Q: Rollo has 3 guinea pigs, the first guinea pig eats 2 cups of food, the second guinea pig eats twice as much as the first one, and the third guinea pig eats 3 cups more than the second one. How many cups of food does Rollo need to feed all his Guinea pigs?
A: The second guinea pig eats 2 x 2 = 4 cups of food. The third guinea pig eats 4 + 3 = 7 cups of food. Therefore, Rollo needs a total of 2 + 4 + 7 = 13 cups of food for the guinea pig. The answer is 13.
Question: MegaCorp got caught leaking carcinogens into the water supply and is being fined 1% of its annual profits. Every day MegaCorp earns $3,000,000 from mining and $5,000,000 from oil refining. Its monthly expenses are $30,000,000. How much is MegaCorp's fine in dollars?
Answer: First find MegaCorp's total daily profits: $3,000,000 + $5,000,000 = $8,000,000. Then multiply that number by the number of days in a year to find their annual profits: 365 days / year * $8,000,000 = $2,920,000,000. Then multiply their monthly expenses by the number of months in a year to find their annual expenses: $30,000,000 / month * 12 months = $360,000,000. Then subtract their annual expenses from their annual earnings to find their annual profit: $2920000000 - $360,000,000 = $2,560,000,000. Then multiply the annual profits by the percentage paid for the fine to find the value of the fine in dollars: $2,560,000,000 * 1% = $25,600,000. The answer is 25600000.

Q: A small pizza has 6 slices, a medium pizza has 8 slices whereas a large pizza has 12 slices. How many slices of pizza will you have if you bought a total of 15 pizzas and you know you ordered 4 small pizzas and 5 medium pizzas?
A: We know that 4 small pizzas and 5 medium pizzas = 4 + 5 = 9 non - large pizzas were purchased. Because a total of 15 pizzas were purchased then 15 - 9 = 6 large pizzas were ordered. If 1 small pizza has 6 slices then 4 small pizzas will have 4 * 6 = 24 slices. Similarly, If 1 medium pizza has 8 slices then 5 medium pizzas will have 5 * 8 = 40 slices. Similarly, If 1 large pizza has 12 slices then 6 large pizzas will have 6 * 12 = 72 slices. That means in total we have 24 small slices + 40 medium slices + 72 large slices = 24 + 40 + 72 = 136 slices of pizza. The answer is 136.

Q: It is recommended that men should consume no more than 150 calories of added sugar per day. Mark took a soft drink in the afternoon that contained 2500 calories, 5% of which was from added sugar. Then he bought some bars of candy which had 25 calories of added sugar each. If he eventually exceeded the recommended intake of added sugar by 100%, how many bars of candy did he take?
A:
He consumed 2500 calories, 5% of which is added sugar to give 2500 * (5 / 100) = 125 calories of added sugar. He exceeded the recommended intake of 150 calories by 100% for a total consumption of 150 + (150(100 / 100)) = $300. This means he took in 300 - 125 = 175 calories from candy alone. Each candy had 25 calories so 175 calories which means he consumed 175 / 25 = 7 bars?. The answer is 7.
