Q: Emily just purchased 2 pairs of curtains for $30.00 each and 9 wall prints at $15.00 each. The store also offers an installation service. For $50.00 they will come to your house and professionally hang your curtains and prints. If Emily agrees to this service, how much will her entire order cost?
A: She buys 2 pair of curtains for $30.00 each so that's 2 * 30 = $60.00. She buys 9 wall prints at $15.00 each so that's 9 * 15 = $135.00. The curtains cost $60.00, the prints are $135.00 and the installation service is $50.00 for a total of 60 + 135 + 50 = $245.00. The answer is 245.
Question: Mason has 3 cartons of 200 blueberries. He makes as many muffins as he can with 10 blueberries per muffin. Then he makes 60 cinnamon muffins. What percentage of all the muffins he made have blueberries?
Answer: First find the total number of blueberries Mason has: 200 blueberries / carton * 3 cartons = 600 blueberries. Then divide the total number of blueberries by the number of blueberries per muffin: 600 blueberries / 10 blueberries / muffin = 60 muffins. Then add that number of muffins to the number of cinnamon muffins to find the total number of muffins: 60 muffins + 60 muffins = 120 muffins. Then divide the number of blueberry muffins by the total number of muffins and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 60 muffins / 120 muffins * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.
[Question]Everett built a rectangular concrete patio that was four times as long as it was wide. If the perimeter of the patio was 100 feet, what was the length of the patio, in feet?
[Answer]Let's make "x" be the width of the patio. Then the length of the patio would be 4 * x. And the perimeter of the patio would be the sum of all four sides, or x + (4 * x) + x + (4 * x) = 100 feet. This simplifies to 10x = 100 feet. And the width of the patio x = 10 feet. And the length of the patio is 4 * x = 4 * 10 = 40 feet. The answer is 40.
Q: In a guessing game, Hajar's score is 24 points. The difference in the scores between Hajar and Farah's score in the game is 21. What is the sum of their scores, assuming Farah's score is higher than Hajar's?
A: If the difference in scores between Farah and Hajar in the game is 21 points, and Hajar's score is 24, then Farah has a score of 21 + 24 = 45 points. The overall score in the game is 45 + 24 = 69. The answer is 69.
Question: Jodi starts off walking 1 mile a day for 6 days a week. On the second week, she walks 2 miles a day, 6 days a week. On the third week, she walks 3 miles a day, 6 days a week. Finally on the fourth week, she walks 4 miles a day, 6 days a week. How many miles has she walked in 4 weeks?
Answer: The first week she walked 1 mile, 6 days a week for a total of 1 * 6 = 6 miles. The second week she walked 2 miles, 6 days a week for a total of 2 * 6 = 12 miles. The third week she walked 3 miles, 6 days a week for a total of 3 * 6 = 18 miles. On the fourth week, she walked 4 miles, 6 days a week for a total of 4 * 6 = 24 miles. Over four weeks she has walked 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 = 60 miles. The answer is 60.
