There are three times as many hogs as cats in King Henry's kingdom. If there are 75 hogs, what's 5 less than 60% of the number of cats in King Henry's kingdom? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. There are three times as many hogs as cats in King Henry's kingdom, meaning there are 75 / 3 = 25 cats. 60% of the number of cats in King Henry's kingdom is 60 / 100 * 25 = 15 cats. 5 less than 60% of the number of cats in King Henry's kingdom is 15 - 5 = 10 cats.. The answer is: 10.

Lucy plans to purchase potato chips for a party. Ten people will be at the party, including Lucy. The potato chips cost 25 cents per pound. How much will Lucy pay (in dollars) for the potato chips if she wants each person to get 1.2 pounds? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Lucy needs to purchase 10 x 1.2 = 12 pounds of potato chips. So, Lucy will pay 12 x 25 = 300 cents for it. Since there are 100 cents in $1, thus, Lucy will pay 300 / 100 = 3 dollars.. The answer is: 3.

James joins a football team and becomes the star. He scores 4 touchdowns per game and each touchdown is worth 6 points. There are 15 games in the season. He also manages to score 2 point conversions 6 times during the season. The old record was 300 points during the season. How many points did James beat the old record by? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. He scored 4 * 6 = 24 points per game. So he scored 15 * 24 = 360 points from touchdowns. He also scored 2 * 6 = 12 points from the 2 point conversions. So he scored a total of 360 + 12 = 372 points. That means he beat the old record by 372 - 300 = 72 points.. The answer is: 72.
