Q: Ralph watches TV for 4 hours a day from Monday to Friday, and 6 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. How many hours does Ralph spend watching TV in one week?
A: 32
Step-by-step reasoning process: From Monday to Friday, Ralph watches TV for 4 * 5 = 20 hours. On Saturday and Sunday, Ralph watches TV for 2 * 6 = 12 hours. In one week, Ralph watches TV for a total of 20 + 12 = 32 hours.


Q: Eunice spent $7500 on a used car, which is 25% less than the original price. What was the original price of the car?
A: 10000
Step-by-step reasoning process: The price $7500 is 100% - 25% = 75% of the original price. So, every 1% is equal to $7500 / 75% = $100. Hence, the original price is equal to $100 / 1% x 100% = $10000.


Q: Yvonne brings a box of chocolates to school. Half have nuts and half do not. The students eat 80% of the ones with nuts and eat half of the ones without nuts. If there are 28 chocolates left, how many chocolates were in the box?
A: 80
Step-by-step reasoning process: The ones with nuts that they ate was 40% of the box because 80% x .5 = 40%. The ones without nuts that they ate equaled 25% of the box because 50% x .5 = 25%. They ate 65% of the box because 40 + 25 = 65. They left 35% of the box because 100 - 65 = 35. The box had 80 chocolates because 28 / .35 = 80.


Q: Nate got lost looking for his car in the airport parking lot. He had to walk through every row in Section G and Section H to find it. Section G has 15 rows that each hold 10 cars. Section H has 20 rows that each hold 9 cars. If Nate can walk past 11 cars per minute, how many minutes did he spend searching the parking lot?
A: 30
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the number of cars in Section G by multiplying the number of rows by the number of cars per row: 15 rows * 10 cars / row = 150 cars. Then do the same thing for Section H: 20 rows * 9 cars / row = 180 cars. Then add the two quantities of cars to find the total number of cars Nate walked past: 150 cars + 180 cars = 330 cars. Finally, divide the number of cars Nate passed by the numbers he passes each minute to find how long he spent searching: 330 cars / 11 cars / minute = 30 minutes.
