[Question]Juliet is 3 years older than her sister Maggie but 2 years younger than her elder brother Ralph. If Juliet is 10 years old, what is the sum of Maggie's and Ralph's ages?
[Answer]Maggie is 3 years younger than Juliet who is 10 years so she is 10 - 3 = 7 years old. Ralph is 2 years older than Maggie so he is 10 + 2 = 12 years old. The sum of Maggie's and Ralph's ages is 7 + 12 = 19 years. The answer is 19.
Q: Every tree that Bart cuts down gives him 75 pieces of firewood. If he burns 5 logs a day from November 1 through February 28, how many trees will he need to cut down?
A: November has 30 days, December has 31 days, January has 31 days and February has 28 days for a total of 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 = 120 days. He burns 5 pieces of wood every day so 120 * 5 = 600 pieces of wood. Every tree he cuts down supplies 75 pieces of firewood and he will burn 600 pieces so he needs 600 / 75 = 8 trees. The answer is 8.
Question: A large puzzle costs $15. A small puzzle and a large puzzle together cost $23. How much would you pay for 1 large and 3 small puzzles?

[Question]Solomon bought a dining table at a 10% discount and paid the sale price of $450. What was the original price of the dining table?
[Answer]Since there was a 10% discount, this means that Solomon only paid 100% - 10% = 90% of the original price. The 90% is represented by $450, so 1% is equal to $450 / 90 = $5. Therefore, the original price of the dining table is $5 x 100 = $500. The answer is 500.
Q: Pablo’s mother agrees to pay him one cent for every page he reads. He plans to save the money for some candy. Pablo always checks out books that are exactly 150 pages. After reading his books, he went to the store and bought $15 worth of candy and had $3 leftover. How many books did Pablo read?
A: He gets $1.5 per book because .01 x 150 = 1.5. He earned $18 because 15 + 3 = 18. He read 12 books because 18 / 1.5 = 12. The answer is 12.
Question: Stacy just bought a 6 month prescription of flea & tick medicine for her dog for $150.00 online. Her cashback app was offering 10% cashback and she has a mail-in rebate for $25.00 on a 6-month prescription. How much will the medicine cost after cash back and rebate offers?
Answer:
Her cash back app gave her 10% back on $150.00 so that's .10 * 150 = $15.00 cash back. She received $15.00 from the cashback app and has a $25.00 mail - in rebate for a total of 15 + 25 = $40.00 discounts. She spent $150.00 for the medicine and has $40.00 worth of discounts so the medicine will cost 150 - 40 = $110.00. The answer is 110.
