[Question]A floral shop had a three day sale on rose bouquets. On Monday, they sold 12 bouquets. On Tuesday, they sold three times that many bouquets. On Wednesday it rained all day and they only sold a third of what they did the day before. How many bouquets did they sell during the three day sale?
[Answer]On Tuesday they sold 12 * 3 = 36 bouquets. On Wednesday they only sold 36 / 3 = 12 bouquets. In total they sold 12 + 36 + 12 = 60 bouquets. The answer is 60.
Q: Four small panda bears and five bigger panda bears eat 25 pounds and 40 pounds of fresh bamboo sprouts every day, respectively. How many pounds of bamboo do the 9 pandas eat in a week?
A: The small panda bears eat a total of 4 x 25 = 100 pounds of bamboo every day. The bigger panda bears eat a total of 5 x 40 = 200 pounds of bamboo every day. So, the 9 pandas eat a total of 100 + 200 = 300 pounds of bamboo every day. Therefore, they eat a total of 300 x 7 = 2100 pounds in a week. The answer is 2100.

[Question]Sue is traveling from New York to San Francisco, 16 hours later after landing in New York from New Orleans. If the journey from New Orleans to New York took 3/4 times as much time as she takes to travel from New York to San Francisco, and she lands in San Francisco 24 hours later after departing from New York, calculate the total time she took to reach San Francisco from New Orleans?
[Answer]To travel from New Orleans to New York, Sue took 3 / 4 * 24 hours = 18 hours. If she stayed in New York for 16 hours, Sue's total time to travel from New Orleans to San Francisco is: 18 hours from New Orleans to New York + 16 hours in New York + 24 hours from New York to San Francisco = 58 hours. The answer is 58.
Q: Cindy can jump rope for 12 minutes before tripping up on the ropes. Betsy can jump rope half as long as Cindy before tripping up, while Tina can jump three times as long as Betsy. How many more minutes can Tina jump rope than Cindy?
A: Betsy jumps half as long as Cindy, who jumps for 12 minutes so Betsy jumps 12 / 2 = 6 minutes. Tina jumps three times as long as Betsy, who jumps for 6 minutes so Tina jumps 3 * 6 = 18 minutes. Tina can jump for 18 minutes and Cindy and jump for 12 minutes so Tina can jump 18 - 12 = 6 minutes longer. The answer is 6.
Question: Taro and Vlad play a video game competition together, earning 5 points for every win. After playing 30 rounds, Taro scored 4 points less than 3/5 of the total points scored. How many total points did Vlad score?
Answer:
If they played 30 rounds, the total possible points from wins are 5 * 30 = 150 points. Scoring 3 / 5 of the total possible points earns you 3 / 5 * 150 points = 90 points. If Taro scored 4 points less than 3 / 5 of the total points, he scored 90 points - 4 points = 86 points. If the total points scored in the game is 150, then Vlad scored 150 points - 86 points = 64 points. The answer is 64.
