[Question]Michael bought 6 crates of egg on Tuesday. He gave out 2 crates to Susan, who he admires and bought another 5 crates on Thursday. If one crate holds 30 eggs, how many eggs does he have now?
[Answer]He had 6 crates and then gave out 2 so he now has 6 - 2 = 4 crates left. He bought an additional 5 crates for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 crates. Each crate has 30 eggs so he has 30 * 9 = 270 eggs. The answer is 270.
Q: Harry is ordering pizza. A large pizza is 14. It costs $2 per topping. He orders 2 large pizzas, each with 3 toppings. He then adds a 25% tip. What is the total cost?
A: The toppings on each pizza are $6 because 3 x 2 = 6. The total for each pizza is $20 because 14 + 6 = 20. The pizzas cost $40 because 2 x 20 = 40. The tip is $10 because 40 x .25 = 10. The total is $50 because 40 + 10 = 50. The answer is 50.
Question: Peter has 15 birds. 1/3 are ducks. The rest are chickens and require special feed that costs $2 per bird. How much does it cost to feed the chickens?
Answer: 2 / 3 of the birds are chickens because 1 - (1 / 3) = 2 / 3. He has 10 chickens because 15 x (2 / 3) = 10. It will cost $20 to feed them because 10 x 2 = 20. The answer is 20.
[Question]Ron's baseball team scored 270 points in the year. There are 9 players on the team. If 5 of them averaged 50 points each, how many points did the remainder average?
[Answer]The first five players scored a total of 250 points because 5 x 50 = 250. There are 4 players left because 9 - 5 = 4. The 4 remaining players scored 20 points because 270 - 250 = 20. The 4 remaining players averaged 5 points because 20 / 4 = 5. The answer is 5.
Q: Andy is making fudge. First he needs to raise the temperature of the candy mixture from 60 degrees to 240 degrees. Then he needs to cool it down to 170 degrees. If the candy heats at 5 degrees/minute and cools at 7 degrees/minute, how long will it take for the candy to be done (in minutes)?
A: First find the total number of degrees the candy needs to heat up: 240 degrees - 60 degrees = 180 degrees. Then divide that amount by the rate the candy heats up: 180 degrees / 5 degrees / minute = 36 minutes. Then find the number of degrees the candy needs to cool down: 240 degrees - 170 degrees = 70 degrees. Then divide that by the rate the candy cool down: 70 degrees / 7 degrees / minute = 10 minutes. Then add the time for the candy to heat to the time for it to cool to find the total time: 10 minutes + 36 minutes = 46 minutes. The answer is 46.
