Question: In a school garden, there are flowers in different colors. In total there are 96 flowers of four colors: green, red, blue, and yellow. There are 9 green flowers and three times more red flowers. Blue flowers make up to 50% of the total flower count. How many yellow flowers are there?
Answer: There are 3 * 9 = 27 red flowers. 50 / 100 * 96 = 48 flowers are blue. Knowing that, there are 96 - 48 - 27 - 9 = 12 yellow flowers in a school's garden. The answer is 12.
[Question]Patricia and Geoffrey went fishing to feed their group of campers. They caught an eight-pound trout, six two-pound bass, and two twelve-pound salmon. If each person will eat two pounds of fish, how many campers can they feed?
[Answer]The bass weigh 6 * 2 = 12 pounds in all. The salmon weigh 2 * 12 = 24 pounds in all. The trout, bass, and salmon together weigh 8 + 12 + 24 = 44 pounds. Each camper will eat 2 pounds of fish, so Patricia and Jeffrey can feed 44 / 2 = 22 campers. The answer is 22.
Q: Baking in batches of 65 cupcakes, Carla made 45 batches of cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party. She then took 5 cupcakes from each batch, and fed them to her dogs. If Carla's daughter had 19 friends and they shared the remaining cupcakes equally among them, including the daughter, calculate the number of cupcakes that each of Carla's daughter's friends ate.
A: If Carla sampled 5 cupcakes from each batch and fed them to her dogs, each batch had 65 - 5 = 60 cupcakes afterwards. Since Carla made 45 batches of cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party, after removing the 5 cupcakes from each batch, Carla's daughter and her friends received 45 * 60 = 2700 cupcakes. The total number of people at the party is 19 friends + 1 daughter = 20. After sharing the cupcakes equally among them, Carla's daughter and her friends each received 2700 / 20 = 135 cupcakes. The answer is 135.
Question: Today Geoff bought 2 pairs of sneakers and spent $60 equally between the two. Tomorrow, he's going to spend 4 times as much on sneakers than he did on Monday. Wednesday, he'll spend 5 times as much on sneakers than he did on Monday. How much will Geoff spend on sneakers over these three days?
Answer: Tomorrow Geoff will spend 60 * 4 = 240 dollars. Wednesday Geoff will spend 60 * 5 = 300 dollars. Total spent in three days is 60 + 240 + 300 = 600 dollars. The answer is 600.
[Question]At a recent fishing tournament, Alex caught 7 times as many fish as Jacob. Jacob did not think that he had any chance of winning, but Alex became overconfident and knocked over his bucket of fish, losing 23 fish back to the lake. If Jacob had 8 fish at the beginning, how many more fish does he need to catch to beat Alex by just 1 fish?
[Answer]At the beginning, Jacob had 8 fish. Alex had 7 * 8 = 56 fish. After knocking the bucket over, Alex was left with 56 - 23 = 33 fish left. The final amount caught by Jacob to beat Alex by 1 fish is 33 + 1 = 34 fish. Then Jacob needs to catch 34 - 8 = 26 fish more. The answer is 26.
