Reasoning and answer: For the first 183 days he drives 183 * 30 = 5490 miles. There are 365 - 183 = 182 days left in the year. He drives 35 * 182 = 6370 for those days. So in total he drives 5490 + 6370 = 11,860.
The answer: 11860

He used to use 5 * 15 = 75 gallons of water per day. This means he used 75 * 30 = 2250 gallons a month. His new toilet uses 5 * .8 = 4 gallons less water per flush. So, it only uses 5 - 4 = 1 gallon per flush. That means he uses 1 * 15 = 15 gallons per day. All in all, it accounts for a total usage of 15 * 30 = 450 gallons. So, he saved 2250 - 450 = 1800 gallons per month.
The answer: 1800

If Carla had 400 chickens on her chicken farm, the number that died is 40 / 100 * 400 = 160. Carla remained with 400 - 160 = 240 chickens. Carla then bought 10 * 160 = 1600 new chickens. The total number of chicken that Carla had now is 1600 + 240 = 1840.
The answer: 1840

Reasoning and answer: The total rain was 2 inches + 1 inches = 3 inches on Monday. The total rain was 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches on Tuesday. The total rain was 0 inches + 1 inch = 1 inch across Wednesday and Thursday. The total rain was 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch = 10 inches on Friday. There were 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch + 10 inches = 20 inches total last week. 20 inches / 5 days = 4 inches average daily rain.
The answer: 4
