Question: James decides to go to prom with Susan. He pays for everything. The tickets cost $100 each. Dinner is $120. He leaves a 30% tip. He also charters a limo for 6 hours that cost $80 per hour. How much did it all cost?
Answer: He paid 100 * 2 = $200 for tickets. The tip for dinner was $120 * .3 = $36. So he paid $120 + $36 = $156 for dinner. The limo cost $80 * 6 = $480. In total he paid $200 + $156 + $480 = $836. The answer is 836.
[Question]Leah bought 3 boxes of birdseed. When she went to put them away, she discovered that she already had 5 boxes in the pantry. Her parrot eats 100 grams of seeds each week and her cockatiel eats 50 grams of seeds in a week. If each box of birdseed contains 225 grams, for how many weeks can she feed her birds without going back to the store?
[Answer]In a week, her birds eat a total of 100 grams + 50 grams = 150 grams of seed each week. Leah has a total of 3 + 5 = 8 boxes of birdseed. The boxes of birdseed contain a total of 8 * 225 grams = 1800 grams. This is enough birdseed to feed her pets for 1800 / 150 = 12 weeks. The answer is 12.
Q: Jed collects stamp cards. Every week, he gets 6 cards. But every two weeks, he gives 2 cards to his friends. If Jed started with 20 cards, after how many weeks will he have a total of 40 cards?
A: In the first week, Jed has 20 + 6 = 26 cards. In the second week, he has 26 + 6 = 32 cards. But he is left with 32 - 2 = 30 cards on the 2nd week after giving 2 cards to his friend. Then Jed has 30 + 6 = 36 cards on the 3rd week. He has 36 + 6 = 42 cards on the 4th week. After giving his friend 2 cards, he is then left with 42 - 2 = 40 cards on the 4th week. Hence, Jed will have a total of 40 cards in 4 weeks. The answer is 4.
Question: Lolita has 54000 strawberry seeds. In each planting zone, 3123 seeds will be used. If she will accumulate 7 planting zones, how many strawberry seeds will remain?
Answer: The total amount of seeds used in the planting zones is 3123 x 7 = 21861. The total amount of seeds left after planting is 54000 - 21861 = 32139. The answer is 32139.
[Question]Calvin signed up for a gym training service to lose some pounds. If he weighed 250 pounds to start with and lost 8 pounds every month during the training sessions, what's his weight after one year?
[Answer]Since Calvin loses 10 pounds every month, his total weight loss after one year is 12 * 8 = 96 pounds. Calvin weighs 250 - 96 = 154 pounds after a year of hitting the gym. The answer is 154.
[Question]Jen has 10 more ducks than four times the number of chickens. If Jen has 150 ducks, how many total birds does she have?
[Answer]
Let the number of chickens be c. If there are 150 ducks, we can describe the number of chickens as 150 = 10 + 4c. So, 4c = 150. And, there are c = 35 chickens. In total, Jen has 35 chickens + 150 ducks = 185 birds. The answer is 185.
