Question: A carnival snack booth made $50 selling popcorn each day. It made three times as much selling cotton candy. For a 5-day activity, the booth has to pay $30 rent and $75 for the cost of the ingredients. How much did the booth earn for 5 days after paying the rent and the cost of ingredients?
Answer: The booth made $50 x 3 = $150 selling cotton candy each day. In a day, the booth made a total of $150 + $50 = $200. In 5 days, they made a total of $200 x 5 = $1000. The booth has to pay a total of $30 + $75 = $105. Thus, the booth earned $1000 - $105 = $895. The answer is 895.
[Question]John decides to start collecting art. He pays the same price for his first 3 pieces of art and the total price came to $45,000. The next piece of art was 50% more expensive than those. How much did all the art cost?
