Q: Tony paid $7 for 2 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. Arnold paid $5 for 1 dozen apples and 1 bunch of bananas. How much does a bunch of bananas cost?
A: Tony paid $7 - $5 = $2 more than Arnold. We know he bought the same number of bananas as Arnold but that he bought 2 - 1 = 1 dozen apples more than Arnold. Therefore a dozen apples should cost $2. If Arnold paid $5 and $2 for a dozen apples then the bunch of bananas cost $5 - $2 = $3. The answer is 3.
Question: There are 3 meatballs on each spaghetti plate. If Theresa's 3 sons each eat two-thirds of the meatballs on their respective plates, how many meatballs are still left on their plates altogether?

[Question]To make pizza, together with other ingredients, Kimber needs 10 cups of water, 16 cups of flour, and 1/2 times as many teaspoons of salt as the number of cups of flour. Calculate the combined total number of cups of water, flour, and teaspoons of salt that she needs to make the pizza.
[Answer]To make the pizza, Kimber half as many teaspoons of salt as the number of cups of flour, meaning she needs 1 / 2 * 16 = 8 teaspoons of salt. The total number of cups of flour and teaspoons of salt she needs is 8 + 16 = 24. She also needs 10 cups of water, which means the total number of cups of water and flour and teaspoons of salt she needs is 24 + 10 = 34. The answer is 34.
Q: Chad saves 40% of the money he earns/receives in a year. This year, he made $600 mowing yards and received $250.00 for his birthday/holidays. He also made $150.00 by selling some old video games and another $150.00 doing odd jobs. How much will he save?
A: He made $600.00 mowing yards, $250.00 for his birthday, $150.00 selling items and $150.00 doing odd jobs so he made 600 + 250 + 150 + 150 = $1,150.00. He made $1,150.00 and will save 40% so he saves 1150 * .40 = $460.00. The answer is 460.
Question: Harry is a professional dog-walker. He is paid to go on long walks with dogs while their families are away from home. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Harry walks 7 dogs. On Tuesday, he walks 12 dogs. And on Thursday he walks 9 dogs. He is paid $5 for each dog that he walks. How many dollars does Harry earn in a week?
Answer: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Harry walks a total of 3 * 7 = 21 dogs. Thus, in a week he walks 21 + 12 + 9 = 42 dogs. At a rate of $5 per dog, Harry ears $5 * 42 = $210 per week. The answer is 210.
Q: A YouTube video is 100 hours long. Lila decides to watch it at two times the average speed. Roger, her friend, also watch the same video at the average speed. If they both watched six of the same videos, what's the total number of hours they watched?
A:
When Lila watches the video at twice the normal speed, the video takes 100 / 2 = 50 hours. When she watches six such videos, the total number of video hours becomes 50 * 6 = 300 hours. Roger, her friend, watches 6 videos at the normal speed, which is 6 * 100 = 600 video hours. The total number of hours watched by the two is 600 + 300 = 900 hours. The answer is 900.
