[Question]Zain has 10 more of each coin than Emerie. If Emerie has six quarters, seven dimes, and five nickels, how many coins does Zain have?
[Answer]If Emerie has six quarters, Zain has 6 + 10 = 16 quarters. At the same time, Zain has 7 + 10 = 17 dimes, ten more than Emerie. The total number of quarters and dimes Zain has is 17 + 16 = 33 coins. Zain also has 10 more nickels than Emerie, a total of 10 + 5 = 15 nickels. In total, Zain has 33 + 15 = 48 coins. The answer is 48.

Question: Thomas has been saving $40 in the bank every month for six years. His friend Joseph has been saving 2/5 times less money per month. How much money are they having in their savings account altogether?
Answer: Thomas has been saving for six years, and since each year has 12 months, he has been making savings for 6 * 12 = 72 months. Since Thomas has been saving $40 in the bank every month for six years, he has saved 72 * $40 = $2880. Joseph has been saving 2 / 5 times less money per month than Thomas, meaning he has been saving 2 / 5 * $40 = $16 less per month. The total amount of money that Joseph has been saving per month is $40 - $16 = $24. In six years, Joseph has saved $24 * 72 = $1728. Together, they have saved a total of $2880 + $1728 = $4608. The answer is 4608.
[Question]Jerome bought 5 new toy cars last month. This month he bought twice as many so that he has 40 toy cars now. How many toy cars did Jerome have originally?
[Answer]Jerome bought 5 x 2 = 10 toy cars this month. So he bought a total of 5 + 10 = 15 toy cars. Therefore, Jerome had 40 - 15 = 25 toy cars originally. The answer is 25.
Q: Erin runs her own launderette and needs to cash in the change from the machines. There are 80 quarters and 100 dimes in every machine in the launderette. When Erin empties all of the machines and cashes in the change, she has a total of $90. She had no money before she emptied the machines and each machine held the same amount of money. How many machines are in the launderette?
A: There are 4 quarters in a dollar so in quarters, each machine holds 80 quarters / 4 = $20. There are 10 dimes in a dollar so in dimes, each machine holds 100 dimes / 10 = $10. Each machine therefore holds $20 in quarters + $10 in dimes = $30. So Erin must therefore have $90 total income / $30 income per machine = 3 machines. The answer is 3.
Question: There were 15 males and 10 more girls at the party. Each attendee received 2 cans of soft drinks. If Mary bought several boxes of soft drinks where a box contains 8 cans and is priced at $5 for each box, how much did Mary spend on soft drinks?
Answer:
There were 10 + 15 = 25 girls in the party. So, there were a total of 15 + 25 = 40 attendees. 40 x 2 = 80 cans of soft drinks are needed. So, Mary bought 80 / 8 = 10 boxes of soft drinks. Therefore, Mary spent 10 x $5 = $50 on soft drinks. The answer is 50.
