Q: Emery's family decides to travel for a weekend trip. They drive the first 100 miles in 1 hour. They stop at a McDonald's and then continue the rest of the journey for 300 miles. What's the total number of hours they traveled?
A: If the first 100 miles took one hour, then let's say the next 300 miles took x hours. if 100 miles = 1 hour, then 300 miles = x. To find the number of hours traveled for the 300 miles, x = 300 * 1 / 100. x = 3 hours. The total number of hours will be 3 + 1 = 4 hours. The answer is 4.
Question: Iris has a berry farm. Her brother and sister help her to pick up the berries and sell them to the market. Iris picked 30 blueberries, her sister picked 20 cranberries, and her brother was able to pick 10 raspberries. If 1/3 of the total berries they were able to pick are rotten and the remaining 1/2 of the fresh berries need to be kept, how many berries will they be able to sell?
Answer: Iris and his brother and sister were able to pick a total of 30 + 20 + 10 = 60 berries. The rotten berries that needed to be thrown away are (1 / 3) x 60 = 20. So, the total number of fresh berries is 60 - 20 = 40. The berries they need to keep are (1 / 2) x 40 = 20. Therefore, the total number of berries they will be able to sell is 40 - 20 = 20. The answer is 20.
[Question]Remy sold 55 bottles of soda in the morning. Nick sold six fewer bottles of soda than Remy. The price per bottle is $.50. If their total evening sales are $55, how much more did they earn in the evening than in the morning?
[Answer]Nick sold 55 - 6 = 49 bottles of soda in the morning. They sold 55 + 49 = 104 bottles of soda altogether. They earned a total of 104 x $.50 = $52 in the morning. So, they earned $55 - $52 = $3 more in the evening than in the morning. The answer is 3.
Q: Tonya is buying Christmas gifts for her sisters. She has 2 sisters and wants to spend the exact same amount on each. She buys her younger sister 4 dolls that cost $15 each. She plans to buy lego sets for her older sister. They cost $20 each. How many lego sets does she buy?
A: She spent $60 on her younger sister because 4 x 15 = 60. She buys 3 lego sets for her older sister because 60 / 20 = 3. The answer is 3.
Question: In a factory, there are 300 employees. 200 of them earn $12 per hour. Of the rest, 40 of them earn $14 per hour. All others earn $17 per hour. What is the cost to employ all these people for one 8-hour long shift?
Answer: The cost of the 200 employees is 200 employees * $12 / employee / hour = $2400 per hour. The cost of the 40 employees is 40 employees * $14 / employee / hour = $560 per hour. The rest means 300 employees - 200 employees - 40 employees = 60 employees. These 60 employees' employment costs are at 60 employees * $17 / employee / hour = $1020 per hour. So in total all employees earn $2400 / hour + $560 / hour + $1020 / hour = $3980 / hour. During an 8 - hour shift, this cost would be at 8 hours * $3980 / hour = $31840. The answer is 31840.
