[Question]The cost of transporting 80 bags of cement, each weighing 50 kgs, is $6000. What's the cost of transporting three times as many cement bags, each weighing 3/5 times as many kgs?
[Answer]Three times as many cement bags is 3 * 80 = 240 cement bags. If a bag of cement weighs 50 kg, 3 / 5 times as much weight is 3 / 5 * 50 = 30 kgs. If the cost of transporting 80 bags of cement, each weighing 50 kgs, is $6000, the cost of transporting one bag of cement weighing 50 kg is $6000 / 80 = $75. Since a bag weighing 50 kgs costs $75 to transport, a bag weighing 30 kgs will cost 30 * $75 / 50 = $45 to transport. The cost of transporting 240 cement bags each weighing 30 kgs is $45 * 240 = $10800. The answer is 10800.
Q: Nick hides 10 chocolates in his closet. His brother Alix hides 3 times as many chocolates than Nick hides. Last night, their mom found and took 5 chocolates from Alix. How many more chocolates does Alix have than Nick?
A: Alix has 3 * 10 = 30 chocolates. After his mom took 5 chocolates, Alix has now 30 - 5 = 25 chocolate. So Alix has 25 - 10 = 15 chocolates more than Nick. The answer is 15.
Question: To earn money for her new computer, Tina sells handmade postcards. In a day, she can make 30 such postcards. For each postcard sold, Tina gets $5. How much money did Tina earn if she managed to sell all the postcards she made every day for 6 days?
