[Question]Stacy just bought a 6 month prescription of flea & tick medicine for her dog for $150.00 online. Her cashback app was offering 10% cashback and she has a mail-in rebate for $25.00 on a 6-month prescription. How much will the medicine cost after cash back and rebate offers?
[Answer]Her cash back app gave her 10% back on $150.00 so that's .10 * 150 = $15.00 cash back. She received $15.00 from the cashback app and has a $25.00 mail - in rebate for a total of 15 + 25 = $40.00 discounts. She spent $150.00 for the medicine and has $40.00 worth of discounts so the medicine will cost 150 - 40 = $110.00. The answer is 110.
Q: Johnson owns a hectare cornfield that can yield 80 corn every two months, while his neighbor owns a two-hectare cornfield and each hectare can yield twice the amount as Johnson. How much corn can they harvest altogether after six months?
A: Each hectare of Johnson's neighbor can yield 80 x 2 = 160 corns every two months. So, the neighbor's two - hectare cornfield can yield a total of 160 x 2 = 320 corns every two months. They yield a total of 80 + 320 = 400 corns. Therefore, They can harvest 400 x 3 = 1200 corns altogether. The answer is 1200.
Question: John injures his shoulder while lifting weights. After the injury, his bench press goes down 80%. After a bit of training, he manages to triple the weight he can bench. If he started with a 500-pound bench press, what is it now?
Answer: He lost 500 * .8 = 400 pounds from his bench. So his bench went to 500 - 400 = 100 pounds. After training it increased to 100 * 3 = 300 pounds. The answer is 300.
[Question]A group of 6 students organized a fundraiser to go to Nicaragua for the summer. For them to go on the trip, each of them needs at least $450. On top of that, they need $3000 for their miscellaneous collective expenses. On the first day of their fundraiser, they receive $600. On the second day, they receive $900, and on the third day, they receive $400. For the next 4 days, they receive only half of what they raised on the first 3 days. How much more money does each person need to raise for them to reach their goal?
[Answer]All together, they need to raise ($450 x 6) + $3000 = $5700. The raised $600 + $900 + $400 = $1900 the first 3 days. For the next 4 days, they only raised $1900 / 2 = $950. In the week, they raised $1900 + $950 = $2850. They still need $5700 - $2850 = $2850. Each person still needs $2850 / 6 = $475. The answer is 475.
Q: Harry wants to build a homemade helium balloon with his son, Kevin, so he and Kevin go to the store with $200. They buy a giant sheet to turn into a balloon for $42, a rope for $18, and a propane tank and burner for $14. They plan to use the rest of the money on helium. The helium is $1.50 per ounce. For every ounce they buy, the balloon can fly 113 feet higher. How many feet up can they fly the balloon?
A: They have $126 for helium because 200 - 42 - 18 - 14 = 126. They can buy 84 ounces of helium because 126 / 1.5 = 84. They can fly 9,492 feet up because 84 x 113 = 9,492. The answer is 9492.
Question: The minimum age required to be employed at a company is 25 years. Dara aspires to work for the company and will be half the age of Jane in six years. If Jane is currently working for the company and is 28 years old, how long is it before Dara reaches the minimum age required by the company to be employed?
Answer:
In six years, Jane will be 28 + 6 = 34 years old. Dara will be half the age of Jane in six years, meaning she will be 34 / 2 = 17 years old in six years. Currently, Dara is 17 - 6 = 11 years old. Dara has to wait for 25 - 11 = 14 more years to reach the company's minimum age of employment. The answer is 14.
