John's new computer cost $1500. He needs to get a monitor and other peripherals that cost 1/5 that much. He also wants to upgrade the $300 video card in the base computer with one that costs twice as much. How much did he spend?

The peripherals cost 1500/5=$

<<1500/5=300>>300 The video card cost 300*2=$<<300*2=600>>600 So it cost 600-300=$<<600-300=300>>300 more That means the total cost was 1500+300+300=$<<1500+300+300=2100>>2100 #### 2100 It takes 1 hour for refrigerated dough to come to room temperature. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough and 2 hours to proof. The bread takes 30 minutes to bake and 15 minutes to cool. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am, what is the latest time the head baker can make it to the store to start working? It takes 1 hour to bring the dough to room temp and 2 hours to proof the dough so that's 1+2 = <<1+2=3>>3 hours It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough, 30 minutes to bake and another 15 minutes to cool for a total of 15+30+15 = <<15+30+15=60>>60 minutes There are 60 minutes in 1 hour so that takes him 60/60 = <<60/60=1>>1 hour In total it takes 3+1 = <<3+1=4>>4 hours from start to finish to make the bread If the bakery opens at 6:00 am and it takes 4 hours to prep then the latest the head baker can show up is 6-4 = <<6-4=2>>2:00 am #### 2 Mrs. Lacson harvested 80 sweet potatoes. She sold 20 of them to Mrs. Adams and 15 of them to Mr. Lenon. How many sweet potatoes are not yet sold? Mrs. Lacson sold a total of 20 + 15 = <<20+15=35>>35 sweet potatoes. Hence, there are still 80 - 35 = <<80-35=45>>45 sweet potatoes left unsold. #### 45 Joe likes to play video games and he normally spends $50 a month on video games. Joe also sells his games for $30 each once he is done playing them. If he starts with $240, how many months can he buy games at $50 and sell them at $30 before he is out of money? Joe can buy a game for $50 and sell it for $30, so he is losing $50 - $30 = $<<50-30=20>>20 each month when he buys and sells a game. Joe starts out with $240 and he buys a game and sells a game he loses $20 per month, so it will take $240/$20 = <<240/20=12>>12 months until he is out of money. #### 12 Gondor is a technician, he earns $10 from repairing a phone and $20 from repairing a laptop. If he was able to repair 3 phones last Monday, 5 phones last Tuesday, 2 laptops on Wednesday, and 4 laptops last Thursday, how much does he earn in total? Gondor was able to repair a total of 3+5= <<3+5=8>>8 phones from Monday to Tuesday. And the total amount he earned is $10x8= $<<10*8=80>>80. He was able to repair a total of 2+4= <<2+4=6>>6 laptops from Wednesday to Thursday. So, the total amount he earned is $20x6= $<<20*6=120>>120. Therefore, the total amount he earned is $120+$80= $<<120+80=200>>200. #### 200 Abie had 20 bags of chips. She gave 4 bags to her friend and bought another 6 bags of chips in the store. How many bags of chips does Abie have in the end? Abie had 20 - 4 = <<20-4=16>>16 bags of chips after giving 4 bags of chips to her friend. Abie has 16 + 6 = <<16+6=22>>22 bags of chips in the end. #### 22 Jenny decided to get a cat with her girlfriend. They agreed to split all the costs down the middle except for they would each buy their own toys for the cat. The adoption fee was $50, the vet visits cost $500 for the first year and the monthly cost of food was $25. She bought $200 in toys. How much did Jenny spend on the cat in the first year? The total cost for food was 25*12=$<<25*12=300>>300 So their shared expenses were 300+50+500=$<<300+50+500=850>>850 So Jenny spent 850/2=$<<850/2=425>>425 on shared expenses So the total cost she paid was 425+200=$<<425+200=625>>625 #### 625 Walter fell from the eighth platform of some scaffolding and fell past David after falling 4 meters. If he fell for an additional three more times that depth before hitting the ground, and the platforms are evenly spaced out in height, what platform was David on? Walter fell 4 meters and an additional three times that depth which is 3*4 = 12 meters He fell for a total of 4+12 = <<4+12=16>>16 meters The eighth platform is 16 meters high and the platforms are evenly spaced so each platform is 16/8 = <<16/8=2>>2 meters high David was located 4 meters below the 16 meter level which is 16-4 = <<16-4=12>>12 meters high Each platform is 2 meters high so 12 meters would mean the 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6th platform #### 6 40% of a farmer's cattle are males. The rest are females. If a female cow produces 2 gallons of milk a day, how much milk will the farmer get a day if he has 50 male cows? The farmer has 125 cows because 50 / .4 = <<50/.4=125>>125 The farmer has 75 female cows because 125 x .6 = <<125*.6=75>>75 The farmer will get 150 gallons of milk a day because 75 x 2 = <<75*2=150>>150 #### 150 Angela has half as many insects as Jacob does, and Jacob has 5 times as many insects as Dean. If Dean has 30 insects, how much does Angela have? Jacob has 5*30=<<5*30=150>>150 insects. So, Angela has 150/2=<<150/2=75>>75 insects. #### 75
