question:f a group of science students went on a field trip using 9 vans, with 8 people in each van, and 10 buses, with 27 people on each bus, what is the total number of people who went on the field trip?
answer:If there were 9 vans with 8 people in each van, then the total number of people in the vans is 9 * 8 = 72 people. If there were 10 buses with 27 people on each bus, then the total number of people on the buses is 10 * 27 = 270 people. Therefore, the total number of people who went on the field trip is 72 + 270 = 342 people. 342 The answer is: 342
question:Paul needed to buy some new clothes for work. He had a 10% off coupon that he could use on his entire purchase after any other discounts. Paul bought 4 dress shirts at 15.00 apiece, 2 pairs of pants that each cost 40.00. He found a suit for 150.00 and 2 sweaters for 30.00 each. When he got to the register, the clerk told him that the store was offering 20% off of everything in the store. After the discounts and the coupon, how much did Paul spend on his new clothes?
answer:The 4 dress shirts cost a total of 4 * 15.00 = 60.00 The 2 pairs of pants cost a total of 2 * 40.00 = 80.00 The 2 sweaters cost a total of 2 * 30.00 = 60.00 So far, the total cost of the clothes is 60.00 + 80.00 + 150.00 + 60.00 = 350.00 The store is offering 20% off, so the total discount is 20/100 * 350.00 = 70.00 After the discount, the total cost of the clothes is 350.00 - 70.00 = 280.00 Paul has a 10% off coupon, so the total discount is 10/100 * 280.00 = 28.00 After the coupon, Paul spent 280.00 - 28.00 = 252.00 on his new clothes. 252 The answer is: 252
question:Roberto recently received a 20% raise from his previous salary, which was already 40% higher than his starting salary. If Roberto's starting salary was x, what is his current salary? If we know the answer to the above question is 134400, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:We know that Roberto's starting salary was x. His previous salary, which was already 40% higher than his starting salary, is 1.4x. He recently received a 20% raise from his previous salary, which means his current salary is 1.2 times his previous salary. So his current salary is 1.2 * 1.4x = 1.68x. We are given that his current salary is 134400, so we can write: 1.68x = 134400. Dividing both sides by 1.68, we get: x = 80000. The value of x is 80000. 80000 The answer is: 80000
question:Coleen loved sprinkles. At the beginning of the day, she had twelve cans of sprinkles. After applying sprinkles to her hair, her clothing and her pets, she had x less than half as many cans of sprinkles as she started out with. 3 cans of sprinkles remained. What is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the number of cans of sprinkles that Coleen had left after applying them to her hair, clothing, and pets. We know that Coleen started with twelve cans of sprinkles. Let's find out how many cans of sprinkles she had left after applying them: Half as many cans of sprinkles as she started with: 12/2 = 6 cans Number of cans of sprinkles left after applying them: 6 - x Total number of cans of sprinkles left: 3 We can set up the equation as follows: Number of cans of sprinkles left after applying them = Total number of cans of sprinkles left 6 - x = 3 Let's solve for x: 6 - x = 3 To isolate x, we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation: 6 - x - 6 = 3 - 6 -x = -3 Finally, we multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to solve for x: x = 3 The value of x is 3. 3 The answer is: 3
