Q: Diana gets 30 minutes of video game time for every hour she reads. Her dad decided to raise her reward by 20%. Diana read for 12 hours this week. How many more minutes of video game time will she get as a result of her raise?
A: Diana’s raise was 20% of her 30 - minute video game time, or 0.20 x 30 minutes = 6 minutes. Diana is now making 30 minutes + 6 - minute raise = 36 minutes for every hour she reads. Diana read 12 hours x 36 minutes of video game time, so she received 432 minutes of video game time after her raise. Before, if Diana read 12 hours x 30 minutes of video game time, she would have received 360 minutes. The amount she received after her raise, 432 minutes – 360 minutes at her old rate = 72 more minutes after her raise. The answer is 72.
Question: A supermarket has pints of strawberries on sale. They sold 54 pints and made $216, which was $108 less than they would have made selling the same number of pints without the sale. How many more dollars does a pint of strawberries cost when not on sale?
Answer: On sale, a pint of strawberries costs 216 / 54 = $4. The supermarket would have made 216 + 108 = $324 if the strawberries were not on sale. Thus, a pint of strawberries not on sale costs 324 / 54 = $6. Hence, a pint of strawberries costs 6 - 4 = $2 more when not on sale. The answer is 2.
[Question]There were 200 students on a field playing football. Suddenly a military plane flew by, and 3/4 of the students looked up. How many eyes saw the airplane?
[Answer]If there were 200 students on the field and 3 / 4 of the students looked up at the flying plane, 3 / 4 * 200 = 150 students saw the plane. Since each student has two eyes, the number of eyes that looked at the plane is 2 * 150 = 300 years. The answer is 300.
Q: Cristina, John, Clarissa and Sarah want to give their mother a photo album for her birthday. Cristina brings 7 photos, John brings 10 photos and Sarah brings 9 photos. If the photo album has 40 slots available, how many photos does Clarissa need to bring in order to complete the photo album?
A: Excluding Clarissa, there are 7 + 10 + 9 = 26 photos. Clarissa needs to bring 40 – 26 = 14 photos to complete the photo album. The answer is 14.
Question: Iggy is training for a marathon. On Monday, he runs 3 miles. On Tuesday, he runs 4 miles. On Wednesday, he runs 6 miles. On Thursday, he runs 8 miles. On Friday, he runs 3 miles. Iggy runs at a pace of 1 mile in 10 minutes. What is the total number of hours that Iggy spends running from Monday to Friday?
Answer: From Monday to Friday, Iggy runs a total of 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 3 = 24 miles. Iggy runs for a total of 24 * 10 = 240 minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, Iggy runs for a total of 240 / 60 = 4 hours. The answer is 4.
Q: Carter can read half as many pages as Lucy in 1 hour. Lucy can read 20 more pages than Oliver in 1 hour. Oliver can read 40 pages. How many pages can Carter read in 1 hour?
A:
Lucy can read 20 more pages than Oliver who can read 40 pages so Lucy can read 40 + 20 = 60 pages. Carter can read half as many pages as Lucy who can read 60 pages so he can read 60 / 2 = 30 pages in 1 hour. The answer is 30.
