Q: A school is buying virus protection software to cover 50 devices. One software package costs $40 and covers up to 5 devices. The other software package costs $60 and covers up to 10 devices. How much money, in dollars, can the school save by buying the $60 software package instead of the $40 software package?
A: There are 50 / 5 = 10 sets of 5 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $40 x 10 = $400 for the $40 software package. There are 50 / 10 = 5 sets of 10 devices in the school. So the school will pay a total of $60 x 5 = $300 for the $60 software package. Thus, the school can save $400 - $100 = $300 from buying the $60 software instead of the $40 software package. The answer is 100.
Question: A judge oversaw seventeen court cases. Two were immediately dismissed from court. Two-thirds of the remaining cases were ruled innocent, one ruling was delayed until a later date, and the rest were judged guilty. On how many cases did the judge rule guilty?
Answer: The judge dismissed 2 cases, leaving 17 - 2 = 15 cases. Of the remaining 15 cases, 2 / 3 * 15 = 10 were ruled innocent. One ruling was delayed, so the judge ruled guilty on 15 - 10 - 1 = 4 cases. The answer is 4.
[Question]There are 2,000 kids in camp. If half of the kids are going to soccer camp, and 1/4 of the kids going to soccer camp are going to soccer camp in the morning, how many kids are going to soccer camp in the afternoon?
[Answer]There are 2000 / 2 = 1000 kids going to soccer camp. There are 1000 / 4 = 250 kids going to soccer camp in the morning. There are 250 * 3 = 750 kids going to soccer camp in the afternoon. The answer is 750.
Q: Natalie bought some food for a party she is organizing. She bought two cheesecakes, an apple pie, and a six-pack of muffins. The six-pack of muffins was two times more expensive than the cheesecake, and one cheesecake was only 25% cheaper than the apple pie. If the apple pie cost $12, how much did Natalie pay for all her shopping?
A: One cheesecake was 30% cheaper than the apple pie, which means, it was 25 / 100 * 12 = $3 cheaper. So for one cheesecake, Natalie needed to pay 12 - 3 = $9. The six - pack of muffins was two times more expensive than the cheesecake, which means its price was 9 * 2 = $18. So for two cheesecakes, Natalie paid also 9 * 2 = $18. So for all her shopping she paid 18 + 18 + 12 = $48. The answer is 48.
