[Question]Kelsey had 2/5 of a tray of eggs that she had brought to Willa's party. Stephanie had also brought half a tray of eggs to the party, while Alayah brought 40 more eggs than Kelsey and Stephanie combined. If Willa had two trays of eggs already, calculate the total number of eggs that were used at the party.
[Answer]A tray of eggs has 30 eggs, so Kelsey brought 2 / 5 * 30 = 12 eggs. On the other hand, Stephanie brought 1 / 2 * 30 = 15 eggs to the party. The total number of eggs that Kelsey and Stephanie brought to Willa's party is 15 + 12 = 27. Alayah brought 27 + 40 = 67 eggs, 40 more than the number brought by Kelsey and Stephanie combined. Together with Aliyah's eggs, there were a total of 67 + 27 = 94. Willa also had 2 * 30 = 60 eggs from the two trays she had. In total, there were 94 + 60 = 154 eggs used at the party. The answer is 154.
Q: To get free delivery, Alice needs to spend a minimum of $35.00 online at her favorite grocery store. In her cart she has 1.5 pounds of chicken at $6.00 per pound, 1 pack of lettuce for $3.00, cherry tomatoes for $2.50, 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each, 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each and a pound of Brussel sprouts for $2.50. How much more does she need to spend in order to get free delivery?
A: She bought 1.5 pounds of chicken for $6.00 / pound so that's 1.5 * $6 = $9.00. She bought 4 sweet potatoes at $0.75 each so that's 4 * $0.75 = $3.00. She bought 2 heads of broccoli for $2.00 each so that's 2 * $2 = $4.00. The chicken is $9.00, lettuce is $3.00, tomatoes are $2.50, the sweet potatoes are $3.00, broccoli is $4.00 and Brussel sprouts are $2.50 for a total of $9 + $3 + $2.50 + $3 + $4 + $2.5 = $24.00. To get free delivery she needs to spend $35.00, and she already has $24.00 in her cart, so she needs to spend an extra $35 - $24 = $11.00. The answer is 11.
Question: There are three buckets of seeds labeled A, B, and C with 100 seeds. There are ten more seeds in bucket A than in bucket B, and bucket B has 30 seeds. How many seeds are in bucket C?
Answer: Bucket A has 10 more seeds than bucket B: so there are 10 seeds + 30 seeds = 40 seeds in bucket A. Bucket A and bucket B have 40 seeds + 30 seeds = 70 seeds together. If there are 100 seeds in all the buckets, then bucket C has 100 seeds - 70 seeds = 30 seeds. The answer is 30.
[Question]On national lipstick day, half of the students who attended class wore colored lipstick. Of those students who wore lipstick, one quarter wore red lipstick. There were one-fifth as many students wearing blue lipstick as were wearing red lipstick. If 200 students attended school that day, how many wore blue lipstick?
[Answer]Of 200 students who attended class, half wore colored lipstick, or 200 / 2 = 100 students wore colored lipstick. Of those students who wore lipstick, one quarter wore red lipstick, or 100 / 4 = 25 students wore red lipstick. Since there were one - fifth as many students wearing blue lipstick as were wearing red lipstick, then 25 / 5 = 5 students wore blue lipstick. The answer is 5.
