question:Joyce moved to the countryside because she needed more farmland to grow her vegetables. Her new property is 10 times larger than her previous property, but her new land has a 1-acre pond on it where she cannot grow vegetables. If her previous property was 2 acres, how many acres of land does she now own that are suitable for growing vegetables?
answer:If Joyce's previous property was 2 acres, and her new property is 10 times larger, then her new property is 2 * 10 = 20 acres. However, she has a 1-acre pond on her new property where she cannot grow vegetables, so she has 20 - 1 = 19 acres of land suitable for growing vegetables. Therefore, Joyce now owns 19 acres of land that are suitable for growing vegetables. 19 The answer is: 19
question:f there are initially 400 students at a party, consisting of poets, singers, and tree huggers, and the number of tree huggers is 120, with 50 more poets than tree huggers, how many singers are present at the party?
answer:If the number of tree huggers is 120, then the number of poets is 120 + 50 = 170. The total number of poets and tree huggers is 120 + 170 = 290. Therefore, the number of singers is 400 - 290 = 110. 110 The answer is: 110
question:The music festival of Bassompierre begins tonight with a concert by the string orchestra "PIANISSIMO". The ticket price for adults is 26; for children, the price is half. The show starts at 9 pm and goes very well. At about 11:00 pm, the concert organizer made his accounts. There were 183 adults and 28 children who attended the show. What was the total revenue of the concert?
answer:The ticket price for adults is 26, so the revenue from adults is 183 x 26 = 4758. The ticket price for children is half the price of adults, so the revenue from children is 28 x (26/2) = 364. Therefore, the total revenue of the concert is 4758 + 364 = 5122. 5122 The answer is: 5122
question:Tropical Storm Sally brings 3 days of rain to southern Texas. The first day it rained x inches. The second day it rained 5 times as much as the first day, and the third day it rained 6 inches less than the sum of the first two days. How much did it rain on the third day? If we know the answer to the above question is 18, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:The first day it rained x inches. The second day it rained 5 times as much as the first day, which means it rained 5x inches. The third day it rained 6 inches less than the sum of the first two days, which means it rained (x + 5x) - 6 = 6x - 6 inches. The total amount of rain over the three days is the sum of the rainfall on each day: x + 5x + 6x - 6. We are given that the amount of rain on the third day is 18 inches, so we can write: 6x - 6 = 18. Adding 6 to both sides, we get: 6x = 24. Dividing both sides by 6, we get: x = 4. The value of x is 4. 4 The answer is: 4
