Q: On Sunday Alice bought 4 pints of strawberry ice cream. The next day she went back and bought three times that number of pints. On Tuesday she bought one-third of the number of pints she bought the day before. On Wednesday she returned half of the pints she bought the day before because they were expired. How many pints of ice cream did she have on Wednesday?
A: On Monday she bought 4 * 3 = 12 pints. On Tuesday she bought 12 / 3 = 4 pints. Before she returned any she had 4 + 12 + 4 = 20 pints. She returned 4 / 2 = 2 pints. After returning she had 20 - 2 = 18 pints. The answer is 18.
Question: George's bowling team is one round away from breaking the league record for most points scored in a season. The old record is an average score per player of 287 per round. Each team has 4 players and there are 10 rounds in the season. Through the first 9 rounds, his team has scored a total of 10,440. How many points less than the current league record per game average is the minimum average they need to score, per player, in the final round to tie the league record?
Answer: The old team per round record is 1,148 because 287 x 4 = 1,148. The team season record is 11,480 because 10 x 1,248 = 11,480. They need 1,040 points in the final round to tie the record because 11,480 - 10,440 = 1,040. They need to average 260 points each because 1,040 / 4 = 260. This is 27 points less than the current record average because 287 - 260 = 27. The answer is 27.
[Question]Amaya scored 20 marks fewer in Maths than she scored in Arts. She also got 10 marks more in Social Studies than she got in Music. If she scored 70 in Music and scored 1/10 less in Maths, what's the total number of marks she scored in all the subjects?
[Answer]The total marks Amaya scored more in Music than in Maths is 1 / 10 * 70 = 7 marks. So the total marks she scored in Maths is 70 - 7 = 63 marks. If she scored 20 marks fewer in Maths than in Arts, then he scored 63 + 20 = 83 in Arts. If she scored 10 marks more in Social Studies than in Music, then she scored 70 + 10 = 80 marks in Social Studies. The total number of marks for all the subjects is 70 + 63 + 83 + 80 = 296 marks. The answer is 296.
Q: A bus has a carrying capacity of 80 people. At the first pickup point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3/5 of its carrying capacity. If there were 50 people at the next pick-up point, how many people could not take the bus because it was full?
A: At the first pick - up point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3 / 5 of its carrying capacity, a total of 3 / 5 * 80 = 48. The available seats in the bus after the first pick up point is 80 - 48 = 32. If there were 50 people in the second pick - up station, and only 32 sits were available, the number of people who did not take the bus because it was full is 50 - 32 = 18. The answer is 18.
Question: Mary is chopping up some old furniture to make firewood. Chairs make 6 sticks of wood, tables make 9 sticks of wood, and stools make 2 sticks of wood. Mary needs to burn 5 sticks of wood per hour to stay warm. If Mary chops up 18 chairs, 6 tables and 4 stools, how many hours can she keep warm?
Answer: First find the total sticks from the chairs: 6 sticks / chair * 18 chairs = 108 sticks. Then find the total sticks from the tables: 9 sticks / table * 6 tables = 54 sticks. Then find the total sticks from the stools: 2 sticks / table * 4 stools = 8 sticks. Then add up the total number of sticks she gets: 108 sticks + 54 sticks + 8 sticks = 170 sticks. Then divide the total number of sticks by the number of sticks she burns per hour to find the total number of hours she can keep warm: 170 sticks / 5 sticks / hour = 34 hours. The answer is 34.
