[Question]Maddie watches 8 episodes of a TV show this week. Each episode is about 44 minutes long. If she watches 138 minutes of the show on Monday. She does not watch any TV on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, she watches 21 minutes. On Friday, she watches 2 episodes. How many more minutes did she watch over the weekend?
[Answer]Maddie watches a total of 8 * 44 = 352 minutes of the TV show during the week. On Friday, she watches 2 * 44 = 88 minutes. On Monday, Thursday, and Friday, she watches 138 + 21 + 88 = 247 minutes. Thus, on the weekend she watches 352 - 247 = 105 minutes of the TV show. The answer is 105.
Q: In a 50-question test with two marks for each question, Meghan learned that she scored 20 marks less than her friend Jose, who scored 40 more marks than their friend Alisson. Calculate the total score for the three in the test combined if Jose got 5 questions wrong?
A: If you answer every question correctly in the test, the total possible marks are 50 * 2 = 100 marks. If Jose got five questions wrong, he lost 5 * 2 = 10 marks because each question has two marks. Therefore, Jose scored 100 - 10 = 90 marks on the test. Meghan scored 20 marks less than that which Jose got, a total of 90 - 20 = 70 marks. The total marks that Jose and Meghan scored in the test are 70 + 90 = 160. Alisson scored 90 - 40 = 50 marks in the examination, 40 marks less than that which Jose scored on the test. The total number of marks that the three scored in the test is 160 + 50 = 210. The answer is 210.
Question: Teresa orders 2 fancy ham and cheese sandwiches for $7.75 each at a local shop. While there, she decides to pick up some salami for $4.00, more brie which is three times the price of the salami, a 1/4 pound of olives that are $10.00 per pound, 1/2 pound of feta cheese that’s $8.00 a pound and another loaf of french bread that is $2.00. How much does she spend at the local shop?
Answer: She orders 2 sandwiches that are $7.75 so they cost 2 * $7.75 = $15.50. The brie is three times more expensive than the $4.00 salami so the brie costs 3 * $4 = $12.00. She buys 1 / 4 pound of the olives that costs $10.00 a pound so they cost .25 * $10 = $2.50. She buys 1 / 2 pound of feta that costs $8.00 a pound so it costs .5 * $8 = $4.00. The salami is $4.00, the brie is $12.00, olives are $2.50 and the feta is $4.00 and the sandwiches are $15.50 for a total of $4 + $12 + $2.50 + $4 + $15.50 = $38.00. Adding the french bread gives $38.00 + $2.00 = $40. The answer is 40.
[Question]Ben will receive a bonus of $1496. He chooses to allocate this amount as follows: 1/22 for the kitchen, 1/4 for holidays and 1/8 for Christmas gifts for his 3 children. How much money will he still have left after these expenses?
[Answer]Ben's spending for the kitchen is $1496 x 1 / 22 = $68. Ben's spending for holidays is $1496 x 1 / 4 = $374. Ben's spending for children's gifts is $1496 x 1 / 8 = $187. The total amount spent is $68 + $374 + $187 = $629. So, Ben still has $1496 - $629 = $867 left. The answer is 867.
Q: There is very little car traffic on Happy Street. During the week, most cars pass it on Tuesday - 25. On Monday, 20% less than on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, 2 more cars than on Monday. On Thursday and Friday, it is about 10 cars each day. On the weekend, traffic drops to 5 cars per day. How many cars travel down Happy Street from Monday through Sunday?
A: On Monday there are 20 / 100 * 25 = 5 cars passing the street less than on Tuesday. So on Monday, there are 25 - 5 = 20 cars on Happy Street. On Wednesday, there are 20 + 2 = 22 cars on this street. On Thursday and Friday, there is a total of 10 * 2 = 20 cars passing. On the weekend 5 * 2 = 10 cars are passing. So from Monday through Sunday, there are 20 + 25 + 22 + 20 + 10 = 97 cars traveling down the street. The answer is 97.
Question: A farmer hires small trucks to transport his lemons to the markets. The load on a truck may not be more than 900 kilograms. One bag of lemons has a mass of 8 kilograms. If there are 100 bags of lemons, how many more kilograms can still be loaded into the truck?
Answer:
The total weight of 100 bags of lemons is 100 x 8 = 800 kilograms. So, 900 - 800 = 100 kilograms can still be loaded into the truck. The answer is 100.
