Question: Theo and Tia are buying food for their picnic basket. They invited two of their friends. They buy individual sandwiches and individual fruit salads. They buy two sodas per person and 3 bags of snacks to share for their friends and themselves. Sandwiches are $5 each. Fruit salad is $3 each. Sodas are $2 each. The snack bags are $4 each. How much did they spend on the entire contents of their picnic basket?
Answer: The sandwiches are $5 x 4 = $20. The fruit salads are $3 x 4 = $12. The sodas are $2 x 4 x 2 = $16. The snacks are $4 x 3 = $12. For all the food, they spend $20 + $12 + $16 + $12 = $60. The answer is 60.
[Question]Alice was able to sell $2500 worth of gadgets. For this month, she expects to receive her monthly basic salary of $240 and a 2% commission from these sales. How much is she going to save this month if she usually saves 10% of her total earnings?
[Answer]Alice will get $2500 x 2 / 100 = $50 from her commission. This month, she will receive a total of $240 + $50 = $290. Therefore, Alice will save $290 x 10 / 100 = $29 for this month. The answer is 29.
Q: It takes 1 hour for refrigerated dough to come to room temperature. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough and 2 hours to proof. The bread takes 30 minutes to bake and 15 minutes to cool. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am, what is the latest time the head baker can make it to the store to start working?
A: It takes 1 hour to bring the dough to room temp and 2 hours to proof the dough so that's 1 + 2 = 3 hours. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough, 30 minutes to bake and another 15 minutes to cool for a total of 15 + 30 + 15 = 60 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour so that takes him 60 / 60 = 1 hour. In total it takes 3 + 1 = 4 hours from start to finish to make the bread. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am and it takes 4 hours to prep then the latest the head baker can show up is 6 - 4 = 2:00 am. The answer is 2.
Question: Troy makes soup. He buys 4 pounds of beef and 6 pounds of vegetables. The vegetables cost $2 per pound and the beef is 3 times that price. How much does everything cost?
Answer: The vegetables cost 2 * 6 = $12. The beef cost 2 * 3 = $6 per pound. So the beef cost 4 * 6 = $24. So the total cost is 12 + 24 = $36. The answer is 36.
[Question]Reuben opens a sandwich shop selling his namesake sandwich and pastrami sandwiches. Pastrami cost $2 more than the Reuben. He sells 10 Reubens and 5 Pastrami sandwiches and earns $55. How much does a pastrami sandwich cost?
[Answer]If X = "Price of Reuben" We know that 10(X) + 5(X + 2) = 55. Therefore 10X + 5X + 10 = 55. Therefore 15X = 45. Therefore, the price of a Reuben is $3 because 45 / 15 = 3. The price of pastrami is $5 because 3 + 2 = 5. The answer is 5.
[Question]Out of the 200 cookies that Javier baked from the recipe he learned online, his wife took 30%, and his daughter took 40 from the remaining cookies. If he ate half of the remaining cookies, how many cookies did they not eat?
[Answer]
From the 200 cookies, Javier's wife ate 30 / 100 * 200 = 60. After the wife ate 60 cookies, the number of cookies that remained was 200 - 60 = 140. The daughter also ate 40 cookies leaving 140 - 40 = 100 cookies. If Javier ate half of the remaining cookies, he ate 1 / 2 * 100 = 50. The number of cookies that remained is 100 - 50 = 50. The answer is 50.
