Q: Nick is trying to raise money for a charity. He is selling candy bars for $5. He is also selling chocolate oranges for $10. He wants to raise $1000. He only had 20 chocolate oranges that he sold out. How many candy bars does Nick need to sell to reach his goal?
A: Nick has made 20 * $10 = $200 from the chocolate oranges. This means he needs to raise another $1000 - $200 = $800. He needs to sell a total of $800 / $5 = 160 candy bars to reach his goal. The answer is 160.
Question: Jenna catches an eel that's 1/3 as long as Bill's. If the combined length of their eels is 64 inches, how long is Jenna's eel?
Answer: Let j be the length of Jenna's eel and b be the length of Bill's eel. We know that b = 3j and b + j = 64. Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 3j + j = 64. Combining like terms, we get 4j = 64. Dividing both sides by 4, we get j = 16. The answer is 16.
[Question]Henry believes in the famous phrase, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away." If a box contains 14 apples, how many weeks can Henry and his brother spend eating 3 boxes of apples if they each eat 1 apple a day?
[Answer]There are a total of 14 apples / box x 3 boxes = 42 apples in the 3 boxes. So, Henry and his brother each have 42 apples / 2 people = 21 apples / person to consume. Since there are 7 days in a week, thus, both of them can consume the 3 boxes of apples in 21 / 7 = 3 weeks. The answer is 3.
Q: Tobias is a tractor salesman. His salary is based on the number of tractors he sells. For every red tractor he sells, he gets paid 10% of the sales price for each tractor. For every green tractor he sells, he gets paid 20% of the sales price for each tractor. This week, he sold 2 red tractors and 3 green tractors. The price of a single red tractor is $20,000. This week, Tobias's salary was $7000. What is the full price of a single green tractor, in dollars?
A: For red tractors, 10% of the sales price is 10 / 100 * $20,000 = $2000. By selling two red tractors, he earned 2 * $2000 = $4000. Thus, of the $7000 salary he was paid this week, $7000 - $4000 = $3000 is from sales of green tractors. And since he sold three green tractors, the commission for the sale of a single green tractor is $3000 / 3 = $1000,. If $1000 is 20% of the full price, then the full price for a green tractor is (100 / 20) * $1000 = $5000. The answer is 5000.
Question: Leonard and his brother Michael bought presents for their father. Leonard bought a wallet at $50 and two pairs of sneakers at $100 each pair, while Michael bought a backpack at $100 and two pairs of jeans at $50 each pair. How much did they spend in all?
Answer: Two pairs of sneakers cost 2 x $100 = $200. So, Leonard spent $50 + $200 = $250. Two pairs of jeans cost 2 x $50 = $100. Thus, Michael spent $100 + $100 = $200. Therefore, they spent a total of $250 + $200 = $450 in all. The answer is 450.
Q: John decides to buy some birds. He got 50 dollars from each of his 4 grandparents. If each bird costs $20, how many wings did all the birds have?
A:
He got 4 * 50 = $200. That means he was able to buy 200 / 20 = 10 birds. Since each bird has 2 wings he got 10 * 2 = 20 wings. The answer is 20.
