Answer: The cost of the ice cream is 10 × $4 = $40. The cost of the frozen yoghurt is 4 × $1 = $4. Caleb spent $40 − $4 = $36 more on ice cream than on frozen yogurt. The answer is 36.
[Question]John orders food for a massive restaurant. He orders 1000 pounds of beef for $8 per pound. He also orders twice that much chicken at $3 per pound. How much did everything cost?
[Answer]The beef cost $8 * 1000 = $8000. He buys 1000 * 2 = 2000 pounds of chicken. So the chicken cost 2000 * $3 = $6000. So the total cost is $8000 + $6000 = $14,000. The answer is 14000.
Q: If there are two pennies in each of the twelve compartments of Roshesmina's piggy bank and she adds 6 more pennies to each compartment, calculate the total number of pennies she has?
A: In each compartment, there are two pennies, and when she adds 6 pennies to each compartment, one compartment will have 6 + 2 = 8 pennies. If there are 12 compartments, and each compartment now contains 8 pennies, there are a total of 12 * 8 = 96 pennies in all the compartments. The answer is 96.
Question: A carpenter is building a house. He needs 80 woodblocks to build it. If he has 8 logs that can make five woodblocks each, how many logs does the carpenter still need?
Answer: The carpenter initially has 8 x 5 = 40 blocks of wood. So he still lacks 80 - 40 = 40 blocks of wood. Therefore he still needs 40 / 5 = 8 logs of wood. The answer is 8.
[Question]The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area is 100 m2. what is the length of the rectangle?
[Answer]Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle. Hence L = 4 * W. We now use the area to write 80 = L * W. Substitute L by 4 W in the equation above 80 = 4 * W × W = 4 W^2. Solve for W and find L. 4 W^2 = 100. W^2 = 25, W = 5 and. L = 4 * 5 = 20 m. The answer is 20.
[Question]Aitana and Jayda went to Silverlake Flea market to buy some handmade crafts. Aitana spent 2/5 times more money than Jayda at the market. If Jayda spent $400, calculate the total amount of money they spent together.
[Answer]
If Jayda spent $400 at the market, Aitana spent 2 / 5 * 400 = $160 more on handmade crafts. Since Aitana spent $160 more than Jayda at the market, she spent $400 + $160 = $560. The total amount of money they spent together is $400 + $560 = $960. The answer is 960.
