Question: Tom is playing a game and gets 10 points for killing an enemy. If he kills at least 100 enemies he gets a 50% bonus to his score. What was his total score if he killed 150 enemies?
Answer: He gets 150 * 10 = 1500 points. The bonus is worth 1500 * .5 = 750 points. So his total score is 1500 + 750 = 2250 points. The answer is 2250.
[Question]A soccer team has 24 players. They have scored 150 goals on the season. There have been 15 games played. 1/3 of the players have averaged 1 goal each per game. How many total goals have the other players scored?
[Answer]8 players have averaged 1 goal a game because 24 x (1 / 3) = 8. These players average a total of 8 goals a game because 8 x 1 = 8. These players have scored 120 goals because 8 x 15 = 120. The remaining players have scored 30 total goals because 150 - 120 = 30. The answer is 30.
Q: Daria is raising money for a new vacuum cleaner. So far, she has collected $20 in her piggy bank and has decided to put $10 in it each week. If the vacuum cleaner costs $120, how many weeks will it take her to raise enough money to cover this expense?
A: The vacuum cleaner costs $120, so Daria needs 120 - 20 = $100 more. Daria will need 100 / 10 = 10 more weeks, to be able to buy the vacuum cleaner. The answer is 10.
Question: Tom plays an online trading card game. His deck has 19 rare cards, 11 uncommon, and 30 commons. The rare cards cost $1, the uncommon are $.50, and the commons are $.25 each. How much did his deck cost?
Answer: The rares cost 19 * 1 = $19. The uncommon cards cost 11 * .5 = $5.5. The commons cost 30 * .25 = $7.5. So the total cost 19 + 5.5 + 7.5 = $32. The answer is 32.
[Question]Kylie and Kayla pick apples together and take home 340 apples total. If Kayla picked 10 more than 4 times the amount of apples that Kylie picked, how many apples did Kayla pick?
[Answer]Let x be the number of apples Kylie picked. Kayla picked 10 + 4x apples. 340 = x + (10 + 4x). 340 = 5x + 10. 330 = 5x. x = 66 apples. Kayla picked 10 + 4(66) = 274 apples. The answer is 274.
[Question]A man is trying to maximize the amount of money he saves each month. In particular, he is trying to decide between two different apartments. The first apartment costs $800 per month in rent and will cost an additional $260 per month in utilities. The second apartment costs $900 per month and will cost an additional $200 per month in utilities. The first apartment is slightly further from the man's work, and the man would have to drive 31 miles per day to get to work. The second apartment is closer, and the man would only have to drive 21 miles to get to work. According to the IRS, each mile a person drives has an average cost of 58 cents. If the man must drive to work 20 days each month, what is the difference between the total monthly costs of these two apartments after factoring in utility and driving-related costs (to the nearest whole dollar)?
[Answer]
The mileage cost for the first apartment will be 31 * 20 * 0.58 = $359.60. This makes the total monthly cost of the first apartment 359.60 + 800 + 260 = $1419.60. Similarly, the mileage cost for the second apartment will be 21 * 20 * 0.58 = $243.60. Thus, the total monthly cost of the second apartment is 243.60 + 900 + 200 = 1343.60. Therefore, the difference in total monthly costs is 1419.60 - 1343.60 = $76. The answer is 76.
