Q: For every loaf of bread that Ted buys, he needs an additional 2 packs of sandwich meat and 2 packs of sliced cheese to make 10 sandwiches. The bread costs $4.00, the sandwich meat costs $5.00 per pack and the cheese costs $4.00 per pack. He has a $1.00 off coupon for one pack of cheese and an additional $1.00 coupon for one pack of meat. How much does each sandwich cost?
A: He buys 2 packs of sandwich meat at $5.00 a pack so 2 * 5.00 = $10.00. He buys 2 packs of cheese at $4.00 a pack so 2 * 4.00 = $8.00. The loaf of bread cost $4.00 plus $10.00 for meat and $8.00 for cheese so his total is 4 + 10 + 8 = $22.00. He has coupons to use a checkout so his new total is 22 - 1 - 1 = $20.00. He can make 10 sandwiches from his purchase and his purchase total is $20 so 20 / 10 = $2.00. The answer is 2.
Question: Richard starts walking from Cincinnati to New York City, which is 70 miles. Richards walks 20 miles the first day. The next day he walks 6 miles less than half as much as he walked the first day. He walks 10 miles the third day. How many miles further does Richard have to walk to be in New York City?
Answer: The second day Richard walks 20 / 2 - 6 = 4 miles. Richard walks 20 + 4 + 10 = 34 total miles. Richard has 70 - 34 = 36 miles further to walk to be in New York City. The answer is 36.
[Question]An ice cream vendor has 50 chocolate-flavored ice creams and 54 mango-flavored ice creams in his cart. If he sold 3/5 of the chocolate-flavored ice creams and 2/3 of the mango-flavored ice creams, how many total ice creams were not sold?
[Answer]There were a total of 50 + 54 = 104 ice creams. There were 50 x 3 / 5 = 30 chocolate - flavored ice creams sold. There were 54 x 2 / 3 = 36 mango - flavored ice creams sold. A total of 30 + 36 = 66 ice creams were sold. So, 104 - 66 = 38 ice creams were not sold. The answer is 38.
Q: Tracy has a charity book collection store from which she receives book donations from members of her town. Any person who wants to borrow a book is free to do so as long as they return the book after they've finished reading. She has already received 300 book donations. If ten people come and donate five books each in a week, and a total of 140 books are borrowed by other people to read, calculate the total number of books she has remaining in the store?
A: The ten people donated 10 * 5 = 50 books. The total number of books in her store after the new donations is 300 + 50 = 350 books. When some of the books are borrowed, her total collection becomes 350 - 140 = 210 books. The answer is 210.
Question: Miranda wants to buy a pair of heels she saw online. She saved money for 3 months. Her sister heard that she was sad and gave her $50 for her to buy the heels. If she paid $260 in total for the heels, how much money did she save per month?
Answer: First find the total amount of money she saved: $260 - $50 = $210. Then divide that number by the number of months she saved to find the amount she saved each month: $210 / 3 months = $70 / month. The answer is 70.
Q: Jake is from a conservative household so during lunch at school one day, he gave one-quarter of his feeding allowance to a hungry friend. If candies cost 20 cents apiece and Jake's feeding allowance is $4, how many candies can his friend purchase with the money Jake gave to him?
A:
One quarter of $4 is (1 / 4) * $4 = $1. $1 is equivalent to 100 cents. 20 cents will buy 1 candy so 100 cents will buy 100 / 20 = 5 candies. The answer is 5.
