[Question]Hank reads the newspaper every morning, 5 days a week for 30 minutes. He reads part of a novel every evening, 5 days a week, for 1 hour. He doubles his reading time on Saturday and Sundays. How many minutes does Hank spend reading in 1 week?
[Answer]He reads 30 minutes in the morning 5 days a week for a total of 30 * 5 = 150 minutes. He doubles his reading time on the weekends so 30 * 2 = 60 minutes per day. He reads 60 minutes on Saturday and Sunday in the mornings for a total of 60 + 60 = 120 minutes. He reads 1 hour in the evenings 5 days a week for a total of 1 * 5 = 5 hours. He doubles his reading time on the weekends so 1 * 2 = 2 hours per day. He reads 2 hours on Saturday and Sunday in the evenings for a total of 2 + 2 = 4 hours. He read 5 + 4 = 9 hours which, when converted to minutes is 9 * 60 = 540 minutes. He reads 150 minutes in the morning and 120 minutes in the evenings and 540 over the weekend for a total of 150 + 120 + 540 = 810 minutes in 1 week. The answer is 810.
Q: A soccer team has 24 players. They have scored 150 goals on the season. There have been 15 games played. 1/3 of the players have averaged 1 goal each per game. How many total goals have the other players scored?
A: 8 players have averaged 1 goal a game because 24 x (1 / 3) = 8. These players average a total of 8 goals a game because 8 x 1 = 8. These players have scored 120 goals because 8 x 15 = 120. The remaining players have scored 30 total goals because 150 - 120 = 30. The answer is 30.
Question: Maddox and Theo both bought 3 Polaroid Cameras, each sold at $20 per camera from Amazon, and decided to sell them on eBay. Maddox sold his cameras at $28 each, while Theo sold his cameras at $23 each. How much more profit did Maddox get from the sale of his cameras than Theo?
Answer: The total cost of buying 3 cameras from Amazon for both Maddox and Theo was 3 * $20 = $60. Maddox sold his cameras at $28 each, for a total of $28 * 3 = $84. Maddox made a profit of $84 - $60 = $24 from the sale of his cameras. Theo sold his cameras on eBay for $23 * 3 = $69. Theo made a profit of $69 - $60 = $9. Maddox made $24 - $9 = $15 more profit than Theo from the sale of his cameras. The answer is 15.
Q: There are one hundred tickets to be sold for a volleyball game. Andrea sold twice as many tickets as Jude while Sandra sold 4 more than half the number of tickets Jude sold. If Jude sold 16 tickets, how many tickets need to be sold?
A:
Andrea sold 16 x 2 = 32 tickets. Half the number of tickets Jude sold is 16 / 2 = 8. So, Sandra sold 8 + 4 = 12 tickets. Thus, Andrea, Jude, and Sandra sold a total of 32 + 16 + 12 = 60 tickets. Therefore, 100 - 60 = 40 tickets need to be sold. The answer is 40.
