Answer the following question.
Cristian has 50 more black cookies in his cookie jar than white cookies. He eats half of the black cookies and 3/4 of the white cookies. If he initially had 80 white cookies, how many cookies are remaining within the cookie jar altogether?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Cristian eats 3 / 4 * 80 = 60 white cookies from the jar, 3 / 4 of the total number of white cookies in the cookie jar. The number of white cookies remaining in the cookie jar is 80 - 60 = 20. In his cookie jar, Cristian also has 80 + 50 = 130 black cookies. He eats 1 / 2 * 130 = 65 black cookies from the cookie jar. He remains with 130 - 65 = 65 black cookies after eating half of them. In total, Cristian has 65 + 20 = 85 cookies remaining in the jar.
The answer is 85.

Answer the following question.
On a highway, the total number of vehicles passing is 300. If the number of cars on the highway is twice the number of trucks, find out the total number of trucks on the highway?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If we assume that the number of trucks on the highway is t, the number of cars on the highway will be 2 * t = 2t. The total number of cars and trucks on the road is 2t + t = 300. The number of vehicles on the road is 3t = 300. The are t = 300 / 3 trucks on the highway. This means there are t = 100 trucks on the road.
The answer is 100.

Answer the following question.
John raises butterflies. He has 4 jars of 10 caterpillars each. 40% of them fail to become butterflies, but the rest become caterpillars.  He sells the butterflies for $3 each. How much money does he make?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He has 4 * 10 = 40 caterpillars. 40 * .4 = 16 fail to form. That means he has 40 - 16 = 24 butterflies. So he makes 24 * 3 = $72.
The answer is 72.
