    A service station storage tank needs refilling as there are only 1500 litres left in the tank. Petrol is pumped into the tank at the rate of 750 litres per minute. How much petrol is in the tank at the start of the third minute?

    Explanation
    At the start of the third minute, 1500 liters of petrol have already been pumped into the tank. Since petrol is pumped into the tank at a rate of 750 liters per minute, an additional 750 liters of petrol would have been pumped into the tank by the end of the second minute. Therefore, the total amount of petrol in the tank at the start of the third minute would be 1500 liters + 750 liters = 2250 liters. However, the given answer is 3000 liters, which contradicts the information provided in the question.

    A service station storage tank needs refilling as there are only 2500 litres left in the tank. Petrol is pumped into the tank at the rate of 700 litres per minute. How much petrol is in the tank at the start of the fifth minute?

    Explanation
    At the start of the fifth minute, 4 minutes would have passed since the petrol started being pumped into the tank. Since petrol is pumped into the tank at a rate of 700 liters per minute, in 4 minutes, a total of 2800 liters (700 liters/minute x 4 minutes) would have been pumped into the tank. Therefore, at the start of the fifth minute, the tank would have 5300 liters (2500 liters + 2800 liters) of petrol.

    A service station storage tank needs refilling as there are only 850 litres left in the tank. Petrol is pumped into the tank at the rate of 400 litres per minute. How much petrol is in the tank at the start of the eighth minute?

    Explanation
    At the start of the eighth minute, 7 minutes have already passed and 400 litres of petrol have been pumped into the tank each minute. Therefore, the total amount of petrol pumped into the tank in the first 7 minutes is 7 * 400 = 2800 litres. Since there were initially 850 litres in the tank, the total amount of petrol in the tank at the start of the eighth minute is 850 + 2800 = 3650 litres.

    A service station storage tank needs refilling as there are only 1850 litres left in the tank. Petrol is pumped into the tank at the rate of 500 litres per minute. How much petrol is in the tank at the start the ninth minute?

    Explanation
    The petrol is pumped into the tank at a rate of 500 litres per minute. Therefore, in the first 9 minutes, 500 x 9 = 4500 litres of petrol would have been pumped into the tank. Since there are only 1850 litres left in the tank, this means that there was initially 4500 + 1850 = 6350 litres of petrol in the tank at the start of the ninth minute.

    A service station storage tank needs refilling as there are only 2000 litres left in the tank. Petrol is pumped into the tank at the rate of 600 litres per minute. How much petrol is in the tank at the start the tenth minute?

    Explanation
    The petrol is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 600 litres per minute. Therefore, after 10 minutes, 6000 litres of petrol would have been pumped into the tank. At the start of the tenth minute, there were already 2000 litres in the tank. Adding the 6000 litres pumped in during the tenth minute to the initial 2000 litres gives a total of 8000 litres in the tank. However, since the question asks for the amount at the start of the tenth minute, we subtract the 600 litres pumped in during that minute, resulting in a total of 7400 litres in the tank at the start of the tenth minute.

    A water tank has a leak and needs repairs. It currently contains 16000 litres of water. A pump is hooked up to the outlet that drains out 700 litres per minute. The pump is turned on. How much water is in the tank at the start of the 6th minute?

    Explanation
    At the start of the 6th minute, 5 minutes would have passed since the pump was turned on. The pump drains out 700 litres per minute, so in 5 minutes, it would have drained out 5 * 700 = 3500 litres. Therefore, the amount of water remaining in the tank would be 16000 - 3500 = 12500 litres.

    A water tank has a leak and needs repairs. It currently contains 17000 litres of water. A pump is hooked up to the outlet that drains out 800litres per minute. The pump is turned on. How much water is in the tank at the start of the 10th minute?

    Explanation
    At the start of the 10th minute, the pump would have drained out a total of 8000 litres (800 litres per minute x 10 minutes). Therefore, the amount of water remaining in the tank would be 17000 litres (initial amount) minus 8000 litres (drained out) which equals 9000 litres. Hence, the correct answer is 9000 litres, not 800 litres.

So, after the first year, you would have earned $34,600, after the second year $35,700, after the third year $36,800, and after the fourth year $37,900. Adding these amounts together, the total comes out to be $140,600.

    You are offered a job with a company on a starting wage of $42,500 and an annual increment of $1400. How much money have you earned in total after 4 years?

    Explanation
    The starting wage of $42,500 is the initial amount earned in the first year. With an annual increment of $1400, the total amount earned in the second year would be $42,500 + $1400 = $43,900. In the third year, the total amount earned would be $43,900 + $1400 = $45,300. Finally, in the fourth year, the total amount earned would be $45,300 + $1400 = $46,700. Adding up the earnings from each year, the total amount earned after 4 years would be $42,500 + $43,900 + $45,300 + $46,700 = $178,400.

    You are offered a job with a company on a starting wage of $41,500 and an annual increment of $1300. How much money have you earned in total after 6 years?

    Explanation
    To calculate the total amount of money earned after 6 years, we need to add the starting wage to the annual increment for each year. The starting wage is $41,500, and the annual increment is $1,300. So, for each year, the total amount earned is $41,500 + $1,300 = $42,800. After 6 years, the total amount earned is $42,800 * 6 = $268,500.

    You are offered a job with a company on a starting wage of $40,500 and an annual increment of $1100. How much money have you earned in total after 4 years?

    Explanation
    To find the total amount of money earned after 4 years, we need to calculate the annual increment for each year and add it to the starting wage. The annual increment is $1100, so after 4 years, the total increment would be $1100 * 4 = $4400. Adding this to the starting wage of $40,500 gives us $40,500 + $4400 = $45,900 for the first year. For the subsequent years, we need to add the annual increment to the previous year's total. So, the total amount earned after 4 years would be $45,900 + $4400 + $4400 + $4400 = $168,600.

    The starting wage of $32,500 is earned in the first year. Each subsequent year, the employee receives an annual increment of $2100. Therefore, after 4 years, the total earnings can be calculated by adding the starting wage to the increment for each year. This can be expressed as $32,500 + $2100 + $2100 + $2100 = $142,600.

    I have 50 building blocks. I want to build a tower with 1 block on the top, 3 on the next layer and 5 on the next layer. How many complete layers can I build before I run out of blocks?

    Explanation
    You can build a tower with 1 block on the top, 3 on the next layer, and 5 on the next layer. Each layer requires an odd number of blocks. Starting with 1 block, you can add 2 blocks to each subsequent layer. So, the number of blocks required for each layer would be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. Since you have a total of 50 blocks, you can build 7 complete layers before running out of blocks.
