Question: A family had 10 eggs, but the mother used 5 of them to make an omelet. Then, 2 chickens laid 3 eggs each. How many eggs does the family have now?
Answer: There were 10 eggs but 5 of them were used so, there are 10 - 5 = 5 eggs. Then the two chickens laid 2 * 3 = 6 eggs in total. Thus, the family has 5 + 6 = 11 eggs now. The answer is 11.
[Question]Helga went shopping for a new pair of shoes. At the first store, she tried on 7 pairs of shoes. At the second store, she tried on 2 more pairs than at the first store. At the third store, she did not try on any shoes, but she did buy a scarf. But at the fourth store, she tried on twice as many pairs of shoes as she did at all three other stores combined, before finally choosing a pair to buy. What is the total number of pairs of shoes Helga tried on before buying her new shoes?
[Answer]At the second store, she tried on 7 + 2 = 9 pairs of shoes. Therefore, at the first three stores, she tried on 7 + 9 + 0 = 16 pairs of shoes. At the fourth store, she tried on 16 * 2 = 32 pairs of shoes. Thus, in total, she tried on 16 + 32 = 48 pairs of shoes. The answer is 48.

A: He has 2 horses, 5 dogs, 7 cats, 3 turtles and 1 goat so in total he has 2 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 18 animal. Each animal has 4 legs so 18 * 4 = 72 legs total. The answer is 72.
Question: The class has to guess how many jellybeans are in a jar the teacher brought in. He lets 4 students make their guesses. The first thinks it contains 100 jellybeans. The second says there are 8 times as many. The third guesses 200 less than the third. The fourth takes the average of the first three guesses, and then adds 25 to it. How many jellybeans did the fourth student guess?
Answer: The second student guessed 800 because 8 x 100 = 800. The third guessed 600 because 800 - 200 = 600. The total guesses of the first three is 1500 because 100 + 800 + 600 = 1500. The average of the first three guesses is 500 because 1500 / 3 = 500. The fourth student guessed 525 because 500 + 25 = 525. The answer is 525.
[Question]If the first skyscraper was built 100 years ago, how many years in the future will it be 5 years before its 200th anniversary of being built?
[Answer]First, we perform 200 - 5 = 195 to find the number of total years from the building being built that we're looking for. Then, we subtract out the 100 years that have already passed to determine the remaining amount of time, performing 195 - 100 = 95 years in the future. The answer is 95.
[Question]Henry drinks 15 bottles of kombucha every month. Each bottle costs $3.00 and is eligible for a cash refund of $0.10 per bottle when he takes it to a recycling center. After 1 year, how many bottles of kombucha will he be able to buy after he receives his cash refund?
[Answer]
He drinks 15 bottles every month and there are 12 months in 1 year so that's 15 * 12 = 180 bottles. He earns $0.10 on every bottle that he recycles so that's .10 * 180 = $18.00. He has $18.00 and each bottle costs $3.00 so he can buy 18 / 3 = 6 bottles. The answer is 6.
