[Question]Leo has to write a 400-word story for his literature class. 10 words fit on each line of his notebook and 20 lines fit on each page. Lucas has filled one and a half pages. How many words does he have left to write?
[Answer]Half a page is 20 / 2 = 10 lines. In total, he has written 20 + 10 = 30 lines. The 30 lines written are 30 * 10 = 300 words. Lucas has 400 - 300 = 100 words left to write. The answer is 100.
Q: Jeff decides to install more cabinets in his kitchen. He currently has 3 cabinets over one counter and no other cabinets. He installs twice as many cabinets over 3 different counters each. He then installs 5 more cabinets. How many total cabinets does he have?
A: He installs 3 * 2 = 6 cabinets over each counter. So he installs 6 * 3 = 18 cabinets over counters. That means he installed a total of 18 + 5 = 23 cabinets. So he has 23 + 3 = 26 cabinets. The answer is 26.
Question: Mary does her grocery shopping on Saturday. She does her shopping only at a specific store where she is allowed a credit of $100, which must be paid in full before her next shopping trip. That week she spent the full credit limit and paid $15 of it on Tuesday and $23 of it on Thursday. How much credit will Mary need to pay before her next shopping trip?
Answer: So far, Mary has paid back $15 + $23 = $38 of the credit. So she still needs to pay $100 - $38 = $62. The answer is 62.
[Question]Reggie and his brother are having a basketball shooting contest. They each get to take 10 shots. Layups are worth 1 point, free throws are worth 2 points, and anything further away is worth 3 points. Reggie makes 3 layups, two free throws, and one long shot. His brother only shoots long shots and makes 4 of them. How many points does Reggie lose by?
[Answer]Reggie makes 3 points off layups because 3 x 1 = 3. Reggie makes 4 points off free - throws because 2 x 2 = 4. Reggie makes 3 points off long shots because 1 x 3 = 3. Reggie scores 10 points because 3 + 4 + 3 = 10. His brother scores 12 points because 4 x 3 = 12. Reggie loses by 2 because 12 - 10 = 2. The answer is 2.
Q: Angeli had 90 assorted candies. One-third of the candies were lollipops and the rest were candy canes. She then shared the lollipops equally among the boys such that each boy received 3. She then shared the candy canes equally among the girls such that each received 2. How many boys and girls were given altogether?
A: There were 90 / 3 = 30 lollipops. So, 90 - 30 = 60 are candy canes. Each boy received 3 lollipops, so there were 30 / 3 = 10 boys. Each girl received 2 candy canes, so there were 60 / 2 = 30 girls. Altogether, there were 10 + 30 = 40 boys and girls. The answer is 40.
Question: Steve has decided to become a baker. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, he bakes apple pies. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he bakes cherry pies. If he bakes 12 pies per day, how many more apple pies does he bake than cherry pies in one week?
Answer:
In one week, he bakes 3 * 12 = 36 apple pies. In one week, he bakes 2 * 12 = 24 cherry pies. He bakes 36 - 24 = 12 more apple pies. The answer is 12.
