Question: A herring has 40 oz of fat, an eel 20 oz, and a pike 10 more oz of fat than an eel. If Ellianna cooked and served 40 fish of each type, calculate how many ounces of fat she served.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Ellianna cooking 40 herrings with 40 oz of fat each gives her 40 * 40 = 1600 oz of fat. If Ellianna also cooked 40 eels with 20 oz of fat each, she got 40 * 20 = 800 0z of fat. All the herrings and eels together have a total fat content of 1600 + 800 = 2400 oz of fat. A pike, with 10 more oz of fat than an eel, has 10 + 20 = 30 oz of fat. Cooking 40 pikes gives 40 * 30 = 1200 oz of fat. Since Ellianna cooked all the fish, she had 1200 + 2400 = 3600 oz of fat in her serving.
So the answer is 3600.

Question: A pickup truck can fill 20 eight gallon water cans (each can filled three quarters of its capacity) in three hours. If each can is filled to full capacity instead, how long, in hours, will it take to fill 25 cans?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Each can is filled with 8 / 4 * 3 = 6 gallons of water. A total of 6 * 20 = 120 gallons of water is filled in 3 hours. In 1 hour, 120 / 3 = 40 gallons of water is filled. 25 full cans can hold 25 * 8 = 200 gallons of water. It will take 200 / 40 = 5 hours to fill 25 cans to full capacity.
So the answer is 5.

Question: Fran's school just instituted a school uniform policy. Each student needs to buy five complete uniforms, each consisting of pants, shirt, tie and socks. The pants cost $20, the shirt costs twice as much as the pants, the tie costs 1/5 as much as the shirt and the socks cost $3/pair. How many dollars will each student need to spend?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total cost of the shirt: $20 * 2 = $40. Then find the total cost of the tie: $40 / 5 = $8. Then find the cost of one uniform set: $20 + $40 + $8 + $3 = $71. Then multiply the cost of each set by the number of sets each student has to buy to find the total cost: $71 / set * 5 sets = $355.
So the answer is 355.

Question: Mr. Smith takes his wife, his parents, and his 3 children to a seafood buffet. The price for the adult buffet is $30. The price for the children’s buffet is $15. Senior citizens get a 10% discount. How much does Mr. Smith spend on the buffet for his entire family?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The buffet cost for Mr. Smith and his wife is $30 x 2 = $60. The buffet cost for his children is $15 x 3 = $45. The buffet cost for 1 senior citizen is $30 x 90% = $27. B. uffet cost for the grandparents is $27 x 2 = $54. Buffet cost for the entire family is $60 + $45 + $54 = $159.
So the answer is 159.
