Question: James buys 20 pounds of beef and half that much pork. He uses 1.5 pounds of meat to make meals at his restaurant. Each meal sells for $20. How much money did he make?
Answer: He bought 20 / 2 = 10 pounds of pork. So he has 20 + 10 = 30 pounds of meat. That means he can make 30 / 1.5 = 20 meals. So he makes 20 * 20 = $400. The answer is 400.
[Question]Renne earns $4000 per month and wants to save half of her monthly earnings to buy the vehicle of her dreams worth $16000. How many months of saving will it take her to buy the vehicle?
[Answer]If she's saving half her salary every month, she saves 1 / 2 * $4000 = $2000 every month. If the vehicle is worth $16000, and she saves $2000 every month to buy it, she will have to save for 16000 / 2000 = 8 months. The answer is 8.
Q: Fran is in charge of counting votes for the book club's next book, but she always cheats so her favorite gets picked. Originally, there were 10 votes for Game of Thrones, 12 votes for Twilight, and 20 votes for The Art of the Deal. Fran throws away 80% of the votes for The Art of the Deal and half the votes for Twilight. What percentage of the altered votes were for Game of Thrones?
A: First find the total number of The Art of the Deal votes Fran throws away: 80% * 20 votes = 16 votes. Then subtract these votes from the total number of The Art of the Deal votes to find the altered number: 20 votes - 16 votes = 4 votes. Then divide the total number Twilight votes by 2 to find the altered number of votes: 12 votes / 2 = 6 votes. Then add the altered number of votes for each book to find the total altered number of votes: 6 votes + 4 votes + 10 votes = 20 votes. Then divide the number of votes for Game of Thrones by the total altered number of votes and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 10 votes / 20 votes * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.
Question: Walmart sells a multitool with a screwdriver, 3 knives, and two other tools. Target sells a multitool with a screwdriver, twice as many knives as Walmart, three files and a pair of scissors. How many more tools does the Target multitool have compared to Walmart?
Answer:
First find the total number of tools in the Walmart multitool: 1 tool + 3 tools + 2 tools = 6 tools. Then find the total number of knives in the Target multitool: 3 knives * 2 = 6 knives. Then find the total number of tools in the Target multitool: 1 tool + 6 tools + 3 tools + 1 tool = 11 tools. Then subtract the number of tools in the Walmart multitool from the number in the Target multitool to find the difference: 11 tools - 6 tools = 5 tools. The answer is 5.
