[Question]Tom wants to visit Barbados. He needs to get 10 different vaccines to go and a doctor's visit. They each cost $45 and the doctor's visit costs $250 but insurance will cover 80% of these medical bills. The trip itself cost $1200. How much will he have to pay?
[Answer]The medical cost comes out to 45 * 10 + 250 = $700. Insurance covers 700 * .8 = $560. So he has to pay 700 - 560 = $140. Added to the cost of the trip he has to pay 1200 + 140 = $1340. The answer is 1340.
Q: Jared likes to draw monsters. He drew a monster family portrait. The mom had 1 eye and the dad had 3. They had 3 kids, each with 4 eyes. How many eyes did the whole family have?
A: The mom and dad monsters had 1 + 3 = 4 eyes. The 3 kids had 4 eyes each, so 3 x 4 = 12 eyes. Altogether, the monster family had 4 parent eyes + 12 child eyes = 16 eyes. The answer is 16.
Question: Nancy has six pairs of boots, nine more pairs of slippers than boots, and a number of pairs of heels equal to three times the combined number of slippers and boots. How many shoes (individual shoes, not pairs) does she have?
Answer: First find how many pairs of slippers Nancy has: 6 pairs + 9 pairs = 15 pairs. Then add that number to the number of pairs of boots she has: 15 pairs + 6 pairs = 21 pairs. Then triple that number to find how many pairs of heels she has: 21 pairs * 3 = 63 pairs. Then add the number of pairs of each kind of shoe she has: 15 pairs + 6 pairs + 63 pairs = 84 pairs. Then multiply the number of pairs by 2 to find the number of individual shoes she has: 84 pairs * 2 shoes / pair = 168 shoes. The answer is 168.
[Question]John bakes 12 coconut macaroons, each weighing 5 ounces. He then packs an equal number of the macaroons in 4 different brown bags, ready for delivery. When he briefly leaves the kitchen to pick the phone, his little brother Steve eats the entire contents of one of the brown bags. What is the total weight, in ounces, of the remaining coconut macaroons?
[Answer]Each brown bag has 12 / 4 = 3 macaroons. After Steve eats a bag, there are 12 - 3 = 9 macaroons left. The total weight is therefore 9 * 5 = 45 ounces. The answer is 45.
Q: Betty & Paige are raising money for their kids' little league team by hosting a bake sale. Betty has baked 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies, 6 dozen oatmeal raisin cookies and 2 dozen regular brownies. Paige baked 6 dozen sugar cookies, 3 dozen blondies and 5 dozen cream cheese swirled brownies. If they sell the cookies for $1.00 apiece and the blondies/brownies at $2.00 apiece, how much money will they raise?
A: Together, they made 4 + 6 + 6 dozen cookies for a total of 16 dozen cookies. One dozen equals 12 cookies, so 12 * 16 = 192 cookies. Together, they made 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 dozen blondies / brownies. One dozen equals 12 brownies so 12 * 10 = 120 blondies / brownies. They sold the cookies for $1.00 each so 1(192 = $192.00 in cookies. They sold the blondies / brownies for $2.00 each so 2 * 120 = $240 in blondies / brownies. Together, they made 192 + 240 = $432.00 for the little league team. The answer is 432.
Question: Andrew holds a bake sale to fundraise for charity. The bake sale earns a total of $400. Andrew keeps $100 to cover the cost of ingredients. He donates half of the remaining total to the local homeless shelter, and the other half to the local food bank. Andrew also decides to donate $10 from his own piggy bank to the local homeless shelter. How much money in total does Andrew donate to the homeless shelter?
Answer:
After paying off the cost of ingredients, Andrew has $400 - $100 = $300. Since half of the money goes to the homeless shelter, the shelter receives $300 / 2 = $150. After contributing some of his own money, Andrew donates $150 + $10 = $160 to the shelter. The answer is 160.
