Question: Alex is stacking his books in a pyramid. Each level of the pyramid has 80% as many books as the number of books in the previous level. If he makes four levels and the top level has 64 books, how many books are in the pyramid in total?
Answer: The third level has 80 books because 64 / .8 = 80. The second level has 100 books because 80 / .8 = 100. The first level has 125 books because 100 / .8 = 125. In total there are 369 books because 64 + 80 + 100 + 125 = 369. The answer is 369.
[Question]Kara has to drink 4 ounces of water every time she takes her medication. Her medication instructions are to take one tablet three times a day. She followed the instructions for one week, but in the second week, she forgot twice on one day. How many ounces of water did she drink with her medication over those two weeks?
[Answer]Kara drinks 4 * 3 = 12 ounces of water with her medication each day. In a week, she drinks 12 * 7 = 84 ounces of water with her medication. In two weeks, she drinks 84 * 2 = 168 ounces of water with her medication. One day, she forgot two tablets, so she did not drink 2 * 4 = 8 ounces of water. Thus, Kara drank 168 - 8 = 160 ounces of water with her medication over two weeks. The answer is 160.
Q: Shannon bought 5 pints of frozen yogurt, two packs of chewing gum, and five trays of jumbo shrimp from The Food Place for a total of $55 If the price of a tray of jumbo shrimp is $5 and a pack of chewing gum costs half as much as a pint of frozen yogurt, what is the price of a pint of frozen yogurt?
A: 5 trays of jumbo shrimp cost 5 x 5 = $25. 5 pints of frozen yogurt and 2 packs of gum in total cost 55 - 25 = $30. 2 packs of gum cost as much 2 / 2 = 1 pint of frozen yogurt. Therefore 5 + 1 = 6 pints of frozen yogurt costs $30. A pint of frozen yogurt costs 30 / 6 = $5. The answer is 5.
