Question: Mcdonald is planning to open up a farm that provides eggs to the community. In his local community, Saly needs 10 eggs, Ben needs 14 eggs, and Ked needs half of the number of eggs needed by Ben per week. In a month which has 4 weeks, how many eggs should Mcdonald's farm produce?
Answer: Ked needs 14 / 2 = 7 eggs. Mcdonald has to produce 10 + 14 + 7 = 31 eggs in a week. Therefore, Mcdonald's farm has to produce 31 x 4 = 124 eggs in a month. The answer is 124.
[Question]Danny helps his friends carpool to work. He has to drive 8 miles to the first friend's house, half that distance to the second friend's house, then 3 times the total distance driven so far to get to work. How many miles does Danny drive between the second friend's house and work?
[Answer]First find the distance to the second friend's house by halving the distance to the first friend's house: 8 miles / 2 = 4 miles. Then add that amount to the distance to the first friend's house: 4 miles + 8 miles = 12 miles. Then triple that number to find the distance from the second friend's house to work: 12 miles * 3 = 36 miles. The answer is 36.
Q: Kayden's business delivered an equal number of the 400 cartons of milk it had processed to four of its customers in different towns. However, each of the four customers returned 60 cartons damaged during delivery. What's the total number of cartons that were accepted by the customers?
A: Each of the four customers received delivery of 400 / 4 = 100 cartons of milk. Since each customer returned 60 cartons that were damaged during delivery, the number of cartons accepted is 100 - 60 = 40 cartons by each customer. If each customer accepted 40 cartons, the total number of cartons that the four customers did not return is 40 * 4 = 160. The answer is 160.

[Question]A local bookshop is selling off its old inventory in order to bring in newer books. They currently have 743 books in their store. They sold 37 books in-store on Saturday and sold 128 books online. On Sunday, they sold twice as many books in-store and increased their online sales by 34 books. They also received a shipment of 160 books. How many books do they currently have?
[Answer]On Sunday they sold twice as many books in - store as the 37 books on Saturday so they sold 2 * 37 = 74. They sold 128 books online on Saturday and increased that number by 34 books on Sunday for a total of 128 + 34 = 162. Over the weekend they sold 37 + 128 + 74 + 162 = 401 books. They started off with 743 books and sold 401 books which brings the inventory to 743 - 401 = 342 books. They have 342 books and received a shipment for 160 bringing their inventory to 342 + 160 = 502 books. The answer is 502.
[Question]Karen has 32 quarters in her piggy bank. Her older brother Christopher has 64 quarters in his piggy bank. How much more money does Christopher have?
