Question: Ursula went to the store and bought butter, bread, a package of cheese, and tea. The bread was 2 times cheaper than the butter, while the price of the butter was 80% of the price of cheese. Tea was the most expensive and cost twice the price of a package of cheese. If the tea cost $10, how much did Ursula pay for her purchases?
Answer: The price of the tea was twice the price of the cheese, so the cheese cost was 10 / 2 = $5. The price of the butter was 80 / 100 * 5 = $4. If the bread was 2 times cheaper than butter, that means it cost 4 / 2 = $2. That means Ursula paid for all her shopping 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = $21. The answer is 21.
[Question]Three train stations are 2 hours apart from one another. Kira travels from the first station to the third, taking a 30 minutes break at the second station. What's the total time, in minutes, that Kira takes to travel between the first and third station?
[Answer]Travel between the three stations takes 2 + 2 = 4 hours. The total time for the journey is 4 * 60 = 240 minutes. If Kira takes a 30 - minute break, her journey takes 240 + 30 = 270 minutes. The answer is 270.
Q: Pima invested $400 in Ethereum. In the first week, it gained 25% in value. In the second week, it gained an additional 50% on top of the previous gain. How much is her investment worth now?
A: For the first week, her investment gain is $400 * 25% = $100. This leaves her investment with a value of $400 + $100 = $500. For the second week, her investment increased by $500 * 50% = $250. Pima's investment in Ethereum is now worth a total of $500 + $250 = $750. The answer is 750.
Question: Josh has 100 feet of rope. He cuts the rope in half, and then takes one of the halves and cuts it in half again. He grabs one of the remaining pieces and cuts it into fifths. He's stuck holding one length of the rope he's most recently cut. How long is it?
Answer: John starts with 100ft of rope that he cuts in half, meaning he has 100 / 2 = 50 - foot sections of rope. He then takes one of these sections and cuts it in half again, leaving him with two 50 / 2 = 25 - foot sections of rope. He then takes one of these sections and cuts it into fifths, leaving him with 25 / 5 = 5 foot sections of rope, one of which he is now holding. The answer is 5.
[Question]John writes 3 stories every week. Each short story is 50 pages. He also writes a novel that is 1200 pages each year. Each sheet of paper can hold 2 pages. Over 12 weeks, how many reams of paper does he need to buy if a ream contains 500 sheets?
[Answer]He writes 3 * 50 = 150 pages a week. That means he writes 150 * 52 = 7800 pages of short stories a year. So he writes 7800 + 1200 = 9000 pages a year. So he needs 9000 / 2 = 4500 sheets of paper. That means he needs 4500 / 500 = 9 reams of paper. The answer is 3.
