Q: Jane purchased 15 ice cream cones and 5 cups of pudding. Each ice cream cone cost $5 and each cup of pudding cost $2. How much more did Jane spend on ice cream than on pudding, in dollars?
A: The cost of 15 cones of ice cream was 15 × $5 = $75. The cost of the 5 cups of pudding was 5 × $2 = $10. Jane spent $75 - $10 = $65 more on ice cream than on pudding. The answer is 65.
Question: Last night Kannon had 3 apples, a banana, and 4 oranges for dinner. Today she is planning to have 4 more apples than last night, 10 times as many bananas as she ate last night, and twice as many oranges as apples she'll have today. How many fruits would she have eaten so far in the two meals?
Answer: The total number of fruits that Kannon ate last is 3 apples + 1 banana + 4 oranges = 8. Since last night Kannon had 3 apples, today she'll eat 3 + 4 = 7 apples. She is also planning to eat 10 times as many bananas as she ate last night, a total of 1 * 10 = 10 bananas. Kannon will also eat twice as many oranges as apples she'll have today, which means she'll eat 7 * 2 = 14 oranges. Tonight Kannon will eat 14 oranges + 10 bananas + 7 apples = 31 fruits. In total, after tonight, Kannon would have eaten 31 + 8 = 39 fruits. The answer is 39.
[Question]Mabel is counting sharks in the ocean. She knows that of the fish that she sees, 25% will be sharks and 75% will be another type of fish. On day one she counts 15 fish. On day 2 she counts three times as many. How many sharks did she count over those two days?
[Answer]She counts 45 fish on day 2 because 3 x 15 = 45. She counts 60 fish in total because 15 + 45 = 60. She counts 15 sharks because 60 x .25 = 15. The answer is 15.
Q: Jenny wants to heat a dish for dinner. It needs to be at 100 degrees before it is ready to eat. It is 20 degrees when she places it in the oven, and it heats up 5 degrees every minute. How many minutes will it take to be ready?
A: To determine this, we must first figure out the required change in temperature. To do this, we perform 100 - 20 = 80 degrees of required temperature change. Next, we divide this amount by the rate of change per minute, performing 80 / 5 = 16 minutes of cooking time. The answer is 16.
Question: Jose owns a swimming pool. He charges $3 for kids and twice that amount for adults. If 8 kids and 10 adults swim in his swimming pool per day, how much money will he earn per week?
Answer: Jose can earn $3 x 8 = $24 per day for kids. He charges $3 x 2 = $6 per adult. So, he can earn $6 x 10 = $60 per day for adults. Jose earns $60 + $24 = $84 per day for kids and adults. Therefore, he can earn $84 x 7 = $588 per week. The answer is 588.
Q: Tom needs to buy a new gaming system. He trades in his super Nintendo for an original NES. The SNES is worth $150 and the store gives him 80% of that value. He gives $80 and gets back $10 change and a game worth $30. How much was the NES on sale for?
A:
He traded in the SNES for 150 * .8 = $120. Including the money he gave, he spent 120 + 80 = $200. He got 10 + 30 = $40 in change. So the NES cost 200 - 40 = $160. The answer is 160.
