So those snakes sell for 5*$250=$<<5*250=1250>>1250
The other snake sells for $250*4=$<<250*4=1000>>1000
So in total, the snakes sold for $1250+$1000=$<<1250+1000=2250>>2250

A store marks a book 30% above the cost. But during a sale, a 10% discount was given. If the book costs $50, what is the percent profit? | The store made a $50 x 30/100 = $<<50*30/100=15>>15 profit for selling it 30% above the cost.
So, the book was sold for $50 + $15 = $<<50+15=65>>65.
During a sale, the book’s selling price decreased by $65 x 10/100 = $<<65*10/100=6.50>>6.50.

Chris’s internet bill is $45 per month for 100 GB and $0.25 for every 1 GB over. His bill for this month is $65. How many GB over was Chris charged for on this bill? | Let G stand for the number of GB billed, so the total bill is $0.25G + $45 flat rate charge = $65 total bill.

Kohen has a business selling apples. Once a week, he orders 10 boxes of apples to add to his stock. If each box has 300 apples and he sells 3/4 of his stock in a certain week, what total number of apples is not sold? | In a week, he orders 10 * 300 = <<10*300=3000>>3000 apples.
When 3/4 of the stock is sold, the total amount of apples sold becomes 3/4 * 3000 = <<3/4*3000=2250>>2250 apples.

Jennifer is building tanks to hold her goldfish. She built 3 tanks that will hold 15 fish each, heated, and filled them. She plans to build the rest of the tanks equipped with heaters, and they will hold 10 fish each. If she needs to build enough tanks to house a total of 75 fish, how many more will she need to build? | With the tanks already built it has room for 3 tanks * 15 fish/tank = <<3*15=45>>45 fish.
The total of fish that still lack space is 75 fish - 45 fish = <<75-45=30>>30 fish.

If the bolt of fabric is 16 feet by 12 feet, how much fabric is left in square feet? | First figure out how many square feet the original bolt of fabric was: 16 feet * 12 feet = <<16*12=192>>192 square feet
Then figure out how much fabric Ann took for the living room curtains: 4 feet * 6 feet = <<4*6=24>>24 square feet
Then figure out how much fabric Ann took for the bathroom curtains: 2 feet * 4 feet = ... |
Mary had 6 lambs and 2 of the lambs had 2 babies each. She traded 3 lambs for one goat. One morning, she woke up and found an extra 7 lambs in the field. How many lambs does Mary have? | 2 of her lambs had 2 babies each so that adds 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 lambs
She starts with 6 and adds 4 baby lambs so she had 6+4 = <<6+4=10>>10 lambs
She traded 3 of those lambs for a goat so she has 10-3 =<<10-3=7>>7 lambs
She has 7 and woke up to find 7 more lambs in the field so she has a total of 7+7 = <<7+7=14>>14 lamb... |
Jenny is trying to convince her cat to walk on a leash. The cat spends twenty minutes resisting. Then Jenny coaxes the cat to walk 64 feet at a rate of 8 feet/minute. How many minutes does this whole process take? | First find how many minutes the cat spends walking: 64 feet / 8 feet/minute = <<64/8=8>>8 minutes
