Question: Carly is a pet groomer. Today, her task was trimming the four nails on dogs’ paws. She trimmed 164 nails, but three of the dogs had only three legs. How many dogs did Carly work on?
Answer: Let N be the number of dogs with 4 legs Carly worked on. All the dogs with 4 legs had 4N paws. There were 3 * 3 = 9 paws on dogs with 3 legs. At 4 nails per paw, she trimmed 164 / 4 = 41 paws. She worked on 4N + 9 = 41 paws. Thus, she worked on 4N = 32 paws on dogs with 4 legs. She worked on N = 32 / 4 = 8 dogs with 4 legs. Thus, Carly worked on 8 + 3 = 11 dogs. The answer is 11.
[Question]A case of water contains 24 bottles. A children's camp comprising of 4 groups purchased 13 cases for a 3-day camp. The first group has 14 children, the second group has 16 children, the third group has 12 children, and the fourth group has half of the number of the first three groups combined. If each child consumes 3 bottles a day, how many more bottles of water does the camp organizer still need to buy?
[Answer]The first three groups have a total of 14 + 16 + 12 = 42 children. The fourth group has 42 / 2 = 21 children. All together, the camp has 42 + 21 = 63 children. In one day, the children consume 3 x 63 = 189 bottles of water. In 3 days, the children will need 189 x 3 = 567 bottles of water. The camp organizer has already purchased 13 x 24 = 312 bottles of water. The camp organizer must buy another 567 - 312 = 255 bottles of water. The answer is 255.

Question: The total number of employees in a company is 450, and each employee earns $2000 per month. If the company laid off 1/3 of its employees due to tough economic times, calculate the total amount of money the company paid to the remaining employees.
Answer: 1 / 3 of the employees were laid off, that is 1 / 3 * 450 = 150 employees. There were 450 - 150 = 300 employees remaining. If the company was paying each person $2000, the total amount of money paid to the remaining employees is 300 * 2000 = $600000. The answer is 600000.
[Question]Brinley's teacher took the grade six students to the San Diego Zoo to watch and learn about animals. While at the zoo, Brinley counted 100 snakes, 80 arctic foxes, and 20 leopards. She also saw ten times more bee-eaters than leopards, half as many cheetahs as snakes, and twice as many alligators as the total number of Arctic foxes and leopards. What's the total number of animals Brinley counted at the zoo?
[Answer]There were 10 * 20 = 200 more bee - eaters at the zoo. There were 1 / 2 * 100 = 50 cheetahs. The total number of foxes and leopards is 80 + 20 = 100. There were 2 * 100 = 200 alligators. The total number of animals is 200 alligators + 220 bee - eaters + 100 snakes + 80 tactic foxes + 20 leopards + 50 cheetahs = 670 animals. The answer is 670.
[Question]Hanna has $300. She wants to buy roses at $2 each and give some of the roses to her friends, Jenna and Imma. Jenna will receive 1/3 of the roses, and Imma will receive 1/2 of the roses. How many roses does Hanna give to her friends?
[Answer]
Hanna can buy $300 / $2 = 150 roses. So, Jenna will receive 1 / 3 x 150 = 50 roses. While Imma will receive 1 / 2 x 150 = 75 roses. Therefore, Hanna gives a total of 50 + 75 = 125 roses to her friends. The answer is 125.
