[Question]Millie, Monica, and Marius are taking subjects for school. Millie takes three more subjects than Marius, who takes 4 subjects more than Monica. If Monica took 10 subjects, how many subjects all take altogether?
[Answer]If Monica took ten subjects, Marius took 10 + 4 = 14 subjects. Marius and Monica have 14 + 10 = 24 subjects which they've taken. Since Millie is taking three more subjects than Marius, she is taking 14 + 3 = 17 subjects. Together, the three have taken 24 + 17 = 41 subjects. The answer is 41.
Q: Hansel makes $30,000 a year and just received a 10% raise. Gretel makes the same amount as Hansel but received a 15% raise. How much more money will Gretel make compared to Hansel?
A: Hansel makes $30,000 and received a 10% raise so his raise is 30,000 * .10 = $3,000.00. Hansel now makes 30,000 + 3,000 = $33,000 a year. Gretel makes $30,000 and received a 15% raise so her raise is 30,000 * .15 = $4,500.00. Gretel now makes 30,000 + 4,500 = $34,500 a year. If Gretel makes $34,500 a year and Hansel makes $33,000 then Gretel makes 34,500 - 33,000 = $1,500 more a year than Hansel. The answer is 1500.
Question: Matthew and his brother Shawn played swimming-pool-basketball. Each basket was worth 3 points. Matthew scored 9 points. Shawn scored 6 points. What is the total number of baskets made during this game?
Answer: Matthew scored 9 points and there are 3 points per basket, so he made 9 / 3 = 3 baskets. Shawn scored 6 points, so he made 6 / 3 = 2 baskets. The total number of baskets made is 3 + 2 = 5 baskets made. The answer is 5.
[Question]Three towns, Toadon, Gordonia, and Lake Bright, have 80000 people. Gordonia has 1/2 times the total population in the three cities. If the population of Toadon is 60 percent of Gordonia's population, how many people live in Lake Bright?
[Answer]The population of Gordonia is 1 / 2 * 80000 people = 40000 people. Toadon has 60 / 100 * 40000 people = 24000 people. The total population of Gordonia and Toadon is 40000 people + 24000 people = 64000 people. The population of Lake Bright is 80000 people - 64000 people = 16000 people. The answer is 16000.
Q: Mr. Maximilian has a rental building that he collects rent from every month. The number of units in the building is 100. If the building is 3/4 occupied for a whole year, and each resident of the building pays a rent of $400, calculate the amount of money Mr. Maximilian receives in that year.
A: Since there are 100 units, the number of units occupied by tenants is 3 / 4 * 100 = 75. If each tenant pays $400 every month, Mr Maximilian receives 75 * $400 = $30000 in rent revenue every month. In a year, Mr Maximilian receives $30000 * 12 = $360000 in rent revenue. The answer is 360000.
