question:A football club has a balance of 100 million. The club then sells 2 of its players at 10 million each, and buys 4 more at 15 million each. How much money is left in the club register in millions of dollars?
answer:The club sells 2 players at 10 million each, so they earn 2 * 10 million = 20 million. The club buys 4 players at 15 million each, so they spend 4 * 15 million = 60 million. The initial balance of the club is 100 million, they earn 20 million and spend 60 million. So, the remaining balance in the club register is 100 million + 20 million - 60 million = 60 million. 60 The answer is: 60
question:Sid takes 48 with him on a shopping trip to the mall. He spent some of his money on computer accessories and another 8 on snacks. After these purchases, he only has x more than half of his original money left. He spent 12 on computer accessories. 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 amount of money Sid has left after his purchases. Let's break down the information given: Original amount of money: 48 Amount spent on computer accessories: 12 Amount spent on snacks: 8 Amount of money left: x more than half of the original money We can set up the equation as follows: Original amount of money - Amount spent on computer accessories - Amount spent on snacks = x + (1/2 * original amount of money) 48 - 12 - 8 = x + (1/2 * 48) 28 = x + (1/2 * 48) Let's simplify and solve for x: 28 = x + 24 To isolate x, we subtract 24 from both sides of the equation: 28 - 24 = x + 24 - 24 4 = x The value of x is 4. 4 The answer is: 4
question:Laura is planning her wedding and anticipates that 220 people will attend. However, it is estimated that around 5% of the invited guests usually do not show up. How many people are expected to attend her wedding?
answer:If Laura invited 220 people, and 5% of them usually do not show up, then 220 x 0.05 = 11 people are expected to not show up. Therefore, the expected number of people to attend her wedding is 220 - 11 = 209. 209 The answer is: 209
