Question: Sweet Hope hosts a casino with 3 roulette tables labeled A, B, and C. At 6:00 pm, Table B had twice as much money on it as table C, which had $20 more than table A. If there was $40 on table A, how much money was there on all the tables?
Answer: If table C had $20 more than table A, then table C had $20 + $40 = $60. Roulette tables A and C had $60 + $40 = $100. Table B had twice as much money on it as table C, meaning table B had $60 * 2 = $120. Together, the three roulette tables had $120 + $100 = $220. The answer is 220.
[Question]An organization trying to save endangered species of turtles has taken twice more hawksbill turtles than the number of green turtles into a conservation center. If the number of green turtles is 800, calculate the number of turtles that have been taken into the conservation center.
[Answer]If the number of hawksbill turtles is twice more than the number of green turtles, then there are 2 * 800 = 1600 more hawksbill turtles. The total number of hawksbill turtles is 800 + 1600 = 2400. The total number of turtles that have been taken into the conservation center is 2400 + 800 = 3200 turtles. The answer is 3200.
Q: Matt and Tom both walk up the stairs of the library. Matt goes up the stairs 20 steps per minute. Tom goes up the stairs 5 steps per minute more than Matt. If Matt has reached 220 steps above the entrance, how many steps will Tom have gone up by that time?
A: Matt would have walked for 220 / 20 = 11 minutes. Tom would have gone up by 11 * 5 = 55 steps more. Tom would have gone up by 220 + 55 = 275 steps. The answer is 275.
Question: A pickup truck can fill 20 eight gallon water cans (each can filled three quarters of its capacity) in three hours. If each can is filled to full capacity instead, how long, in hours, will it take to fill 25 cans?
Answer: Each can is filled with 8 / 4 * 3 = 6 gallons of water. A total of 6 * 20 = 120 gallons of water is filled in 3 hours. In 1 hour, 120 / 3 = 40 gallons of water is filled. 25 full cans can hold 25 * 8 = 200 gallons of water. It will take 200 / 40 = 5 hours to fill 25 cans to full capacity. The answer is 5.
[Question]Joan is preparing sandwiches for a family potluck. She decides to make ham sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. One ham sandwich requires 2 slices of cheese, and one grilled cheese sandwich requires 3 slices of cheese. She uses a total of 50 slices of cheese to make the sandwiches. If she makes 10 ham sandwiches, how many grilled cheese sandwiches does she make?
[Answer]The number of cheese slices used to make the ham sandwiches is 10 * 2 = 20 cheese slices. The number of cheese slices used to make the grilled cheese sandwiches is 50 - 20 = 30 cheese slices. The number of grilled cheese sandwiches she makes is 30 / 3 = 10 grilled cheese sandwiches. The answer is 10.
[Question]Martin owns a farm with hens. 10 hens do lay 80 eggs in 10 days. Martin decided to buy 15 more hens. How many eggs will all hens lay in 15 days?
[Answer]
If 10 hens lay 80 eggs, then 1 hen lays 80 / 10 = 8 eggs in 10 days. That means one hen is laying 8 / 2 = 4 eggs in 5 days. So in 15 days, 1 hen will lay 3 times more eggs, so 4 * 3 = 12 eggs. All hens in total will then lay 25 * 12 = 300 eggs in 15 days. The answer is 300.
