Ursula went to the store and bought butter, bread, a package of cheese, and tea. The bread was 2 times cheaper than the butter, while the price of the butter was 80% of the price of cheese. Tea was the most expensive and cost twice the price of a package of cheese. If the tea cost $10, how much did Ursula pay for her purchases?
The price of the tea was twice the price of the cheese, so the cheese cost was 10 / 2 = $
<<10/2=5>>5. The price of the butter was 80/100 * 5 = $<<80/100*5=4>>4. If the bread was 2 times cheaper than butter, that means it cost 4 / 2 = $<<4/2=2>>2. That means Ursula paid for all her shopping 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = $<<2+4+5+10=21>>21. #### 21 The tripodasaurus has three legs. In a flock of tripodasauruses, there is a total of 20 heads and legs. How many tripodasauruses are in the flock? Each animal has 1+3=<<1+3=4>>4 total heads and legs. Then there are 20/4=<<20/4=5>>5 in the flock. #### 5 Phillip is taking a math test and an English test on Monday. The math test has 40 questions and he gets 75% of them right. The English test has 50 questions and he gets 98% of them right. How many total questions does he get right? On the math test he gets 30 questions correct because 40 x .75 = <<40*.75=30>>30 On the English test he gets 49 questions right because 50 x .98 = <<50*.98=49>>49 He gets 79 questions right in total. #### 79 Fabian is shopping at a nearby supermarket. He wants to buy 5 kilograms of apples, 3 packs of sugar, and 500 grams of walnuts. One kilogram of apples costs $2, and one kilogram of walnuts costs $6. One pack of sugar is $1 cheaper than one kilogram of apples. How much Fabian needs to pay for the items he wants to buy? The apples cost Fabian 5 kg * $2/kg = $<<5*2=10>>10. For the walnuts Fabian needs to pay 0.5 kg * $6 = $<<0.5*6=3>>3. One pack of sugar costs $2 - $1 = $<<2-1=1>>1. So Fabian will pay $1/pack * 3 = $<<1*3=3>>3 for sugar. In total, Fabian needs to pay $10 + $3 + $3 = $<<10+3+3=16>>16. #### 16 Jackson wants to improve his endurance running. His goal is to start by running 3 miles a day the first week, then spend the next four weeks running one additional mile/day each week. How many miles is Jackson running each day at the end of this exercise program? First, figure out how many additional miles Jackson is running after four weeks: 4 weeks * 1 extra mile/week = <<4*1=4>>4 extra miles Then add the 4 extra miles to the 3 miles he initially ran: 4 miles + 3 miles = <<4+3=7>>7 miles #### 7 There are three times as many misses as hits in an MLB game. If the number of misses is 50, how many hits and misses are made in the game? Three times as many misses as hits is 3*50 = 150 The total number of hits and misses in the game is 150+50 = <<150+50=200>>200 #### 200 Seal releases 3 songs every month. He gets $2000 per song. How much money does he get in his first 3 years? He produces music for 3*12=<<3*12=36>>36 months That means he comes out with 36*3=<<36*3=108>>108 songs in that time That means he made 108*2000=$<<108*2000=216000>>216,000 #### 216000 Susan is playing a board game with 48 spaces from the starting space to the winning end space of the game. On the first turn, she moves forward eight spaces. On the second turn, she moves two spaces, but lands on a space that sends her back five spaces. On the third turn, she moves forward six more spaces. How many spaces does she have to move to reach the ending space and win the game? In the first three turns, Susan has moved 8 + 2 - 5 + 6 = <<8+2-5+6=11>>11 spaces. Susan has 48 - 11 = <<48-11=37>>37 spaces to move to win the game. #### 37 Joy has 250 feet of tape. She wants to wrap the tape around a field that is 20 feet wide and 60 feet long. How much tape will Joy have left over after wrapping tape around the field once? The perimeter of the field is 20+20+60+60=<<20+20+60+60=160>>160 feet. Joy will have 250-160=<<250-160=90>>90 feet of tape left over. #### 90 Rose bought a plant with a 10% discount. If the price is $10, how much did Rose pay after the discount? The plant has $10 x 10/100 = $1 discount. So, Rose paid $10 - $1 = $<<10-1=9>>9 for the plant. #### 9
