[Question]The local school is holding a big fair to raise money for 5 classes that want to go on a trip. 150 people came to the party and paid a total of $368 for entrance tickets. There was a raffle which brought in $343. The sale of cakes and drinks brought $279. At the end of the fair, the principal of the school shared the money raised between the 5 classes. How much money did each class receive?
[Answer]First, let’s calculate the total amount of money collected, which is 368 + 343 + 279 = $990. Let us now share this sum between the 5 classes: 990 / 5 = $198. The answer is 198.
Q: One dandelion seed floated onto Mrs. Middleton's lawn, landed on good soil, and began to grow. After one month, the dandelion plant had grown to full size and developed a flower. At the end of the second month, the flower turned to 50 fluffy, white seeds, which blew onto the lawn. Only half of these seeds landed onto good soil, germinated, and began to grow, just as the first seed had done. If each of these new seedling plants produces the same number of seeds in the same amount of time as the original plant, what is the total number of seeds that these newest plants will produce in two months' time?
A: Half of the 50 seeds, or 50 / 2 = 25 seeds germinated and grew. If each of the 25 plants produces 50 seeds, then a total of 25 * 50 = 1250 seeds would be produced. The answer is 1250.
Question: In a week, Mortdecai collects 8 dozen eggs every Tuesday and Thursday, and he delivers 3 dozen eggs to the market and 5 dozen eggs to the mall. He then uses 4 dozen eggs to make a pie every Saturday. Mortdecai donates the remaining eggs to the charity by Sunday. How many eggs does he donate to the charity?
Answer: Mortdecai collects a total of 8x2 = 16 dozens of eggs. He sells a total of 3 + 5 = 8 dozens of eggs. So, 16 - 8 = 8 dozens of eggs are left. After using 4 dozens of eggs to make a pie, 8 - 4 = 4 dozens of eggs are left. Since there are 12 in 1 dozen, then Mortdecai donates 4 x 12 = 48 pieces of eggs to the charity. The answer is 48.
[Question]There are 7 trucks that have 20 boxes. There are 5 trucks that have 12 boxes. Each box holds 8 containers of oil. If all of the oil is evenly redistributed onto 10 trucks, how many containers of oil will each truck have?
[Answer]Boxes of oil = 7 * 20 + 5 * 12 = 200 boxes. Containers of oil = 200 boxes * 8 containers = 1600 containers of oil. 1600 / 10 = 160. Each truck will carry 160 containers of oil. The answer is 160.
Q: Olivia and Nigel are traveling in Asia.  Olivia has $112 and Nigel has $139. If together they buy six one day passes to a tourist attraction for $28 per ticket, how much money do they have left?
A: They have 112 + 139 = $251. The passes cost 6 * 28 = $168. They have 251 - 168 = $83 left. The answer is 83.
Question: Hannah's family has ten pigs on their farm. They also have three fewer than twice as many cows as pigs and six more goats than cows. How many animals do they have on their farm?
Answer:
Twice the number of pigs is 10 x 2 = 20. So, Hannah's family has 20 - 3 = 17 cows. They also have 17 + 6 = 23 goats. So, they have a total of 10 + 17 + 23 = 50 animals on their farm. The answer is 50.
