Answer this question:When Pogo, the four-legged martian, walks across the soft Martian soil, it leaves 4 footprints every meter. But Grimzi, the three-legged Plutonian, leaves only 3 footprints in the soft sands of Pluto for every 6 meters it walks. If Pogo travels 6000 meters across the soil of Mars, and Grimzi travels for 6000 meters across the fine sands of Pluto, what is the combined total number of footprints the two creatures will leave on the surfaces of their respective planets?
Since Pogo leaves 4 prints per meter, then over 6000 meters it would leave 4 * 6000 = 24,000 footprints on the soils of Mars. Grimzi leaves 3 prints per 6 feet, or 3 / 6 = 0.5 footprints per meter. Then over 6000 meters, Grimzi leaves 0.5 * 6000 = 3000 footprints on the sands of Pluto. In total, the two creatures will leave 24,000 + 3000 = 27,000 footprints.
The answer is 27000.

Answer this question:Lyra bought a pair of shoes at a 20% discount. If she paid $480, how much was the original price of the pair of shoes?
Lyra only paid $480 for the pair of shoes which is only 100% - 20% = 80% of the original price. So let x be the original price. Then 0.8x = $480. Thus x = $480 / 0.8 = $600.
The answer is 600.

Answer this question:Josie and her family went on a safari and had an exciting time watching different animals grazing and playing together. She decided to count each animal she saw and calculated their total number. She counted 80 antelopes, 34 more rabbits than antelopes, 42 fewer hyenas than the total number of antelopes and rabbits combined, 50 more wild dogs than hyenas, and the number of leopards was half the number of rabbits. What the total number of animals that Josie counted?
The number of rabbits was 80 + 34 = 114. The total number of rabbits and antelopes is 114 + 80 = 194. The number of hyenas was 42 fewer than the combined number of antelopes and rabbits, which is 194 - 42 = 152. The number of wild dogs was 50 more than the number of hyenas, that is 152 + 50 = 202. The number of leopards is 1 / 2 * 114 = 57. The total number of animals Josie saw is 57 + 202 + 152 + 114 + 80 = 605.
The answer is 605.

Answer this question:Studying for her test, Mitchell had read ten chapters of a book before 4 o'clock. When it clocked 4, Mitchell had read 20 pages of the 11th chapter of the book she was studying from. After 4 o'clock, she didn't read the remaining pages of chapter eleven but proceeded and read 2 more chapters of the book. If each chapter in the book had 40 pages, calculate the total number of pages that Mitchell had read altogether?

Since each chapter of the book has 40 pages, Mitchell had read 10 * 40 = 400 pages from the first ten chapters. After reading 20 pages of the eleventh chapter, the total number of pages that Mitchell had read is 400 + 20 = 420. The next two chapters that she read had 2 * 40 = 80 pages. In total, Mitchell read 420 + 80 = 500 pages of the book that day.
The answer is 500.
