Q: Belle eats 4 dog biscuits and 2 rawhide bones every evening. If each rawhide bone is $1, and each dog biscuit is $0.25, then how much does it cost, in dollars, to feed Belle these treats for a week?
A: A week's worth of rawhide bones cost 1 * 2 * 7 = 14 dollars. A week's worth of dog biscuits cost 0.25 * 4 * 7 = 7 dollars,. Thus, in total, it cost 14 + 7 = 21 dollars. The answer is 21.
Question: Marcus scored 5 3-point goals and 10 2-point goals. If his team scored 70 points overall, what percentage of the team's total points did Marcus score?
Answer: First find the total number of points Marcus scored through 3 - point goals: 5 goals * 3 points / goal = 15 points. Then find the total number of points he scored through 2 - point goals: 10 goals * 2 points / goal = 20 points. Then add those amounts to find the total number of points Marcus scored: 15 points + 20 points = 35 points. Finally, divide that number by the team's total number of points and multiply by 100% to find the percentage of points Marcus scored: 35 points / 70 points * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.

Q: A warehouse store sells cartons of gum. Each carton contains 5 packs of gum, and there are 3 sticks of gum in each pack. Each brown box contains 4 cartons of gum. How many sticks of gum are there in 8 brown boxes?
A: 5 packs of gum contain 5 * 3 = 15 sticks of gum. If each brown box contains 4 cartons, 8 brown boxes contain 8 * 4 = 32 cartons. So, 8 brown boxes contain 32 * 15 = 480 sticks of gum. The answer is 480.
Question: After trick-or-treating, Brent dumped his candy on the table. He had received 5 Kit-Kat bars, three times that amount in Hershey kisses, 8 boxes of Nerds, and 11 lollipops. He also had 10 Baby Ruths and half that amount in Reese Peanut butter cups. After giving his little sister 5 lollipops, how many pieces of candy did Brent have left?
Answer: He had 5 Kit - Kats and had 3 times that amount in Kisses so he had 5 * 3 = 15 Hershey kisses. He had 10 Baby Ruths and half that amount in Reese Peanut butter cups so he had 10 / 2 = 5 Reese Peanut Butter cups. He had 11 lollipops and gave 5 to his sister so he now had 11 - 5 = 6 lollipops. When you add up all of the candy, he had 5 Kit - Kats, 15 Hershey kisses, 10 Baby Ruths, 5 Reese cups, 8 Nerds and 6 lollipops so 5 + 15 + 10 + 5 + 8 + 6 = 49 pieces of candy. The answer is 49.
Q: Ms. Mitsuko told the class that if the average score on their quiz is higher than 75% then they will get a pizza party. There are 25 students in the class. One student is absent and has to take the test the next day. The average score of the students who took the test was 77%. What is the lowest grade the absent student can get for the class to still get a pizza party?
A:
The total percentage the class needs to get is 18.75 because 25 x .75 = 18.75. The total percentage the class has absent the one student is 18.48. The lowest the absent student can get and still have a pizza party is 27% because (18.75 - 18.48)x 100 = 27. The answer is 27.
