Q: Jane brings 75% as many pieces of bread as treats to feed the live pets at the zoo. Wanda brings half as many treats as Jane and three times as many pieces of bread as treats. If Wanda brings 90 pieces of bread, what is the total number of pieces of bread and treats that Wanda and Jane brought to the zoo?
A: Wanda brought 90 pieces of bread, three times the number of treats, so Wanda brought 90 / 3 = 30 treats. Wanda brought half as many treats as Jane, which means Jane brought 30 * 2 = 60 treats. The total number of pieces of bread Jane brought is 75% of the number of treats, which means Jane brought 0.75 * 60 = 45 pieces of bread. Wanda and Jane brought a total of 30 treats + 60 treats + 45 pieces of bread + 90 pieces of bread = 225. The answer is 225.
Question: Abigail is trying a new recipe for a cold drink. It uses 1/4 of a cup of iced tea and 1 and 1/4 of a cup of lemonade to make one drink. If she fills a pitcher with 18 total cups of this drink, how many cups of lemonade are in the pitcher?
Answer: Each drink uses 1.5 cups because 1 / 4 cup + 1 and 1 / 4 cup = 1.5 cups. The pitcher contains 12 total drinks because 18 / 1.5 = 12. There are 15 cups of lemonade in the pitcher because 12 x 1 and 1 / 4 = 15. The answer is 15.
[Question]A hairstylist charges $5 for a normal haircut, $6 for a special haircut, and $8 for a trendy haircut. If he cuts 5 normal haircuts, 3 special haircuts, and 2 trendy haircuts per day, how much money does he earn per week?
[Answer]The hairstylist earns $5 x 5 = $25 for a normal haircut per day. He earns $6 x 3 = $18 for a special haircut. And he earns $8 x 2 = $16 for a trendy haircut. So, the total amount he earns per day is $25 + $18 + $16 = $59. Therefore, a hairstylist earns $59 x 7 = $413 per month. The answer is 413.
Q: Sadie, Ariana and Sarah are running a relay race. Each part of the race is a different length and covers different terrain. It takes Sadie 2 hours to run through the forest at an average speed of 3 miles per hour. Ariana sprints across the open field on her section at 6 miles per hour for half an hour. If Sarah runs along the beach at four miles per hour and their total time for the race is four and half hours, what is the total distance of the race?
A: Sadie ran for 3 miles / hour * 2 hour = 6 miles. Ariana covered a distance of 6 miles / hour * (1 / 2) hour = 3 miles. Sarah ran for 4.5 hours – 2 hours – 0.5 hours = 2 hours. In this time, Sarah traveled a distance of 4 miles / hour * 2 hours = 8 miles. The total distance for the race was 6 miles + 3 miles + 8 miles = 17 miles. The answer is 17.
Question: Gina had $400. She gave 1/4 of her money to her mom, used 1/8 of her money to buy clothes, gave 1/5 of her money to a charity, and kept the remaining money. How much did Gina keep?
Answer: Gina's mom received 1 / 4 x $400 = $100. She used 1 / 8 x $400 = $50 to buy clothes. She gave 1 / 5 x $400 = $80 to a charity. Thus, she spent a total of $100 + $50 + $80 = $230. Therefore, Gina kept $400 - $230 = $170. The answer is 170.
Q: Jane bought pens for her three students. Each student received 62 red pens and 43 black pens. They pooled their pens together and took them from the pool whenever they needed them. After the first month, they had taken a total of 37 pens from the pool. After the second month, they had taken another 41 pens from the pool. Then Jane decided to split the remaining pens equally among them. How many pens will each student get now?
A:
Each student got 62 + 43 = 105 pens to start with. They pooled them to get 105 * 3 = 315 pens in the pool. They took 37 pens in the first month, leaving 315 - 37 = 278 pens in the pool. They took 41 pens in the second month, leaving 278 - 41 = 237 pens in the pool. 237 pens were split into three equal parts to give 237 / 3 = 79 pens each. The answer is 79.
