Question: Toby is counting goldfish in the local pond. He knows that only 25% of goldfish are at the surface and the rest are too deep below the surface to be able to see. If he counts 15 goldfish, how many are below the surface?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 60 goldfish because 15 / .25 = 60. 75% of the fish are below the surface because 100 - 25 = 75. There are 45 goldfish below the surface because 60 x .75 = 45.
So the answer is 45.

Question: Nina has received a scholarship worth $8000 less than Kelly's amount. Kelly received a scholarship worth twice the amount Wendy received. How much money did they receive in scholarship together if Wendy received a scholarship worth $20000?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Wendy received a scholarship worth $20000, Kelly, who received twice as much, received 2 * $20000 = $40000. Together, Wendy and Kelly received Scholarship worth $40000 + $20000 = $60000. Nina received a scholarship worth $8000 less than Kelly's amount, a total of $40000 - $8000 = $32000. Together, the three received scholarship worth $32000 + $60000 = $92000.
So the answer is 92000.

Question: Mitch made 20 macarons. Joshua made 6 more macarons than Mitch but half as many macarons as Miles. Renz made 1 fewer than 3/4 as many macarons as Miles. If they will combine their macarons to give them to the kids on the street, how many kids would receive 2 macarons each?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Joshua made 20 + 6 = 26 macarons. Miles made 26 x 2 = 52 macarons. Three - fourths of Miles' macarons is 52 x 3 / 4 = 39. So Renz made 39 - 1 = 38 macarons. The four of them have a total of 20 + 26 + 52 + 38 = 136 macarons combined. Thus, 136 / 2 = 68 kids would receive 2 macarons each.
So the answer is 68.

Question: There are 290 liters of oil in 24 cans. If 10 of the cans are holding 8 liters each, how much oil is each of the remaining cans holding?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: 10 cans are holding 8 liters each for a total of 10 * 8 = 80 liters. There are 290 - 80 = 210 litres left. There are 24 - 10 = 14 cans left. Each of the remaining cans is holding 210 / 14 = 15 liters each.
So the answer is 15.
