Pauly is making omelets for his family. There are three dozen eggs, and he plans to use them all. Each omelet requires 4 eggs. Including himself, there are 3 people. How many omelets does each person get? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. He has 36 eggs because 3 x 12 = 36. He can make 9 omelets because 36 / 4 = 9. Each person gets 3 omelets because 9 / 3 = 3.. The answer is: 3.

Thirty students run in a charity race to raise money for the hurricane victims. Ten of the students raised $20 each. The rest of the students raised $30 each. How much did the students raise in all? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Ten students raised a total of $20 x 10 = $200. There are 30 - 10 = 20 students who raised $30 each. Twenty students raised a total of $30 x 20 = $600. Therefore, the students raised a total of $200 + $600 = $800.. The answer is: 800.

James and Ali together own $250. If you know that James owns $40 more than Ali, then calculate the amount owned by James. Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Let X be the amount owned by James. The amount owned by Ali is X - $40. The total amount owned by both of them X + (X - $40) = $250. Combining like terms, we get X * 2 - $40 = $250. Adding $40 to both sides, we get X * 2 = $290. Dividing both sides by 2, we get X = $145.. The answer is: 145.
