Question: John needs to take 2 pills a day. One pill costs $1.5. The insurance covers 40% of the cost. How much does he pay in a 30-day month?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: It cost 2 * 1.5 = $3 a day. So it cost 3 * 30 = $90 per day. Insurance covers 90 * .4 = $36. So he pays 90 - 36 = $54 a month.
So the answer is 54.

Question: To eat to when she gets full, Michaela needs 20 oranges. Cassandra needs twice as many oranges as Michaela to eat until she gets full. If they picked 90 oranges from the farm today, how many oranges would remain after they've both eaten until they were full?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Since Michaela needs 20 oranges to eat to her full, and Cassandra eats twice as much to have her full, Cassandra needs 2 * 20 = 40 oranges to eat. They eat 20 + 40 = 60 oranges together to have their fill. If they picked 90 oranges today, after eating 60 together, 90 - 60 = 30 oranges would remain.
So the answer is 30.

Question: Arnel had ten boxes of pencils with the same number of pencils in each box. He kept ten pencils and shared the remaining pencils equally with his five friends. If his friends got eight pencils each, how many pencils are in each box?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Arnel shared 5 x 8 = 40 pencils with his friends. So, he had 10 + 40 = 50 pencils in all. Therefore, each box had 50 / 10 = 5 pencils inside.
So the answer is 5.
