There are 30 different nuts in a bowl. If 5/6 of the nuts were eaten, how many nuts were left? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. 30 x 5 / 6 = 25 nuts were eaten. Thus, 30 - 25 = 5 nuts were left.. The answer is: 5.

Kirt has a $6000 monthly salary when he started his job. After a year of working, his salary increased by 30%. How much are his total earnings after 3 years? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. His annual salary for the first year of working is 6000 x 12 = $72000. Kirt's monthly increase is $6000 x 30 / 100 = $1800. So, he received $6000 + $1800 = $7800 monthly on the second and third year of working. Kirt's annual salary in the second and third year was $7800 x 12 = $93600. . Thus, his total earning after 3 years is $72000 + $93600 + $93600 = $259200.. The answer is: 259200.

Steven, Stephanie, and Sonya went ice skating. Steven only fell down 3 times, but Stephanie had 13 more falls than Steven. If Sonya fell down 2 times less than half the number of times Stephanie fell, how many times did Sonya fall? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Stephanie fell 13 + 3 = 16 times. Half the number of times Stephanie fell is 16 / 2 = 8 times. Sonya fell down 8 - 2 = 6 times.. The answer is: 6.
