Question: Billy's mom sends him to get ketchup. She gives him $10 and tells him to get the best deal on ketchup that he can and to spend all $10 on ketchup. He finds a bottle with 10 oz that cost $1 each. He finds a bottle that costs $2 that contains 16 ounces. He finds a bottle with 25 ounces that costs $2.5. He finds a $5 bottle that contains 50 ounces. Finally, he finds a $10 bottle with 200 ounces. How many bottles of ketchup does he buy?
Answer: The 10 ounce bottle costs $.1 an ounce because 1 / 10 = .1. The 16 ounce bottle costs $.125 an ounce because 2 / 12 = .125. The 25 ounce bottle costs $.125 an ounce because 2.5 / 20 = .125. The 50 ounce bottle costs $.1 an ounce because 5 / 50 = .1. The 200 ounce bottle cost $.05 an ounce because 10 / 200 = .05. The 200 ounce bottle is the cheapest per ounce because .05 < .08 < .1 < .125. He buys 1 bottle of ketchup because 10 / 10 = 1. The answer is 1.
[Question]A soccer team has three goalies and ten defenders. The team also has twice as many midfielders as defenders, and the rest of the players are strikers. If the team has 40 players, how many strikers are in the team?
[Answer]The team's total number of goalies and defenders is 3 + 10 = 13. The number of midfielders in the team is twice the number of defenders, which means there are 2 * 10 = 20 defenders in the team. The total number of players in the team playing the positions of goalies, defenders and midfielders is 20 + 13 = 33. If there are 40 players in the team, then the number of strikes in the team is 40 - 33 = 7. The answer is 7.
Q: Carrie and her mom go to the mall to buy new clothes for school. Carrie buys 4 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 2 jackets. Each shirt costs $8. Each pair of pants costs $18. Each jacket costs $60. If Carrie’s mom pays for half of the total cost of all the clothes, how much does Carrie pay for the clothes?
A: The total cost of shirts is 4 * $8 = $32. The total cost of pants is 2 * $18 = $36. The total cost of the jackets is 2 * $60 = $120. The total cost of the clothes is $32 + $36 + $120 = $188. Since Carrie’s mom pays for half of the total cost, Carrie pays $188 / 2 = $94. The answer is 94.
Question: At Theo’s cafe, he makes 3 egg and 4 egg omelettes. His cafe is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. In the first hour, 5 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second hour, 7 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. In the third hour, 3 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the last hour, 8 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. How many eggs does Theo need to make all the omelettes?
Answer: In the first and third hour, 5 + 3 = 8 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second and last hour, 7 + 8 = 15 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. To make the 3 egg omelettes, Theo needs 3 x 8 = 24 eggs. To make the 4 egg omelettes, Theo needs 15 x 4 = 60 eggs. To make all the omelettes, he needs 24 + 60 = 84 eggs. The answer is 84.

[Answer]Including Carl, there will be 15 + 1 = 16 people at the party. Carl would like each person to be able to have 2 cups x 12 ounces = 24 ounces of punch. Carl needs to buy 16 x 24 = 384 ounces of punch. The answer is 384.
[Question]A baker bakes 5 loaves of bread an hour in one oven. He has 4 ovens. From Monday to Friday, he bakes for 5 hours, but on Saturday and Sunday, he only bakes for 2 hours. How many loaves of bread does the baker bake in 3 weeks?
[Answer]
In an hour, the baker bakes 5 x 4 = 20 loaves of bread. From Monday to Friday, he bakes 5 x 20 = 100 loaves of bread per day. From Monday to Friday, he bakes a total of 100 x 5 = 500 loaves of bread. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes 2 x 20 = 40 loaves of bread per day. On Saturday and Sunday, he bakes a total of 40 x 2 = 80 loaves of bread. In a week, he bakes 500 + 80 = 580 loaves of bread. In 3 weeks, he bakes 580 x 3 = 1740 loaves of bread. The answer is 1740.
