Question: A baker has 10 cheesecakes on the display while 15 more are still in the fridge. If the baker has sold 7 cheesecakes from the display, how many more cheesecakes are left to be sold?
Answer: A baker has a total of 10 + 15 = 25 cheesecakes both from the display and the fridge. Therefore, there are 25 - 7 = 18 more cheesecakes to be sold. The answer is 18.
[Question]Last night, Olive charged her phone for 10 hours. Assuming each hour of charge lasts the phone 2 hours of use, calculate the total time Olive would be able to use her phone before it goes off if she charges it for 3/5 of the time she charged the phone last night.
[Answer]If Olive charges her phone for 3 / 5 of the time she charged the phone last night, the phone would be charged for 3 / 5 * 10 = 6 hours. Assuming each hour of charge lasts the phone 2 hours of use, the phone will last for 6 * 2 = 12 hours before it goes off when Olive uses it on a six hours charge. The answer is 12.
Q: If two piles of toys added together make 120 toys in total, and the larger of the two piles is twice as big as the smaller one, how many toys are in the larger pile?
A: First, we set up the equation 3x = 120, dividing both sides by three to find that x = 40. Then we multiply X by 2 to find that 40 * 2 = 80. As 80 / 2 = 40, and 40 + 80 = 120, we find the sizes of the two piles as the larger pile is twice as big as the smaller pile, confirming that 80 is the answer. The answer is 80.

[Question]Marcus wants to buy a new pair of shoes. He decided to pay not more than $130 for them. He found a pair for $120, on which he got a discount of 30%. How much money will he manage to save by buying these shoes and not spending the assumed maximum amount?
[Answer]The discount on the shoes Marcus found is 120 * 30 / 100 = $36. That means he only had to pay 120 - 36 = $84. So Marcus was able to save 130 - 84 = $46. The answer is 46.
[Question]Milo can roll downhill on his skateboard at twice the speed that he can run. And Milo's best friend, Cory, can drive his wheelchair at twice the speed that Milo can roll downhill on his skateboard. If Cory always drives his wheelchair at 12 miles per hour, how many miles can Milo run in two hours?
[Answer]
Since Cory drives his wheelchair at 12 miles per hour, then Milo rolls downhill on his skateboard at 12 / 2 = 6 miles per hour. Therefore, Milo runs at 6 / 2 = 3 miles per hour. If Milo runs for 2 hours at 3 miles per hour, then Milo will travel 2 * 3 = 6 miles. The answer is 6.
