Q: Borgnine wants to see 1100 legs at the zoo. He has already seen 12 chimps, 8 lions, and 5 lizards. He is next headed to see the tarantulas. How many tarantulas does he need to see to meet his goal?
A: He has seen 48 chimp legs because 12 x 4 = 48. He has seen 32 lion legs because 8 x 4 = 32. He has seen 20 lizard legs because 5 x 4 = 20. He has seen 100 total legs because 48 + 32 + 20 = 100. He has to see 1000 tarantulas legs because 1100 - 100 = 1000. He has to see 125 tarantulas because 1000 / 8 = 125. The answer is 125.
Question: A parking area near Peter's house is 4 stories tall. There are 4 open parking spots on the first level. There are 7 more open parking spots on the second level than on the first level, and there are 6 more open parking spots on the third level than on the second level. There are 14 open parking spots on the fourth level. How many open parking spots are there in all?
Answer: The number of open parking spots on the second level is 4 spots + 7 spots = 11 spots. The number of open parking spots on the third level is 11 spots + 6 spots = 17 spots. There are 4 spots + 11 spots + 17 spots + 14 spots = 46 open parking spots in all. The answer is 46.
[Question]Orlan gave one-fourth of his 20-meter rope to Allan. He then gave two-thirds of the remaining to Jack. How many meters of rope is left to Orlan?
[Answer]Orlan gave Allan 20 x 1 / 4 = 5 meters of rope. So he had 20 - 5 = 15 meters left. Then he gave 15 x 2 / 3 = 10 meters of the rope to Jack. Therefore, Orlan is left with 15 - 10 = 5 meters of rope. The answer is 5.
Q: Each year a store decreased the price of a certain model of TV by $35. If the price in 2001 was $1950, what was the price in 2009?
A: The period the store had the TV was 2009 - 2001 = 8 years. The TV decreased by $35 / year * 8 years = $280. So the price in 2009 was $1950 - $280 = $1670. The answer is 1670.
Question: There were 30 women and 20 men who attended the party. After few hours, 2/5 of the total number of people left. If 9 men left the party, how many more women stayed at the party than men?
Answer: There were 30 + 20 = 50 attendees at the party. A total of 50 x 2 / 5 = 20 people left the party. Nine of those who left were men while 20 - 9 = 11 of them were women. So, 30 - 11 = 19 women stayed at the party. And 20 - 9 = 11 men stayed at the party. Thus, 19 - 11 = 8 more women than men stayed at the party. The answer is 8.
