Q: Timmy's parents have a 2 car garage, which has both cars inside it. Also inside is a riding lawnmower, a bicycle for Timmy as well as each of his parents, a tricycle for Timmy's little brother Joey, and a unicycle that Timmy's dad practices riding on. How many wheels in total are in this garage?
A: Each car in the garage has 4 wheels, for a total of 4 * 2 = 8 wheels. The riding lawnmower has 4 wheels, bringing the total up to 8 + 4 = 12 wheels. The bicycles have 2 wheels each and there are 3 of them, for 3 * 2 = 6 wheels, bringing the total to 12 + 6 = 18. The tricycle has 3 wheels, and the unicycle has 1 wheel, bringing the total up to 18 + 1 + 3 = 22 wheels. The answer is 22.
Question: There are 248 pages in a book. Joanna can read 16 pages per hour. On Monday, she reads for 3 hours. On Tuesday, she reads for 6.5 hours. How many more hours does she need to read to finish the book?
Answer: On Monday, Joanna reads 3 * 16 = 48 pages. On Tuesday, Joanna reads 6.5 * 16 = 104 pages. So far, she has read 48 + 104 = 152 pages. Thus, she has 248 - 152 = 96 pages left. She will need to read for 96 / 16 = 6 hours to finish the book. The answer is 6.
[Question]Lauryn owns a computer company that employs men and women in different positions in the company. How many men does he employ if there are 20 fewer men than women and 180 people working for Lauryn?
[Answer]Let's say the number of men working at the company is x. Since there are 180 people, and the number of men is 20 fewer than the number of women, then x + x + 20 = 180. The total number of employees in the company is 2x + 20 = 180. 2x = 180 - 20. 2x = 160. The number of men is x = 160 / 2. There are x = 80 men in the company. The answer is 80.
Q: Emily just purchased 2 pairs of curtains for $30.00 each and 9 wall prints at $15.00 each. The store also offers an installation service. For $50.00 they will come to your house and professionally hang your curtains and prints. If Emily agrees to this service, how much will her entire order cost?
A: She buys 2 pair of curtains for $30.00 each so that's 2 * 30 = $60.00. She buys 9 wall prints at $15.00 each so that's 9 * 15 = $135.00. The curtains cost $60.00, the prints are $135.00 and the installation service is $50.00 for a total of 60 + 135 + 50 = $245.00. The answer is 245.
Question: The buyers who came to Mr. Brandon's shop yesterday bought goods worth $80. If 2/5 of the total amount of sales Mr. Brandon made yesterday were credit sales, and the rest were cash sales, how much did Mr. Brandon get from cash sales?
Answer: 2 / 5 of the total amount of sales Mr. Brandon made yesterday, which were credit purchases, were worth 2 / 5 * $80 = $32. The cash sales that Mr. Brandon made yesterday was $80 - $32 = $48. The answer is 48.
Q: James gets paid $0.50/mile to drive a truck carrying hazardous waste. He has to pay $4.00/gallon for gas and his truck gets 20 miles per gallon. How much profit does he make from a 600 mile trip?
A:
First find the total payment James receives: $0.50 / mile * 600 miles = $300. Then find how many gallons of gas he needs to buy: 600 miles / 20 miles / gallon = 30 gallons. Then multiply that number by the price of gas per gallon to find the total cost of the gas: $4.00 / gallon * 30 gallons = $120. Then subtract that amount from James' earnings to find his profit: $300 - $120 = $180. The answer is 180.
