Question: John used to go to the gym multiple times a weak but because of lockdowns he hasn't been able to go. He used to lift 700 for squat, 400 for bench, and 800 for deadlift. For squat he lost 30% of his lift. He didn't lose any weight on bench because he was able to train that at home and he lost 200 pounds on deadlift. What is his new total?
Answer: He lost 700 * .3 = 210 pounds on squat. So his squat is now 700 - 210 = 490 pounds. His deadlift is 800 - 200 = 600 pounds. So his total is now 490 + 600 + 400 = 1490 pounds. The answer is 1490.
[Question]A pumpkin patch allows people to come pick pumpkins to carve in the fall every year. They charge $3 per person for a pumpkin. The remaining pumpkins get turned into cans of pie filling, 3 pumpkins to a can. They grew 83 pumpkins this year and made $96 selling pumpkins for carving. How many cans of pie filling will the pumpkin patch produce?
[Answer]The pumpkin patch sold 96 / 3 = 32 pumpkins. They have 83 - 32 = 51 pumpkins left. Thus, the pumpkin patch will produce 51 / 3 = 17 cans of pie filling. The answer is 17.
Q: Jamie is a firefighter. One day an emergency call comes in from Mrs. Thompson, an elderly woman whose cat can't get down a 20-foot tree.

A: Jamie needed 12 / 6 = 2 rungs per foot of the tree to save the first cat. To climb a 20 - foot tree, Jamie needs 20 * 2 = 40 rungs. The answer is 40.
Question: Chris’s internet bill is $45 per month for 100 GB and $0.25 for every 1 GB over. His bill for this month is $65. How many GB over was Chris charged for on this bill?
Answer: Let G stand for the number of GB billed, so the total bill is $0.25G + $45 flat rate charge = $65 total bill. Now we will solve for G. $0.25G + $45 flat rate - $45 = $65 - $45. This simplifies to $0.25G = $20. $0.25G / $0.25 = $20 / $0.25. G = 80 GB were charged on this bill. The answer is 80.
