Question: Sarah wants to start a cupcake business and was approved for a business loan. The loan has 0% interest if she pays the entire amount back in 5 years, which she decides to do. If she put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments are $600.00, how much was her loan for (including the down payment)?
Answer: To avoid interest she'll make payments for 5 years. There are 12 months in 1 year so that's 5 * 12 = 60 months. Each monthly payment is $600.00 and she'll pay that for 60 months for a total of 600 * 60 = $36,000. She also put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments came out to $36,000 so her loan was for 10000 + 36000 = $46,000. The answer is 46000.
[Question]While buying DVDs at the store, Maria received a 25% discount. If the discount she received is $40, how much did she pay in total?
[Answer]Since 100 percent represent the original price, and she received a 25% discount which is $40, the original price is 100 / 25 * 40 = 160. Maria paid $160 - $40 = $120 after receiving the twenty - five percent discount. The answer is 120.
Q: Rob planned on spending three hours reading in preparation for his literature exam. If he ends up spending only three-quarters of this time reading, and he reads a page every fifteen minutes, how many pages did he read in this time?
A: 1 hour is 60 minutes so 3 hours is 3 * 60 = 180 minutes. Three - quarters of 180 minutes is (3 / 4) * 180 = 135 minutes. He spends 15 minutes on 1 page so he will spend 135 minutes on 135 / 15 = 9 pages. The answer is 9.

[Answer]Tory sold 12 packs + 7 packs = 19 packs to his family members. Tory sold 19 packs + 5 packs = 24 packs in total. He has to sell 50 packs - 24 packs = 26 more packs of cookies to reach his target. The answer is 26.
[Question]Gary manages two Amazon distribution centers. The first center processes 10000 packages per day, and the second center processes three times that volume. If Amazon makes 5 cents of profit per package, how much profit per week do the two centers make combined?
[Answer]
First find how many packages the second center processes per day: 10000 packages / day * 3 = 30000 packages / day. Then add the packages the first center processes: 30000 packages / day + 10000 packages / day = 40000 packages / day. Then multiply the number of packages by Amazon's profit per package to find Amazon's daily profit: 40000 packages / day * $0.05 / package = $2000 / day. Then multiply the daily profits by the number of days in a week to find the weekly profits: $2000 / day * 7 days / week = $14000 / week. The answer is 14000.
