Q: A bar of chocolate is made up of 60 pieces. If Michael takes half of the bar, Paige takes half of the remainder, and Mandy is left with what’s left of the chocolate bar, how many pieces of chocolate will Mandy get?
A: 15
Step-by-step reasoning process: Michael takes half which is 60 pieces / 2 = 30 pieces. Paige then takes half of this which gives her 30 pieces / 2 = 15 pieces. Mandy is therefore left with 60 pieces – 30 pieces – 15 pieces = 15 pieces.


Q: A Moroccan restaurant received 3 different shipments of couscous. The first two shipments of 7 and 13 pounds arrived on the same day. The next day's shipment was 45 pounds of couscous. If it takes 5 pounds of couscous to make a dish, how many dishes did the restaurant make?
A: 13
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first two shipments of couscous added up to 7 + 13 = 20 pounds. Adding that weight to the next day’s shipment results in a total weight of 20 + 45 = 65 pounds. Since each dish takes 5 pounds, then the restaurant makes 65 / 5 = 13 dishes.


Q: A 220-liter barrel has a small leak. It lost 10% of its contents before anyone noticed. How many liters are left in the barrel?
A: 198
Step-by-step reasoning process: The barrel lost 220 * 10 / 100 = 22 liters before anyone noticed. So, 220 – 22 = 198 liters are left in the barrel.


Q: Phillip's mother asked him to go to the supermarket to buy some things and gave him $95, so he spent $14 on oranges, $25 on apples and $6 on candy. How much money does he have left?
A: 50
Step-by-step reasoning process: If we add everything Phillip bought, we will have: $14 + $25 + $6 = $45. He spent $45, and we know that he had $95 dollars, so now we have to subtract: $95 - $45 = $50.
