Question: There were a total of 50 guests in a movie screening of which half of the guests are women, 15 are men, and the rest are children. In the middle of the movie, 1/5 of the men and 4 children left. How many people stayed?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Being women half of the guests, there were 50 / 2 = 25 women in the movie screening. Adding the 15 men to the number of women guests, there were 25 + 15 = 40 men and women. From a total of 50 guests, 50 - 40 = 10 were children. Knowing 1 / 5 of the men left, 15 / 5 = 3 men left. Thus, 3 men + 4 children = 7 people left in all. Therefore, 50 - 7 = 43 people stayed.
So the answer is 43.

Question: A watermelon stand sold 46 watermelons. Seventeen customers bought one melon, three customers bought three melons, and the rest bought two melons. How many customers bought two watermelons?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The customers that bought one watermelon bought 1 * 17 = 17 melons. The customers that bought three melons bought 3 * 3 = 9 melons. The stand sold 46 - 17 - 9 = 20 melons to customers who bought 2 melons. Thus, 20 / 2 = 10 customers bought two watermelons.
So the answer is 10.

Question: Mrs. Gable’s third grade class is on a field trip to the beach. For lunch, Mrs. Gable brought 20 lunches for the 20 students in her class. She included a pack of animal crackers in each lunch bag for dessert. Each pack of animal crackers contained 10 animal crackers.

So the answer is 180.
