[Question]The civic league was hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser. A stack of pancakes was $4.00 and you could add bacon for $2.00. They sold 60 stacks of pancakes and 90 slices of bacon. How much did they raise?
[Answer]The pancakes were $4.00 a stack and they sold 60 stacks for a total of 4 * 60 = $240.00. The bacon was $2.00 a slice and they sold 90 slices for a total of 2 * 90 = $180.00. They sold $240 in pancakes and $180 in bacon for a total of 240 + 180 = $420.00. The answer is 420.
Q: Barry has $10.00 worth of dimes. His little brother, Dan has half that amount but finds 2 more dimes on his way home from school. How many dimes does Dan have?
A: Dimes are worth $0.10 and Barry has $10.00 worth of dimes so he has 10 / .10 = 100 dimes. Dan has half the amount of dimes as Barry so Dan has 100 / 2 = 50 dimes. Dan finds 2 more dimes on his way home so he now has 50 + 2 = 52 dimes. The answer is 52.
Question: Emmett does 12 jumping jacks, 8 pushups, and 20 situps. What percentage of his exercises were pushups?
Answer: First find the total number of exercises Emmett does: 12 jumping jacks + 8 pushups + 20 situps = 40 exercises. Then divide the number of pushups by the total number of exercises and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 8 pushups / 40 exercises * 100% = 20%. The answer is 20.
[Question]There were 600 cookies in a box. Nicole ate 2/5 of the total number of cookies, while Eduardo ate 3/5 of the remaining amount. What percentage of the original cookies remained?
[Answer]Nicole ate 2 / 5 of the total number of cookies, which is 2 / 5 * 600 = 240. The total number of cookies that remained in the box after Nicole ate 240 is 600 - 240 = 360. Eduardo then ate 3 / 5 of the remaining cookies, a total of 3 / 5 * 360 = 216 cookies. The total number of cookies that remained after Eduardo ate 216 is 360 - 216 = 144. The percentage of the cookies that remained out of the original amount is 144 / 600 * 100% = 24%. The answer is 24.
Q: A bowl of fruit holds 18 peaches. Four of the peaches are ripe and two more ripen every day, but on the third day three are eaten. How many more ripe peaches than unripe peaches are in the bowl after five days?
A: In 5 days, 2 * 5 = 10 peaches will ripen. With the 4 that were already ripe, there will be 14 peaches that have ripened. Three were eaten, so there will be 14 - 3 = 11 ripe peaches left. There are 18 - 14 = 4 unripe peaches left. Therefore, there will be 11 - 4 = 7 more ripe peaches than unripe peaches in the bowl after five days. The answer is 7.
Question: John has 2 hives of bees. One of the hives has 1000 bees and produces 500 liters of honey. The second has 20% fewer bees but each bee produces 40% more honey. How much honey does he produce?
Answer:
The second hive has 20 / 100 * 1000 = 200 fewer bees. This translates to 1000 - 200 = 800 bees. Each bee in the first hive produces 1000 / 500 = 2 liters. The second hive has bees each producing 1.4 * 2 = 2.8 liters. The total amount of honey produces by the bees in the second hive is 2.8 * 700 = 1960. The total honey produced is 1960 + 500 = 2460 liters. The answer is 2460.
