A store received 20 pallets of paper products to stock. Half the pallets were paper towels, a quarter were tissues, and a fifth were paper plates. The rest were paper cups. How many pallets of paper cups did the store receive?

How many pallets of paper towels did the store receive? ** The store received 20 / 2 =

<<20/2=10>>10 pallets of paper towels. How many pallets of tissues did the store receive? ** They received 20 / 4 = <<20/4=5>>5 pallets of tissues. How many pallets of paper plates did the store receive? ** They received 20 / 5 = <<20/5=4>>4 pallets of paper plates. How many pallets of paper cups did the store receive? ** Thus, the store received 20 - 10 - 5 - 4 = <<20-10-5-4=1>>1 pallet of paper cups. #### 1 John runs a telethon to raise money. For the first 12 hours, he generates $5000 per hour. The remaining 14 hours, he generates 20% more per hour. How much total money does he make? How much money does John make in the first 12 hours? ** He gets 12*5000=$<<12*5000=60000>>60000 for the first 12 hours How much money does John make in the remaining 14 hours? ** For the next 14 hours, he gets 5000*.2=$<<5000*.2=1000>>1000 more per hour How much money does John make in the remaining 14 hours? ** So he gets 5000+1000=$<<5000+1000=6000>>6000 per hour How much money does John make in the remaining 14 hours? ** So he gets 6000*14=$<<6000*14=84000>>84000 How much money does John make in total? ** So in total, he makes 84000+60000=$<<84000+60000=144000>>144,000 #### 144000 In a compound, the number of cats is 20% less than the number of dogs. There are also twice as many frogs as the number of dogs in the compound. Calculate the total number of animals present in the compound if there are 160 frogs. How many dogs are there? ** There are twice as many frogs as dogs in the compound, meaning there are 160/2 = <<160/2=80>>80 dogs. How many animals are there? ** The total number of frogs and dogs in the compound is 80+160 = <<80+160=240>>240 How many dogs are there? ** The number of cats is less than 20% of the number of dogs, which means there are 20/100*80 = <<20/100*80=16>>16 dogs more than the number of cats. How many cats are there? ** Therefore, the number of cats is 80-16 = <<80-16=64>>64 cats How many animals are there? ** The total number of animals in the compound is 64 cats +240 dogs and frogs = <<64+240=304>>304 animals. #### 304 John buys 1/2 gallon jugs of cold brew coffee every 4 days. How many cups of coffee does he drink a day? How many ounces of coffee does John drink every 4 days? ** He drinks 128/2 = <<128/2=64>>64 ounces of coffee every 4 days How many ounces of coffee does John drink a day? ** That means he drinks 64/4 = <<64/4=16>>16 ounces of coffee a day How many cups of coffee does John drink a day? ** So he drinks 16/8 = <<16/8=2>>2 cups a day #### 2 It took an alligator named Paul 4 hours to walk from his home at the River Nile to the Nile Delta. On the return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, the journey taking 2 more hours than Paul took to walk to the Nile Delta, to reach their home at the River Nile. What's the combined time the alligators walked? How many hours did Paul take to travel back to its home? ** If on the return journey to its home, the alligator took 2 more hours than it took to travel to the Nile Delta, Paul took 4+2=<<4+2=6>>6 hours to travel back to its home. How many hours did Paul take to travel from its home to the Nile Delta and back? ** The total time Paul took to travel from its home to the Nile Delta and back is 6+4=<<6+4=10>>10 How many hours did the alligators take to travel up the Nile? ** On his return journey, Paul traveled with six other alligators, and since each alligator traveled for six hours up the Nile to their home, they took a total of 6*6=<<6*6=36>>36 hours to do so. How many hours did the alligators take to travel between Nile Delta and up the Nile? ** Together with Paul, all the alligators took 10+36=<<10+36=46>>46 hours traveling between Nile Delta and up the Nile. #### 46 Betty picked 16 strawberries. Matthew picked 20 more strawberries than Betty and twice as many as Natalie. They used their strawberries to make jam. One jar of jam used 7 strawberries and they sold each jar at $4. How much money were they able to make from the strawberries they picked? How many strawberries did Matthew pick? ** Matthew picked 16 + 20 = <<16+20=36>>36 strawberries. How many strawberries did Natalie pick? ** Natalie picked 36/2 = <<36/2=18>>18 strawberries. How many strawberries did Betty, Matthew and Natalie pick? ** All together, they have 16 + 36 + 18 = <<16+36+18=70>>70 strawberries. How many jars of jam can they make? ** They can make 70/7 = <<70/7=10>>10 jars of strawberries. How much money are they able|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|endoftext|>|end ** They earn 10 x $4 = $<<10*4=40>>40 from the strawberries they picked. #### 40 A trader made a profit of $960 after a week of sales. To raise $610 to pay for her next shipment of wares, she splits the profit in half and solicits donations from her family and friends. If she received a total donation of $310 and adds it to one-half of her profit, how much money did she make above her goal? How much money did the trader make? ** She splits her $960 profit in half to get $960 / 2 = $<<960/2=480>>480. How much money did the trader receive? ** She receives a total donation of $310, so she now has $310 + $480 = $<<310+480=790>>790. How much money did the trader make above her goal? ** She needed only $610 so she has $790 - $610 = $180 more than she needs. #### 180 There are six more white birds next to a cage than grey birds in the cage. If the number of grey birds in the cage is 40, and after ten minutes, half of the birds in the cage are freed and fly away, calculate the total number of birds remaining. How many white birds are there? ** If the number of grey birds is 40, there are 40+6 = <<40+6=46>>46 white birds near the cage. How many grey birds remain? ** When half of the grey birds fly away, the number that remains is 1/2*40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 How many birds are there? ** The total number of birds is 20+46 = <<20+46=66>>66 in and next to the cage. #### 66 A sixty bulb watt uses 60 watts of power each day. If Allyn has 40 such bulbs in his house and pays an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, calculate Allyn's total monthly expenses on electricity in June. How many watts of power do Allyn's 40 bulbs use each day? ** If each bulb uses 60 watts each day, the 40 bulbs that Allyn has uses 60*40 = <<60*40=2400>>2400 watts of power each day. How many watts of power do Allyn's 40 bulbs use in June? ** In June, with 30 days, the bulbs will use 30*2400 = <<30*2400=72000>>72000 watts of power. How much will Allyn pay in June? ** If Allyn is charged an electricity bill of twenty cents per power watt used, in June she will pay 72000*$0.20 = $<<72000*0.20=14400>>14400 #### 14400 The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has. The sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old. If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, calculate the total number of pencils they have together. How old is Alexander? ** If the sum of their ages is 140, and Asaf is 50 years old, Alexander is 140-50 = <<140-50=90>>90 years old. How old is the age difference between Asaf and Alexander? ** The age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is 90-50 = <<90-50=40>>40 How many pencils does Asaf have? ** Since the age difference between Asaf and Alexander's age is half the total number of pencils Asaf has, Asaf has 2*40 = <<2*40=80>>80 pencils. How many pencils does Alexander have? ** If Alexander has 60 more pencils than Asaf, Alexander has 80+60= <<60+80=140>>140 pencils. How many pencils do Asaf and Alexander have together? ** Together, they have 140 + 80 = <<140+80=220>>220 pencils #### 220
