Question: 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?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: 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.
So the answer is 160.


Question: Mike decides to develop a plot of land. He bought 200 acres for $70 per acre. After development, he sold half of the acreage for $200 per acre. How much profit did he make?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: He bought the land for 200 * 70 = $14000. He sold 200 / 2 = 100 acres. He got 100 * 200 = $20,000 from selling this. So he made a profit of 20,000 - 14,000 = $6,000.
So the answer is 6000.


Question: Kendra baked cookies for her family. Each batch contains 12 cookies. His family has 4 total people. She made three batches. Each cookie contains 2 chocolate chips. How many chips does each family member eat if they all get the same number of cookies?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
She made 36 cookies because 12 x 3 = 36. These contain 72 chocolate chips because 36 x 2 = 72. They each get to eat 18 chocolate chips because 72 / 4 = 18.
So the answer is 18.
