Question: To run his grocery store, Mr. Haj needs $4000 a day. This money is used to pay for orders done, delivery costs and employees' salaries. If he spends 2/5 of the total operation costs on employees' salary and 1/4 of the remaining amount on delivery costs, how much money does he pay for the orders done?
Answer: The total amount of money Mr. Haj used to pay for employee salary is 2 / 5 * $4000 = $1600. After paying the employee salaries, Mr. Haj remains with $4000 - $1600 = $2400. He also uses 1 / 4 * $2400 = $600 on delivery costs. The remaining amount of money that he uses to pay for orders is $2400 - $600 = $1800. The answer is 1800.
[Question]Makenna is selling candy for her Softball Team. The box contains 25 milk chocolate bars, 25 dark chocolate bars, 25 milk chocolate with almond bars, and 25 white chocolate bars. What is the percentage of each type of chocolate bar?
[Answer]Since there are four types of chocolate bars and each type has 25 bars, the total number of chocolate bars is 25 * 4 = 100. Since there is a total of 100 chocolate bars and four types of chocolate, we divide 100 / 4 = 25%. The answer is 25.
Q: Rhett has been late on two of his monthly rent payments, but his landlord does not charge late fees and so he will be able to pay their total cost with 3/5 of his next month's salary after taxes. If he is currently paid $5000 per month and has to pay 10% tax, calculate his rent expense per month?
A: If Rhett is currently paid $5000 per month, he pays 10 / 100 * $5000 = $500 in taxes. Rhett has been late on two of his monthly rent payments and plans to pay them with 3 / 5 * $4500 = $2700 from his salary after taxes. If he is to pay $2700 for two late monthly rent payments, his monthly rent expense is $2700 / 2 = $1350. The answer is 1350.
Question: Joan wants to visit her family who live 480 miles away. If she drives at a rate of 60 mph and takes a lunch break taking 30 minutes, and 2 bathroom breaks taking 15 minutes each, how many hours did it take her to get there?
Answer: The driving time is 480 / 60 = 8 hours. The time for breaks was 30 + 15 + 15 = 60 minutes. So she spent 60 / 60 = 1 hour for rest stops. So it took her 8 + 1 = 9 hours. The answer is 9.
[Question]When three friends sold their video games, Ryan, the first of the three friends, received $50 more than Jason from his sales. Jason received 30% more money than Zachary from selling his video games. If Zachary sold 40 games at $5 each, calculate the total amount of money the three friends received together from the sale of the video games.
[Answer]The total amount of money that Zachary received from selling his video games is $40 * 5 = $200. Jason received 30 / 100 * $200 = $60 more than the amount Zachary received after selling his games. The total amount of money that Jason received is $60 + $200 = $260. Together, Zachary and Jason received $260 + $200 = $460 from the sale of their video games. Ryan received $260 + $50 = $310 from the sale of his video games. The three friends made a total of $310 + $460 = $770 from the sale of the video games. The answer is 770.
[Question]Ned opens a left-handed store. He sells left-handed mice. They cost 30% more than normal mice. He sells 25 a day and his store is open every day except Sunday, Thursday, and Friday. If normal mice cost $120 how much money does he make a week?
[Answer]
The left - hand mice cost 120 * .3 = $36 more than right - handed ones. So they cost 120 + 36 = $156. So he makes 156 * 25 = $3900 a day. The store is open 7 - 3 = 4 days a week. So in a week, he makes 3900 * 4 = $15,600. The answer is 15600.
