Question: Anna has a certain number of phone chargers and five times more laptop chargers than phone chargers. If she has 24 chargers total, how many phone chargers does she have?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Let p be the number of phone chargers Anna has and l be the number of laptop chargers. We know that l = 5p and l + p = 24. Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 5p + p = 24. Combining like terms, we get 6p = 24. Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get p = 4.
So the answer is 4.

Question: Jefferson hires a carriage to go to the church. It is 20 miles away. The horse can go 10 miles per hour. It cost $30 per hour plus a flat fee of $20. How much did he pay for the carriage?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He paid for 20 / 10 = 2 hours. That means the hourly fee was 30 * 2 = $60. So the total cost was 60 + 20 = $80.
So the answer is 80.

Question: Mrs. Amaro has 80 roses in her garden. Three-fourths of her roses are red, one-fourth of the remaining are yellow, and the rest are white. How many of Mrs. Amaro's roses are either red or white?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Mrs. Amaro has 80 x 3 / 4 = 60 red roses. So, 80 - 60 = 20 roses are not red. Then, 20 x 1 / 4 = 5 of those 20 non - red roses are yellow. Hence, 20 - 5 = 15 roses are white. Therefore, 60 + 15 = 75 roses are either red or white.
So the answer is 75.

Question: James turned 23 the same time John turned 35. Tim is 5 years less than twice John's age. If Tim is 79 how old is James?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: James is 35 - 23 = 12 years younger than John. 5 years less than Tim's age is 79 - 5 = 74 years old. So John is 74 / 2 = 37 years old. That means James is 37 - 12 = 25 years old.
So the answer is 25.
