Q: Betty picked 16 strawberries. Matthew picked 20 more strawberries than Betty and twice as many as Natalie. They used their strawberries to make jam. One jar of jam used 7 strawberries and they sold each jar at $4. How much money were they able to make from the strawberries they picked?
A: Matthew picked 16 + 20 = 36 strawberries. Natalie picked 36 / 2 = 18 strawberries. All together, they have 16 + 36 + 18 = 70 strawberries. They can make 70 / 7 = 10 jars of strawberries. They earn 10 x $4 = $40 from the strawberries they picked. The answer is 40.
Question: Roberto recently received a 20% raise from his previous salary, which was already 40% higher than his starting salary. If Roberto's starting salary was $80,000, what is his current salary?
Answer: Roberto has received 2 raises. On his first raise he received a 40% bump, therefore his new salary was $80,000 * 140% = $112,000. On his second raise, Roberto received a 20% bump, therefore his current salary is $112,000 * 120% = $134,400. The answer is 134400.
[Question]There are ten more newborn elephants than baby hippos. If an entire herd starts with 20 elephants and 35 hippos, and the female hippos, whose number is 5/7 of the total number of hippos, give birth to 5 new baby hippos each, find the number of animals that are there altogether?
[Answer]The total number of female hippos is 5 / 7 * 35 = 25. If each new hippo gives birth to 5 new baby hippos, the total number of baby hippos will be 5 * 25 = 125. The population of hippos after 125 new ones are born is 125 + 35 = 160. There are ten more newborn elephants than baby hippos, meaning there are 125 + 10 = 135 new baby elephants. The population of elephants is 135 + 20 = 155. Altogether, there are 155 + 160 = 315 animals. The answer is 315.
