[Question]On March 1st the sun sets at 6 PM. Every day after the sun sets 1.2 minutes later. It is 6:10 PM and 40 days after March 1st. How many minutes until the sun sets?
[Answer]The sun will set 40 * 1.2 = 48 minutes later than it does on March 1st. That means the sun will set at 6:00 + 48 = 6:48 PM. So that means the time until sunset is 6:48 - 6:10 = 38 minutes. The answer is 38.
Q: On Tuesday last week, Leo dropped off 10 pairs of trousers and some shirts at Sudsy Laundry. He was given a bill of $140, charged at $5 per shirt and $9 for each pair of trousers. When he went to pick up his clothes yesterday, the attendant insisted that he had only dropped off 2 shirts. Leo reported the matter to the manager, who ordered the attendant to search for the rest of Leo’s shirts. How many shirts were missing?
A: The cost of laundering all of Leo’s trousers is 10 * 9 = 90 dollars. Since the total bill was 140 dollars, this means that all the shirts were cleaned for 140 - 90 = 50 dollars. As each shirt is cleaned at 5 dollars, Sudsy Laundry therefore laundered a total of 50 / 5 = 10 shirts. The missing shirts are therefore 10 - 2 = 8 shirts. The answer is 8.
Question: A boy has 12 oranges. He gives one-third of this number to his brother, one-fourth of the remainder to his friend and keeps the rest for himself. How many does his friend get?
Answer: He gives a third of 12 oranges to his brother which is 12 * (1 / 3) = 4 oranges. He has 12 - 4 = 8 oranges left. He gives a fourth of 8 oranges to his friend which is 8 * (1 / 4) = 2 oranges. The answer is 2.
Q: Bertha plays tennis. Every ten games, one of her tennis balls wears out. Every five games, she loses a ball. Every four games, she buys a canister of three balls. She started with two balls and gave one to her partner. After twenty games, how many tennis balls does she have?
A:
Bertha wears out 20 / 10 = 2 tennis balls in 20 games. She loses 20 / 5 = 4 tennis balls in 20 games. She buys canisters of 3 * 20 / 4 = 15 tennis balls in 20 games. Bertha started with 2 balls and gave 1 away, so she has 2 + 15 - 2 - 4 - 1 = 10 tennis balls after twenty games. The answer is 10.
