Q: Silvia wants to buy a new guitar online. The price of the guitar has a suggested retail price of $1000. Guitar Center has a special deal of 15% off but has a shipping fee of $100. Sweetwater has a 10% off deal with free shipping. How much will she save by buying from the cheaper store compared to the other store?
A: The discount saved when buying from Guitar Center would be $1000 * 15% = $150. The total cost when buying from Guitar Center would be $1000 - $150 discount + $100 shipping = $950. The discount when buying from Sweetwater would be $1000 * 10% = $100. The total cost when buying from Sweetwater would be $1000 - $100 discount + $0 shipping = $900. Thus, Silvia would save $950 - $900 = $50 when buying from Sweetwater. The answer is 50.
Question: Johns goes to the gym 3 times a week. He spends 1 hour each day lifting weight. Additionally, he also spends a third of his weightlifting time warming up and doing cardio each day. How many hours does he spend at the gym a week?
Answer: He spends 60 / 3 = 20 minutes warming up. So he spends 60 + 20 = 80 minutes at the gym per day. That means he spends 80 * 3 = 240 minutes at the gym. So he spends 240 / 60 = 4 hours at the gym a week. The answer is 4.
[Question]Mia is buying Christmas gifts for her family. She has spent $30 on each of her 3 siblings, and the rest of her spending was for her parents. If Mia spent a total of $150 on Christmas gifts and each of her parents received gifts of equal value, how much money, in dollars, did she spend on each parent’s gift?
[Answer]Mia spent a total of $30 per siblings * 3 siblings = $90 on her siblings. She therefore spent $150 total spending - $90 spending on her siblings = $60 on her parents. As each parent received an equal amount, each parent’s gift cost $60 total spending on parents / 2 = $30. The answer is 30.
Q: Maiya has two sisters. The first sister is twice as old as Maiya. The first sister is 1 year younger than Maiya. Their average age is 5. How old is Maiya?
A: Their total age is 15 because 3 x 5 = 15. 15 - X - 2X - (X - 1) is equivalent to 16 = 4X. Maiya is 4 years old because 16 / 4 = 4. The answer is 4.
Question: An elementary school teacher is making Halloween goodie bags for her class. She wants the bags to be personalized, so she surveys her students asking whether they'd like a vampire-themed bag or a pumpkin-themed bag. Of her 25 students, 11 indicate they want the vampire-themed bag and 14 indicate they want the pumpkin-themed bag. The store the teacher shops at sells packs of 5 of each theme at a price of $3 per package, as well as individual bags of each theme at a price of $1 each. What is the least amount of money the teacher can spend on the bags if she buys every student the theme they requested?
Answer: Because it is cheaper to buy the packs of 5, the teacher should satisfy the 11 students who want the vampire theme with 2 packs of 5 and 1 individual bag. This will cost the teacher 2 * 3 + 1 * 1 = $7. Similarly, the 14 students who want a pumpkin - themed bag can be satisfied by 2 packs of 5 and 4 individual bags at a cost of 2 * 3 + 4 * 1 = $10. Therefore, the teacher must spend 7 + 10 = $17. The answer is 17.
