[Question]If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket and the basket has 15 apples, how many fruits would Emiliano have consumed if he eats 2/3 of each fruit's quantity in the basket?
[Answer]If there are four times as many apples as oranges in a certain fruit basket, with the number of apples being 15, there are 15 * 4 = 60 oranges in the basket. If Emiliano eats 2 / 3 of the oranges in the basket, he would have taken 2 / 3 * 60 = 40 oranges from the basket. With the number of apples in the basket being 15, if Emiliano eats 2 / 3 of them, 2 / 3 * 15 = 10 apples would have been eaten by Emiliano. The total number of fruits eaten by Emiliano will total 10 + 40 = 50. The answer is 50.
Q: A movie theater company is advertising a deal of a movie ticket, a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy for $20. Normally, a movie ticket costs $8, a bucket of popcorn costs three dollars less, a drink costs a dollar more than popcorn, and a candy costs half as much as a drink. How many dollars does the deal save a customer who buys a ticket, popcorn, drink, and candy normally?
A: The popcorn costs 8 - 3 = $5. The drink costs 5 + 1 = $6. The candy costs 6 / 2 = $3. The normal price is 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 = $22. Thus, the deal saves a customer 22 - 20 = $2. The answer is 2.
Question: Each class uses 200 sheets of paper per day. The school uses a total of 9000 sheets of paper every week. If there are 5 days of school days, how many classes are there in the school?
Answer: Each class uses 200 x 5 = 1000 sheets of paper in a week. Thus, there are 9000 / 1000 = 9 classes in the school. The answer is 9.
[Question]Janet is getting paid to moderate social media posts. She gets paid 25 cents per post she checks. If it takes her 10 seconds to check a post, how much does she earn per hour?
[Answer]First find the number of seconds in an hour: 1 hour * 60 minutes / hour * 60 seconds / minute = 3600 seconds / hour. Then divide the total number of seconds per hour by the number of seconds it takes Janet to read one post: 3600 seconds / hour / 10 seconds / post = 360 posts / hour. Then multiply the number of posts she checks per hour by her pay per post to find her hourly pay: $0.25 / post * 360 posts / hour = $90 / hour. The answer is 90.
Q: Sam earns $10 an hour on Math tutoring. For the first month, he earned $200; and for the second month, he earned $150 more than the first month. How many hours did he spend on tutoring for two months?
A: For the second month, Sam earned $200 + $150 = $350. So, he earned a total of $200 + $350 = $550 for the first two months. Therefore, he spent $550 / $10 = 55 hours on math tutoring for the first two months. The answer is 55.
Question: A special school has a deaf-student population 3 times its blind-student population. If there are 180 students in total, how many blind students are there?
Answer:
Let the number of blind students be x. The number of deaf students will then be 3 * x = 3x students. The total number of students is x + 3x = 180 students. Combining like terms gives 4x = 180. So the value of x is 180 / 4 = 45. The answer is 45.
