question:Maria is a saleswoman at a flower shop. On the first day, she sold 30 tulips and 20 roses. The next day, she doubled the previous day's sales. On the third day, she sold only 10% of the tulips sold on the second day and 16 roses. The price of one tulip is 2 and one rose is 3. How much did Maria earn over these three days?
answer:On the first day, Maria sold 30 tulips * 2 = <<30*2=60>>60 worth of tulips. She also sold 20 roses * 3 = <<20*3=60>>60 worth of roses. So on the first day, Maria earned 60 + 60 = <<60+60=120>>120. On the second day, Maria doubled her sales from the first day, so she sold 30 tulips * 2 = 60 tulips. She also sold 20 roses * 2 = 40 roses. So on the second day, Maria earned 60 tulips * 2 = <<60*2=120>>120 worth of tulips. And she earned 40 roses * 3 = <<40*3=120>>120 worth of roses. So on the second day, Maria earned 120 + 120 = <<120+120=240>>240. On the third day, Maria sold only 10% of the tulips sold on the second day, which is 10/100 * 60 tulips = 6 tulips. She also sold 16 roses * 3 = <<16*3=48>>48 worth of roses. So on the third day, Maria earned 6 tulips * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 worth of tulips. And she earned 48 worth of roses. So on the third day, Maria earned 12 + 48 = <<12+48=60>>60. Therefore, over these three days, Maria earned 120 + 240 + 60 = <<120+240+60=420>>420 in total. 420 The answer is: 420
question:Emma bought 3 dozens of macarons in addition to her 10 pieces of macarons for a party. If 15 pieces of macarons are left over, how many pieces of macarons were eaten?
answer:One dozen is equal to 12, so 3 dozens is equal to 3 x 12 = 36 pieces of macarons. Emma bought 36 + 10 = 46 pieces of macarons in total. If there were 15 pieces left over, then 46 - 15 = 31 pieces of macarons were eaten. 31 The answer is: 31
question:Jean needs to buy 10 new pairs of pants. A store is running a sale for 20% off. If the pants normally retail for 45 each how much will she need to pay for all of them after paying a 10% tax?
answer:Jean needs to buy 10 pairs of pants at 45 each, so the total cost before any discounts or tax is 10 x 45 = 450. The store is running a sale for 20% off, so Jean will receive a discount of 20/100 x 450 = 90. After the discount, the total cost of the pants is 450 - 90 = 360. Jean will then need to pay a 10% tax on the total cost of the pants, which is 10/100 x 360 = 36. Therefore, Jean will need to pay a total of 360 + 36 = 396 for all 10 pairs of pants after the discount and tax. 396 The answer is: 396
question:The American swallow can lift into the air and carry a maximum of 5 pounds of weight, while the European swallow can lift and carry twice the weight as the American swallow. If there was a flock of 90 swallows, containing twice as many American as European swallows, what is the maximum combined weight the flock can carry?
answer:If the American swallow can carry a maximum of 5 pounds, then the European swallow can carry twice that amount, which is 5*2=10 pounds. If there are twice as many American swallows as European swallows in the flock, then there are 90/3 = 30 European swallows. The number of American swallows in the flock is twice that of European swallows, so there are 30*2 = 60 American swallows. The maximum weight the European swallows can carry is 30 swallows * 10 pounds/swallow = 300 pounds. The maximum weight the American swallows can carry is 60 swallows * 5 pounds/swallow = 300 pounds. Therefore, the maximum combined weight the flock can carry is 300 pounds + 300 pounds = 600 pounds. 600 The answer is: 600
