[Question]This year the Oscar swag bags include two diamond earrings that cost $6,000 each, a new iPhone that costs $2,000, and some designer scarves that each cost $1,500. If the total value of the swag bag is $20,000, how many scarves are there?
[Answer]First find the total cost of the diamond earrings: $6,000 / earring * 2 earrings = $12,000. Then subtract the cost of the earrings and iPhone from the total cost of the bags to find the cost of all the scarves: $20,000 - $12,000 - $2,000 = $6,000. Then divide the total cost of the scarves by the cost per scarf to find the number of scarves: $6,000 / $1,500 / scarf = 4 scarves. The answer is 4.
Q: On a weekend road trip, the Jensen family drove 210 miles on highways, where their car gets 35 miles for each gallon of gas and 54 miles on city streets where their car gets 18 miles for each gallon. How many gallons of gas did they use?
A: On highways, the Jensen family used 210 miles / 35 miles / gallon = 6 gallons of gas. On city streets, the Jensen family used 54 miles / 18 miles / gallon = 3 gallons of gas. Total, the Jensen family used 6 gallons + 3 gallons = 9 gallons of gas. The answer is 9.
Question: Jennifer bought twice as many candies as Emily and three times as many as Bob bought. If Emily bought 6 candies, how many candies did Bob buy?
Answer: Jennifer bought twice as many as Emily (who bought 6 candies) which is 6 * 2 = 12 candies. 12 candies (that Jennifer bought) is three times as much as what Bob bought which means 3 * what Bob bought = 12. Dividing both sides of the equation by 3 gives: Number of candies Bob bought = 12 / 3 = 4 candies. The answer is 4.
[Question]Shannon bought 5 pints of frozen yogurt, two packs of chewing gum, and five trays of jumbo shrimp from The Food Place for a total of $55 If the price of a tray of jumbo shrimp is $5 and a pack of chewing gum costs half as much as a pint of frozen yogurt, what is the price of a pint of frozen yogurt?
[Answer]5 trays of jumbo shrimp cost 5 x 5 = $25. 5 pints of frozen yogurt and 2 packs of gum in total cost 55 - 25 = $30. 2 packs of gum cost as much 2 / 2 = 1 pint of frozen yogurt. Therefore 5 + 1 = 6 pints of frozen yogurt costs $30. A pint of frozen yogurt costs 30 / 6 = $5. The answer is 5.
Q: Hanna has twice as many erasers as Rachel. Rachel has three less than one-half as many erasers as Tanya has red erasers. If Tanya has 20 erasers, and half of them are red, how many erasers does Hanna have?
A: Half of Tanya's 20 erasers are red, so she has 20 / 2 = 10 red erasers. One - half as many erasers as Tanya has red erasers is 10 / 2 = 5 red erasers. Rachel's three less than one - half as many erasers as Tanya's red erasers, which is 5 - 3 = 2 erasers. Hanna has twice as many erasers as Rachel, for a total of 2 * 2 = 4 erasers. The answer is 4.
Question: Jeremy buys 3 bags of chips for a party. Stacy and Emily also buy chips for the party. If they need 10 bags of chips total, and Stacy buys 4 bags, how many bags of chips should Emily buy?
Answer:
Jeremy and Stacy buy 3 + 4 = 7 bags of chips. Since there needs to be 10 total, Emily should buy 10 - 7 = 3 bags of chips. The answer is 3.
