| Question: In 2004, there were 60 kids at a cookout. In 2005, half the number of kids came to the cookout as compared to 2004. In 2006, 2/3 as many kids came to the cookout as in 2005. How many kids came to the cookout in 2006? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| In 2005, 60/2=30 kids came to the cookout. | |
| In 2006, 30/3*2=20 kids came to the cookout. | |
| The answer is 20 | |
| Question: Zilla spent 7% of her monthly earnings on rent, half of it on her other monthly expenses, and put the rest in her savings. If she spent $133 on her rent, how much does she deposit into her savings account in a month? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| Since $133 is equal to 7% of her earnings, then 1% is equal to $133/7 = $19. | |
| The total monthly earning of Zilla is represented by 100%, so $19 x 100 = $1900 is her monthly earnings. | |
| So, $1900/2 = $950 is spent on her other monthly expenses. | |
| The total amount spent on the rent and other monthly expenses is $133 + $950 = $1083. | |
| Hence, she saves $1900 - $1083 = $817 per month. | |
| The answer is 817 | |
| Question: If Buzz bought a pizza with 78 slices at a restaurant and then decided to share it with the waiter in the ratio of 5:8, with Buzz's ratio being 5, what's twenty less the number of slices of pizza that the waiter ate? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| The total ratio representing the slices of pizza that Buzz bought is 5+8=13 | |
| If he shared the slices of pizza with the waiter, the waiter received a fraction of 8/13 of the total number of slices, which totals 8/13 * 78 = 48 slices | |
| Twenty less the number of slices of pizza that the waiter ate is 48-20 = 28 | |
| The answer is 28 | |
| Question: Jame gets a raise to $20 per hour and works 40 hours a week. His old job was $16 an hour for 25 hours per week. How much more money does he make per year in his new job than the old job if he works 52 weeks a year? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| He makes 20*40=$800 per week | |
| He used to make 16*25=$400 per week | |
| So his raise was 800-400=$400 per week | |
| So he makes 400*52=$20,800 per year more | |
| The answer is 20800 | |
| Question: Mr. Gardner bakes 20 cookies, 25 cupcakes, and 35 brownies for his second-grade class of 20 students. If he wants to give each student an equal amount of sweet treats, how many sweet treats will each student receive? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| Mr. Gardner bakes a total of 20 + 25 + 35 = 80 sweet treats | |
| Each student will receive 80 / 20 = 4 sweet treats | |
| The answer is 4 | |
| Question: A used car lot has 24 cars and motorcycles (in total) for sale. A third of the vehicles are motorcycles, and a quarter of the cars have a spare tire included. How many tires are on the used car lot’s vehicles in all? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| The used car lot has 24 / 3 = 8 motorcycles with 2 tires each. | |
| The lot has 24 - 8 = 16 cars for sale | |
| There are 16 / 4 = 4 cars with a spare tire with 5 tires each. | |
| The lot has 16 - 4 = 12 cars with 4 tires each. | |
| Thus, the used car lot’s vehicles have 8 * 2 + 4 * 5 + 12 * 4 = 16 + 20 + 48 = 84 tires in all. | |
| The answer is 84 | |
| Question: Norma takes her clothes to the laundry. She leaves 9 T-shirts and twice as many sweaters as T-shirts in the washer. When she returns she finds 3 sweaters and triple the number of T-shirts. How many items are missing? | |
| Let's think step by step | |
| Norma left 9 T-shirts And twice as many sweaters, she took 9 * 2= 18 sweaters | |
| Adding the T-shirts and sweaters, Norma left 9 + 18 = 27 clothes | |
| When she came back, she found 3 sweaters And triple the number of T-shirts, she found 3 * 3 = 9 T-shirts | |
| Adding the T-shirts and sweaters, Norma found 3 + 9 = 12 clothes | |
| Subtracting the clothes she left from the clothes she found, 27 - 12 = 15 clothes are missing | |
| The answer is 15 | |
| Question: Adam has an orchard. Every day for 30 days he picks 4 apples from his orchard. After a month, Adam has collected all the remaining apples, which were 230. How many apples in total has Adam collected from his orchard? | |

| During 30 days Adam picked 4 * 30 = 120 apples. | |
| So in total with all the remaining apples, he picked 120 + 230 = 350 apples from his orchard. | |
| The answer is 350 | |
