Q: There are 8 men at a yoga studio with an average weight of 190 pounds and 6 women with an average weight of 120 pounds. What is the average weight of all 14 men and women?
A: The total weight for the 8 men is 8 men * 190 pounds per man = 1520 pounds. The total weight for the 6 women is 6 women * 120 pounds per woman = 720 pounds. The total weight for 14 men and women is 1520 pounds + 720 pounds = 2240 pounds. The average weight per person is 2240 pounds / 14 men and women = 160 pounds. The answer is 160.

Q: Lex is picking apples in his apple orchard when he notices some of the apples have bruises and some have worms. He wants to save the bruised apples to make applesauce, throw the wormy apples away, and keep the unbruised apples to eat raw. By his count, a fifth of the apples have worms and nine more than one fifth are bruised. He picked 85 apples. How many apples will he have left to eat raw?
A: A fifth of the apples have worms, so Lex has to throw 85 / 5 = 17 apples away. Nine more have bruises than worms, so Lex has 17 + 9 = 26 apples for applesauce. He picked 85 apples, so Lex has 85 - 26 - 17 = 42 apples left to eat raw. The answer is 42.
Question: Mark wants to order a pair of slippers for his wife with her initials embroidered on top. The slippers are currently $50.00 and are 10% off. The embroidery will be $5.50 per shoe and shipping is a flat rate of $10.00. How much will the slippers cost?
Answer:
The slippers are $50.00 and currently 10% off so that’s 50 * .10 = $5.00 discount. The slippers are $50.00 with a $5.00 discount which makes them 50 - 5 = $45.00. The embroidery will be $5.50 per shoe, and 2 shoes make a pair so it will cost 5.50 * 2 = $11.00. The shoes are on sale for $45.00, the embroidery will be $11.00 and the shipping is $10.00 for a total of 45 + 11 + 10 = $66.00. The answer is 66.
