[Question]Brendan works online and is paid every week. Once he gets the money, he recharges his debit card with half of his pay. In June, he earned $5000 and bought himself a used car worth $1500. What is his total amount of remaining money at the end of the month?
[Answer]The total amount of money used to charge the debit card is 1 / 2 * $5000 = $2500. When he buys the used car, he still has $2500 - $1500 = $1000 left. The answer is 1000.
Q: Jerry files a lawsuit against the convenience store where he works and slipped and fell. He's asking for damages for loss of a $50,000 annual salary for 30 years, $200,000 in medical bills, and punitive damages equal to triple the medical and salary damages. If he gets 80% of what he's asking for, for much money does he get?
A: First find the total cost of Jerry's lost salary: $50,000 / year * 30 years = $1,500,000. Then add the cost of the medical bills: $1,500,000 + $200,000 = $1,700,000. Then triple that number to find the cost of the punitive damages: $1,700,000 * 3 = $5,100,000. Then add the cost of the medical and salary damages to find how much Jerry asked for: $1,700,000 + $5,100,000 = $6,800,000. Then multiply that number by 80% to find how much money Jerry is awarded: $6,800,000 * 80% = $5,440,000. The answer is 5440000.
Question: Tom went to the store to buy fruit. Lemons cost $2, papayas cost $1, and mangos cost $4. For every 4 fruits that customers buy, the store offers a $1 discount. Tom buys 6 lemons, 4 papayas, and 2 mangos. How much will he pay?
Answer: For 6 lemons, Tom will pay 6 * 2 = $12. For 3 papayas, he will pay 3 * 1 = $3. For 2 mangos, he will pay 2 * 4 = $8. In total, the cost of the fruits before discount is 12 + 4 + 8 = $24. The total number of fruits is 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 fruits. For 12 fruits, Tom gets a discount of 12 / 4 = $3. Subtracting the discount offered by the store, Tom will pay 24 - 3 = $21. The answer is 21.
[Question]A book costs $4 more than a CD. The CD is 30% cheaper than a $20 album. How much does the book cost?
[Answer]The CD is 30 / 100 * 20 = $6 cheaper than the album. So the cost of the CD is 20 - 6 = $14. The book is $4 more expensive than the CD, which means it cost 14 + 4 = $18. The answer is 18.
Q: Michael has 36 pets. 25% of them are dogs, 50% are cats, and the rest are bunnies. How many bunnies does he have?
A: 25% of his pets are bunnies because 100% - 50% - 25% = 25%. He has 9 bunnies because 36 x .25 = 9. The answer is 9.
Question: Yolanda scored 345 points over the entire season. There were 15 games over the season. She averaged 4 free throws (worth one point), and 5 two-point baskets per game. How many three-point baskets did she average a game?
Answer:
She averaged 23 points per game because 345 / 15 = 23. She averaged 10 points a game off two - point baskets because 5 x 2 = 10. She averaged 4 points a game from free throws because 4 x 1 = 4. She averaged 14 points a game off non - three point baskets because 10 + 4 = 14. She averaged 9 points from three - pointers because 23 - 14 = 9. She averaged 3 three - pointers a game because 9 / 3 = 3. The answer is 3.
