[Question]: At the Sterling Auto Store, they have 500 cars for sale. If they have 10 sales professionals, and each salesperson sells 10 cars per month, how many months will it take for them to sell all of the cars?
[Answer]: If 10 sales professionals each sell 10 cars per month, then they sell a combined 10 * 10 = 100 cars per month. If the store has 500 cars, then it will take the sales team 500 / 100 = 5 months to sell all of the cars.
So the answer is 5.

[Question]: 40 kids are running a race. 10% of them pass the finish line in less than 6 minutes. Three times that number finish in less than 8 minutes. 1/6 of the remaining kids take more than 14 minutes. How many kids take more than 14 minutes?
[Answer]: First find how many kids finish in under 6 minutes: 40 kids * 10% = 4 kids. Then triple that number to find how many finish in less than 8 minutes: 4 kids * 3 = 12 kids. Then subtract those two numbers from the total number of kids to find the number of remaining kids: 40 kids - 4 kids - 12 kids = 24 kids. Then divide that number by 6 to find how many kids take more than 14 minutes: 24 kids / 6 = 4 kids.
So the answer is 4.

[Question]: Hector purchased a container of gumballs. He gave 4 to Todd, then he gave twice as many as he had given Todd to Alisha, and then he gave 5 less than four times as many to Bobby as he had given to Alisha. If Hector had 6 gumballs remaining, what is the total number of gumballs that Hector purchased?
[Answer]:
Hector gave to Alisha twice as many as he had given Todd, for a total of 4 * 2 = 8 gumballs,. Hector gave 5 less than four times as many to Bobby as he had given to Alisha, or a total of (8 * 4) - 5 = 27 gumballs. If Hector had 6 gumballs remaining, he originally purchased 4 + 8 + 27 + 6 = 45 gumballs.
So the answer is 45.
