Q: In a store, there are three types of cheese: white, swiss, and blue cheese. Each cheese is packaged, and there are 200 grams of cheese in each package. The package prices are $5 for white cheese, $6 for swiss cheese, and $8 for blue cheese. Miley needed to get some for her party, and she decided to buy 5 packs of swiss cheese, 600 grams of blue cheese, and one-third less white cheese. How much did she need to pay for all the cheese?
A: For the swiss cheese, Miley paid 5 * 6 = $30. 600 grams of blue cheese means 600 / 200 = 3 packages. So for the blue cheese, Miley paid 3 * 8 = $24. One - third of the blue cheese means 1 / 3 * 600 = 200 grams. So Miley bought only 600 - 200 = 400 grams of white cheese. Which means 400 / 200 = 2 packages. So for the white cheese, Miley paid 2 * 5 = $10. So in total for all the cheese, Miley paid 30 + 24 + 10 = $64. The answer is 64.
Question: Timothy and Theresa go to the movies very often. Timothy went to the movies 7 more times in 2010 that he did in 2009. In 2009, Timothy went to the movies 24 times. In 2010 Theresa went to see twice as many movies as Timothy did, but in 2009, she only saw half as many as he did. How many movies did Timothy and Theresa go on in both 2009 and 2010?
Answer:
In 2010 Timothy watched 24 + 7 = 31 movies. In 2010 Theresa watched 31 * 2 = 62 movies. In 2009 Theresa watched 24 / 2 = 12 movies. In both 2009 and 2010 Timothy and Theresa watched 24 + 31 + 62 + 12 = 129 movies. The answer is 129.
