Question: Casey is trying to decide which employee she wants to hire. One employee works for $20 an hour. The other employee works for $22 an hour, but Casey would also get a $6/hour subsidy from the government for hiring a disabled worker. How much money per week would Casey save by hiring the cheaper employee, if they both work 40 hours per week?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the weekly cost of the first employee: $20 / hour * 40 hours / week = $800 / week. Then find the hourly cost of the second employee after the government subsidy: $22 / hour - $6 / hour = $16 / hour. Then find the weekly cost of the second employee: $16 / hour * 40 hours / week = $640 / week. Then subtract the smaller weekly cost from the bigger weekly cost to find the difference: $800 / week - $640 / week = $160 / week.
So the answer is 160.

Question: A bag of jellybeans contains 8 black beans and 2 more green beans. It also contains 1 less orange bean than green beans. How many jellybeans are there in the bag?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 8 + 2 = 10 green beans. There are 10 - 1 = 9 orange beans. There are 8 black + 10 green + 9 orange = 27 jelly beans.
So the answer is 27.

Question: Donna is catering for a party. She makes 20 sandwiches and then cuts them in half, before cutting them in half again. She then gives everyone 8 portions. How many people can she feed?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: First, we need to determine the overall number of portions. To do this, we begin by performing 20 * 2 = 40 portions after the first halving. Next, we take this portion number and double it again, performing 40 * 2 = 80 portions after the second halving. Lastly, we divide this portion number by the number of portions each person will be served, performing 80 / 8 = 10 people served.
So the answer is 10.
