question:A porcelain vase was originally priced at 200 but went on sale for 25% off. If Donna bought the porcelain vase and paid 10% sales tax, how much did she pay in total?
answer:The porcelain vase was originally priced at 200. It went on sale for 25% off, so the discount is 25% of 200, which is 200 * 0.25 = 50. The sale price of the porcelain vase is 200 - 50 = 150. Donna paid 10% sales tax on the sale price, which is 10% of 150, or 150 * 0.10 = 15. Therefore, Donna paid a total of 150 + 15 = 165. 165 The answer is: 165
question:Joanna has 8. Compared to her money, her brother has thrice as much while her sister has only x% as much. How much money do the three of them have altogether? If we know the answer to the above question is 36, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Joanna has 8. Her brother has thrice as much money as Joanna, which means he has 3 * 8 = 24. Her sister has x% as much money as Joanna, which means she has (x/100) * 8 = (8x/100) = 0.08x. The total amount of money they have altogether is the sum of Joanna's, her brother's, and her sister's money: 8 + 24 + 0.08x. We are given that the total amount of money is 36, so we can write: 8 + 24 + 0.08x = 36. Simplifying the left side, we get: 32 + 0.08x = 36. Subtracting 32 from both sides, we get: 0.08x = 4. Dividing both sides by 0.08, we get: x = 50. The value of x is 50. 50 The answer is: 50
question:A carton of ice cream contains 10 scoops each. Mary has 3 cartons of ice cream, one chocolate, one strawberry and one vanilla. Ethan wants one scoop of vanilla and x of chocolate. Lucas, Danny and Connor all want 2 scoops of chocolate. Olivia would like a scoop of vanilla and one of strawberry. Shannon wants twice as much as Olivia. How many scoops of ice cream will be left? If we know the answer to the above question is 16, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Each carton of ice cream contains 10 scoops, so 3 cartons of ice cream contain a total of 3 * 10 = 30 scoops of ice cream. Ethan wants 1 scoop of vanilla and x scoops of chocolate. Lucas, Danny, and Connor each want 2 scoops of chocolate, so they want a total of 3 * 2 = 6 scoops of chocolate. Olivia wants 1 scoop of vanilla and 1 scoop of strawberry, so she wants a total of 1 + 1 = 2 scoops of ice cream. Shannon wants twice as much as Olivia, so she wants 2 * 2 = 4 scoops of ice cream. The total number of scoops of ice cream wanted by everyone is 1 + x + 6 + 2 + 4 = x + 13. The number of scoops of ice cream left is the total number of scoops of ice cream minus the total number of scoops of ice cream wanted by everyone: 30 - (x + 13). We are given that the number of scoops of ice cream left is 16, so we can write: 30 - (x + 13) = 16. Simplifying the left side, we get: 30 - x - 13 = 16. Combining like terms, we get: 17 - x = 16. Solving for x, we get: x = 1. The value of x is 1. 1 The answer is: 1
question:Clinton buys a burger meal for lunch for x and up sizes his fries and drinks for 1.00 more. If Clinton buys this same meal every day for 5 days, how much does he spend on lunch? If we know the answer to the above question is 35, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:Clinton buys a burger meal for lunch for x. He also upsizes his fries and drinks for 1.00 more, so the total cost of the meal is x + 1.00. If he buys this same meal every day for 5 days, the total amount he spends on lunch is 5 * (x + 1.00). We are given that the total amount he spends is 35, so we can write: 5 * (x + 1.00) = 35. Dividing both sides by 5, we get: x + 1.00 = 7.00. Subtracting 1.00 from both sides, we get: x = 6.00. The value of x is 6.00. 6 The answer is: 6
