Q: Simon is picking blueberries to make blueberry pies. He picks 100 blueberries from his own bushes and another 200 blueberries from blueberry bushes growing nearby. If each pie needs 100 blueberries, how many blueberry pies can Simon make?
A: Simon has picked a total of 100 + 200 = 300 blueberries. This means he can make 300 blueberries / 100 blueberries per pie = 3 pies. The answer is 3.
Question: Out of the 200 students in a class, thirty percent like the color blue. Among the remaining students who don't like the color blue, 40% like the color red, and the rest like the color yellow. Calculate the combined number of students who like the color yellow and the color blue.
Answer: The number of students who like the color blue is 30 / 100 * 200 = 60. Out of the 200 students in the class, 200 - 60 = 140 don't like the color blue. Among the students who don't like the color blue, 40 / 100 * 140 = 56 students like the color red. If the rest of the students like neither blue nor red and only like the color yellow, their number is 140 - 56 = 84. The total number of students who like the color yellow and those who like the color blue is 84 + 60 = 144. The answer is 144.
[Question]Salaria is growing oranges this summer. She bought two types of trees. She has 50% of tree A and 50% of tree B. Tree A gives her 10 oranges a month and 60% are good. Tree B gives her 15 oranges and 1/3 are good. If she gets 55 good oranges per month, how many total trees does she have?
[Answer]Each tree A gives her six good oranges a month 10 x .6 = 6. Each tree B gives her five good oranges a month because 15 x (1 / 3) = 5. On average, a tree gives her 5.5 oranges a month because .5(6) + .5(5) = 5.5. She has ten total trees because 55 / 5.5 = 10. The answer is 10.
Q: Christina's age will be half of 80 years in five years to come. If Oscar will be 3/5 times as old as Christina is now in 15 years, calculate Oscar's age now.
A: Christina's age will be half of 80 in five years to come, meaning in five years, Christina's age will be 1 / 2 * 80 = 40 years. If in five years Christina will be 40, currently she is 40 - 5 = 35 years old. Oscar will be 3 / 5 times as old as Christina is now in 15 years, meaning he will be 3 / 5 * 35 = 21 years old in 15 years. Currently, Oscar is 21 - 15 = 6 years old. The answer is 6.
Question: Lizzy had $30. She loaned out $15 to her friend. How much will Lizzy have if her friend returned the money with an interest of 20%?
Answer: Initially, Lizzy had $30; she loaned out $15 so she has $30 - $15 = $15 left. Her friend is returning the $15 with 20% interest for a total of $15 + ($15 * (20 / 100)) = $18. Lizzy will now have $15 + $18 = $33. The answer is 33.
Q: Nate went out to do his daily exercises. In 8 seconds, he ran a distance equal to four times the length of a football field. He rested for a while, then ran 500 more meters. If the field's length is 168 meters, how far did Nate ran?
