Question: Mr. Bodhi is transporting some animals using a yacht across a river. He has 20 cows, 15 foxes and three times as many zebras as foxes. To balance the yacht to ensure a smooth sail across the river, the total number of animals in the yacht needs to be 100. If he decides to add sheep to the yacht to make the yacht sail-worthy, how many sheep did he add to the yacht?
Answer: The number of cows and foxes in the yacht is 20 + 15 = 35. Mr. Bodhi also has three times as many zebras as foxes in the yacht, equal to 3 * 15 = 45 zebras. The number of animals in the yacht so far is 35 + 45 = 80. To balance the yacht, Mr. Bodhi needs to add 100 - 80 = 20 sheep. The answer is 20.
[Question]There are 200 more red apples than green apples in a grocery store. A truck arrives and delivers another 340 green apples. If there were originally 32 green apples, how many more green apples than red apples are there in the store now?
[Answer]There are 200 + 32 = 232 red apples. After the delivery there are 340 + 32 = 372 green apples. There are now 372 - 232 = 140 more green apples than red apples now. The answer is 140.
Q: For every sandwich that he eats, Sam eats four apples. If he eats 10 sandwiches every day for one week, how many apples does he eat?
A: Ten sandwiches every day for one week is 7 * 10 = 70 sandwiches. For every sandwich that Sam eats, he eats four apples, and since he ate 70 sandwiches, he ate 70 * 4 = 280 apples. The answer is 280.
Question: Jackson wants to go on a shopping spree, so his mom says she will give him some spending money if he does extra chores. She promises $5 per hour spent on chores. Jackson spends 2 hours vacuuming, and decides to do this twice. He also spends 0.5 hours washing dishes, and three times as long cleaning the bathroom. How much spending money has Jackson earned?
Answer: Jackson spent a total of 2 * 2 = 4 hours vacuuming. This means he earned 4 * $5 = 20 dollars from vacuuming. He earned 0.5 * $5 = 2.5 dollars from washing dishes. Cleaning the bathroom took three times as long as the dishes, so he spent 0.5 * 3 = 1.5 hours in the bathroom. This means he earned 1.5 * $5 = $7.5 from cleaning the bathroom. In total, he has earned $20 + $2.5 + $7.5 = $30. The answer is 30.
[Question]Tony decided to rent a small cottage. The master bedroom and bath totaled 500 sq ft. The 2 guest bedrooms were 200 sq ft each. And the kitchen, guest bath and living area totaled 600 sq ft. If Tony spends $3,000 a month on rent, how much money is he spending per sq ft of house?
[Answer]2 guest bedrooms are 200 sq ft each for a total of 2 * 200 = 400 sq ft. The master suite has 500 sq ft, the guest rooms have 400 sq ft and the rest of the house is 600 sq ft for a total of 500 + 400 + 600 = 1,500 sq ft. The rent is $3,000 for 1,500 sq ft of house so 3000 / 1500 = $2 per sq ft of house. The answer is 2.
