Q: John gets a bonus that's the same percentage every year. Last year he made $100,000 and got a $10,000 bonus. This year he makes $200,000. How much will John make this year when adding both his total pay and bonus together?
A: First we need to determine the bonus percentage, which is found by dividing the bonus amount by the amount John made for the year, taking 10,000 / 100,000 = .10, or 10 percent. Then, we take John's earnings from this year and multiply them by the same percentage, taking 200,000 * .1 = 20,000 dollars in bonuses. We then add these two numbers together, for a total of 200,000 + 20,000 = 220,000 dollars. The answer is 220000.
Question: James's favorite basketball player got paid based on how many points he averaged each week. He gets $10,000 if he averages 30 or more points a game and $8,000 if he averages under 30 points a game. For his last week, in the first game he scored 30 points and in the second game he scored 28 points. In the third game he scored 32 points. In the fourth game he scored 34 points and in the fifth game he scored 26 points. How much does he get paid for the week?
Answer: His favorite player scored 150 total points that week because 30 plus 28 plus 32 plus 34 plus 26 equals 150. He averaged 30 points a game because 150 divided by 5 equals 30. He gets paid $10,000 because that's how much he gets if he averages 30 or more points that week. The answer is 10000.
[Question]Ed and Jacob already had 2 shells in their shell collection. Then they went to the beach to collect even more. Ed found 7 limpet shells, 2 oyster shells, and 4 conch shells. Jacob found 2 more shells than Ed did. How many shells do the pair have altogether?
[Answer]Ed found 7 shells + 2 shells + 4 shells = 13 shells at the beach. Jacob found 13 shells + 2 shells = 15 shells at the beach. In total Ed and Jacob have 2 shells + 13 shells + 15 shells = 30 shells. The answer is 30.
Q: A dietitian ate three-fourths of her lunch during her lunch break. If the total amount of food she had prepared for lunch had 40 calories, and the recommended calorie intake by the FDA is 25, how many more calories than the recommended amount did she eat?
A: A dietitian ate three - fourths of her lunch during her lunch break, containing 3 / 4 * 40 = 30 calories. If the recommended calorie intake by the FDA is 25, the dietitian ate 30 - 25 = 5 more calories than the recommended amount. The answer is 5.
