[Question]Carla works at a food bank and she currently has stocked up 2000 cans of food. One day, 500 people showed up and took 1 can of food each. Carla had to then restock 1500 more cans to keep up with demand. The next day, 1000 people showed up and took 2 cans of food each. Carla restocked again with 3000 cans of food this time. How many cans of food did Carla give away?
[Answer]One day, 2000 - 500 = 1500 cans of food were left. It was then restocked to 1500 + 1500 = 3000 cans. 1000 * 2 = 2000 cans were taken the next day. 3000 - 2000 = 1000 cans were left. It was restocked once more to 1000 + 3000 = 4000 cans of food. Carla gave away 500 + 2000 = 2500 cans of food. The answer is 2500.
Q: Dino does some online gig work for a living. He works 20 hours a month making $10 an hour. He works 30 hours a month making $20 an hour. He works 5 hours a month making $40 an hour. He pays $500 a month in expenses. How much money does Dino have left at the end of the month?
A: Dino works 20 hours at a rate of $10 an hour, which means that work pays him 20 * 10 = 200 dollars a month. Dino works 30 hours at a rate of $20 an hour, which means that work pays him 30 * 20 = 600 dollars a month. Dino works 5 hours at a rate of $40 an hour, which means that work pays him 5 * 40 = 200 dollars a month. Altogether, this means Dino makes 200 + 200 + 600 = 1000 dollars a month. You subtract Dino's expenses of 500 from this amount, meaning he has 1000 - 500 = 500 dollars at the end of the month. The answer is 500.
Question: Gilbert grows herbs in his yard to use in his cooking. At the beginning of the spring, he planted three basil bushes, a parsley plant, and two kinds of mint. Halfway through spring, one of the basil plants dropped seeds from a flower and made an extra basil plant grow. However, a rabbit came by the garden near the end of spring and ate all the mint. How many herb plants did Gilbert have when spring ended?
Answer: Gilbert planted 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 herb plants. He gained a basil plant when one of the basil plants seeded a new plant, so he had 6 + 1 = 7 plants. The rabbit ate both mint plants, so Gilbert had 7 - 2 = 5 herb plants when spring ended. The answer is 5.
[Question]Frank is practicing a new dance move. It starts with him take 5 steps back, and then 10 steps forward, and then 2 steps back, and then double that amount forward. How many steps forward is Frank from his original starting point?
[Answer]Frank stars by taking 10 steps forward from a position 5 steps behind where he started, so he's 10 - 5 = 5 steps forward in total. Frank then takes 2 steps back, meaning he's now 5 - 2 = 3 steps forward in total from where he began. He then takes double the previous amount of 2 steps forward, so he takes 2 * 2 = 4 steps forward. Since Frank was 3 steps forward before that, that means Frank finishes 3 + 4 = 7 steps forward. The answer is 7.
Q: Alex has not washed his clothes for a month; 18 shirts, 12 pants, 17 sweaters, and 13 jeans are waiting to be washed. Alex's washing machine can wash a maximum of 15 items per cycle. Each cycle takes 45 minutes. How many hours will it take the washing machine to wash all the clothes?
A: Alex will wash 18 + 12 + 17 + 13 = 60 items. With 20 items per wash cycle, Alex will wash the clothes in 60 / 15 = 4 cycles. With 45 minutes per cycle, the washing machine will take 45 * 4 = 180 minutes to wash the clothes. As 1 hour has 60 minutes, the washing machine will take 180 / 60 = 3 hours to wash the clothes. The answer is 3.
Question: Ryan started with 36 tokens at the arcade. Ryan wasted a third of his tokens on Pac-Man, a fourth of his tokens on Candy Crush, and 7 on Ski-ball. Then, his parents bought him seven times as many tokens as he spent on Ski-ball. How many tokens did Ryan end up with?
Answer:
Ryan used 36 / 3 = 12 tokens on Pac - Man. Ryan used 36 / 4 = 9 tokens on Candy Crush. Ryan used a total of 12 + 9 + 7 = 28 tokens on all three games. Ryan had 36 - 28 = 8 tokens left. Ryan’s parents bought him 2 * 7 = 14 more tokens. Ryan had 8 + 14 = 22 tokens after his parents bought him some. The answer is 22.
