[Question]Ahmed has 8 orange trees and four times as many apple trees in his orchard as Hassan. If Hassan has one apple tree and two orange trees, and they both have only apple and orange trees in their orchards, how many more trees are in Ahmed's orchard than in Hassan's?
[Answer]Ahmed has 4 times as many apple trees as Hassan who has 1 apple tree so Ahmed has 4 * 1 = 4 apple trees. Ahmed has 8 orange trees in addition to the apple trees for a total of 8 + 4 = 12 trees. Hassan has 1 + 2 = 3 trees in his orchard. Ahmed has 12 - 3 = 9 more trees than Hassan. The answer is 9.
Q: Jon drinks a bottle of water that is 16 ounces every 4 hours for the 16 hours he is awake. Twice a day he also drinks a bottle that is 25% larger than those bottles. How much fluid does he drink a week?
A: He drinks 16 / 4 = 4 of the small bottles each day. That is 4 * 16 = 64 ounces. The larger bottles are 16 * .25 = 4 ounces larger. So the large bottles are 16 + 4 = 20 ounces. So he drinks 20 * 2 = 40 ounces of those a day. So he drinks 64 + 40 = 104 ounces a day. That means he drinks 104 * 7 = 728 ounces a day. The answer is 728.
Question: Fabian is shopping at a nearby supermarket. He wants to buy 5 kilograms of apples, 3 packs of sugar, and 500 grams of walnuts. One kilogram of apples costs $2, and one kilogram of walnuts costs $6. One pack of sugar is $1 cheaper than one kilogram of apples. How much Fabian needs to pay for the items he wants to buy?
Answer: The apples cost Fabian 5 kg * $2 / kg = $10. For the walnuts Fabian needs to pay 0.5 kg * $6 = $3. One pack of sugar costs $2 - $1 = $1. So Fabian will pay $1 / pack * 3 = $3 for sugar. In total, Fabian needs to pay $10 + $3 + $3 = $16. The answer is 16.
[Question]Sabina is starting her first year of college that costs $30,000. She has saved $10,000 for her first year. She was awarded a grant that will cover 40% of the remainder of her tuition. How much will Sabina need to apply for to receive a loan that will cover her tuition?
[Answer]The remainder of Sabina’s tuition bill comes to $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000. The grant will cover $20,000 * 0.40 = $8,000 of her tuition. That means that Sabina will need to apply for a loan of $20,000 - $8,000 = $12,000 to pay for the rest of her tuition. The answer is 12000.
Q: Five percent of the 300 senior students got a full merit college scholarship and ten percent of them got a half merit scholarship. How many senior students did not get any scholarships?
A: 300 x 5 / 100 = 15 senior students got a full merit scholarship. 300 x 10 / 100 = 30 senior students got a half merit scholarship. So, a total of 15 + 30 = 45 students got scholarships. Therefore, 300 - 45 = 255 senior students did not get any scholarships. The answer is 255.
Question: Zion made a triangular-shaped house of cards with the base having a measurement of 40 centimeters and a height of 20 centimeters. If two of his friends also built similar shaped houses, what's the total area of the triangular houses that Zion and his friends made (the area of a triangle is 1/2 * width * height)?
Answer:
Since the area of a triangle is given by 1 / 2 base * height, the area of the triangular - shaped house of cards that Zion made is 1 / 2 * 40 * 20 = 400 square centimeters. If two of his friend also built similar shaped houses, the total area of their triangular - shaped house of cards is 400 + 400 = 800 square centimeters. Together with Zion, they all built triangular - shaped houses of cards with a combined area of 800 + 400 = 1200 square centimeters. The answer is 1200.
