[Question]To celebrate a recent promotion, Arthur decided to treat himself to dinner at a nice restaurant. He ordered a nice appetizer for $8, a delicious ribeye steak for his entrée at $20, had two glasses of nice red wine with dinner for $3 each, and a slice of caramel cheesecake for dessert for $6. He used a voucher for half off the price of his entrée, but he very thoughtfully tipped his waitress a full 20% of what the full cost of his meal would have been without the discount. How much, including the tip, did Arthur spend on dinner?
[Answer]The cost of his food, before the voucher, was $8 + $20 + $3 + $3 + $6 = $40. The tip was $40 * .20 = $8. The voucher saved him $20 / 2 = $10. So the full price of Arthur's meal, with tip, was $40 - $10 + 8 = $38. The answer is 38.
Q: Biff is getting ready for a long bus trip. He spends $11 on the ticket, $3 on drinks and snacks, and $16 on a new pair of headphones to listen to music. Biff plans to do online tasks using the bus's WiFi during his trip. If Biff makes $12/hour working online and has to pay $2/hour to access the bus's WiFi, how many hours long will the bus ride need to be for him to break even?
A: First calculate how much money Biff spent getting ready for the trip: $11 + $3 + $16 = $30. Now calculate Bill's net income per hour after he pays for WiFi by subtracting the WiFi cost from his gross hourly rate: $12 / hr - $2 / hr = $10 / hr. Finally, divide the money Bill spent by his net hourly rate to find out how many hours he has to work to break even: $30 / $10 / hr = 3 hours. The answer is 3.
