Question: The Arevalo family went out to dinner. The smoky salmon costs $40, the black burger costs $15, and the chicken katsu costs $25. If the bill includes a 10% service charge and 5% tip, how much change will Mr. Arevalo receive from his $100?
Answer: The total amount spent on food is $40 + $15 + $25 = $80. The service charge is $80 x 10 / 100 = $8. The tip is $80 x 5 / 100 = $4. So, Mr. Arevalo had to pay $80 + $8 + $4 = $92 in all. Therefore, his change will only be $100 - $92 = $8. The answer is 8.
[Question]A couple's wedding reception had 180 people. The bride and groom had each invited 20 couples from their side of the family. The remaining guests were friends. How many friends attended the reception?
[Answer]From the bride's side, 20 couples * 2 guests / couple = 40 guests attended. From the groom's side, 20 couples * 2 guests / couple = 40 guests attended. Therefore 180 guests - (40 guests + 40 guests) = 100 friends attended the reception. The answer is 100.
[Question]Cathy and Chris got summer jobs at the cake shop and were supposed to work 20 hours per week each for 2 months. During that time, Chris got sick for one week and Cathy took her shifts. If there are four weeks in a month, how many hours did Cathy work during the 2 months?
[Answer]
There are 4 weeks in a month so Cathy and Chris were supposed to work for 4 weeks / month x 2 months = 8 weeks each. Since Chris got sick then Chris was only able to work for 8 weeks - 1 week = 7 weeks while Cathy worked for 8 weeks + 1 week = 9 weeks. Therefore, Cathy worked for 9 weeks x 20 hours / week = 180 hours. The answer is 180.
