Q: If Pete read twice as many books as Matt did last year, and this year he doubles that number while Matt reads only 50% more, how many books does Pete read across both years if Matt read 75 books in his second year?
A: First, we need to find the amount Matt read both years to establish what Pete read, so to find Matt's first - year total we multiply 75 / 1.5 = 50 books the previous year. Since Pete read twice as many books as Matt did in the first year, and Matt's first - year total is 50, this means Pete read 50 * 2 = 100 books his first year. Since Pete doubled the number of books he read the following year, this means Pete read 100 * 2 = 200 books the following year. We add the two years of Pete's reading together to find 200 + 100 = 300 books read in total. The answer is 300.
Question: Louie sells Dodge, Hyundai, and Kia vehicles, and his company has 400 vehicles for sale on the store's parking lot. Half of the vehicles on the lot are Dodge, and there are half as many Hyundai vehicles on the lot as there are Dodge vehicles. How many Kia vehicles are on the lot?
Answer: Half of the 400 vehicles for sale on the lot are Dodges, or a total of 400 / 2 = 200 Dodge vehicles. Since there are half as many Hyundai vehicles on the lot as there are Dodge vehicles, then there are 200 / 2 = 100 Hyundai vehicles on the lot. Since the remainder of the vehicles are Kias, then there are 400 - 200 - 100 = 100 Kia vehicles for sale on the lot. The answer is 100.
[Question]Tony lifts weights as a form of exercise. He can lift 90 pounds with one arm in the exercise known as "the curl." In an exercise known as "the military press," he can lift over his head twice the weight that he can curl. His favorite exercise is known as "the squat" and he can squat 5 times the weight that he can lift in the military press. How much weight, in pounds, can Tony lift in the squat exercise?
[Answer]If Tony can curl 90 pounds, he can military press 2 * 90 = 180 pounds. Therefore, Tony can squat 5 * 180 = 900 pounds. The answer is 900.
Q: Jill is the hairdresser for the school's dance team and has to braid 8 dancers' hair. If each dancer has five braids and each braid takes 30 seconds, how many minutes will it take to braid all the dancers' hair?
A: First find the total number of braids among all the dancers: 8 dancers * 5 braids / dancer = 40 braids. Then multiply by that the time in seconds per braid to find the total time in seconds: 40 braids * 30 seconds / braid = 1200 seconds. Then divide the time in seconds by the number of seconds per minute to find the time in minutes: 1200 seconds / 60 seconds / minute = 20 minutes. The answer is 20.
Question: Kyle has $12 less than 3 times what Dave has. Kyle then spends a third of it going snowboarding. If Dave has $46, how much money does Kyle have?
