Q: Mr. Llesis had 50 kilograms of rice. He kept 7/10 of it in storage and gave the rest to Mr. Everest. How many kilograms of rice did Mr. Llesis keep than Mr. Everest?
A: Mr. Llesis kept 50 x 7 / 10 = 35 kilograms of rice. So, he gave 50 - 35 = 15 kilograms of rice to Mr. Everest. Therefore, Mr. Llesis kept 35 - 15 = 20 kilograms more than Mr. Everest. The answer is 20.
Question: Christine figures it would take a pint of paint to paint the front and back of 1 door in her house. She has 8 doors to paint. At the paint store, she can either buy 8 separate pints of paint for $8.00 a pint or a gallon of paint (which is the same as 8 pints) for a flat $55.00 How much money will she save if she buys the gallon of paint instead of 8 pints?
Answer: 8 pints of paint cost $8.00 each so they would cost her 8 * 8 = $64.00. 8 pints of paint cost $64.00 or she could buy a gallon of paint for $55.00. If she buys a gallon, she will save 64 - 55 = $9.00. The answer is 9.
[Question]The price of two kilograms of sugar and five kilograms of salt is $5.50. If a kilogram of sugar costs $1.50, then how much is the price of three kilograms of sugar and a kilogram of salt?
[Answer]Two kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.50 x 2 = $3. Three kilograms of sugar is priced at $1.50 x 3 = $4.50. So five kilograms of salt is priced at $5.50 - $3 = $2.50. Thus, a kilogram of salt is priced at $2.50 / 5 = $0.50. Hence, three kilograms of sugar and a kilogram of salt.s price is $4.50 + $0.50 = $5. The answer is 5.
Q: Louis is making himself a velvet suit for a formal event. The velvet fabric he chose was $24 per yard. He bought a pattern for $15, and two spools of silver thread for $3 each. If he spent $141 for the pattern, thread, and fabric, how many yards of fabric did he buy?
A: Let V be the number of yards of velvet fabric Louis bought. The silver thread cost 2 * 3 = $6. He spent 24V + 15 + 6 = $141 on the suit. The fabric cost 24V = 141 - 15 - 6 = $120. Thus, Louis bought V = 120 / 24 = 5 yards of fabric. The answer is 5.
Question: James is trying to avoid eating too much sodium. He's making a recipe that calls for 2 teaspoons of salt and 8 oz of parmesan cheese. Salt has 50 mg of sodium per teaspoon and parmesan has 25 mg of sodium per oz. If he can't reduce the salt, how many fewer ounces of parmesan cheese does he need to use to reduce the total amount of sodium by 1/3rd?
Answer: First find how much sodium the parmesan has in total by multiply the amount of sodium per ounce by the number of oz: 25 mg / oz * 8 oz = 200 mg. Then use the same process to find how much sodium is in the salt: 50 mg / tsp * 2 tsp = 100 mg. Then find the total sodium in the recipe by adding the sodium from the cheese and the salt: 100 mg + 200 mg = 300 mg. Then multiply the total amount of sodium by 1 / 3 to find how much less sodium James wants: 300 mg * 1 / 3 = 100 mg. Then divide this amount by the amount of sodium per ounce of cheese to find how many fewer ounces of cheese he needs: 100 mg / 25 mg / oz = 4 oz. The answer is 4.
Q: Tom opens an amusement park. It cost $100,000 to open initially. It also cost 1% of that to run per day. He sells 150 tickets a day for $10 each. How long will it take to make back his money?

It cost 100,000 * .01 = $1,000 a day to keep the place open. He makes 150 * 10 = $1500 a day from the park. So he makes a profit of 1500 - 1000 = $500 a day. So it takes 100000 / 500 = 200 days to make back his money. The answer is 200.
