranges for $0.75 each, a cabbage for $3.75, a pound of bacon for $3, and two pounds of chicken for $3 a pound. What percentage of her grocery budget did she spend on meat, rounded to the nearest percent?
A:
First find the total cost of the broccoli: 3 pounds * $4 / pound = $12. Then find the total cost of the oranges: 3 oranges * $0.75 / orange = $2.25. Then find the total cost of the vegetables: $12 + $2.25 + $3.75 = $18. Then find the total cost of the chicken: $3 / pound * 2 pounds = $6. Then add the cost of the bacon to find the total cost of the meat: $6 + $3 = $9. Then add the cost of the meat and vegetables to find the total cost of the groceries: $9 + $18 = $27. Then divide the cost of the meat by the total grocery bill and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: $9 / $27 * 100% = 33.333%, which rounds down to 33%. The answer is 33.
