Question: Marco owns an ice cream truck. His ice cream cones are $5 each. If his expenses are 80% of total sales for the day, how many ice cream cones would he need to sell to make a $200 profit for the day?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: His expenses are 80 / 100 = 4 / 5. His profit would be 20 / 100 = 1 / 5. Total sales for the day is $200 x 5 = $1000. Total ice cream cones he sells is $1000 / 5 = 200.
So the answer is 200.

Question: Joseph invested $1000 into a hedge fund. The fund promised a yearly interest rate of 10%. If he deposited an additional $100 every month into the account to add to his initial investment of $1000, how much money will he have in the fund after two years?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: For the first year, Joseph will have invested $1000 + ($100 * 12) = $2200. The interest calculated for the first year will be $2200 * 10% = $220. The total value of the investment for the first year will be $2200 + $220 = $2420. For the second year, the total invested will be $2420 + ($100 * 12) = $3620. The interest calculated after the second year will be $3620 * 10% = $362. Therefore, Joseph's investment in the mutual fund will be worth $3620 + $362 = $3982.
So the answer is 3982.

Question: Page collects fancy shoes and has 80 pairs in her closet. She decides to donate 30% of her collection that she no longer wears. After dropping off her donation, she treats herself and buys 6 more pairs to add to her collection. How many shoes does she have now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: She donates 30% of her 80 pairs of shoes so that’s .30 * 80 = 24 pair of shoes she donates. She had 80 shoes in her collection and donates 24 so that leaves 80 - 24 = 56 pairs of shoes. She now has 56 pairs of shoes and buys 6 more pairs so her collection is now 56 + 6 = 62 pairs of shoes.
So the answer is 62.

Question: Uncle Jude baked 256 cookies. He gave 15 cookies to Tim, 23 cookies to Mike, kept some in the fridge and gave the rest to Anna. How many cookies did he put in the fridge if he gave twice as many cookies as he gave Tim to Anna?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: He gave twice 15 cookies to Anna which is 2 * 15 = 30 cookies. He gave out a total of 15 + 23 + 30 = 68 cookies. The remainder in the fridge is 256 - 68 = 188 cookies.
So the answer is 188.
