Q: Lydia has a small pool she uses to bathe her dogs. When full, the pool holds 60 gallons of water. She fills her pool using the garden hose, which provides water at the rate of 1.6 gallons per minute. Unfortunately, her pool has a small hole that leaks water at a rate of 0.1 gallons per minute. How long will it take for her to fill the pool, in minutes?
A: With a garden hose that fills at a rate of 1.6 gallons per minute, and a hole that leaks at 0.1 gallons per minute, the net fill rate becomes 1.6 - 0.1 = 1.5 gallons per minute. Therefore, to fill a 60 - gallon pool, it will take 60 / 1.5 = 40 minutes. The answer is 40.
Question: Dawn, Lydia, and Donna have a total of 200 bananas. Dawn has 40 more bananas than Lydia. If Lydia has 60 bananas, how many bananas does Donna have?
Answer: If Lydia has 60 bananas, and Dawn has 40 more, then Dawn has 60 + 40 = 100 bananas. The total number of bananas Dawn and Lydia have is 100 + 60 = 160 bananas. Donna has 200 - 160 = 40 bananas. The answer is 40.
[Question]Mrs. Wilsborough saved $500 to buy concert tickets for her family. She bought 2 VIP tickets at $100 each and 3 regular tickets at $50 each. How much of her savings does Mrs. Wilsborough have after she buys the tickets?
[Answer]The 2 VIP tickets amount to $100 x 2 = $200. The 3 regular tickets amount to $50 x 3 = $150. Thus, the total cost of the tickets is $200 + $150 = $350. Therefore, Mrs. Wilsborough is left with $500 - $350 = $150 of her savings. The answer is 150.
Q: There are 14 girls, 11 boys, and their parents at a park. If they split into 3 equally sized playgroups, each group contains 25 people. How many parents were at the park?
A: There are 3 groups * 25 people / group = 75 people in total. There are 14 girls + 11 boys = 25 children in total. There are 75 people - 25 children = 50 parents. The answer is 50.
Question: Sheila, Purity, and Rose want to rent a house. Sheila has offered to pay five times Purity’s share of the rent. Rose can only afford thrice what Purity pays. If Rose’s share is $1,800, what is the total house rent?
Answer:
Purity will pay a third of Rose's share, which translates to 1800 / 3 = 600 dollars. Sheila has offered to pay 5 * 600 = 3000 dollars. Combining everyone’s share of the rent will give a total of 600 + 3000 + 1800 = 5400 dollars. The answer is 5400.
