Question: Mimi has decided to start going to the gym again. Over the weekend, she spent $8,000 on athletic sneakers and clothes. She spent thrice as much on Nike sneakers as she did on Adidas. What she spent on Adidas was 1/5 the cost of Skechers. If Mimi's Adidas sneakers purchase was $600, what amount did she spend on clothes?
Answer: The Adidas purchase was 1 / 5 that of Skechers, therefore the Skechers cost 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars. Spending three times the cost of Adidas on Nike sneakers translates to 3 * 600 = 1800 dollars. All together, the three athletic - sneaker purchases cost Mimi 600 + 1800 + 3000 = 5400 dollars. Subtracting the amount spent on athletic sneakers from the total spent gives 8000 - 5400 = 2600 dollars. Mimi therefore spent 2600 dollars on clothes. The answer is 2600.

Question: James can make 4 hats out of one yard of velvet. He needs three yards of velvet to make a cloak. How much velvet does he need to make 6 cloaks and 12 hats?
Answer: First find the total amount of velvet James uses on the hats: 12 hats / 4 hats / yard = 3 yards. Then find the total amount of velvet he needs to make the cloaks: 6 cloaks * 3 yards / cloak = 18 yards. Then add those two amounts to find the total amount of velvet he needs: 3 yards + 18 yards = 21 yards. The answer is 21.
Q: The Diving Club offers 2 beginning diving classes on weekdays and 4 beginning classes on each day of the weekend. Each class has room for 5 people. How many people can take classes in 3 weeks?
A:
There are 2 classes x 5 days = 10 classes on weekdays. There are 4 classes x 2 days = 8 classes on weekends. There are a total of 10 + 8 = 18 classes per week. So each week, 18 x 5 = 90 people can take classes. Thus, 90 x 3 = 270 people can take classes in 3 weeks. The answer is 270.
