[Question]Jamie owns 4 Persian cats and 2 Maine Coons. Gordon owns half as many Persians and one more Maine Coon than Jamie. Hawkeye owns one less Maine Coon than Gordon and no Persian cats. If they bring all of their cats together to play, how many cats are there in total?
[Answer]Gordon has 4 / 2 = 2 Persians. Gordon has 2 + 1 = 3 Maine Coons. Hawkeye has 3 - 1 = 2 Maine Coons. In total, they have 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 0 = 13 cats. The answer is 13.
Q: John has taken 10 pictures every day for the past 3 years. He saves them in raw format so each memory card can store 50 images. Each memory card costs $60. How much does he spend on memory cards?
A: He takes pictures for 3 * 365 = 1095 days. So he takes 10 * 1095 = 10,950 pictures. That means he needs 10950 / 50 = 219 memory cards. So he spends 219 * 60 = $13140 on memory cards. The answer is 13140.
Question: Edna made cookies for all of her neighbors and left the cookies outside for them to take. She made 150 cookies so her 15 neighbors could get 10 cookies each. However, the neighbor who arrived last told Edna there were only 8 cookies left. Edna thinks it was Sarah who took too many cookies. If all the other neighbors took the correct amount of cookies, how many cookies did Sarah take?
Answer: Sarah and the final neighbor took the wrong amount, which means that 15 neighbors – 1 Sarah – 1 final neighbor = 13 neighbors took 10 cookies each. This is a total of 13 neighbors * 10 cookies = 130 cookies taken by the first 13 neighbors. There were only 8 cookies left, so that means the first 13 neighbors and Sarah took a total of 150 – 8 = 142 cookies. So Sarah must have taken 142 – 130 = 12 cookies. The answer is 12.
[Question]Stacy just bought a 6 month prescription of flea & tick medicine for her dog for $150.00 online. Her cashback app was offering 10% cashback and she has a mail-in rebate for $25.00 on a 6-month prescription. How much will the medicine cost after cash back and rebate offers?
[Answer]Her cash back app gave her 10% back on $150.00 so that's .10 * 150 = $15.00 cash back. She received $15.00 from the cashback app and has a $25.00 mail - in rebate for a total of 15 + 25 = $40.00 discounts. She spent $150.00 for the medicine and has $40.00 worth of discounts so the medicine will cost 150 - 40 = $110.00. The answer is 110.
Q: Laura is hosting a carwash. She will charge $5 for a car, $6 for a truck, and $7 for an SUV. They raised $100 in total. If they washed 5 SUVs and 5 trucks, how many cars did they wash?
A: They earned $30 from trucks because 5 x 6 = 30. They earned $35 from SUVs because 5 x 7 = 35. They earned $35 from cars because 100 - 35 - 30 = 35. They washed 7 cars because 35 / 5 = 7. The answer is 7.
