Question: Carlo has a music recital next week. He practiced twice as long on Monday as on Tuesday. On Tuesday, he practiced 10 minutes less than on Wednesday. On Wednesday, he practiced 5 minutes more than on Thursday. On Thursday, he practiced for 50 minutes. If he needs to practice for a total of 5 hours that week, how long should Carlo practice on Friday?
Answer: On Wednesday, Carlo practiced for 50 + 5 = 55 minutes. On Tuesday, he practiced for 55 - 10 = 45 minutes. On Monday, he practiced for 45 x 2 = 90 minutes. So, Carlo practiced for a total of 90 + 45 + 55 + 50 = 240 minutes from Monday to Thursday. He needs to practice for a total of 60 x 5 = 300 minutes. Therefore, he should practice for 300 - 240 = 60 minutes on Friday. The answer is 60.
[Question]Rita put a $120 elliptical machine on layaway at her local sports good store. After making a down payment equal to half the cost of the machine, she completely forgot about it. Sometime before the pick-up date, a store employee called offered to waive all layaway fees and taxes on the condition that Rita paid the balance within 10 days. What is the daily minimum amount, in dollars, that Rita must pay to own the elliptical machine?
[Answer]The down payment Rita made was 120 / 2 = 60 dollars. The balance was therefore 120 - 60 = 60 dollars. To pay off the balance within 10 days, Rita must make payments of 60 / 10 = 6 dollars per day. The answer is 6.
Q: In a batch of 30 apples, 1/6 are too small and 1/3 are not ripe. The others are perfect. Calculate the number of perfect apples.
A: We first calculate the proportion of all the other apples: 1 / 6 + 1 / 4 + 1 / 12 = 2 / 12 + 3 / 12 + 1 / 12 = 6 / 12. So, the proportion of perfect apples is 12 / 12 - 6 / 12 = 6 / 12 = 0.5. Thus the number of perfect apples is 0.5 * 30 = 15. The answer is 15.
Question: Amara had 100 pieces of clothing but started donating her clothes to others. She donated 5 to one orphanage home and triple that to another orphanage home. If she decides to throw away 15 of her old clothes, how many pieces of clothing does she have remaining?
Answer: Amara donates 5 + 5 * 3 = 5 + 15 = 20 pieces of clothing. After donating she is left with 100 - 20 = 80 pieces. After throwing away some clothes, she is left with 80 - 15 = 65 pieces. The answer is 65.
[Question]Tonya spent $90.00 on art supplies. 4 canvases cost $40.00 and a mixed set of paints cost 1/2 that much. She also spent $15.00 on an easel, and the rest of the money on paintbrushes. How much money did she spend on paintbrushes?
[Answer]The canvases cost $40.00 and she spent half that amount on paint so she spent 40 / 2 = $20.00 on paint. She spent $40.00 on canvases, $20.00 on paint and $15.00 on an easel so she spent 40 + 20 + 15 = $75.00. She spent $90.00 total and her other purchases totaled $75.00 so she spent 90 - 75 = $15.00 on paint brushes. The answer is 15.
