[Question]Aimee does a poll around her neighborhood and makes sure to get answers from 50% men and 50% women. She finds that 35% of women are in favor of shortening the school day by 30 minutes. 39 women in her poll opposed this idea. How many people did she poll?
[Answer]65% of women are opposed to the idea because 100 - 35 = 65. There are 60 women in the poll because 39 / .65 = 60. There were 120 people in her poll because 60 / .5 = 120. The answer is 120.
Q: Maria found a store that sells handmade sweaters for $30 and a handmade scarf for $20. She wants to buy one for everyone in her family. She will buy 6 sweaters and 6 scarves. If she has saved $500, how much will be left in her savings after buying all these?
A: Six sweaters amount to $30 x 6 = $180. Six scarfs amount to $20 x 6 = $120. So, Maria will pay a total of $180 + $120 = $300. Thus, she will be left with $500 - $300 = $200 in her savings. The answer is 200.
Question: Hammond carves life-sized statues out of marble. His latest set of four statues started with an 80-pound block of marble. The first statue he carved weighed 10 pounds. The second statue weighed 18. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount. The marble he discarded after carving it off the statues weighed 22 pounds. How much did each of the remaining statues Hammond carved weigh?
Answer: Hammond’s statues weighed 80 - 22 = 58 pounds after the discarded marble was carved off. Minus the first statue, the statues weighed 58 - 10 = 48 pounds. Minus the second statue, the statues weighed 48 - 18 = 30 pounds. The remaining two statues weighed the same amount, so each weighed 30 / 2 = 15 pounds. The answer is 15.
[Question]John can produce 1000 tires a day. It cost $250 to produce each tire. He manages to sell them for 1.5 times as much. He could sell 1200 tires a day if his factory was able to produce more. How much money does he lose out a week by not being able to produce all the tires?
[Answer]He sells each tire for 250 * 1.5 = $375. That means he makes a profit of 375 - 250 = $125 per tire. His production is 1200 - 1000 = 200 short. So he loses out on 125 * 200 = $25,000 a day. So he loses out on 25000 * 7 = $175,000 a week. The answer is 175000.
[Question]Ben has four boxes with ten basketball cards in each box. His mother gave him five boxes with eight baseball cards. If he gives 58 cards to his classmates, how many cards does he has left?
