Q: On Black Friday a popular electronics store sells 327 televisions. This is 50 more than they sold last Black Friday. If this sales trend continues and they sell 50 more televisions each year for three years, how many televisions will they sell on Black Friday three years from now?
A: The electronics store sold 327 televisions this Black Friday and might sell 50 more televisions the next year, for a total of 327 + 50 = 377 televisions. The second year they might sell 377 + 50 = 427 televisions. The third year, if they continue to sell 50 more televisions than they did the previous year, they will sell 427 + 50 televisions = 477 televisions on the Black Friday three years from now. The answer is 477.
Question: George is about to celebrate his 25th birthday. Since his 15th birthday, he's been given a special $1 bill from his parents. They told him that on his 25th birthday, for every bill he still has, they will give him $1.5 in exchange. He spent 20% of his special bills. How much will he receive from his parents when he exchanges them?
Answer: He received 10 special bills because 25 - 15 = 10. He has 80% of them left because 100 - 20 = 80. He has 8 left because 10 x .8 = 8. His parents will give her $12 for them because 8 x 1.5 = 12. The answer is 12.
[Question]A rancher owns a mixture of 8 sheep and 5 cattle that graze on his land. In a typical year, the rancher will allow his animals to feed off his pastures for as long as possible before they run out of grass. After the pastures run out of grass, he must buy feed corn for $10 per bag. Each cow eats 2 acres of grass per month, and each sheep eats 1 acre of grass per month. Additionally, a bag of feed corn can feed each cow for 1 month and each sheep for 2 months.  If the rancher's pasture contains 144 acres of grass, how much will the rancher need to spend on feed corn to feed his animals each year?
[Answer]First, the 144 acres of grass will be eaten according to the equation 5 * 2 * T + 8 * 1 * T = 144. Solving this equation for T, we find 18 * T = 144, or T = 8 months of food are covered by the animals grazing on the rancher's pasture. This means the farmer must buy feed corn for the remaining 12 - 8 = 4 months. Next, the rancher's 8 sheep will require 4 / 2 = 2 bags of feed corn each, or 8 * 2 = 16 bags of feed corn in total for the 4 month period. The rancher's 5 cows will require 4 / 1 = 4 bags of feed corn each, or 5 * 4 = 20 bags of feed corn in total for the month. Therefore, the rancher needs 16 + 20 = 36 bags of feed corn for all of his animals. So, the rancher will need to spend 36 * 10 = $360 per year on feed corn. The answer is 360.
Q: A charity is delivering chicken and rice dinners to a shelter for the hungry. They have a hundred plates to deliver. The rice cost ten cents a plate and the chicken cost forty cents a plate. How many dollars did the charity spend on the food for the dinners?
A: Each chicken and rice plate cost 10 + 40 = 50 cents. The charity spent 50 * 100 = 5000 cents for the dinners. There are 100 cents in a dollar, so the charity spent 5000 / 100 = $50 for the dinners. The answer is 50.
Question: Anton has three times as many cards in his collection as Heike does. Ann has six times as many cards as Heike does. If Ann has 60 cards, how many more cards does Ann have more than Anton?
Answer: If Ann has 60 cards, which is six times as many cards as Heike, Heike has 60 / 6 = 10 cards. Anton has three times as many cards in his collection as Heike does, and since Heike has 10 cards, Anton has 10 * 3 = 30 cards. Ann has 60 - 30 = 30 more cards than Anton. The answer is 30.
Q: Robbie is tracking his nutrition intake per week. He eats 3 cups of rice in the morning, 2 cups of rice in the afternoon, and 5 cups of rice in the evening. If a cup of rice has 10 grams of fat, how many grams of fat does Robbie get in a week?
A:
Robbie gets 3 x 10 = 30 grams of fat every morning. He gets 10 x 2 = 20 grams of fat every afternoon. And he gets 5 x 10 = 50 grams of fat every evening. So, the total grams of fat he gets every day is 50 + 30 + 20 = 100. Therefore, the total grams of fat he gets every week is 100 x 7 = 700. The answer is 700.
