Question: Hunter needs to make a square patch of land whose perimeter is twice as large as a rectangular patch of land. If the rectangular patch of land has a length of 400 feet and a width of 300 feet, calculate the length of one side of the square patch of land.
Answer: If the rectangular patch of land measures 400 feet by 300 feet, the total length around it or its perimeter is given by 2 * 400 + 2 * 300 = 800 + 600 = 1400. The square patch's perimeter is double that length, so it's 1400 * 2 = 2800. Since the square has four equal sides, one side of the square patch of land will have a length of 2800 / 4 = 700 feet. The answer is 700.
[Question]Princess Daphne bought three necklaces and a set of earrings for a total of $240,000. If all three necklaces were equal in price, and the earrings were three times as expensive as any one necklace, then how expensive was the cost of a single necklace?
[Answer]Let "x" be the price of a single necklace. Thus, the cost of the earrings would be 3x. And since all items totaled $240,000, then x + x + x + 3x = $240,000. Therefore, this simplifies to 6x = 240,000. And, solving for x we see that the price of a single necklace is x = $40,000. The answer is 40000.
[Question]Bob gets paid $5 an hour for the regular hours he works and $6 an hour for any overtime hours he works. All hours over 40 in a week are considered overtime. If Bob works 44 hours in the first week and 48 hours in the second week, how much did he make?
[Answer]
Bob has worked 40 hours / week x 2 weeks = 80 regular hours. Bob got paid 80 hours x $5 / hour = $400 for his regular hours. Bob worked 44 hours - 40 hours = 4 hours of overtime in the first week. Bob worked 48 hours - 40 hours = 8 hours of overtime in the second week. In total Bob worker 8 hours + 4 hours = 12 hours of overtime. Bob got paid $6 / hour x 12 hours = $72 for overtime. In 2 weeks Bob earned $400 + $72 = $472. The answer is 472.
