Question: The difference between the price of an orange and the price of a pear equals the price of a banana. If the total cost of an orange and a pear is $120 and a pear costs $90, calculate the total price of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas.
Answer: If the total cost of an orange and a pear is $120, and a pear costs $90, an orange costs $120 - $90 = $30. Since the difference between the price of an orange and a pear is the price of a banana, a banana is sold at $90 - $30 = $60. To buy 200 bananas, you'll pay $60 * 200 = $12000. When you twice as many oranges as bananas, you buy 2 * 200 = 400 oranges. The total cost of buying 400 oranges is 400 * 30 = $12000. The total price of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas is $12000 + $12000 = $24000. The answer is 24000.

Q: If 3 boys each make 12 muffins for a bake sale, and 2 other girls are making 20 muffins each, how many total muffins will be for sale?
A: The boys baked a total of 3 x 12 = 36 muffins. The girls baked a total of 2 x 20 = 40 muffins. Hence, there are a total of 36 + 40 = 76 muffins that will be for sale. The answer is 76.
Question: Matt is four times as old as Fem. Currently, Fem is 11 years old. In two years, what is the sum of the ages of Matt and Fem?
Answer: Matt is 11 x 4 = 44 years old now. In 2 years, Matt will be 44 + 2 = 46 years old. In 2 years, Fem will be 11 + 2 = 13 years old. So, the sum of their ages in two years is 46 + 13 = 59 years old. The answer is 59.
[Question]You walk twice as fast as Mr. Harris, and Mr. Harris took 2 hours to walk to the store. If your destination is 3 times further away than the store Mr. Harris walked to, how many hours will it take you to get there?
[Answer]First we find out how long it would take Mr. Harris to walk to your destination, which we find by multiplying his 2 hour walk by 3 since your destination is 3 times further away, meaning it would take him 2 * 3 = 6 hours. Since you walk twice as fast, it would take you half the time. Half of 6, 6 / 2 = 3 hours in total. The answer is 3.
[Question]Samir just turned half the age Hania was 10 years ago. If in five years Hania will be 45 years old, what will Samir's age be five years from now?
[Answer]
If in five years, Hania will be 45 years old, currently she is 45 - 5 = 40 years old. Ten years ago, Hania was 40 - 10 = 30 years old. Samir just turned half the age Hania was 10 years ago, which means she is 30 / 2 = 15 years old. In five years, Samir will be 15 + 5 = 20 years old. The answer is 20.
