Q: A wood stove burns 4 bundles of wood in the morning, then some more in the afternoon. If there were 10 bundles of wood at the start of the day and 3 bundles of wood at the end of the day, how many bundles of wood were burned in the afternoon?
A: Working out the difference between the amount of wood available at the start and the end of the day shows that 10 bundles – 3 bundles = 7 bundles of wood have been burned throughout the day. Subtracting the wood burned in the morning from this shows that 7 bundles – 4 bundles = 3 bundles of wood were burned in the afternoon. The answer is 3.
Question: Peter has to walk 2.5 miles to get to the grocery store. If it takes him 20 minutes to walk one mile and he has walked 1 mile already, how many more minutes does he have to walk to reach it?

[Question]Heather made four times as many pizzas as Craig made on their first day at work at Mr. Pizza Inns. On their second day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig's number. If Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day and 60 more pizzas on their second day than their first day, calculate the total number of pizzas the two made together in the two days.
[Answer]Craig made 40 pizzas on their first day at work, while heather made four times that number, a total of 4 * 40 = 160 pizzas. Together, they made 160 + 40 = 200 pizzas on their first day. On the second day, Craig made 60 more pizzas than his first day at work, which totals 60 + 40 = 100 pizzas. On the same day, Heather made 20 fewer pizzas than Craig, a total of 100 - 20 = 80 pizzas. Together, they made 80 + 100 = 180 pizzas on the second day. In the two days, the two of them made a total of 180 + 200 = 380 pizzas. The answer is 380.
Q: In soccer, players receive yellow cards when they are cautioned and red cards when they are sent off. Coach Tim has a team of 11 players, 5 of them didn't receive cautions, the rest received one yellow card each. How many red cards would the whole team collect, knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards?
A: In coach Tim's team, 5 out of 11 players did not receive any caution, so 11 - 5 = 6 players were cautioned. Each cautioned player received a yellow card, so all the cautioned players received 6 * 1 = 6 yellow cards. Knowing that each red card corresponds to 2 yellow cards, the team would have 6 / 2 = 3 red cards. The answer is 3.
Question: There were 10 apples and 5 oranges in the basket. If Emily adds 5 more oranges to the basket, what percentage of the fruit in the basket would be apples?
