question:James decides to replace his car. He sold his 20,000 car for 80% of its value and then was able to haggle to buy a 30,000 sticker price car for 90% of its value. How much was he out of pocket?
answer:James sold his car for 80% of its value, which is 0.8 * 20,000 = 16,000. He was able to buy a car for 90% of its value, which is 0.9 * 30,000 = 27,000. Therefore, James was out of pocket 27,000 - 16,000 = 11,000. 11000 The answer is: 11000
question:f Amy wins 3/8 of the time and Lily wins 3/10 of the time while playing tic-tac-toe, what fraction of the time do they tie?
answer:If Amy wins 3/8 of the time and Lily wins 3/10 of the time, then the remaining fraction of the time must be the fraction of ties. The total fraction of the time is 1, so we have 1 - (3/8) - (3/10) = 1 - 15/40 - 12/40 = 1 - 27/40 = 13/40. Therefore, the fraction of the time that they tie is boxed{frac{13}{40}}.The answer is: frac{13}{40}
question:Martine has 6 more than twice as many peaches as Benjy. Benjy has one-third as many peaches as Gabrielle. If Martine has x peaches, Gabrielle has 15. What is the value of unknown variable x? What is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the number of peaches Martine has. Let's break down the information given: Number of peaches Gabrielle has: 15 Number of peaches Benjy has: 1/3 * 15 = 5 Number of peaches Martine has: 6 more than twice the number of peaches Benjy has We can set up the equation as follows: Number of peaches Martine has = 2 * Number of peaches Benjy has + 6 x = 2 * 5 + 6 Let's simplify and solve for x: x = 10 + 6 x = 16 The value of x is 16. 16 The answer is: 16
question:f Mark has a total of 12 candy bars, including 3 Snickers and 2 Mars bars, how many Butterfingers does he have?
answer:Mark has a total of 12 candy bars. Out of these, he has 3 Snickers and 2 Mars bars. To find out how many Butterfingers he has, we need to subtract the number of Snickers and Mars bars from the total. So, Mark has 12 - 3 - 2 = 7 Butterfingers. 7 The answer is: 7
