Q: The school decided to have a fundraiser to collect $750 for new basketball equipment. Families could donate $25, $50, or $100. Families who donated $25 got Bronze Status. Families who donated $50 got Silver Status. Families who donated $100 got Gold Status. With one day left in the fundraiser, the school has 10 Bronze Status families, 7 Silver Status Families and 1 Gold Status family. How much do they need to raise on the final day to reach their goal?
A: They collected $250 from Bronze Status families because 10 times 25 equals 250. They collected $350 from Silver Status families because 7 times 50 equals 350. They collected $100 from Gold Status families because 1 times 100 equals 100. Therefore, they collected $700 thus far because 250 plus 350 plus 100 equals 700. They need to collect $50 more because 750 minus 700 equals 50. The answer is 50.
Question: Florida is starting a promotion where every car that arrives gets one orange per passenger. A family of 4 arrives and gets their oranges. They had planned to stop for a snack later where they would spend $15 in total, but now that they have the oranges they don't have to buy them at the stop. When they get to the stop they see that the oranges would've cost $1.5 each. What percentage of the money they planned to spend did they save instead?
Answer: The oranges would've cost $6 because 4 x 1.5 = 6. The proportion of their original spending plan was .4 because 6 / 15 = .4. They saved 40% of the money they planned to spend because .4 x 100 = 40. The answer is 40.
[Question]A hardware store sold 10 graphics cards, 14 hard drives, 8 CPUs, and 4 pairs of RAM in one week. The graphics cards cost $600 each, hard drives cost $80 each, CPUs cost $200 each, and RAM cost $60 for each pair. How much money did the store earn this week?
[Answer]It earned 10 * 600 = 6000 dollars by selling graphics cards. It earned 14 * 80 = 1120 dollars by selling hard drives. It earned 8 * 200 = 1600 dollars by selling CPUs. It earned 4 * 60 = 240 dollars by selling RAM. Overall it earned 6000 + 1120 + 1600 + 240 = 8960 dollars this week. The answer is 8960.
Q: Hugo's mountain has an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level. Boris' mountain has an elevation that is 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, how many times would Boris need to climb his mountain to have climbed the same number of feet as Hugo?
A: Boris' mountain has an elevation 2,500 feet shorter than Hugo's mountain, or 10,000 - 2,500 = 7500 feet above sea level. If Hugo climbed his mountain 3 times, his total climbing distance would be 3 * 10,000 = 30,000 feet. To climb a total of 30,000 feet, Boris would need to need to climb his mountain 30,000 / 7,500 = 4 times. The answer is 4.
Question: In a game, Samanta has 8 more points than Mark, and Mark has 50% more points than Eric. Eric has 6 points. How many points do Samanta, Mark, and Eric have in total?
Answer: Mark has 50 / 100 * 6 = 3 points more than Eric. So Mark has 6 + 3 = 9 points. That means Samanta has 9 + 8 = 17 points. So in total Samanta, Mark, and Eric have 6 + 9 + 17 = 32 points. The answer is 32.
