[Question]In a fruit salad, there are raspberries, green grapes, and red grapes. There are seven more than 3 times the number of red grapes as green grapes. There are 5 less raspberries than green grapes. If there are 102 pieces of fruit in the salad, how many red grapes are in the salad?
[Answer]Green grapes = G. Red grapes = 3G + 7. Raspberries = G - 5. G + 3G + 7 + G - 5 = 102. 5G + 2 = 102. 5G = 100. G = 20. 3 * 20 + 7 = 67. There are 67 red grapes. The answer is 67.
Q: Galileo is currently renting a car that costs $20 per month. He is planning to buy a brand new car that costs $30 per month. If Galileo will have to pay for the new car for a year, how much will be the difference if he gets the brand new car instead of renting a car?
A: Galileo pays $20 x 12 = $240 for renting a car every year. He will pay $30 x 12 = $360 for the brand new car for a year. Therefore the difference between a new car and a refurbished car is $360 - $240 = $120. The answer is 120.
Question: Every year, Tabitha adds a new color to her hair. She started this tradition when she was 15 years old, which was the year she added her second hair color. In three years, Tabitha will have 8 different colors in the hair. Currently, how old is Tabitha?
Answer: Since, three years from now, Tabitha will have 8 different colors in her hair, this year she has 8 - 3 = 5 colors in her hair. Since she had 2 colors in her hair at the age of 15, she has added 5 - 2 = 3 colors since she was 15 years old. Since she ads one color per year, 3 added colors = 3 added years. Thus, currently, she is 15 + 3 = 18 years old. The answer is 18.
