Consider the Q and A. Q: Alex was having a cookout Friday night and planned to serve burgers to his guests. He planned to cook 3 burgers for each guest and had invited 10 friends over. 1 of his friends didn't eat meat and said they would bring their own food. Another one of his friends didn't eat bread and would not need the buns. The burger buns came 8 to a pack. How many packs of buns did Alex need to buy?
A: 3
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He invited 10 friends but he didn't need to cook for 1 of his friends so that left 10 - 1 = 9 friends to cook for. He was cooking 3 burgers per 9 guests so 3 * 9 = 27 burgers. He needed 27 burger buns but 1 guest wouldn't eat the buns so now he needs 27 - 3 = 24. He will need to buy 24 buns and they come 8 to a pack so he needs 24 / 8 = 3 packs of buns.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Tom and his friends were filling up water balloons. Tom filled up 3 times as many water balloons as Luke. Luke filled up one fourth as many balloons as Anthony. If Anthony filled up 44 water balloons, how many did Tom fill up?
A: 33
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Luke filled up 44 / 4 = 11 water balloons. Tom filled up 11 * 3 = 33 water balloons.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Mark collects money for the homeless. He visits 20 households a day for 5 days and half of those households give him a pair of 20s. How much did he collect?
A: 2000
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He got money from 20 / 2 = 10 households per day. So that means he got money from 10 * 5 = 50 households. Each of those houses gave 20 * 2 = $40. So he raised 40 * 50 = $2000.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Fern is checking IDs to get into an R-rated movie. She denied 20% of the 120 kids from Riverside High, 70% of the 90 kids from West Side High, and half the 50 kids from Mountaintop High. How many kids got into the movie?
A: 148
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
First find how many kids from Riverside High are rejected: 20% * 120 kids = 24 kids. Then find how many kids from West Side High are rejected: 70% * 90 kids = 63 kids. Then find how many kids from Mountaintop High are rejected: 50 kids / 2 = 25 kids. Then add the number of kids from each school to find the total number of kids: 120 kids + 90 kids + 50 kids = 260 kids. Then subtract all the kids who were rejected from the total number of kids to find the number who got in: 260 kids - 24 kids - 63 kids - 25 kids = 148 kids.
