Q: A group of parents get together and decide to hire a private school teacher to quit his job and teach their children. His former job paid 45,000 per year and they offered him a 20% raise. If there are 9 kids how much does each parent have to pay?
A: His raise was 45,000 * .2 = $9,000. So his new wage is 45,000 + 9,000 = $54,000. So they each have to pay him 54,000 / 9 = $6,000 per year. The answer is 6000.
Question: Aubree saw 20 beavers and 40 chipmunks by a tree when going to school and scared them away when they saw her. While coming back from school, she realized the number of beavers had doubled and the number of chipmunks had decreased by 10. What's the total number of animals she saw that day?
Answer: When going to school, she saw 40 + 20 = 60 animals. The number of beavers doubled to 20 * 2 = 40 beavers. The number of chipmunks decreased to 40 - 10 = 30 chipmunks. The total number of animals she saw on that day is 30 + 40 + 60 = 130 animals. The answer is 130.

Q: A performing magician has a disappearing act where he makes a random member of his audience disappear and reappear. Unfortunately, one-tenth of the time, the audience member never reappears. However, one-fifth of the time, two people reappear instead of only one. If the magician has put on 100 performances of the act this year, how many people have reappeared?
A: One - tenth of the time, no one reappears, so there have been 100 / 10 = 10 times no one has reappeared. One - fifth of the time, two people reappear, so there have been 100 / 5 = 20 times 2 people have reappeared. In those 20 times, 2 * 20 = 40 people have reappeared in all. Thus, there have been 100 - 10 - 20 = 70 times one person has reappeared. Therefore, over 100 acts, 70 + 40 = 100 people have reappeared in all. The answer is 110.
Question: If olivine has 5 more precious stones than agate and diamond has 11 more precious stones than olivine, how many precious stones do they have together if agate has 30 precious stones?
Answer:
Since Agate has 30 precious stones and Olivine has 5 more precious stones, then Olivine has 30 + 5 = 35 precious stones. The total number of stones Olivine and Agate has is 35 + 30 = 65. Diamond has 11 more precious stones than Olivine, who has 35 stones, meaning Diamond has 35 + 11 = 46 precious stones. In total, they all have 65 + 46 = 111 precious stones. The answer is 111.
