The answer is 900000.
Question: There are 34 kids signed up to compete in the talent show. There are 22 more girls than boys signed up to compete. How many girls are signed up to compete in the talent show?
Answer: There are 34 kids signed up – 22 we know are girls = 12 are girls and boys. We can divide the 12 girls and boys / 2 = 6 boys are competing and 6 girls are competing. That means there are 6 + 22 = 28 girls competing. The answer is 28.
[Question]Tom takes medication to help him sleep. He takes 2 pills every day before bed. He needs to go to the doctor every 6 months to get a new prescription and a visit to the doctor costs $400. The medication costs $5 per pill, but insurance covers 80% of that cost. How much does he pay a year for everything?
[Answer]He sees the doctor 12 / 6 = 2 times a year. So he pays 400 * 2 = $800 for doctor visits. The cost of the pill is 5 * 2 = $10 per night. But insurance covers 10 * .8 = $8. So he pays 10 - 8 = $2 per night. So he pays 2 * 365 = $730 a year. SSo his total cost is 800 + 730 = $1530 a year. The answer is 1530.
