question:2 years, Maxwell will be twice his sister's age. If his sister is now 2, how old is Maxwell now?
answer:If Maxwell's sister is now 2, then in 2 years she will be 2 + 2 = 4 years old. According to the given information, in 2 years Maxwell will be twice his sister's age, so in 2 years, Maxwell will be 4 * 2 = 8 years old. Since we are asked for Maxwell's current age, we subtract 2 years from his age in 2 years, meaning Maxwell is currently 8 - 2 = 6 years old. 6 The answer is: 6
question:Teresa orders 2 fancy ham and cheese sandwiches for 7.75 each at a local shop. While there, she decides to pick up some salami for 4.00, more brie which is three times the price of the salami, a 1/4 pound of olives that are 10.00 per pound, 1/2 pound of feta cheese that’s 8.00 a pound and another loaf of french bread that is 2.00. How much does she spend at the local shop?
answer:Teresa orders 2 fancy ham and cheese sandwiches for 7.75 each, so 2 * 7.75 = 15.50 for the sandwiches. She buys salami for 4.00. She buys brie, which is three times the price of the salami, so 3 * 4.00 = 12.00 for the brie. She buys 1/4 pound of olives that are 10.00 per pound, so 1/4 * 10.00 = 2.50 for the olives. She buys 1/2 pound of feta cheese that's 8.00 a pound, so 1/2 * 8.00 = 4.00 for the feta cheese. She buys another loaf of french bread for 2.00. The total amount she spends at the local shop is 15.50 + 4.00 + 12.00 + 2.50 + 4.00 + 2.00 = 40.00. 40 The answer is: 40
question:f x - y = 6 and x + y = X, what is the value of y? If we know the answer to the above question is 3, what is the value of unknown variable X?
answer:: x - y = 6 x + y = X To find the value of y, we can solve these equations simultaneously. We can add the two equations together to eliminate x: (x - y) + (x + y) = 6 + X 2x = 6 + X Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2: x = frac{6 + X}{2} Substituting this value of x into the second equation, we have: frac{6 + X}{2} + y = X Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction, we get: 6 + X + 2y = 2X Simplifying, we have: 2y = 2X - 6 - X 2y = X - 6 Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find: y = frac{X - 6}{2} Given that the value of y is 3, we can substitute it into the equation: 3 = frac{X - 6}{2} Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction, we get: 6 = X - 6 Adding 6 to both sides of the equation, we find: 12 = X The value of X is 12. The answer is: 12
question:Samanta is planning a party for her friend Marta. She decided to raise some money among the guests she invited, to buy Marta a gift. Every participant gave Samanta 5 for this purpose and she herself put in 10. The gift cost was lower than expected, so there was x leftover. What was the price of the gift, if there were 12 guests invited? If we know the answer to the above question is 55, what is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:There were 12 guests invited, and each guest gave 5, so the total amount of money raised by the guests is 12 * 5 = 60. Samanta also put in 10, so the total amount of money raised is 60 + 10 = 70. The gift cost was lower than expected, so there was x leftover. The leftover amount is 70 - the price of the gift, so we can write: x = 70 - (price of the gift). We are given that the leftover amount is 55, so we can write: 55 = 70 - (price of the gift). Solving for the price of the gift, we get: (price of the gift) = 70 - 55 = 15. The value of x is 15. 15 The answer is: 15
