[Question]Carl caused a car accident that resulted in $40,000 worth of property damage and $70,000 worth of medical bills. If Carl's insurance company will pay 80% of the costs, leaving Carl to pay the remaining 20%, how much does Carl personally owe?
[Answer]First find the total cost of the accident: $40,000 + $70,000 = $110,000. Then multiply the total cost by the percentage Carl has to pay to find his personal cost: $110,000 * .2 = $22,000. The answer is 22000.
Q: New York recorded 5000 new coronavirus cases on a particular week. In the second week, half as many new coronaviruses cases as the first week was recorded by the state. In the third week, 2000 more cases were recorded in the state. What is the total number of recorded new coronaviruses in the state after the three weeks?
A: If there were 5000 new cases on the first week, the total for the second week is 1 / 2 * 5000 cases = 2500 cases. The total number of new coronavirus cases in the three weeks is 2500 cases + 5000 cases + 2000 cases = 9500 cases. The answer is 9500.
Question: To keep himself busy in class, Michael makes rubber-band balls. He makes two sizes, large and small. A small ball uses 50 rubber bands. A large ball requires 300 rubber bands. Michael brought a 5,000 pack to class and already made 22 small balls. How many large balls can he make with the remaining rubber bands?
Answer: Michael has used 1,100 rubber bands because 22 x 50 = 1,100. Michael has 3,900 rubber bands remaining because 5,000 - 1,100 = 3,900. Michael can make 13 large balls because 3,900 / 300 = 13. The answer is 13.
