Question: Asha has to buy some gifts but has no money. She decides to borrow $20 from her brother, $40 from her father, $30 from her mother and is gifted $70 by her granny. She adds this to her savings of $100 and goes out to Target to get what she wanted. If she spent 3/4 of the money, how much money did she remain with?
Answer: With the amount borrowed from her family, she has a total of 20 + 40 + 30 = 90 dollars. With the amount gifted from her granny, she has 70 + 90 = 160 dollars. She adds this to her savings, ending up with a total of 160 + 100 = 260 dollars. She spends 3 / 4 of this money, which is 3 / 4 * 260 = 195 dollars. The total she remains with is 260 - 195 = 65 dollars. The answer is 65.
[Question]Nancy bought a pie sliced it into 8 pieces. She gave 1/2 to Joe and Darcy, and she gave 1/4 to Carl. How many slices were left?
[Answer]The total number of slices she gave to Joe and Darcy is 1 / 2 x 8 = 4. The total slice she gave to Carl is 1 / 4 x 8 = 2. Therefore, the total slices left is 8 - 4 - 2 = 2. The answer is 2.
Q: Every time Janet folds her blanket its thickness doubles. If it starts out 3 inches thick, how thick will it be after 4 foldings?
A: First find how thick the blanket will be after 1 folding: 3 inches * 2 = 6 inches. Then find how thick the blanket will be after 2 foldings: 6 inches * 2 = 12 inches. Then find how thick the blanket will be after 3 foldings: 12 inches * 2 = 24 inches. Then find how thick the blanket will be after 4 foldings: 24 inches * 2 = 48 inches. The answer is 48.
Question: Anne is drawing pictures. She has 12 markers and she notices that each one lasts for about 1.5 drawings. If she has already made 8 drawings, how many more can she make before she runs out of markers?
Answer: She can make 18 drawings in total because 12 x 1.5 = 18. She can make ten more because 18 - 8 = 10. The answer is 10.
[Question]It takes John 13 seconds to run 100 meters. He only goes 4 meters in the first second. He then maintains the same speed for the rest of the race. James is 2 m/s faster at the top speed and he can run the first 10 meters in 2 seconds. How long does it take James to run 100 meters?
[Answer]John runs 100 - 4 = 96 meters once he reaches his max speed. He runs it in 13 - 1 = 12 seconds. So he runs at a speed of 96 / 12 = 8 m / s. So that means James's top speed is 8 + 2 = 10 m / s. He has to run 100 - 10 = 90 meters at his top speed. So he runs that at 90 / 10 = 9 seconds. So he takes 9 + 2 = 11 seconds to run 100 meters. The answer is 11.
[Question]Mary had 89 stickers. She used 3 large stickers on the front page of her journal and 7 stickers each to 6 other pages of her journal. How many stickers does Mary have remaining?
[Answer]
Mary added a total of 7 stickers / page * 6 pages = 42 stickers to the 6 other pages. In total, Mary added 3 large stickers + 42 stickers = 45 stickers to her journal. Since she started with 89 stickers, she now has 89 - 45 = 44 stickers left. The answer is 44.
