[Question]Janessa has a plan to give her brother Dexter his first collection of baseball cards. She currently has 4 cards in addition to the 13 that her father gave her. She ordered a collection of 36 cards from eBay. After inspecting the cards she found 4 cards are in bad shape and decides to throw them away. Janessa ended up giving Dexter 29 cards. How many cards did Janessa keep for herself?
[Answer]Janessa starts with 4 cards + 13 cards = 17 cards. She adds 17 cards + 36 cards = 53 cards from the eBay purchase. Janessa decides to throw away 53 cards - 4 cards = 49 cards due to damage. After giving Dexter the present we know that Janessa kept 49 cards - 29 cards = 20 cards for herself. The answer is 20.
Q: John has just turned 39. 3 years ago, he was twice as old as James will be in 6 years. If James' older brother is 4 years older than James, how old is James' older brother?
A: John was 39 - 3 = 36 years old 3 years ago. So that means in 6 years James will be 36 / 2 = 18 years old. So right now James is 18 - 6 = 12 years old. So James's older brother is 12 + 4 = 16 years old. The answer is 16.
Question: Miranda wants to buy a pair of heels she saw online. She saved money for 3 months. Her sister heard that she was sad and gave her $50 for her to buy the heels. If she paid $260 in total for the heels, how much money did she save per month?
Answer: First find the total amount of money she saved: $260 - $50 = $210. Then divide that number by the number of months she saved to find the amount she saved each month: $210 / 3 months = $70 / month. The answer is 70.
[Question]Regina has a farm with animals. She has 20 cows and four times more pigs. Someone told her, that she could sell all the animals and earn $400 for each pig and $800 for each cow. How much money would she earn if she would sell all the animals from the farm?
[Answer]Regina has 4 pigs / cow * 20 cows = 80 pigs. She could sell the pigs for 80 pigs * $400 / pig = $32000. For the cows Regina would get 20 cows * $800 / cow = $16000. In total Regina would earn $16000 + $32000 = $48000. The answer is 48000.
[Question]John runs a telethon to raise money. For the first 12 hours, he generates $5000 per hour. The remaining 14 hours, he generates 20% more per hour. How much total money does he make?
[Answer]
He gets 12 * 5000 = $60000 for the first 12 hours. For the next 14 hours, he gets 5000 * .2 = $1000 more per hour. So he gets 5000 + 1000 = $6000 per hour. So he gets 6000 * 14 = $84000. So in total, he makes 84000 + 60000 = $144,000. The answer is 144000.
