Question: Janice bought five juices for $10 in total and two sandwiches for $6 in total. How much would she need to pay, if she would only buy one sandwich and one juice?
Answer: Janice bought five juices for $10, so one juice costs 10 / 5 = $2. She also bought two sandwiches for $6, so one sandwich costs 6 / 2 = $3. So for one juice and one sandwich, Janice would need to pay 2 + 3 = $5. The answer is 5.
[Question]At the feline sanctuary, there were 12 lions, 14 tigers, and several cougars. If there were half as many cougars as lions and tigers combined, then what was the total number of big cats at the feline sanctuary?
[Answer]Half as many cougars as lions and tigers combined is (12 + 14) / 2 = 13. Then the total number of big cats at the feline sanctuary is 12 + 14 + 13 = 39. The answer is 39.
Q: Tony tries to drink more water, so he has been tracking how much water he drinks. Yesterday, he drank 48 ounces of water, which is 4% less than what he drank two days ago. How much water did Tony drink two days ago?
A: Tony drank yesterday 100% - 4% = 96% of what he drank two days ago. Since 96% is 48 ounces, then every 1% is equal to 48 / 96 = 0.5 ounces of water. So, Tony drank 0.5 x 100 = 50 ounces two days ago. The answer is 50.
Question: Beth has 72 marbles of three colors. Each color has the same amount of marbles. If Beth loses 5 red, twice as many blue, and three times as many yellow ones than red ones, how many marbles does she have left?
Answer: Beth has 72 / 3 = 24 marbles of each color. Beth has 24 - 5 = 19 red ones left. Beth lost 5 * 2 = 10 blue ones. Beth has 24 - 10 = 14 blue ones left. Beth lost 5 * 3 = 15 yellow ones. Beth has 24 - 15 = 9 yellow ones left. She has a total of 19 + 14 + 9 = 42 marbles left. The answer is 42.
Q: Napoleon has 17 jelly beans and Sedrich has 4 more jelly beans than Napoleon. If twice the sum of Napoleon and Sedrich's jelly beans is 4 times the number of jelly beans that Mikey has, how many jelly beans does Mikey have?
