Question: Jimmy is a pizza delivery man. Each pizza costs 12 dollars and the delivery charge is 2 extra dollars if the area is farther than 1 km from the pizzeria. Jimmy delivers 3 pizzas in the park, which is located 100 meters away from the pizzeria. Also, he delivers 2 pizzas in a building 2 km away from the pizzeria. How much money did Jimmy get paid for the pizzas?
Answer: Adding the pizzas delivered in the park and in the building, Jimmy delivered a total of 2 + 3 = 5 pizzas. The value of the 5 pizzas without delivery charge is 5 pizzas * $12 / pizza = $60. The cost of the delivery charge for two pizzas is 2 pizzas * $2 / pizza = $4. In total, Jimmy got paid $60 + $4 = $64 for the pizzas. The answer is 64.

Q: At the Johnson family reunion, there were 45 children and one third as many adults. One third of the adults wore blue. How many adults did not wear blue?
A: One third as many adults as children is 45 / 3 = 15 adults. One third of adults wore blue, or 15 / 3 = 5 adults wore blue. Thus, the remaining 15 - 5 = 10 adults did not wear blue. The answer is 10.
Question: Big Lots is having a sale. All chairs are 25% off. If you buy more than 5 chairs, you get an additional 1/3 off the discounted price of the number of chairs over 5. If you bought 8 chairs that were normally priced at $20, how much do the chairs cost in total?
Answer: You save $5 per chair with the 25% off sale. On sale chairs cost $15 each because 20 - 5 = 15. You bought 3 chairs above the 5 required before the extra savings starts because 8 - 5 = 3. You save an extra $5 on these chairs because 15 x (1 / 3) = 5. The first five chairs cost $75 in total because 5 x 15 = 75. The final three chairs cost $30 in total because 3 x 10 = 30. In total they cost $105 because 75 + 30 = 105. The answer is 105.
[Question]Yesterday, the newly opened animal shelter received their first 60 animals. They got 20 more cats than dogs. How many cats did they take in?
[Answer]Let c be the number of cats and let d be the number of dogs. We know that c = 20 + d and that the total number of animals is c + d = 60. Replacing c gives 20 + d + d = 60 animals. Combining like terms and subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 2d = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get d = 40 / 2 = 20. The shelter therefore received 20 + 20 = 40 cats. The answer is 40.
[Question]Balki is counting the number of raisins in boxes of cereal. He counted 437 total raisins in 5 boxes. In one box he counted 72 raisins. In a second box he counted 74 raisins. The other three boxes had the same number each. How many were in each of the other three boxes?
[Answer]
Let x = the number of raisins in each of the other 3 boxes. Then 72 + 74 + 3x = 437 raisins. Combining like terms we get 146 + 3x = 437 raisins. Subtracting 146 from both sides we get 3x = 291 raisins. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 291 / 3 = 97 raisins. The answer is 97.
