Question: A store owner buys clothes wholesale and adds 80% to the wholesale price to set the retail price. The retail price of a pair of pants is $36. What is the wholesale price?
Answer: Let X be the wholesale price. The retail price of a pair of pants is X + X * 80% = $36. Thus 1.8 * X = $36. Thus X = $36 / 1.8 = $20. The answer is 20.
[Question]Arven bought five puppies for a total cost of $800. Three puppies are on sale for $150 each. How much does each of those two other puppies cost if they cost the same?
[Answer]Three puppies on sale cost $150 x 3 = $450. The other two puppies cost $800 - $450 = $350. So, each of those two other puppies cost $350 / 2 = $175. The answer is 175.
Q: Andy is a lawyer who's working on two lawsuits. The first lawsuit has a 30% chance of paying out $5,000,000 upon a win and $0 if he loses it. The second lawsuit has a 50% chance of paying out $1,000,000 if Andy loses and a 50% chance of paying out $2,000,000 if he wins. Expressed as a percentage, how much more likely is it that Andy loses both lawsuits compared to winning both of them?
A: First find the probability that Andy will lose the first lawsuit: 100% - 30% = 70%. Then multiply that probability by the probability he loses the second lawsuit: 70% * 50% = 35%. Then multiply the probabilities of Andy winning each lawsuit to find the probability he wins them both: 30% * 50% = 15%. Then subtract the probability Andy wins both lawsuits from the probability he loses both lawsuits to find the difference: 35% - 15% = 20%. The answer is 20.
Question: In a graveyard, there are 20 skeletons. Half of these skeletons are adult women, and the remaining number are split evenly between adult men and children. If an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, and a male has 5 more than this, and a child has half as many as an adult woman, how many bones are in the graveyard?
Answer: We first need to figure out how many of each type of skeleton there are. Since half the 20 skeletons are adult women, that means there are 20 / 2 = 10 adult women's skeletons. The remaining half, 10, is split between adult men and children, meaning there are 10 / 2 = 5 of each. Since an adult woman has 20 bones in their body, this means that the 10 skeletons have 20 * 10 = 200 bones in total. Since an adult man has 5 more bones in their body than an adult woman, this means they have 20 + 5 = 25 bones in their body. There are 5 adult men, meaning there are 25 * 5 = 125 bones in the adult male skeletons in total. Since a child has half as many bones as the 20 in an adult woman, this means the children have 20 / 2 = 10 bones in their body. Since there are 5 children, this means there are 5 * 10 = 50 bones in the children's skeletons in total. Therefore, altogether there are 50 + 125 + 200 = 375 bones in total in the graveyard. The answer is 375.
[Question]There are 290 liters of oil in 24 cans. If 10 of the cans are holding 8 liters each, how much oil is each of the remaining cans holding?
[Answer]10 cans are holding 8 liters each for a total of 10 * 8 = 80 liters. There are 290 - 80 = 210 litres left. There are 24 - 10 = 14 cans left. Each of the remaining cans is holding 210 / 14 = 15 liters each. The answer is 15.
[Question]There were 28 students inside a bus before stopping at an intersection. After stopping at an intersection, there were 58 students on the bus. What's 40% of the number of students who entered the bus at the intermediate stop?

At the intermediate stop, 58 - 28 = 30 students entered the bus before it stopped at the intersection. 40% of the number of students who entered the bus at the intermediate stop is 40 / 100 * 30 = 12. The answer is 12.
