Q: Vicky has an excellent internet connection. She can download up to 50 MB/second. She has to download a new program to finish a college assignment. The program’s size is 360GB. If the internet connection is at maximum speed, how many hours does she have to wait until the program is fully downloaded? (There are 1000 MB per GB.)
A: We have to know how many MB are 360GB, 360GB x 1,000MB / 1GB = 360,000 MB. The total seconds downloading will be 360,000MB ÷ 50MB / second = 7,200 seconds. So she has to wait 7,200 seconds ÷ 3,600 seconds / 1 hour = 2 hours. The answer is 2.

[Question]In January, Bill's labrador puppy weighs 40 pounds and his dachshund puppy weighs 12 pounds. Each dog gains 25% of their starting weight over the year. What's the difference in their weight at the end of the year?
[Answer]First find how much weight the labrador puppy gains: 40 pounds * 25% = 10 pounds. Then add that weight gain to the puppy's starting weight: 40 pounds + 10 pounds = 50 pounds. Then find how much weight the dachshund puppy gains: 12 pounds * 25% = 3 pounds. Then add that weight gain to the puppy's starting weight: 12 pounds + 3 pounds = 15 pounds. Then subtract the dachshund puppy's weight from the labrador puppy's weight to find the difference: 50 pounds - 15 pounds = 35 pounds. The answer is 35.
Q: Akeno spent $2985 to furnish his apartment. Lev spent one-third of that amount on his apartment and Ambrocio spent $177 less than Lev. How many dollars more did Akeno spend than the other 2 people combined?
A: Lev = (1 / 3) * 2985 = $995. Ambrocio = 995 - 177 = $818. 2985 - (995 + 818) = $1172. Akeno spent $1172 more than Lev and Ambrocio combined. The answer is 1172.
Question: Robert and Teddy are planning to buy snacks for their friends. Robert orders five boxes of pizza at $10 each box and ten cans of soft drinks at $2 each. Teddy buys six hamburgers at $3 each and an additional ten cans of soft drinks. How much do they spend in all?
Answer:
Five boxes of pizza cost 5 x $10 = $50. Ten cans of soft drinks cost 10 x $2 = $20. So, Robert spends $50 + $20 = $70. Six hamburgers cost 6 x $3 = $18. Thus, Teddy spends $18 + $20 = $38. Therefore, they spend $70 + $38 = $108 in all. The answer is 106.
