Last year Jessica paid $1000 for rent, $200 for food, and $100 for car insurance each month. This year her rent goes up by 30%, food costs increase by 50%, and the cost of her car insurance triples because she was at fault in an accident. How much more does Jessica pay for her expenses over the whole year compared to last year? | First find the increase in rent by multiplying last year's rent by 30%: $1000 * .3 = $300
Then find the food cost increase by multiplying last year's costs by 50%: $200 * .5 = $100
Then find the new car insurance price by multiplying last year's price by 3: $100 * 3 = $300
Then subtract the cost of car insurance last year from this year's price to find the increase: $300 - $100 = $200
Now find how much Jessica's monthly expenses increased by adding the increases in each of the three costs: $300 + $100 + $200 = $600
Now multiply the increase per month by the number of months in a year to find the annual increase: $600/month * 12 months/year = $7200/year

Ron ate pizza with his friends the other day. If they ordered a 12-slice pizza and each of them ate 4 slices, how many friends were there with Ron? | Let the number of friends that ate with Ron be represented by F. That means the total amount of people that ate that day were 1 + F
If each of them ate 4 slices, and the pizza only has 12 slices, that means there could only have been 12/4 = 3 people eating
If the total number of people eating was 3, and if was also represented by 1+F then we have 3 = 1+ F
Solving for F we have 3-1 = F
F = 2 friends ate with Ron

Elliott drew a right-angle triangle on his book. It had a base of 4 inches, a height of 3 inches and a certain length of the hypotenuse. What was the length of the perimeter of the triangle that he drew? | Since the hypotenuse of a triangle is found by the square root of the base squared plus the height squared.
The square of the base of the first triangle is 4*4=16 square inches
The square of the height of the first triangle is 3*3=9 square inches.
The sum of the squares of the base and the height of the first triangle is 16+9=25
The square root of the sum of the base and the height of the first triangle, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle, is √25=5 inches.
Since the perimeter of a triangle is found by adding the sides of the triangle, the base and height of the triangle sum up to 3+4=7 inches
If you add the hypotenuse of the triangle the perimeter of the triangle becomes 7+5=12 inches.

The rim of a standard basketball hoop is 10 feet above the ground. Additionally, most experts will say that a player must be able to reach at least 6 inches above the rim to dunk a basketball. Suppose a basketball player is 6 feet tall and can reach 22 inches above their head using the wingspan of their arms. How high must this player be able to jump to reach 6 inches above the rim to dunk a basketball? | In inches, the height of the rim is 10*12 = 120 inches.
Thus, the height that the player needs to be able to reach is 120 + 6 = 126 inches.
Without jumping, the player can reach their height plus an additional 22 inches, or a total of 6*12 + 22 = 94 inches.
Therefore, the player needs to jump 126 - 94 = 32 inches to reach the height required to dunk a basketball.

After that, it needs to eat 4 ounces per day of the special food until it is old enough to eat regular dog food. If the special dog food is only sold in 5-pound bags, and there are 16 ounces in a pound, how many bags will the family need to buy to feed the puppy until it is old enough to eat regular dog food? | The puppy will consume 60*2 = 120 ounces of the special dog food in the first 60 days.
This leaves 365 - 60 = 305 days where the puppy will consume 4 ounces of food per day, or 305*4 = 1220 ounces of the special food.
Thus, the puppy requires a total of 120 + 1220 = 1340 ounces of food before it is 1 year old.
Each 5-pound bag contains 5*16 = 80 ounces of special dog food.
Therefore, the puppy will need to eat 1340/80 = 16.75 bags of the special dog food, meaning the family will need to buy 17 bags.

Bob is building a garden on his land, and he wants it to be fenced in to keep out varmints. The garden is a rectangular plot 225 feet long by 125 feet wide. He also wants to have a small 3-foot wide gate to walk through and a larger 10-foot wide gate to move his gardening equipment through. How much fencing is Bob going to need to fence in his garden, taking into account the two gates? | The perimeter of the garden is 2 * 225 + 2 * 125 = 450 + 250 = 700 feet.
Minus the two gates, he will need at least 700 - 3 - 10 = 687 feet of fencing.
The answer is: 687 |
