Question: Danielle wants to make her own popsicles. She finds out she needs popsicle sticks, molds, and juice. She has $10 for supplies. She buys one set of molds for $3 and a pack of 100 popsicle sticks for $1. Each bottle of juice makes 20 popsicles and costs $2. How many popsicle sticks will she be left with if she makes as many as she can?
Answer: She has $6 left after buying initial supplies because 10 - 3 - 1 = 6. She can buy 3 bottles of juice because 6 / 2 = 3. She can make 60 popsicles because 20 x 3 = 60. She has 40 sticks left because 100 - 6 60 = 40. The answer is 40.
[Question]Mark has an egg farm. His farm supplies one store with 5 dozen eggs and another store with 30 eggs each day. How many eggs does he supply these two stores in a week?
[Answer]Since a dozen is equal to 12, then Mark's egg farm supplies one store with 5 x 12 = 60 eggs each day. It supplies the two stores with a total of 60 + 30 = 90 eggs each day. Therefore, the egg farm supplies the two stores with 90 x 7 = 630 eggs in a week. The answer is 630.
Q: Cheryl needs 4 cups of basil to make 1 cup of pesto. She can harvest 16 cups of basil from her farm every week for 8 weeks. How many cups of pesto will she be able to make?
A: She harvests 16 cups of basil every week for 8 weeks for a total of 16 * 8 = 128 cups of basil. She needs 4 cups of basil to make 1 cup of pesto and she has 128 cups of basil so she can make 128 / 4 = 32 cups of pesto. The answer is 32.
Question: Shelly has ten $10 bills and four fewer $5 bills. How much money does Shelly have in all?
Answer: Shelly's ten $10 bills amount to 10 x $10 = $100. She has 10 - 4 = 6 $5 bills. The 6 $5 bills amount to 6 x $5 = $30. Thus, Shelly has $100 + $30 = $130 in all. The answer is 130.
[Question]Alex has not washed his clothes for a month; 18 shirts, 12 pants, 17 sweaters, and 13 jeans are waiting to be washed. Alex's washing machine can wash a maximum of 15 items per cycle. Each cycle takes 45 minutes. How many hours will it take the washing machine to wash all the clothes?
[Answer]Alex will wash 18 + 12 + 17 + 13 = 60 items. With 20 items per wash cycle, Alex will wash the clothes in 60 / 15 = 4 cycles. With 45 minutes per cycle, the washing machine will take 45 * 4 = 180 minutes to wash the clothes. As 1 hour has 60 minutes, the washing machine will take 180 / 60 = 3 hours to wash the clothes. The answer is 3.
[Question]Max works for a delivery company as a courier. During one working day, he can deliver a maximum of 35 packages. One week, Max delivered the maximum number of packages, only twice. On two other days, Max unloaded a total of 50 packages, and on one day he unloaded only one-seventh of the maximum possible daily performance. On the last two days, the sum of the packages transported was only fourth-fifth of the maximum daily performance. How many more packages could Max deliver during that week, if he would work at maximum performance?
[Answer]
Max can deliver a maximum of 35 * 7 = 245 packages in one week. For two days Max has carried the maximum number of packages, which in total means 2 * 35 = 70 packages. One day Max has carried only 1 / 7 of the maximum capacity, that is 1 / 7 * 35 = 5 packages. On two other days, Max delivered only 4 / 5 * 35 = 28 packages. That means, Max could deliver 245 - 28 - 5 - 70 - 50 = 92 more packages. The answer is 92.
