[Question]Hilary is shucking corn from ears that grew on her farm. She gets four ears of corn per stalk, and she has 108 stalks growing. Half the ears of corn have 500 kernels of corn and the other half have 100 more. How many kernels of corn does Hilary have to shuck?
[Answer]She has 108 * 4 = 432 ears of corn to shuck. She gets 500 kernels of corn from half the ears and 500 + 100 = 600 kernels from the other half. Half the number of ears of corn is 432 / 2 = 216 ears. Thus, Hilary has 216 * 500 + 216 * 600 = 108000 + 129600 = 237600 kernels to shuck. The answer is 237600.
Q: A bus has a carrying capacity of 80 people. At the first pickup point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3/5 of its carrying capacity. If there were 50 people at the next pick-up point, how many people could not take the bus because it was full?
A: At the first pick - up point, the number of people who entered the bus was 3 / 5 of its carrying capacity, a total of 3 / 5 * 80 = 48. The available seats in the bus after the first pick up point is 80 - 48 = 32. If there were 50 people in the second pick - up station, and only 32 sits were available, the number of people who did not take the bus because it was full is 50 - 32 = 18. The answer is 18.
Question: Jenna sets a goal of reading 600 pages a month for the month of September (which has 30 days). She knows that she'll be really busy at work the four weekdays starting on the 13th, so she won't have time to read. She can also read 100 pages on the 23rd, when she'll have a long boring flight. If she reads the same number of pages every other day, how many pages a day does she need to read?
Answer: First, subtract the number of days Jenna can't read from the number of days in September: 30 days - 4 days = 26 days. Then subtract the one day when Jenna will read 100 pages: 26 days - 1 day = 25 days. Now subtract the 100 pages Jenna will read on her flight from her overall goal: 600 pages - 100 pages = 500 pages. Finally, divide that number of pages by the number of days Jenna will read the standard amount: 500 pages / 25 days = 20 pages per day. The answer is 20.
Q: Emily just purchased 2 pairs of curtains for $30.00 each and 9 wall prints at $15.00 each. The store also offers an installation service. For $50.00 they will come to your house and professionally hang your curtains and prints. If Emily agrees to this service, how much will her entire order cost?
A:
She buys 2 pair of curtains for $30.00 each so that's 2 * 30 = $60.00. She buys 9 wall prints at $15.00 each so that's 9 * 15 = $135.00. The curtains cost $60.00, the prints are $135.00 and the installation service is $50.00 for a total of 60 + 135 + 50 = $245.00. The answer is 245.
