Q: Henry drinks 15 bottles of kombucha every month. Each bottle costs $3.00 and is eligible for a cash refund of $0.10 per bottle when he takes it to a recycling center. After 1 year, how many bottles of kombucha will he be able to buy after he receives his cash refund?
A: He drinks 15 bottles every month and there are 12 months in 1 year so that's 15 * 12 = 180 bottles. He earns $0.10 on every bottle that he recycles so that's .10 * 180 = $18.00. He has $18.00 and each bottle costs $3.00 so he can buy 18 / 3 = 6 bottles. The answer is 6.
Question: Carl has been selling watermelons on the side of the road for $3 each. This evening he went home with $105 in profit and 18 watermelons. How many watermelons did he start out with this morning?
Answer: Carl sells his watermelons for $3 each so today he sold $105 / $3 per watermelon = 35 watermelons. He had 18 watermelons left over, so this morning he started with 18 + 35 = 53 watermelons. The answer is 53.
[Question]Logan's father receives 50 cartons delivery for his milk business, each carton having 20 jars of milk. On a particular week, he received 20 cartons less when the delivery was done, and during offloading, he realized 3 jars in 5 cartons each was damaged, and one carton was totally damaged. How many jars of milk were good for sale that week?
[Answer]When 20 cartons failed to be delivered, the number of cartons reduced to 50 - 20 = 30 cartons. The total number of jars in all the cartons is 30 * 20 = 600. The total number of jars destroyed in the 5 cartons is 3 * 5 = 15 jars. If one carton was also destroyed, the total number of destroyed jars is 20 + 15 = 35 jars. The number of jars good for sale is 600 - 35 = 565 jars. The answer is 565.
Q: Shelly has ten $10 bills and four fewer $5 bills. How much money does Shelly have in all?
A: Shelly's ten $10 bills amount to 10 x $10 = $100. She has 10 - 4 = 6 $5 bills. The 6 $5 bills amount to 6 x $5 = $30. Thus, Shelly has $100 + $30 = $130 in all. The answer is 130.
Question: While reading in bed with his wife Susan, Charlie heard a noise at the door. It was Sarah entering the bedroom with 4 friends. If there were also 8 people in the living room, how many people are in the house?
Answer: In the bedroom, there are 1 + 1 = 2 people in the house (Charlie and Susan). Sarah and four friends then entered, a total of 4 + 1 = 5 people. Together with Charlie and Susan, there are now 5 + 2 = 7 people in the bedroom. Since there are 8 more people in the living room, the total number of people in the house is 8 + 7 = 15. The answer is 15.
Q: The recipe for a four-person cake requires 2 eggs and 4 cups of milk. Tyler wants to use this recipe to make a cake for eight people. If Tyler has 3 eggs in the fridge, how many more eggs does Tyler need to buy?
A:
A cake for eight people would require 8 / 4 = 2 times as many eggs as a 4 people cake. If a 4 - person cake requires 2 eggs, then an 8 - person cake requires 2 x 2 = 4 eggs. Tyler needs to buy 4 - 3 = 1 more egg. The answer is 1.
