[Question]Lucille has to divide the revenue from her business in the ratio of 4:11 for employee salaries and stock purchases, respectively. If she has $3000 as her revenue, calculate the total amount of money she spends on employee salary?
[Answer]The total ratio representing the revenue Lucille has is 4 + 11 = 15. The value from the ratio representing employee salary is 4 / 15, and this is 4 / 15 * $3000 = $800 that Lucille has to pay her employees. The answer is 800.
Q: Lisa walks 10 meters each minute. Every day, she walks for an hour. How many meters will Lisa walk in two days?
A: Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, then Lisa walks for 1 x 60 = 60 minutes every day. For 60 minutes, Lisa walks 60 x 10 = 600 meters. Thus, she walks for 600 x 2 = 1200 meters in two days. The answer is 1200.
Question: Marcus is making calzones. It takes him 20 minutes to saute the onions and a quarter of that time to saute the garlic and peppers. It takes him 30 minutes to knead the dough, twice as long to let it rest, and 1/10th the combined kneading and resting time to assemble the calzones. How many minutes does Marcus spend on the calzones total?
Answer: First find the amount of time it takes Marcus to saute the garlic and peppers: 20 minutes / 4 = 5 minutes. Then find the dough's resting time: 30 minutes * 2 = 60 minutes. Then add the kneading and resting time to find the total dough time: 60 minutes + 30 minutes = 90 minutes. Then multiply that amount by 1 / 10th to find the assembly time: 90 minutes / 10 = 9 minutes. Then add the saute time, knead time, rest time and assembly time to find the total time Marcus spends on the calzones: 9 minutes + 20 minutes + 5 minutes + 60 minutes + 30 minutes = 124 minutes. The answer is 124.
[Question]Claire won a $100 gift card to her favorite coffee shop. She wants to treat herself to a latte that cost $3.75 and a croissant for $3.50 every morning for a week. She also plans to buy 5 cookies that cost $1.25 each. How much money will be left on her card after a week of coffee and pastry?
[Answer]Every day she buys $3.75 latte and $3.50 croissant for a total of 3.75 + 3.50 = $7.25 per day. If she spends $7.25 a day for 7 days she will spend 7.25 * 7 = $50.75 in one week. If she buys 5 cookies at $1.25 each she will spend 5 * 1.25 = $6.25. Her gift card is for $100 and she spends $50.75 and an additional $6.25 that will leave her with 100 - 50.75 - 6.25 = $43.00 on her gift card. The answer is 43.
Q: Donald drinks 3 more than twice the number of juice bottles Paul drinks in one day. If Paul drinks 3 bottles of juice per day, how many bottles does Donald drink per day?
