[Question]Tom uses 10 weight plates each weighing 30 pounds on an exercise machine. This exercise machine uses special technology to make the weights 20% heavier on the lowering portion. How heavy did the weights feel when being lowered?
[Answer]The weight stack weighed 10 * 30 = 300 pounds. So the added weight made it 300 * .2 = 60 pounds heavier. So when he lowered the weight it was 300 + 60 = 360 pounds. The answer is 360.
Q: Max works for a delivery company as a courier. During one working day, he can deliver a maximum of 35 packages. One week, Max delivered the maximum number of packages, only twice. On two other days, Max unloaded a total of 50 packages, and on one day he unloaded only one-seventh of the maximum possible daily performance. On the last two days, the sum of the packages transported was only fourth-fifth of the maximum daily performance. How many more packages could Max deliver during that week, if he would work at maximum performance?
A: Max can deliver a maximum of 35 * 7 = 245 packages in one week. For two days Max has carried the maximum number of packages, which in total means 2 * 35 = 70 packages. One day Max has carried only 1 / 7 of the maximum capacity, that is 1 / 7 * 35 = 5 packages. On two other days, Max delivered only 4 / 5 * 35 = 28 packages. That means, Max could deliver 245 - 28 - 5 - 70 - 50 = 92 more packages. The answer is 92.
Question: Calvin and Paislee played a pool game where points were awarded for winning a round. If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3/4 times as many points as Calvin, how many points was Paislee required to achieve to have a chance of tying the game?
Answer: If Calvin had scored 500 points and Paislee 3 / 4 times as many points as Calvin, Paislee had scored 3 / 4 * 500 = 375 points. To have a chance of tying the game, Paislee had to score 500 - 375 = 125 points. The answer is 125.
Q: At the salad bar, Grandma put three mushrooms on her salad. She also added twice as many cherry tomatoes as mushrooms, 4 times as many pickles as cherry tomatoes, and 4 times as many bacon bits as pickles. If one third of the bacon bits were red, than how many red bacon bits did Grandma put on her salad?
A:
Twice as many tomatoes as mushrooms is 3 * 2 = 6 tomatoes. Four times as many pickles as tomatoes is 4 * 6 = 24 pickles. Four times as many bacon bits as pickles is 24 * 4 = 96 bacon bits. One third of 96 is 96 / 3 = 32 red bacon bits. The answer is 32.
