[Question]Papi Calot prepared his garden to plant potatoes. He planned to plant 7 rows of 18 plants each. But he still has a bit of room left, so he’s thinking about adding 15 additional potato plants. How many plants does Papi Calot have to buy?
[Answer]Let’s first calculate the number of plants that Papi had planned: 7 rows * 18 plants / row = 126 plants. Now let’s add the other plants: 126 plants + 15 plants = 141 plants. So Papi has to buy 141 plants. The answer is 141.
Q: Isabella has $45 more than Sam but only $15 more than Giselle. If Giselle has $120, calculate the total amount of money each shopper will receive if Isabella, Sam, and Giselle donate the money to three shoppers at their local town's supermarket who then decides to share it equally.
A: If Isabella has $15 more than Giselle, she has $120 + $15 = $135. Combined, Isabella and Giselle has $135 + $120 = $255. Isabella has $45 more than Sam, meaning Sam has $135 - $45 = $90. Together, Sam, Isabella, and Giselle has $255 + $90 = $345. if they donate the money to three shoppers at their local town's supermarket who share it equally, each shopper will receive $345 / 3 = $115. The answer is 115.
Question: In one day, Ella's dog eats 4 pounds of food for every one pound of food that Ella eats. How much food do Ella and her dog in 10 days if Ella eat 20 pounds of food each day?
Answer: If Ella's dog eats 4 pounds of food for every one pound of food that Ella eats, when Ella eats 20 pounds of food in a day, Ella's dog eats 4 * 20 = 80 pounds of food. Together, in one day, Ella and her dog eats 80 + 20 = 100 pounds. In 10 days, Ella and her dog will eat 10 * 100 = 1000 pounds of food. The answer is 1000.
[Question]Last week, Mr. Sanchez bought 6 feet of rope for their class activity. He found that he lacks rope for the activity so this week, he bought 4 feet less than last week. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, how many inches of ribbon did Mr. Sanchez buy in all?
[Answer]Mr. Sanchez bought 6 - 4 = 2 feet of rope. He bought a total of 6 + 2 = 8 feet of rope. In inches, this is equal to 8 x 12 = 96. The answer is 96.
Q: In the honey shop, the bulk price of honey is $5 per pound and the minimum spend is $40 before tax. The honey is taxed at $1 per pound. If Penny has paid $240 for honey, by how many pounds has Penny’s purchase exceed the minimum spend?
A: Including tax, a pound of honey costs 5 + 1 = 6 dollars. The minimum purchase equals 40 / 5 = 8 pounds of honey. Penny has bought 240 / 6 = 40 pounds of honey. Penny has exceeded the minimum purchase by 40 - 8 = 32 pounds. The answer is 32.
Question: Mark went to a store where he spent one-half of his money, and then spent $14 more. He then went to another store where he spent one-third of his starting money, and then spent $16 more. If he then had no money left, how much did he have when he entered the first store?
Answer:
Let X be the money Mark had. Mark spent 1 / 2 * X + 14 in the first store and 1 / 3 * X + 16 in the second store. Mark has X - 1 / 2 * X - 14 - 1 / 3 * X - 16 = $0 left. Combining like terms, we get 1 / 6 * X - 30 = $0. Adding 30 to both sides and multiplying both sides by 6, we find that Mark had X = $180 when he entered the first store. The answer is 180.
