[Question]How many shirts should Shenny pack for her next vacation if she's planning to use the same shirt when departing on Monday and returning on Sunday and two different shirts each other day?
[Answer]Between Monday and Sunday there are 7 days. If she will be using the same shirt for 2 days then she will need clothes for 7 - 2 = 5 days. Because she wants to use 2 different shirts each of those 5 days then she needs 2 * 5 = 10 shirts. In total she will need 10 shirts between Tuesday and Saturday and 1 shirt for Monday and Sunday = 11 shirts. The answer is 11.
Q: Samira is the assistant coach of a soccer team playing against one of the best teams in their league. She has four dozen water bottles filled with water in a box. In the first break of the match, the 11 players on the field each take two bottles of water from Samira's box, and at the end of the game, take one more bottle each. How many bottles of water are remaining in Samira's box?
A: If the box has four dozen bottles of water, there are 4 * 12 = 48 bottles of water in the box. After the first half, the 11 players take 11 * 2 = 22 bottles of water from the box. If they take 11 more bottles of water at the end of the game, the number increases to 22 + 11 = 33 bottles of water taken. Without the bottles taken, there are 48 - 33 = 15 bottles of water remaining in the box. The answer is 15.
Question: Pat is hunting for sharks to take photos. For every photo he takes he earns $15. He sees a shark about every 10 minutes. His boat fuel costs $50 an hour. If he shark hunts for 5 hours, how much money can he expect to make in profit?
Answer: He will use $250 in fuel because 5 x 50 = 250. He will be shark hunting for 300 minutes because 5 x 60 = 300. He can expect to see 30 sharks because 300 / 10 = 30. He will make $450 off these photos because 30 x 15 = 450. He will make $200 in profit because 450 - 250 = 200. The answer is 200.
