Q: Jackie can do 5 push-ups in 10 seconds. How many push-ups can she do in one minute if she takes two 8-second breaks?
A: There are 60 seconds per minute, so Jackie’s push - up routine takes 1 * 60 = 60 seconds. Her breaks last 2 * 8 = 16 seconds. She does push - ups for 60 - 16 = 44 seconds. She can do a push - up in 10 / 5 = 2 seconds. Therefore, Jackie can do 44 / 2 = 22 push - ups in one minute with breaks. The answer is 22.
Question: Kristy, a sales representative earns a basic salary of $7.50 per hour plus a 16% commission on everything she sells. This month, she worked for 160 hours and sold $25000 worth of items. Her monthly budget for food, clothing, rent, transportation, bills and savings is 95% of her total monthly earnings and the rest will be put towards insurance. How much did she allocate to insurance?
Answer: Kristy earns a basic salary of $7.50 x 160 = $1200. Her total commission is $25000 x 16 / 100 = $4000. Thus, her total earning is $1200 + $4000 = $5200. Her monthly budget aside from the insurance is $5200 x 95 / 100 = $4940. Therefore, she allocated $5200 - $4940 = $260 on insurance. The answer is 260.
[Question]Carolyn is planning out her final essay. The introduction will be 450 words, the conclusion will be triple the length of the introduction, and each of the four body sections will be the same length. If her essay has to be 5000 words total, how long is each section?
[Answer]First find the length of the conclusion by tripling the length of the introduction: 450 words * 3 = 1350 words. Then subtract the length of the introduction and conclusion from the total length to find the combined length of the body sections: 5000 words - 1350 words - 450 words = 3200 words. Then divide the combined length of the body section by the number of body sections to find the length of each section: 3200 words / 4 sections = 800 words / section. The answer is 800.
[Question]Bryan starts exercising at home during quarantine. To start, he decides to do 3 sets of 15 push-ups each. Near the end of the third set, he gets tired and does 5 fewer push-ups. How many push-ups did he do in total?
[Answer]
In total, Bryan would have done 3 sets * 15 push - ups / set = 45 push - ups. Subtracting the push - ups he didn't do in the third set, Bryan did 45 push - ups - 5 push - ups = 40 push - ups. The answer is 40.
