When the strawberries at Fruity Farm are ready for harvest, Miguel charges each interested picker $4 to access the strawberry fields. Once there, people pick as many strawberries as they wish, and then take them to Miguel for weighing and pricing. This year, the standard price of a pound of strawberries is $20.

Jenna runs a wholesale business. She pays $3 for each widget and resells it for $8. Every month she has to pay $10,000 in rent, 20% of her total profit in taxes, and $2,500 each to four workers. If Jenna sells 5000 widgets one month, how much is her total profit or loss? | First calculate how much Jenna spends on salaries: $2,500 * 4 = $10,000
Next find Jenna's total fixed costs by adding the cost of salaries and rent: $10,000 + $10,000 = $20,000
Next calculate how much profit Jenna makes on each widget by subtracting the cost from the sale price: $8 - $3 = $5

Susy goes to a large school with 800 students, while Sarah goes to a smaller school with only 300 students. At the start of the school year, Susy had 100 social media followers. She gained 40 new followers in the first week of the school year, half that in the second week, and half of that in the third week. Sarah only had 50 social media followers at the start of the year, but she gained 90 new followers the first week, a third of that in the second week, and a third of that in the third week. After three weeks, how many social media followers did the girl with the most total followers have? | After one week, Susy has 100+40 = 140 followers.
In the second week, Susy gains 40/2 = 20 new followers.
In the third week, Susy gains 20/2 = 10 new followers.
In total, Susy finishes the three weeks with 140+20+10 = 170 total followers.
After one week, Sarah has 50+90 = 140 followers.
After the second week, Sarah gains 90/3 = 30 followers.

So the total cost of tickets is 60+180=$240
They get a 240*.2=$48 discount
So the tickets cost 240-48=$192
So in total she paid 192+5=$197

Erica is getting dessert at a pie buffet where all the pies are the same size. She takes 1/5 of an apple pie and 3/4 of a cherry pie. What fraction of a whole pie did Erica take, expressed as a percentage? | First, find a common denominator for the fractions by multiplying 5 and 4: 5 * 4 = 20.
Then convert 1/5 to twentieths by multiplying the top and bottom by 4: 1/5 * 4/4 = 4/20.
Then convert 3/4 to twentieths by multiplying the top and bottom by 5: 3/4 * 5/5 = 15/20
Now that the two fractions have the same denominator, you can add them: 4/20 + 15/20 = 19/20.
Now divide 19 by 20 and multiply the answer by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage: 19/20 * 100 = %95.

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 = $15 profit for selling it 30% above the cost.
So, the book was sold for $50 + $15 = $65.
During a sale, the book’s selling price decreased by $65 x 10/100 = $6.50.
So, the book was sold for $65 - $6.50 = $58.50.
There was $58.50 - $50 = $8.50 profit after the discount.
Therefore, the percent profit is $8.50/$50 x 100% = 17%.

Every day in a week, Siena bookmarks 30 website pages from the research she does on her browser. If Siena has 400 bookmarked pages on her bookmarks library now, how many pages will she have in her bookmarks library at the end of March? | Since Siena bookmarks 30 website pages from the research she does on her browser every day, at the end of March, with 31 days, she would have bookmarked 30*31 = 930 pages.
If Siena already has 400 bookmarked pages in her bookmarks library now, she will have 930+400 = 1330 pages in her bookmarks library at the end of March.

The 6th graders planted 30 fewer than thrice the number of trees planted by the 5th graders. How many trees did they plant altogether? | The 5th graders planted 30 x 2 = 60 trees.
Thrice the number of trees planted by the 5th graders is 60 x 3 = 180.
So, the 6th graders planted 180 - 30 = 150 trees.
Therefore, they planted a total of 30 + 60 + 150 = 240 trees.

Nancy wants to figure out if she can afford to apply to the University of Michigan. The tuition costs $22,000 per semester. Her parents can pay half the cost, and each semester Nancy can get a scholarship for $3,000 and a student loan for twice her scholarship amount. If Nancy can work a total of 200 hours during the semester, how many dollars does she have to make per hour to pay the rest of the tuition? | First figure out how much Nancy has to pay after her parents pay their half by dividing the tuition by 2: $22,000 / 2 = $11,000.
Then figure out how much Nancy's student loan is by multiplying her scholarship amount by 2: $3,000 * 2 = $6,000.
Now subtract the amounts of Nancy's scholarship and loan to find out how much tuition she has to pay by working: $11,000 - $3,000 - $6,000 = $2,000.
Now divide the remaining unpaid tuition by the number of hours Nancy works to find out how much she needs to make per hour: $2,000 / 200 hours = $10/hour.

Mrs. Snyder used to spend 40% of her monthly income on rent and utilities. Her salary was recently increased by $600 so now her rent and utilities only amount to 25% of her monthly income. How much was her previous monthly income? | Let her previous monthly income be p
The cost of her rent and utilities was 40% of p which is (40/100)*p = 2p/5
Her income was increased by $600 so it is now p+$600
The cost of her rent and utilities now amount to 25% of (p+$600) which is (25/100)*(p+$600) = (p+$600)/4
Equating both expressions for cost of rent and utilities: 2p/5 = (p+$600)/4
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 20 gives 8p = 5p+$3000
Subtracting 5p from both sides gives: 3p = $3000
Dividing both sides by 3 gives p = $1000
The answer is: 1000 |
Jenny signs up for dinner theater with 5 of her friends. Each person pays $50 for the ticket and $10 for their entrée, and half the people also buy unlimited drink tickets for $30/person. Then the dinner theater is canceled due to COVID, and each person gets a 90% refund. How much money did the group of six friends lose? | First find the cost of the ticket and the entrée for each person: $50/person + $10/person = $60/person
Then multiply that cost by the number of people to find the total cost of entrees and tickets: $60/person * 6 people = $360
Now find how many people ordered drink tickets: 6 people / 2 = 3 people
Now find the total cost of the drink tickets: 3 people * $30/person = $90
Now find the total cost of the evening: $90 + $360 = $450
Now multiply this quantity by 90% to find the amount of the refund: $450 * .9 = $405
Now subtract the refund amount from the total cost to find how much money the friends lost: $450 - $405 = $45
The answer is: 45 |
