Question: Ben makes a sandwich that has 1250 calories total that has two strips of bacon with 125 calories each. What percentage of the sandwich's total calories come from bacon?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the total number of calories in the bacon: 125 calories + 125 calories = 250 calories. Then divide the number of bacon calories by the total number of calories and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 250 calories / 1250 calories * 100% = 20%.
So the answer is 20.

Question: There are four times as many boys at Lulu's party as girls. Each boy paid twice the money that each girl paid to attend the party. If there are 40 boys at the party and each boy paid $50 to attend the party, calculate the total amount of money collected at the party.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The total amount of money collected from the boy's payment is 40 * $50 = $2000. There are four times as many boys at Lulu's party as girls, meaning there are 40 / 4 = 10 girls at the party. since each boy paid twice the money that each girl paid to attend the party, each girl paid $50 / 2 = $25. The total amount of money collected from the girl's payment is $25 * 10 = $250. The total amount of money collected at the party is $250 + $2000 = $2250.
So the answer is 2250.

Question: Jose threatened to withhold 20% of Amanda's pay if she does not finish her sales report by midnight. If Amanda makes $50.00 an hour and works for 10 hours a day, how much money will she receive if she does not finish the sales report by midnight?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If she works for 10 hours a day at an hourly pay of $50, then her total income in a day is $500. If she doesn't meet the deadline Jose gave her, she'll lose 20 / 100 * $500 = $100. She'll receive $500 - $100 = $400 if Jose cuts out 20% of her pay.
So the answer is 400.

Question: Colbert is building a treehouse out of wooden planks. The treehouse needs 200 wooden planks. A quarter of these planks come from Colbert’s storage, half of these planks come from Colbert’s parents, 20 planks come from Colbert’s friends and he buys the rest from the store. How many planks of wood does he need to buy from the store to finish his treehouse?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: In Colbert’s storage, there are 200 wooden planks / 4 = 50 wooden planks. From his parents, there are 200 wooden planks / 2 = 100 wooden planks. So in total, Colbert has not had to buy 50 wooden planks from storage + 100 wooden planks from his parents + 20 wooden planks from his friends = 170 wooden planks. He therefore still needs to buy 200 needed wooden planks – 170 owned wooden planks = 30 wooden planks.
So the answer is 30.
