[Question]42 raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries were picked in total. If half of all the berries had been raspberries, and a third of the berries were blackberries, how many of them were blueberries?
[Answer]42 / 2 = 21 raspberries had been picked. 42 / 3 = 14 blackberries had been picked. 21 + 14 = 35 raspberries and blackberries had been picked. 42 - 35 = 7 blueberries had been picked. The answer is 7.
Q: Ricciana and Margarita joined in their school's long jump event. Ricciana ran and jumped a total of 24 feet - 20 feet for running and 4 feet for jumping. Margarita ran for 18 feet and jumped 1 foot less than twice Ricciana's jump. How much farther did Margarita run and jump than Ricciana?
A: Twice the distance of Ricciana's jump is 4 x 2 = 8 feet. So, Margarita jumped 8 - 1 = 7 feet. Margarita ran and jumped for 18 + 7 = 25 feet in all. So, Margarita ran and jumped 25 - 24 = 1 foott more than Ricciana. The answer is 1.

Q: Chad saves 40% of the money he earns/receives in a year. This year, he made $600 mowing yards and received $250.00 for his birthday/holidays. He also made $150.00 by selling some old video games and another $150.00 doing odd jobs. How much will he save?
A: He made $600.00 mowing yards, $250.00 for his birthday, $150.00 selling items and $150.00 doing odd jobs so he made 600 + 250 + 150 + 150 = $1,150.00. He made $1,150.00 and will save 40% so he saves 1150 * .40 = $460.00. The answer is 460.
Question: A garden is filled with 105 flowers of various colors. There are twice as many red flowers as orange. There are five fewer yellow flowers than red. If there are 10 orange flowers, how many pink and purple flowers are there if they have the same amount and there are no other colors?
Answer:
The number of red flowers is twice as many as orange so 2 * 10 orange = 20 red flowers. The number of yellow flowers is 5 less than red so 20 red - 5 = 15 yellow flowers. The number of red, orange and yellow flowers is 20 red + 10 orange + 15 yellow = 45 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers total is 105 flowers total - 45 flowers that are not pink or purple = 60 flowers. The number of pink and purple flowers each is 60 flowers / 2 = 30 flowers each. The answer is 30.
