Question: For a class fundraiser, 30 students were asked to bring in 12 brownies each. 20 students were asked to bring in 24 cookies each and 15 students were asked to bring in 12 donuts each. If they sell everything for $2.00 each, how much money will they raise?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: 30 students were asked to bring in 12 brownies so they will bring in 30 * 12 = 360 brownies. 20 students were asked to bring in 24 cookies each so that’s 20 * 24 = 480 cookies. 15 students were asked to bring in 12 donuts each so that’s 15 * 12 = 180 donuts. Together, they have 360 + 480 + 180 = 1,020 treats. If they sell all the treats for $2.00 each then they will make 1020 * 2 = $2,040.00.
So the answer is 2040.

Question: A normal lemon tree produces 60 lemons per year. Jim has specially engineered lemon trees that produce 50% more lemons per year. He has a grove that is 50 trees by 30 trees. How many lemons does he produce in 5 years?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Each tree produces 60 * .5 = 30 more lemons than normal. So they each produce 60 + 30 = 90 lemons. He has 50 * 30 = 1500 trees. So every year he produces 1500 * 90 = 135000 lemons. That means he produces 135000 * 5 = 675,000.
So the answer is 675000.

Question: There are 30 major league baseball stadiums. Zach has a goal to take his son to see at least one game at each one. He has calculated the average cost for them to travel and see a game will be $900 per stadium. Zach can save $1,500 per year for his baseball stadium trips. How many years will it take Zach to accomplish his goal?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The total cost would be $900 x 30 stadiums = $27,000. Dividing the total cost by the amount Zach saves per year, we get $27,000 / $1,500 / year = 18 years.
So the answer is 18.

Question: Clara is climbing to the top of a historical tower with stone stairs. Each level has eight huge steps in the stairs. Every step is made up of three massive blocks of stone. By the time she reaches the top, she has climbed past 96 blocks of stone. How many levels are there in the tower?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Clara climbed past 96 / 3 = 32 steps made up of 3 blocks of stone each. At 8 steps per level, there are 32 / 8 = 4 levels in the tower.
So the answer is 4.
