Question: In 2004, there were 60 kids at a cookout. In 2005, half the number of kids came to the cookout as compared to 2004. In 2006, 2/3 as many kids came to the cookout as in 2005. How many kids came to the cookout in 2006?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
In 2005, 60/2=30 kids came to the cookout.
|
||
In 2006, 30/3*2=20 kids came to the cookout.
|
||
The answer is 20

Question: Zilla spent 7% of her monthly earnings on rent, half of it on her other monthly expenses, and put the rest in her savings. If she spent $133 on her rent, how much does she deposit into her savings account in a month?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
Since $133 is equal to 7% of her earnings, then 1% is equal to $133/7 = $19.
|
||
The total monthly earning of Zilla is represented by 100%, so $19 x 100 = $1900 is her monthly earnings.
|
||
So, $1900/2 = $950 is spent on her other monthly expenses.
|
||
The total amount spent on the rent and other monthly expenses is $133 + $950 = $1083.
|
||
Hence, she saves $1900 - $1083 = $817 per month.
|
||
The answer is 817

Question: If Buzz bought a pizza with 78 slices at a restaurant and then decided to share it with the waiter in the ratio of 5:8, with Buzz's ratio being 5, what's twenty less the number of slices of pizza that the waiter ate?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
The total ratio representing the slices of pizza that Buzz bought is 5+8=13
|
||
If he shared the slices of pizza with the waiter, the waiter received a fraction of 8/13 of the total number of slices, which totals 8/13 * 78 = 48 slices
|
||
Twenty less the number of slices of pizza that the waiter ate is 48-20 = 28
|
||
The answer is 28

Question: Jame gets a raise to $20 per hour and works 40 hours a week. His old job was $16 an hour for 25 hours per week. How much more money does he make per year in his new job than the old job if he works 52 weeks a year?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
He makes 20*40=$800 per week
|
||
He used to make 16*25=$400 per week
|
||
So his raise was 800-400=$400 per week
|
||
So he makes 400*52=$20,800 per year more
|
||
The answer is 20800

|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
Mr. Gardner bakes a total of 20 + 25 + 35 = 80 sweet treats
|
||
Each student will receive 80 / 20 = 4 sweet treats
|
||
The answer is 4

Question: A used car lot has 24 cars and motorcycles (in total) for sale. A third of the vehicles are motorcycles, and a quarter of the cars have a spare tire included. How many tires are on the used car lot’s vehicles in all?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
The used car lot has 24 / 3 = 8 motorcycles with 2 tires each.
|
||
The lot has 24 - 8 = 16 cars for sale
|
||
There are 16 / 4 = 4 cars with a spare tire with 5 tires each.
|
||
The lot has 16 - 4 = 12 cars with 4 tires each.
|
||
Thus, the used car lot’s vehicles have 8 * 2 + 4 * 5 + 12 * 4 = 16 + 20 + 48 = 84 tires in all.
|
||
The answer is 84

Question: Norma takes her clothes to the laundry. She leaves 9 T-shirts and twice as many sweaters as T-shirts in the washer. When she returns she finds 3 sweaters and triple the number of T-shirts. How many items are missing?
|
||
Let's think step by step
|
||
Norma left 9 T-shirts And twice as many sweaters, she took 9 * 2= 18 sweaters
|
||
Adding the T-shirts and sweaters, Norma left 9 + 18 = 27 clothes
|
||
When she came back, she found 3 sweaters And triple the number of T-shirts, she found 3 * 3 = 9 T-shirts
|
||
Adding the T-shirts and sweaters, Norma found 3 + 9 = 12 clothes
|
||
Subtracting the clothes she left from the clothes she found, 27 - 12 = 15 clothes are missing
|
||
The answer is 15
