Q: Matt did his homework for 150 minutes. He spent 30% of that time on math and 40% on science. He spent the remaining time on other subjects. How much time did Matt spend on homework in other subjects?
A: Matt spent on math and science 30% + 40% = 70% of the time. This means he did homework from these two subjects for 70 / 100 * 150 minutes = 105 minutes. So Matt spent 150 minutes - 105 minutes = 45 minutes doing homework from other subjects. The answer is 45.

[Question]John eats 3 meals a day. Breakfast is 500 calories. His lunch contains 25% more calories than that. His dinner is twice as many calories as lunch. He also has 3 shakes that are each 300 calories. How many calories does he get in a day?
[Answer]Lunch is 500 * .25 = 125 more calories than breakfast. That means it is 500 + 125 = 625 calories. So dinner is 625 * 2 = 1250 calories. The shakes are 3 * 300 = 900 calories. So in total he eats 500 + 625 + 1250 + 900 = 3275 calories. The answer is 3275.
Q: Oliver has 4 friends that he is inviting to a party at the arcade. Game tokens cost 30 for $1. Each game costs 2 tokens. If he wants all his friends to get to play 60 games each, how much will it cost?
A: He needs to buy enough tokens for 240 games because 4 x 60 = 240. He needs to buy 480 tokens because 2 x 240 = 480. He needs to spend 160 because 480 / 30 = 16. The answer is 16.
Question: Madeline has 10 flowers. If 4 flowers are red, 2 flowers are white, and the rest are blue, what percentage of flowers are blue?
Answer: There are 4 + 2 = 6 flowers that are not blue. Thus, there are 10 - 6 = 4 blue flowers. Thus, blue flowers make up (4 / 10) * 100 = 40%. The answer is 40.
Q: Big Joe is the tallest player on the basketball team. He is one foot taller than Ben, who is one foot taller than Larry, who is one foot taller than Frank, who is half a foot taller than Pepe. If Pepe is 4 feet six inches tall, how tall is Big Joe, in feet?
A:
Four feet six inches is the same as 4.5 feet tall. If Frank is 0.5 feet taller than Pepe, then he is 4.5 + 0.5 = 5 feet tall. If Larry is one foot taller than Frank, then he is 5 + 1 = 6 feet tall. If Ben is one foot taller than Larry, then he is 6 + 1 = 7 feet tall. If Big Joe is one foot taller than Ben, then he is 7 + 1 = 8 feet tall. The answer is 8.
