Question: A man is purchasing a pair of sneakers at a club store where he receives a membership discount of 10% off any purchase. In addition to the membership discount, the man also has a coupon for $10 off any pair of sneakers. If the man wants to purchase a $120 pair of sneakers and the membership discount must be applied after the coupon, how much will he pay for the sneakers after using both the coupon and membership discount?
Answer: The coupon is applied first, which reduces the cost of the sneakers to 120 - 10 = $110. Next, the 10% discount leads to a reduction in price of 110 * 0.1 = $11. Therefore, the final price the man must pay is 110 - 11 = $99. The answer is 99.
[Question]Cassidy collects movie posters from newly released sci-fi movies. After this summer, she will have six more posters in her collection, making it double the size it was two years ago when she had 14 posters. How many posters does she have now?
[Answer]Let C be the number of posters Cassidy has now. After this summer, she will have twice as many posters as when she had 14, so she will have C + 6 = 2 * 14 = 28 posters. Thus, Cassidy has C = 28 - 6 = 22 posters now. The answer is 22.
Q: Zoe made a total of $8,000 cleaning pools and babysitting. She babysat Julie three times as often as she babysat Zachary. The number of times she babysat Zachary was 1/5 the number of times she babysat Chloe. If Zoe made $600 babysitting Zachary, how much did she earn from pool cleaning?
A: From babysitting Julie, Zoe made 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars, since she made $600 babysitting Zachary and she babysat Julie three times as often. Since she babysat Zachary 1 / 5 as often as she babysat Chloe, she made an additional 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars from babysitting Chloe. All together, the babysitting sessions made Zoe 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting babysitting payments from the total gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Zoe therefore made 2600 dollars cleaning pools. The answer is 2600.
Question: A marathon is 26 miles. He can run the first 10 miles in 1 hour. For the remaining miles he runs at 80% that pace. How long does the race take?
Answer: There are 26 - 10 = 16 miles left for the rest of the race. He runs 10 * .8 = 8 miles per hour. So it takes him 16 / 8 = 2 hours. So in total it takes 1 + 2 = 3 hours. The answer is 3.
