Question: Robby, Jaylen and Miranda are employed at a Cheesecake factory, earning $10 per hour. They work 10 hours a day, five days a week. Robby saves 2/5 of his salary, Jaylene saves 3/5 of his salary, while Miranda saves half of her salary. What are the combined savings of the three employees after four weeks?
Answer: In a day, each of them earns $10 / hour * 10 hours / day = $100 / day. The total number of days each of them work in a month is five days per week * 4 weeks = 20 days. If each of them earns $100 per day, in 20 days, they'll earn 20 days / month * $100 / day = $2000 / month. Robby saves 2 / 5 * $2000 = $800 from his salary. Jaylene's savings is 3 / 5 * $2000 = $1200 of her salary. Miranda saves 1 / 2 * $2000 = $1000 from her salary. The total saving for the three employees is $1000 + $1200 + $800 = $3000. The answer is 3000.
[Question]Tommy has a flag that is 5 feet wide and 4 feet tall. He wants to paint it with a new design. He knows from experience that he needs to paint both sides. Paint costs $2 a quart and a quart is good for 4 square feet. How much does he spend on paint?
[Answer]Each side of the flag is 20 square feet because 5 x 4 = 20. Both side total to 40 square feet because 2 x 20 = 40. He will need 10 quarts because 40 / 4 = 10. This will cost $20 because 10 x 2 = 20. The answer is 20.
Q: Greg has his own dog walking business. He charges $20 per dog plus $1 per minute per dog for walking the dog. If he walks one dog for 10 minutes, two dogs for 7 minutes and three dogs for 9 minutes, how much money, in dollars, does he earn?
A: Single dog is $20 + (10 minutes * $1 per minute) = $30. Two dogs are 2 * ($20 + (7 minutes * $1 per minute)) = $54. Three dogs are 3 * ($20 + (9 minutes * $1 per minute)) = $87. The total is $30 + $54 + $87 = $171. The answer is 171.
Question: Cynthia harvested 67 potatoes from her garden. After washing them, she cut 13 of them into wedges. She then halved the remaining potatoes and made french fries with one half, and potato chips with the other half. If one potato can be cut into 8 wedges or make 20 potato chips, how many more potato chips than wedges did Cynthia make?
Answer: Cynthia was left with 67 - 13 = 54 potatoes after making wedges. She used 54 / 2 = 27 potatoes to make potato chips. Cynthia made 13 x 8 = 104 wedges. She made 27 x 20 = 540 potato chips. Cynthia made 540 - 104 = 436 more potato chips than wedges. The answer is 436.
[Question]Antoine owns a strawberry farm that supplies strawberries to his local bakeries. The first bakery needs 2 sacks, the second bakery needs 4 sacks, and the third bakery needs 12 sacks of strawberries per week. How many sacks of strawberries does he need to supply all the bakeries in 4 weeks?
[Answer]The first bakery needs 2 x 4 = 8 sacks of strawberries per month. The second bakery needs 4 x 4 = 16 sacks of strawberries per month. The third bakery needs 12 x 4 = 48 sacks of strawberries per month. Therefore, Antoine needs 48 + 16 + 8 = 72 sacks of strawberries to supply all the bakeries for a month. The answer is 72.
[Question]An aqua park charges $12 admission and $6 for a tour. A group of 10 people goes to the aquarium and takes the tour; while a group of 5 people only goes to the aquarium. How much does the aqua park earn?
[Answer]
A group of 10 people is charged $12 + $6 = $18 each. So, 10 people pay $18 x 10 = $180. A group of 5 people pays $12 x 5 = $60 for the admission. Thus, the aqua park earns a total of $180 + $60 = $240. The answer is 240.
