[Question]Henrietta is repainting her house. The walls in the living room take up 600 square feet. She has three bedrooms. The walls in each bedroom take up 400 square feet. If one gallon of paint can cover 600 square feet, how many gallons of paint does Henrietta need to paint her house?
[Answer]The total square footage from the three bedrooms is 3 * 400 = 1200 square feet. The total square footage of the house is 1200 + 600 = 1800 square feet. Henrietta needs 1800 / 600 = 3 gallons of paint. The answer is 3.
Q: It will take Richard and Sarah 3 years to save enough for a down payment on a house at their current rates. If the house's downpayment is $108000, calculate the amount each person saves per month if they share the monthly savings.
A: If they are to save every month for three years to reach the target amount, and each year has 12 months, they'll save for 12 * 3 = 36 months. If the house's downpayment is $108000, the total amount they both save per month is $108000 / 36 = $3000 every month. Since they share the monthly savings, each person will pay $3000 / 2 =  = $1500. The answer is 1500.
Question: Tom's rabbit can run at 25 miles per hour. His cat can run 20 miles per hour. The cat gets a 15-minute head start. In hours, how long will it take for the rabbit to catch up?
Answer: The cat got a 15 / 60 = .25 hour head start. That means it ran 20 * .25 = 5 miles. The rabbit goes 25 - 20 = 5 mph faster than the cat. So it takes 5 / 5 = 1 hour for the rabbit to catch up. The answer is 1.
Q: James decides to replace his car. He sold his $20,000 car for 80% of its value and then was able to haggle to buy a $30,000 sticker price car for 90% of its value. How much was he out of pocket?
A:
He sold his car for 20000 * .8 = $16,000. He bought the new car for 30,000 * .9 = $27,000. That means he was out of pocket 27,000 - 16,000 = $11,000. The answer is 11000.
