Q: Kekai is running a sundae booth at the carnival. On Monday, he makes a total of 40 sundaes, and he puts 6 m&ms on each sundae. On Tuesday, he makes a total of 20 sundaes, and he puts 10 m&ms on each sundae. If each m&m pack contains 40 m&ms, how many m&m packs does Kekai use?
A: On Monday, Kekai uses 40 * 6 = 240 m&ms. On Tuesday, Kekai uses 20 * 10 = 200 m&ms. Kekai uses a total of 240 + 200 = 440 m&ms. Kekai uses a 440 / 40 = 11 m&m packs. The answer is 11.
Question: As a freelancer, Katherine takes 20 hours to develop a website for her clients. Her junior, Naomi, takes 1/4 times more time to complete creating a similar website. If many clients required her to build their websites in a particular year, and she gave her junior 30 websites to develop, calculate the total number of hours Katherine's junior took to create the 30 websites.
Answer: Katherine's junior takes 1 / 4 * 20 = 5 more hours to build a similar website as Katherine. The total number of hours Katherine's junior takes to build a website is 20 + 5 = 25 hours. If Katherine gave her junior 30 websites to build, her junior spent 30 * 25 = 750 hours on building the 30 websites. The answer is 750.
[Question]Sam bought a dozen boxes, each with 30 highlighter pens inside, for $10 each box. He rearranged five of these boxes into packages of six highlighters each and sold them for $3 per package. He sold the rest of the highlighters separately at the rate of three pens for $2. How much profit did he make in total, in dollars?
[Answer]Sam bought 12 boxes x $10 = $120 worth of highlighters. He bought 12 * 30 = 360 highlighters in total. Sam then took 5 boxes × 6 highlighters / box = 30 highlighters. He sold these boxes for 5 * $3 = $15. After selling these 5 boxes there were 360 - 30 = 330 highlighters remaining. These form 330 / 3 = 110 groups of three pens. He sold each of these groups for $2 each, so made 110 * 2 = $220 from them. In total, then, he earned $220 + $15 = $235. Since his original cost was $120, he earned $235 - $120 = $115 in profit. The answer is 115.
Q: A movie theatre has 250 seats. The cost of a ticket is $6 for an adult and $4 for a child. The theatre is full and contains 188 children. What is the total ticket revenue for this movie session?
A: The number of adults present is 250 – 188 = 62 adults. The revenue generated by adults is 62 * 6 = $372. The revenue generated by children is 188 * 4 = $752. So the total ticket revenue is 372 + 752 = $1124. The answer is 1124.
Question: Out of the 80 students who took the biology exam, only 2/5 of them managed to score 100%. If a score below 80% qualified as failing, and 50 percent of the remaining students who didn't score 100% managed to score over 80%, calculate the number of students who failed the exam.
Answer: The number of students who scored 100% is 2 / 5 * 80 = 32. Out of the 80 students, 80 - 32 = 48 did not score 100%. If 50% of the students who did not score 100% managed to score over 80%, then 50 / 100 * 48 = 24 students scored over 80%. The number of students who failed is 48 - 24 = 24. The answer is 24.
Q: Charley bought 30 pencils. She lost 6 pencils while moving to school, and of course, also lost 1/3 of the remaining pencils because she wasn't very good at keeping track of pencils. How many pencils does she currently have?
A:
If Charley bought 30 pencils and lost 6 while moving, she remained with 30 - 6 = 24 pencils. Because she isn't good at keeping track of her pencils, Charley lost 1 / 3 * 24 = 8 more pencils. She currently has 24 - 8 = 16 pencils. The answer is 16.
