Question and rationale: The question is: Sarah wants to start a cupcake business and was approved for a business loan. The loan has 0% interest if she pays the entire amount back in 5 years, which she decides to do. If she put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments are $600.00, how much was her loan for (including the down payment)?
Step-by-step reasoning process: To avoid interest she'll make payments for 5 years. There are 12 months in 1 year so that's 5 * 12 = 60 months. Each monthly payment is $600.00 and she'll pay that for 60 months for a total of 600 * 60 = $36,000. She also put $10,000 down as a down payment and her monthly payments came out to $36,000 so her loan was for 10000 + 36000 = $46,000.

Question and rationale: The question is: At Clark's Food Store, apples cost 40 dollars for a dozen, and pears cost 50 dollars for a dozen. If Hank bought 14 dozen of each kind of fruit, how many dollars did he spend?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Hank bought 14 dozen apples, he spent 14 * $40 = $560. Hank also spent $50 * 14 = $700 for 14 dozen pears. The total cost of the fruits that hank bought is $700 + $560 = $1260.

Question and rationale: The question is: There are 100 lions in Londolozi at first. If lion cubs are born at the rate of 5 per month and lions die at the rate of 1 per month, how many lions will there be in Londolozi after 1 year?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 5 - 1 = 4 more lions each month. There will be 4 * 12 = 48 more lions after 1 year. There will be 100 + 48 = 148 lions in Londolozi after 1 year.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Harris feeds his dog 1 large organic carrot over the course of 1 day. There are 5 carrots in a 1 pound bag and each bag costs $2.00. In one year, how much will Harris spend on carrots?
Step-by-step reasoning process: His dog gets 1 carrot a day and there are 365 days in a year, so his dog eats 1 * 365 = 365 carrots. There are 5 carrots per bag and he will need 365 carrots, so that's 365 / 5 = 73 bags of carrots. The bags cost $2.00 and he will need 73 bags so that's $2 * 73 = $146.00 worth of organic carrots.
