Answer the following question.
Suki bought 6.5 bags of coffee beans that each weighed 22 kilograms. Jimmy bought 4.5 bags of coffee beans that each weighed 18 kilograms. Suki and Jimmy combined their coffee beans and then repackaged them into 8-kilogram containers. How many containers did they use?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Suki = 6.5 * 22 = 143 kg. Jimmy = 4.5 * 18 = 81 kg. 143 + 81 = 224. 224 / 8 = 28. They used 28 containers.
The answer is 28.

Answer the following question.
The total number of employees in a company is 450, and each employee earns $2000 per month. If the company laid off 1/3 of its employees due to tough economic times, calculate the total amount of money the company paid to the remaining employees.
Step-by-step reasoning process: 1 / 3 of the employees were laid off, that is 1 / 3 * 450 = 150 employees. There were 450 - 150 = 300 employees remaining. If the company was paying each person $2000, the total amount of money paid to the remaining employees is 300 * 2000 = $600000.
The answer is 600000.

Answer the following question.
A new edition Geometry book has 450 pages which are 230 pages less than twice as many pages as the old edition. How many pages did the old edition Geometry book have?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Let x be the number of pages of the old edition Geometry book. The new edition Geometry book has 2x - 230 = 450 pages. 2x = 450 + 230. 2x = 680. x = 340 pages.
The answer is 340.
