[Question]Lisa makes breakfast for her family every morning, Monday through Friday. She makes 2 eggs for each of her 4 children and 3 eggs for her husband. Then, she makes 2 eggs for herself. How many eggs does Lisa cook for her family for breakfast in a year?
[Answer]Lisa makes 2 eggs / child x 4 children = 8 eggs for her children. She makes 3 eggs for her husband + 2 for herself + 8 for her children = 13 eggs. Lisa makes breakfast 5 days a week for 52 weeks a year, so 5 * 52 = 260 breakfasts. So Lisa makes 13 eggs / breakfast x 260 breakfasts = 3,380 eggs. The answer is 3380.

Q: Ben bought a lawnmower for his garden. He paid $100 for it. After six months, the value of the mower dropped by about 25%. Over the next year, the value of the mower dropped another 20% in value. How much is Ben's lawnmower worth after this time?
A: The first value drop of the lawnmower was 25 / 100 * 100 = $25. So the lawnmower was worth 100 - 25 = $75. Over the next year, the value dropped another 20%, which is 20 / 100 * 75 = $15. So after all this time, Ben's lawnmower is worth 75 - 15 = $60. The answer is 60.
Question: Tony goes on 5 rollercoasters while he is at the park. The first went 50 miles per hour. The second went 62 miles per hour. The third when 73 miles per hour. The fourth when 70 miles per hour. His average speed during the day was 59 miles per hour. How fast was the fifth coaster?
Answer:
The total speed of all five coasters is 295 because 59 x 5 = 295. The final coaster went 40 miles per hour because 295 - 50 - 62 - 73 - 70 = 40. The answer is 40.
