Q: Mr. Sanchez found out that 40% of his Grade 5 students got a final grade below B. How many of his students got a final grade of B and above if he has 60 students in Grade 5?
A: Since 40% of his students got below B, 100% - 40% = 60% of Mr. Sanchez's students got B and above. Thus, 60 x 60 / 100 = 36 students got B and above in their final grade. The answer is 36.

Q: Ann's favorite store was having a summer clearance. For $75 she bought 5 pairs of shorts for $7 each and 2 pairs of shoes for $10 each. She also bought 4 tops, all at the same price. How much did each top cost?
A: She bought 5 shorts at $7 each so 5 * 7 = $35. She bought 2 pair of shoes at $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20. The shorts and shoes cost her 35 + 20 = $55. We know she spent 75 total and the shorts and shoes cost $55 which left a difference of 75 - 55 = $20. She bought 4 tops for a total of $20 so 20 / 4 = $5. The answer is 5.

Q: A wild tiger escapes the zoo. He escapes at 1 AM and zookeepers do not notice he is missing until 4 AM. He runs at a speed of 25 mph. It takes 2 more hours to find him but after 4 hours of running, the tiger slows his speed to 10 mph. He then gets chased for half an hour going 50 mph. How far away from the zoo was he caught?
A:
He was running for 4 - 1 = 3 hours. So in that time he runs 3 * 25 = 75 miles. Since he slowed down after 4 hours, the time he spent running at 25mph was an additional 4 - 3 = 1 hours. So in the first hour they were finding him, he ran 1 * 25 = 25 miles. In the second hour they were finding him, he ran 1 * 10 = 10 miles. Finally, during the chase, he ran 50 * .5 = 25 miles. So he is 75 + 25 + 10 + 25 = 135 miles away. The answer is 135.
