Consider the Q and A. Q: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 per pound and 5 pounds of apples, at $6 per pound. How much did he spend in total?
A: 40
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mark bought 2 pounds of tomatoes for $5 / pound * 2 pounds = $10. Mark bought 5 pounds of apples for $6 / pound * 5 pounds = $30. Now add those two quantities to find Mark's total spending: $30 + $10 = $40.

Consider the Q and A. Q: The epic poem currently contains 24 lines. If a person adds 3 lines to the poem every month, in how many months will the poem contain 90 lines?
A: 22
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If the epic poem currently contains 24 lines, the total number of lines added for it to reach 90 is 90 - 24 = 66 lines. If a person adds 3 lines to the poem every month, it will take 66 / 3 = 22 months for the poem to contain 90 lines.

Consider the Q and A. Q: A family has three adults and children, both girls and boys. They went out for a family trip and prepared 3 dozen boiled eggs for the trip. Every adult got 3 eggs, and the boys each received 1 more egg than each girl since the girls had some snacks. How many boys went on the trip if the number of girls was 7 and each girl received an egg?
A: 10
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
The total number of eggs the family had is 3 * 12 = 36 eggs. If each adult received 3 eggs, the total number of eggs they got is 3 * 3 = 9 eggs. The children shared 36 - 9 = 27 eggs. Since each girl received an egg, the boys shared 27 - 7 = 20 eggs. If each boy received 1 egg more than each girl, each received 1 + 1 = 2 eggs. The boys received 20 eggs, and if each got 2 eggs, then 20 / 2 = 10 boys went on the trip.
