[Question]In five years, Grant will be 2/3 the age of the hospital that he is hired into. If Grant is currently 25 years old, how old is the hospital now?
[Answer]If Grant is currently 25 years old, he will be 25 + 5 = 30 years old in five years. If 2 / 3 represents Grant's age in five years, then the fraction representing the number of years the hospital is older than Grant is 1 - 2 / 3 = 1 / 3. If 2 / 3 represents 30 years, 3 / 3, which is the fraction representing the age of the hospital, represents 3 / 3 * 30 * 3 / 2 = 45 years. Currently, the hospital is 45 - 5 = 40 years old. The answer is 40.
Q: At his craftwork store, Howard has a collection of 70 wooden bowls where he rewards two to his customers for every 10 they buy. If he had 20 customers that day, half of whom bought 20 bowls each, calculate the number of bowls remaining in the rewards collection.
A: Half of the 20 customers, which is 1 / 2 * 20 = 10 bought 20 bowls each, receiving 2 for every 10. The total number of reward bowls each customer who bought 20 bowls received is 2 + 2 = 4. If 10 customers bought 20 bowls, Howard gave away 4 * 10 = 40 bowls as rewards. The total number of reward bowls that remained is 70 - 40 = 30. The answer is 30.
Question: John eats 3 meals a day. Breakfast is 500 calories. His lunch contains 25% more calories than that. His dinner is twice as many calories as lunch. He also has 3 shakes that are each 300 calories. How many calories does he get in a day?
Answer: Lunch is 500 * .25 = 125 more calories than breakfast. That means it is 500 + 125 = 625 calories. So dinner is 625 * 2 = 1250 calories. The shakes are 3 * 300 = 900 calories. So in total he eats 500 + 625 + 1250 + 900 = 3275 calories. The answer is 3275.
[Question]Mrs. Brynlee reduced the prices of items in her store by 20% after the local government gave small businesses in her county a subsidy. If the price of a shirt in the store was $60 and that of the leather jacket was $90, calculate the amount of money Teagan will pay for buying 5 shirts and 10 leather jackets at the reduced prices.
[Answer]If the price of a shirt in the store was $60, its price was reduced by 20 / 100 * $60 = $12. The price of a shirt was reduced to $60 - $12 = $48. Teagan will pay $48 * 5 = $240 for buying 5 shirts. If the initial price of the leather jacket was $90, the price reduced by 20 / 100 * $90 = $18. The final leather jacket after Mrs. Brynlee reduced the price by 20% is $90 - $18 = $72. Teagan will pay $72 * 10 = $720 for buying 10 leather jackets. The amount of money Teagan paid to Mrs. Brynlee for the shirts and the leather jackets is $720 + $240 = $960. The answer is 960.
Q: Guise went to a restaurant and ate ten hot dogs on a Monday. That week, he ate two more dogs each day than the previous day. How many hot dogs had Guise eaten by Wednesday that week?
A: Since Guise was eating 2 more hot dogs each day than the previous day and ate 10 hot dogs on Monday, he ate 10 + 2 = 12 hot dogs on Tuesday. By Tuesday Guise had eaten 12 + 10 = 22 hot dogs. On Wednesday, after eating two more hot dogs than the previous day, the total number of hot dogs he ate is 12 + 2 = 14. In the three days, Guise ate 14 + 22 = 36 hotdogs. The answer is 36.
Question: Georgia is sick and coughs 5 times a minute. Her brother Robert is also sick but he coughs twice as much as her. After 20 minutes, how many times have they coughed?
Answer:
Robert coughs twice as much as Georgia who coughs 5 times so Robert coughs 2 * 5 = 10 coughs per minute. Georgia coughs 5 times and Robert coughs 10 times so together they cough 5 + 10 = 15 times per minute. After 20 minutes they will have coughed 15 * 20 = 300 coughs. The answer is 300.
