Question: Janette went camping for 5 days. She brought along 40 pieces of beef jerky. She wants to ration it out so that she can eat 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and 2 for dinner each day. When she returns from the trip, she plans on giving half of the remaining pieces to her brother. How many pieces of beef jerky will she have left once she does this?
Answer: Each day she eats a total of 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 pieces of jerky. For the entire trip, she will consume a total of 4 * 5 = 20 pieces of jerky. She gives half to her brother, which will leave her a total of 20 / 2 = 10 pieces of jerky. The answer is 10.

Q: Trey is raising money for a new bike that costs $112. He plans to spend the next two weeks selling bracelets for $1 each. On average, how many bracelets does he need to sell each day?
A: He needs to sell 112 bracelets because 112 divided by 1 equals 112. He has 14 days to sell bracelets because there are seven days in a week and he has two weeks seven times 2 equals 14. He has to sell 8 bracelets a day because 112 divided by 14 equals 8. The answer is 8.
Question: Vaishali wears a beautiful piece of clothing called a Saree, a traditional Indian dress for women. It is mostly tangerine-colored, with blue, brown, and gold-colored decorative stripes. There are three times as many gold stripes as brown stripes, and five times as many blue stripes as gold stripes. If there are 4 brown stripes, how many blue stripes does Vaishali's Saree have?
Answer: With 3 times as many gold stripes as brown stripes, this means there are 3 * 4 = 12 gold stripes. With five times as many blue stripes as gold stripes, this means there are 5 * 12 = 60 blue stripes. The answer is 60.
[Question]A factory uses robots to manufacture batteries. For each battery that is made, it takes a robot 6 minutes to gather the materials for the battery and 9 minutes to create the battery. If the factory has 10 robots working on batteries at the same time, how many batteries can the robots manufacture in 5 hours?
[Answer]For each battery that a robot makes, it takes 9 + 6 = 15 minutes to create the battery. In 60 minutes, one robot can make 60 / 15 = 4 batteries per hour. If the factory uses 10 robots at the same time, then they can produce 10 * 4 = 40 batteries per hour. At a rate of 40 batteries per hour, 10 robots can produce 40 * 5 = 200 batteries in 5 hours. The answer is 200.
[Question]Monica charges $25.00 per person when catering a dinner party. For repeat customers, she offers a 10% discount. Phoebe is a repeat customer who is having a dinner party for 20 guests. How much will Monica make from the party?
[Answer]
Phoebe is having 20 guests and Monica charges $25.00 per person so that’s 20 * 25 = $500.00. Phoebe is a repeat customer so she gets 10% off of $500.00 so that’s .10 * 500 = $50.00 discount. Monica is charging $500.00 minus the repeat customer discount of $50.00 so she will make 500 - 50 = $450.00. The answer is 450.
