Question: Aryan owes Fernanda $1200, which is twice what Kyro owes Fernanda. Aryan decides to pay 60% of her debt to Fernanda, and Kyro pays Fernanda 80% of her dept. If Fernanda had $300 in her savings account and adds the money she's been paid by her debtors to the savings account, calculate the total amount of money in her savings account now.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Kyro owes Fernanda half of what Aryan owes Fernanda, a total of 1 / 2 * $1200 = $600. Aryan pays 60% of her dept, which equals 60 / 100 * 1200 = $720. If Fernanda adds the amount she's been paid by Aryan to her savings account, it increases to $300 + $720 = $1020. Kyro also pays her debt by 80 / 100 * $600 = $480. When Fernanda adds the amount she's been paid by Kyro to her savings account, the total amount of money in the savings account increases to $1020 + $480 = $1500.
So the answer is 1500.

Question: Connor wanted to order some new books to read. The website was offering free shipping over $50.00. They also had a deal that when you buy 4 books; the first two were 25% off. Book 1 cost 13.00 and Book 2 cost 15.00. Book 3 & 4 were both $10.00 each. How much more money did Connor need to spend to receive free shipping?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Book 1 was $12.50 and book 2 was $15.00 so 13.00 + 15.00 = $28.00. He was buying 4 books, so these 2 were 25% off so 28.00 * .25 = $7.00. These two books came out to 28 - 7 = $21.00. Books 3 & 4 were both $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20.00. When you add all 4 books together, 21 + 20 = $41.00. To get free shipping he would need to spend 50 - 41 = $9.00 more on books.
So the answer is 9.

Question: Angeli had 90 assorted candies. One-third of the candies were lollipops and the rest were candy canes. She then shared the lollipops equally among the boys such that each boy received 3. She then shared the candy canes equally among the girls such that each received 2. How many boys and girls were given altogether?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There were 90 / 3 = 30 lollipops. So, 90 - 30 = 60 are candy canes. Each boy received 3 lollipops, so there were 30 / 3 = 10 boys. Each girl received 2 candy canes, so there were 60 / 2 = 30 girls. Altogether, there were 10 + 30 = 40 boys and girls.
So the answer is 40.

Question: A banana tree has 100 bananas left after Raj cut some bananas from it. If Raj has eaten 70 bananas and has twice as many remaining in his basket, how many bananas were on the tree initially?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Raj has eaten 70 bananas in the basket, he has 2 * 70 = 140 bananas. The total number of bananas that Raj cut from the tree is 140 + 70 = 210. On the tree initially were 100 + 210 = 310 bananas.
So the answer is 310.
