[Question]Kelly needs school supplies to teach her class for an art project. She has 8 students and they will need 3 pieces of construction paper each. In addition to the construction paper, she needs to buy 6 bottles of glue for everyone to share. After Kelly purchases these supplies, she dropped half of them down a storm drain. Class is about to start, but she manages to rush to the store and buy 5 more pieces of construction paper. How many supplies are left?
[Answer]Kelly needs 8 * 3 = 24 pieces of construction paper. She buys glue which grows the supplies to 24 + 6 = 30. Unfortunately, she dropped 30 / 2 = 15 supplies. Rushing to the store, she buys more construction paper bringing her supplies back to 15 + 5 = 20. The answer is 20.
Q: Jeff was driving to the capital city to attend a conference. At first, he was driving at 80 miles/hour for about 6 hours, then the speed limit changed and he had to slow down to 60 miles/hour, and so he drove at this speed for 4 hours. Then he made a stop at a gas station. Once the car was full of gas, he drove at 40 miles/hour the rest of the trip for 2 hours. How many miles did he travel?
A: In the first stretch he drove 80 miles / hour x 6 hours = 480 miles. In the second stretch he drove 60 miles / hour x 4 hours = 240 miles. After the gas station he drove 40 miles / hour x 2 hours = 80 miles. In total he drove 480 miles + 240 miles + 80 miles = 800 miles. The answer is 800.
Question: Emerson and his friends love rowing and don't miss the sport on weekends. Starting in the morning, Emerson rowed and was 6 miles away from his starting point on a particular weekend. He continued for another 15 miles at a constant speed, only stopping for a while for rest before covering the remaining 18 miles. What's the total distance covered by Emerson on his trip?
Answer: After the first 6 miles, he rowed 15 miles more, reaching 6 + 15 = 21 miles. After resting, he adds 18 miles more, which is 18 + 21 = 39 miles. The answer is 39.
[Question]While passing by a store, Miley noticed that a bag that cost $150 last week is now on sale for $135. What percent is the discount?
[Answer]The bag is now sold for $150 - $135 = $15 less. The discount is 15 / 150 = 1 / 10. Thus, the percent discount is 1 / 10 x 100% = 10%. The answer is 10.
Q: At Esme's school, there are 30 teachers and 45 staff members. On a Monday morning, The Best Pizza Inn brought pizza for the staff and teachers as a promotion offer. If 2/3 of the teachers and 4/5 of the staff members ate Pizza, how many non-pizza eaters are at Esme's school?
A: The total number of teachers who ate pizza is 2 / 3 * 30 = 20. 30 - 20 = 10 teachers did not eat pizza. The number of staff members who ate pizza is 4 / 5 * 45 = 36. The number of staff members who did not eat pizza is 45 - 36 = 9. The number of non - pizza eaters is 9 + 10 = 19. The answer is 19.
Question: Karen and Donald and their 6 children are sharing a beach house with Tom and Eva and their 4 children. If there are 16 legs in the pool, how many people are not in the pool?
Answer:
Karen and Donald and their 6 children are a party of 1 + 1 + 6 = 8 people. Tom and Evan and their 4 children are a party of 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 people. All total, there are 8 + 6 = 14 people at the beach house. There are 16 legs in the pool and everyone has 2 legs so there are 16 / 2 = 8 people in the pool. There are 14 people total at the beach house and 8 people are in the pool so 14 - 8 = 6 people are not in the pool. The answer is 6.
