Q: Mr. Manuel is a campsite manager who's been tasked with checking the number of tents set up in the recreation area. On a particular day, he counted 100 tents in the northernmost part of the campsite and twice that number on the east side of the grounds. The number of tents at the center of the camp was four times the number of tents in the northernmost part of the campsite. If he also counted 200 tents in the southern part of the campsite, what is the total number of tents in the recreation area?
A: On the eastern part of the campsite, Mr Manuel counted 2 * 100 = 200 tents. The total number of tents in the eastern and the northern part of the campgrounds is 200 + 100 = 300. There are four times as many tents as the northernmost part in the central part of the campsite, which means there are 4 * 100 = 400 tents in the central part of the camp. The total number of tents in the three parts of the campsite is 400 + 300 = 700. If you add the number of tents Mr. Manuel counted at the southern part of the campsite, you get 700 + 200 = 900 tents on the whole campsite. The answer is 900.
Question: If Layla scored 104 goals in four hockey games and Kristin scored 24 fewer goals in the same four games, calculate the average number of goals the two scored.
Answer: If Layla scored 104 goals in four hockey games and Kristin scored 24 fewer goals in the same four games, Kristin scored 104 - 24 = 80 goals. The combined number of goals they scored is 80 + 104 = 184. The average number of goals they scored is 184 / 2 = 92. The answer is 92.
[Question]Ariana is past due on three bills. The first bill for $200 charges 10% simple interest for each overdue month and it's 2 months overdue. The second bill for $130 charges a flat $50 late fee per month and is 6 months overdue. The last bill is two months late and charges a $40 fee the first month overdue and twice that fee the second month overdue and is for $444. How much does Ariana owe in total?
[Answer]First find the monthly late fee for the first bill: $200 * 10% = $20. Then multiply that by the number of months the bill is overdue: $20 / month * 2 months = $40. Then find the total late fee for the second bill the same way: $50 / month * 6 months = $300. Then find the third bill's second late fee: 2 * $40 = $80. Then add all the bill amounts and late fees to find the total cost: $40 + $200 + $300 + $130 + $40 + $80 + $444 = $1234. The answer is 1234.
Q: Chad sandwiches 2 crackers with a scoop of peanut butter. He has 5 of these crackers a night before bed. A box of crackers has 4 sleeves with each sleeve holding 28 crackers. How many nights will 5 boxes of crackers last him?
A: Chad uses 2 crackers for each "sandwich" and has 5 sandwiches a night so he eats 2 * 5 = 10 crackers a night. The box has 4 sleeves of crackers and each sleeve has 28 crackers for a total of 4 * 28 = 112 crackers. 1 box has 112 crackers so 5 boxes will have 112 * 5 = 560 crackers. He eats 10 crackers a night and 5 boxes have 560 crackers so they will last him 560 / / 10 = 56 nights. The answer is 56.
Question: You start a business selling charm bracelets. You spend $1 on the string for each bracelet and $3 on beads for each bracelet. You sell the bracelets for $6 each. If you sell 25 bracelets, how much profit will you make?
Answer: It costs $1 + $3 = $4 to make each bracelet. Your total cost is 25 * $4 = $100. Total revenue is 25 * $6 = $150. Total profit is $150 - $100 = $50. The answer is 50.
