Q: Marie has 4 notebooks with 20 stamps each. She also has two binders with 50 stamps each. If she decides to only keep 1/4 of the stamps, how many stamps can she give away?
A: Marie has 4 x 20 = 80 stamps from her notebooks. And she has 2 x 50 = 100 stamps from her binders. So she has a total of 80 + 100 = 180 stamps. Marie decided to keep 180 x 1 / 4 = 45 stamps only. Therefore, she can give away 180 - 45 = 135 stamps. The answer is 135.
Question: Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison does. With 60 lollipops, Alisson has half the number of lollipops Diane has. If they combine the lollipops and eat 45 lollipops each day, calculate the total number of days it will take for them to finish the lollipops.
Answer: Since Henry has 30 more lollipops than Alison, he has 60 + 30 = 90 lollipops. Together, Alison and Henry have 90 + 60 = 150 lollipops. Alison has half the number of lollipops that Diane has, meaning Diane has 2 * 60 = 120 lollipops. Altogether, the three have 120 + 150 = 270 lollipops. Since they eat 45 lollipops each day, they'll take 270 / 45 = 6 days to finish all the lollipops. The answer is 6.
[Question]Don buys recyclable bottles in a small town. Shop A normally sells him 150 bottles, shop B sells him 180 bottles and Shop C sells him the rest. How many bottles does Don buy from Shop C if he is capable of buying only 550 bottles?
[Answer]Between Shop A and Shop B he buys 150 bottles + 180 bottles = 330 bottles. Thus he can buy 550 bottles - 330 bottles = 220 bottles from shop C. The answer is 220.
Q: On Friday, Hank opened his used-bicycle store with a stock of bicycles, all fixed-up and ready to ride. Over the course of the day, he sold 10 bicycles and bought an additional 15 to fix up. On Saturday, he sold 12 bicycles and bought 8 more. And on Sunday, he sold 9 bicycles and bought 11 more. What was the net increase in the number of bicycles in stock in Hank's store over the three days?
A: He sold 10 + 12 + 9 = 31 bicycles. He bought 15 + 8 + 11 = 34 bicycles. He now has 34 - 31 = 3 more than at Friday's opening. The answer is 3.
Question: Jeff committed to run for an hour a day during weekdays. On Thursday, he cut short his run by 20 minutes but was able to jog 10 minutes more on Friday. How many minutes was he able to run for that week?
Answer: Jeff was able to run a total of 60 x 3 = 180 minutes from Monday to Wednesday. On Thursday, Jeff ran for 60 - 20 = 40 minutes only. On Friday, he ran for 60 + 10 = 70 minutes. Therefore, Jeff ran a total of 180 + 40 + 70 = 290 minutes. The answer is 290.
