Step-by-step solution for: Decimal Word Problems Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve each problem step by step and explain the reasoning behind each solution.

Problem: A monthly Hulu subscription costs $11.99. If a customer signs up for a year, how much will they pay in total?
Solution:
- Monthly cost = $11.99
- Number of months in a year = 12
- Total annual cost = $11.99 × 12
$$
11.99 \times 12 = 143.88
$$
✔ Answer: $143.88

Problem: Sarah watched her favorite show on Hulu for 2.5 hours on Monday, 3.75 hours on Tuesday, and 3.25 hours on Wednesday. How many hours did she watch in total?
Solution:
Add all the hours:
$$
2.5 + 3.75 + 3.25 = 9.5 \text{ hours}
$$
✔ Answer: 9.5 hours

Problem: A show on Hulu has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. If there are 1000 reviews, how many reviews gave the show a perfect rating (5 stars)?
Solution:
This is tricky because we don't know the distribution of ratings — just the average. But if we assume only two possible ratings (e.g., 5 stars or some lower rating), we can set up an equation.
But since no such assumption is given, we must consider that we cannot determine exactly how many gave a perfect rating with only the average and total number of reviews.
However, if this problem assumes only 5-star and 4-star ratings, we could solve it. But since it doesn't specify, let’s suppose it's a common trick question where you're expected to realize insufficient data.
But wait — perhaps the problem expects us to use the idea that:
Let:
- $ x $ = number of 5-star reviews
- $ 1000 - x $ = number of non-5-star reviews
But without knowing the other ratings, we can’t find $ x $. So unless more info is given, this problem is unsolvable as stated.
Wait — maybe it's implying only 5-star and 0-star? That would be unrealistic.
Alternatively, perhaps it's a misinterpretation. Let's reconsider.
Actually, a typical way this type of problem is solved is by assuming all other ratings are 4 stars, but again, not specified.
So unless there's more context, this problem lacks sufficient information.
But if we assume only 5-star and 4-star reviews, then:
Let $ x $ = number of 5-star reviews
Then $ 1000 - x $ = number of 4-star reviews
Average rating:
$$
\frac{5x + 4(1000 - x)}{1000} = 4.8
$$
Solve:
$$
\frac{5x + 4000 - 4x}{1000} = 4.8 \\
\frac{x + 4000}{1000} = 4.8 \\
x + 4000 = 4800 \\
x = 800
$$
✔ Answer: 800 reviews gave a perfect rating (assuming only 4- and 5-star ratings).
> ⚠️ Note: This assumption is necessary; otherwise, the problem is underspecified.

Problem: Hulu offers a 14-day free trial for new customers. If 3/10 of the customers who sign up for the free trial continue their subscription, how many of 500 free trial customers will continue?
Solution:
- Fraction continuing = $ \frac{3}{10} $
- Total trial users = 500
$$
\frac{3}{10} \times 500 = 150
$$
✔ Answer: 150 customers
---
Problem: Hulu offers a 15% discount on annual subscriptions compared to monthly subscriptions. If the monthly subscription is $12.99, how much can a customer save by choosing the annual subscription?
Solution:
- Monthly price = $12.99
- Annual cost without discount = $12.99 × 12 = $155.88
- Discount = 15% of $155.88
$$
0.15 \times 155.88 = 23.382 \approx 23.38
$$
✔ Answer: $23.38 saved

Problem: During a one-hour show on Hulu, 12 minutes are dedicated to advertisements. What is the fraction of the show dedicated to advertisements?
Solution:
- One hour = 60 minutes
- Ad time = 12 minutes
Fraction = $ \frac{12}{60} = \frac{1}{5} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{5} $
---
Problem: Hulu has 10 million subscribers, each paying $9.99 per month. What is their total monthly revenue?
Solution:
- Number of subscribers = 10,000,000
- Price per subscriber = $9.99
$$
10,000,000 \times 9.99 = 99,900,000
$$
✔ Answer: $99,900,000

Problem: Alex decided to binge-watch a full season of a show on Hulu. If the season has 12 episodes, each with an average duration of 45 minutes, how many hours will Alex spend watching the entire season?
Solution:
- Total minutes = 12 × 45 = 540 minutes
- Convert to hours: $ \frac{540}{60} = 9 $ hours
✔ Answer: 9 hours
---
Problem: Hulu produces 20% of its own original shows. If there are 500 shows available on Hulu, how many of them are original shows?
Solution:
- 20% of 500 = $ 0.20 \times 500 = 100 $
✔ Answer: 100 original shows
