Q: Peggy fell off her bike and skinned her knees. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee. If the box of bandages had 8 less than two dozen bandages before Peggy skinned her knees, how many bandages were left in the box after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees?
A: Two dozen is 12 * 2 = 24. Eight less than two dozen bandages is 24 - 8 = 16 bandages. She needed two bandages on her left knee and three bandages on her right knee for a total of 2 + 3 = 5 bandages. Therefore, after Peggy finished putting bandages on her knees there were 16 - 5 = 11 bandages remaining in the box. The answer is 11.
Question: A farm has 5 less than 9 times the amount of hens as roosters. If there are 75 total chickens, how many hens are there?
Answer: Let x represent the number of roosters. Number of hens:9x - 5. Total:9x - 5 + x = 75. 10x - 5 = 75. 10x = 80. x = 8. Number of hens: 9(8) - 5 = 67. The answer is 67.
[Question]George and Amelia are picking oranges and apples at an orchard. George picks 45 oranges and 5 more apples than Amelia. Amelia picks 18 fewer oranges than George and 15 apples. How many fruits do they pick altogether?
[Answer]Amelia picks 45 - 18 = 27 oranges. The total number of oranges that they pick is 45 + 27 = 72. George picks 15 + 5 = 20 apples. The total number of apples that they pick is 20 + 15 = 35. So, they pick 72 + 35 = 107 fruits altogether. The answer is 107.
Q: Five food companies sponsored a local food bank. Foster Farms donated 45 dressed chickens; American Summits donated twice the number of bottled water than the number of dressed chicken donated by Foster Farms; Hormel donated three times the number of dressed chickens that Foster Farms donated; Boudin Butchers donated one-third of the number of dressed chickens that Hormel donated; Del Monte Foods donated 30 fewer bottles of water than American Summits. How many food items did the companies donate in total?
A: American Summits donated 45 x 2 = 90 bottled waters. Hormel donated 45 x 3 = 135 spams. Boudin Bakery donated 135 x 1 / 3 = 45 sourdoughs. Del Monte Foods donated 90 - 30 = 60 canned fruits. Therefore, a total of 45 + 90 + 135 + 45 + 60 = 375 different food. The answer is 375.
Question: A chef has served 58 adults, 35 fewer children than the number of adults, and twice as many seniors as children. What is the total number of guests served?
Answer: The chef has served 58 - 35 = 23 children. The chef has served 23 x 2 = 46 seniors. Therefore, the total number of guests that the chef has served is 58 + 23 + 46 = 127. The answer is 127.
Q: Phillip's mother asked him to go to the supermarket to buy some things and gave him $95, so he spent $14 on oranges, $25 on apples and $6 on candy. How much money does he have left?
A:
If we add everything Phillip bought, we will have: $14 + $25 + $6 = $45. He spent $45, and we know that he had $95 dollars, so now we have to subtract: $95 - $45 = $50. The answer is 50.
