Q: Phantom's mom gave him $50 to buy printer-inks. At the store, he bought two black printer inks which cost $11 each, three red printer inks which cost $15 each, and two yellow printer inks which cost $13 each. Phantom found out that his money is not enough to buy all the printer inks. How much more money should he ask his mom to be able to buy the printer inks?
A: Black printer inks will cost him 2 x $11 = $22. Red printer inks will cost him 3 x $15 = $45. And yellow printer inks will cost him 2 x $13 = $26. The total amount he has to pay for the printer inks is $22 + $45 + $26 = $93. Therefore, Phantom has to ask $93 - $50 = $43 more from his mom to be able to buy the printer inks. The answer is 43.
Question: Lily got a new puppy for her birthday. She was responsible for feeding the puppy 1/4 cup of food three times a day for two weeks starting tomorrow. For the following 2 weeks, Lily will feed him 1/2 cup of food twice a day. She has fed him 1/2 cup of food today. Including today, how much food will the puppy eat over the next 4 weeks?
Answer: 1 week has 7 days so 2 weeks will have 2 * 7 = 14 days. The puppy will eat 1 / 4c three times a day so .25 * 3 = .75 cups per day. The puppy will eat .75 cups of food a day for 14 days for a total of .75 * 14 = 10.5 cups. The puppy will then eat `.5 cup of food twice a day so .5 * 2 = 1 cup per day. The puppy will eat 1 cup of food a day for 14 days for a total of 1 * 14 = 14 cups per day. She has already fed him .5 cup of food and he will eat 10.5 cups and another 14 cups for a total of .5 + 10.5 + 14 = 25 cups of food. The answer is 25.
[Question]Six kids and two adults are going to the circus. Kid's tickets are on sale for only half of the adult tickets. The total cost is $50. How much is one kid's ticket?
[Answer]Let X be the price of one kid's ticket. So the price of one adult ticket is X * 2. Five kids and two adults are going to the circus, so 6 * X + 2 * (X * 2) = $50. So 10X = $50. So the price of one kid's ticket is X = $5. The answer is 5.
Q: There are 4 carriages in a train and each carriage has 25 seats. If each carriage could accommodate 10 more passengers, how many passengers would fill up 3 trains?
A: If each carriage had another 10 seats, each carriage would have 25 + 10 = 35 seats. The train comprises of 4 carriages and each carriage now has 35 seats; therefore a train has 35 x 4 = 140 seats. 3 trains with 140 seats each in total can take up 3 x 140 = 420 passengers. The answer is 420.
Question: Each dandelion produces 300 seeds. 1/3rd of the seeds land in water and die. 1/6 of the starting number are eaten by insects. Half the remainder sprout and are immediately eaten. How many dandelions survive long enough to flower?
Answer: First find the number of seeds that land in water: 300 seeds * 1 / 3 = 100 seeds. Then find the number of seeds that are eaten: 300 seeds * 1 / 6 = 50 seeds. Subtract the number of seeds that are destroyed to find the number that sprout: 300 seeds - 100 seeds - 50 seeds = 150 seeds. Then divide that number by 2 to find the number of sprouts that survive: 150 seeds / 2 = 75 seeds. The answer is 75.
