Answer the following question.
There are 200 more red apples than green apples in a grocery store. A truck arrives and delivers another 340 green apples. If there were originally 32 green apples, how many more green apples than red apples are there in the store now?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 200 + 32 = 232 red apples. After the delivery there are 340 + 32 = 372 green apples. There are now 372 - 232 = 140 more green apples than red apples now.
The answer is 140.

Answer the following question.
Carly is overnight shipping some fresh-baked cookies to her grandma. The shipping cost is equal to a flat $5.00 fee plus $0.80 per pound of weight. If the package weighs 5 pounds, how much does Carly pay for shipping?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First calculate the weight - based charge by multiplying the package's weight in pounds by the price per pound: 5 pounds * $0.80 / pound = $4.00. Then add the weight - based charge to the flat fee to find the total cost: $4.00 + $5.00 = $9.00.
The answer is 9.

Answer the following question.
Three planes are going to the same place but each has a different number of passengers. The first plane has 50, the second had 60, and the third has 40. An empty plane can go 600 MPH, but each passenger makes it go 2 MPH slower. What is their average speed?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first plane goes 100 MPH slower than empty because 50 x 2 = 100. The first plane goes 500 MPH because 600 - 100 = 500. The second plane goes 120 MPH slower because 60 x 2 = 120. The second plane goes 480 because 600 - 120 = 480. The third plane goes 80 MPH slower because 40 x 2 = 80. The third plane goes 520 MPH because 600 - 80 = 520. The total speed is 1500 because 500 + 480 + 520 = 1500. Their average speed is 500 because 1500 / 3 = 500.
The answer is 500.

Answer the following question.
Javier is an Olympic javelin thrower. In the last Olympics, he threw the javelin three times. The first throw, he threw the javelin twice as far as he threw the javelin on his second throw, but only half as far as he threw it the third throw. If the sum of all three throws was 1050 meters, then how far, in meters, did he throw the javelin on his first throw?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Let x be the distance he threw the javelin on the first throw. Thus, the sum of his three throws is x + 0.5x + 2x = 1050 meters. Thus, 3.5x = 1050. And we find the distance he threw the javelin on the first throw is x = 300 meters.
The answer is 300.
