Q: Bryan works as a social media account manager. He does marketing posts, advertisement posts, and customer outreach posts. His client has him spend four hours on customer outreach posts and half that time on advertisement posts each day. Bryan works eight hours a day. How much time in hours each day does he spend on marketing posts?
A: Let M be the number of hours Bryan spends on marketing posts. He spends 4 / 2 = 2 hours on advertisement posts a day. He works M + 4 + 2 = 8 hours a day. Thus, Bryan spends M = 8 - 4 - 2 = 2 hours on marketing posts each day. The answer is 2.

Q: A one-way ticket costs $2. A 30-day pass costs $50. What's the minimum number of rides you will need to take every month so that the 30-day pass is strictly cheaper per ride?
A: For the 30 - day pass to be cheaper, then the average fare should be cheaper than the $2 one - way ticket. If the 30 - day pass costs $50, then I should take at least $50 / $2 = 25 rides to pay the same as a one - way ticket. However, given that we want the 30 - day pass per ride to be strictly cheaper we should ride at least 25 + 1 = 26 times. The answer is 26.
Question: Tommy's home is worth 25% more than he bought it for. He sells it and buys a new house that costs $500,000. If he had to take a loan for the 75% he can't pay, how much did he buy his first house for?
Answer:
He paid 25% of the new home price because 100 - 75 = 25. He paid $125,000 towards the new home because 500,000 x .25 = 125,000. Therefore he paid $100,000 for his first home because 125,000 / 1.25 = 100,000. The answer is 100000.
