Question: Teddy has 7 dogs and 8 cats. Ben has 9 more dogs than Teddy, and Dave has 13 more cats and 5 less dogs than Teddy. How many pets do all of them have combined?
Answer: Teddy has 7 + 8 = 15 pets in total. Ben has 9 + 7 = 16 dogs, which means he has 16 pets in total. Dave has 13 + 8 = 21 cats. Dave has 7 - 5 = 2 dogs. Dave has 21 + 2 = 23 pets in total. Combined, they have 15 + 16 + 23 = 54 pets in total. The answer is 54.
[Question]Calvin has been saving his hair clippings after each haircut to make a wig for his dog. He has gotten 8 haircuts and knows that he needs 2 more to reach his goal. What percentage towards his goal is he?

Q: A young girl pours 23 blue beads and 16 yellow beads into a bowl. She divides the total into 3 equal parts, removes some beads from each part, and doubles the rest to have 6 beads in each part now. How many beads were removed from each part?
A: There are 23 + 16 = 39 beads in the bowl. Dividing them into 3 equal parts give 39 / 3 = 13 beads each. Before doubling the number of beads, she had 6 / 2 = 3 beads left in each part. Therefore she had removed 13 - 3 = 10 beads from each part. The answer is 10.
Question: Emily wants to know how much it rained last week. She sees that it rained 2 inches on Monday morning and 1 more inch later that day. It rained twice that much on Tuesday. It did not rain on Wednesday but on Thursday it rained 1 inch. The biggest storm was on Friday when the total was equal to Monday through Thursday combined. What was the daily average rain total for the week?
Answer: The total rain was 2 inches + 1 inches = 3 inches on Monday. The total rain was 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches on Tuesday. The total rain was 0 inches + 1 inch = 1 inch across Wednesday and Thursday. The total rain was 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch = 10 inches on Friday. There were 3 inches + 6 inches + 1 inch + 10 inches = 20 inches total last week. 20 inches / 5 days = 4 inches average daily rain. The answer is 4.
[Question]Bill picked 50 apples from the orchard with his wife and two children. He sends each of his kids to school with 3 apples for their two favorite teachers. His wife Jill bakes two apple pies, using 10 apples per pie. How many apples does Bill have left?
[Answer]Bill gives each of his children 3 apples, so since he has two children this is 3 * 2 = 6 apples. Jill bakes 2 apple pies, using 10 apples each so this means she uses 10 * 2 = 20 apples. In total, this means 20 + 6 = 26 apples were used. Since Bill began with 50 apples, this means there are 50 - 26 = 24 apples remaining. The answer is 24.
[Question]A play was held in an auditorium and its ticket costs $10. An auditorium has 20 rows and each row has 10 seats. If only 3/4 of the seats were sold, how much was earned from the play?

There are 20 x 10 = 200 seats in the auditorium. Only 200 x 3 / 4 = 150 seats were sold. Hence, the earnings from the play is $10 x 150 = $1500. The answer is 1500.
