[Question]Carla had 400 chickens on her chicken farm. However, 40% of the chicken died due to a certain disease. How many chickens were there if she bought ten times as many chickens as the number that died due to disease?
[Answer]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 is 1840.

Q: Greta received 10 more letters in the mail than her brother. Greta's mother received twice the total number of letters Greta and her brother received. Calculate the total number of letters the three received if Greta's brother received 40 letters.
A: Since Greta's brother received 40 letters, Greta received 40 + 10 = 50 letters. Together, Greta and her brother received 50 + 40 = 90 letters. Greta's mother received twice the total number of letters Greta and her brother received, which totals 90 * 2 = 180 letters. In total, the three received 90 + 180 = 270 letters. The answer is 270.
Question: Frank and his friends Betty and Bill went to their farm and picked oranges to eat. Betty picked 15 oranges and Bill picked 12 oranges. Frank picked three times the number that Betty and Bill picked combined. Frank then planted 2 seeds from each of his oranges into the ground and waited 20 years for each seed to turn into a beautiful orange tree. If each orange tree contains 5 oranges for Frank's son Philip to pick, how many oranges are there for Philip to pick in total?
Answer:
Together, Betty and Bill picked 15 + 12 = 27 oranges. Frank picked 3 * 27 = 81 oranges. Frank planted 2 * 81 = 162 seeds in total, so there are 162 orange trees 20 years later. Philip can then pick 162 * 5 = 810 oranges. The answer is 810.
