Q: Mary had 6 lambs and 2 of the lambs had 2 babies each. She traded 3 lambs for one goat. One morning, she woke up and found an extra 7 lambs in the field. How many lambs does Mary have?
A: 2 of her lambs had 2 babies each so that adds 2 * 2 = 4 lambs. She starts with 6 and adds 4 baby lambs so she had 6 + 4 = 10 lambs. She traded 3 of those lambs for a goat so she has 10 - 3 = 7 lambs. She has 7 and woke up to find 7 more lambs in the field so she has a total of 7 + 7 = 14 lambs. The answer is 14.
Question: Jean is a customer service rep and answered 35 phone calls on Monday. On Tuesday, she answered 46 and took 27 calls on Wednesday. On Thursday she answered 61 calls and finished off answering 31 calls on Friday. What’s the average number of calls she answers per day?
Answer: During the week she answered 35 on Mon, 46 on Tue, 27 on Wed, 61 on Thurs and 31 on Fri for a total of 35 + 46 + 27 + 61 + 31 = 200 calls. She answered 200 calls over 5 days so on average, she answered 200 / 5 = 40 calls a day. The answer is 40.
[Question]The sum of the ages of Jeremy, Sebastian and Sophia in three years is 150. Currently, Sebastian is 4 years older than Jeremy. If Jeremy's age is 40, calculate Sophia's age three years from now?
[Answer]The age of Jeremy three years from now will be 40 + 3 = 43 years. Since Sebastian age is four years more than Jeremy's, Sebastian is currently 40 + 4 = 44 years. In three years, Sebastian will be 44 + 3 = 47 years old. The total age of Jeremy and Sebastian in three years will be 47 + 43 = 90. If the total age of Jeremy, Sebastian and Sophia in three years is 150, then Sophia's age in three years will be 150 - 90 = 60. The answer is 60.
Q: Susan had a bouquet of 3 dozen roses. She gave half to her daughter, and then placed the rest in a vase. The next day, one-third of the flowers in the vase were wilted. After removing the wilted flowers, how many flowers remained in the vase?
A: Susan had a bouquet of 3 dozen roses, which is 3 * 12 = 36 flowers. She gave half, 36 / 2 = 18, to her daughter. Then she placed her 36 - 18 = 18 remaining flowers in a vase. One - third of the 18 flowers in the vase wilted, resulting in 18 / 3 = 6 wilted flowers. After removing the wilted flowers, Susan had 18 - 6 = 12 flowers remaining in the vase. The answer is 12.
Question: The dinner bill for 6 friends came to $150. Silas said he would pay for half of the bill and the remaining friends could split the rest of the bill and leave a 10% tip for the whole meal. How many dollars will one of the friends pay?
Answer: Silas paid half = 150 / 2 = 75. Remaining bill paid by 5 friends = 75 + 10% of 150 = 75 + 15 = 90. Each person will pay 1 / 5 which is 90 / 5 = 18. Each friend will pay $18. The answer is 18.
Q: Sabrina went to the library and found a historical series novel called The Rangers Apprentice. There are 14 books in the series, and each book has 200 pages. She read four books in a month and half the number of books remaining in the second month. What's the total number of pages Sabrina has to read to finish the whole series?
A:
The total number of pages in the series is 14 books * 200 pages / book = 2800 pages. Sabrina read 4 books * 200 pages / book = 800 pages in the first month. She still has 14 books - 4 books = 10 books after reading four books. In the second month, she read 1 / 2 * 10 books = 5 books. The total number of pages she read is 5 books * 200 pages / book = 1000 in the second month. In total, Sabrina 1000 pages + 800 pages = 1800 pages in two months. Sabrina has to read 2800 pages - 1800 pages = 1000 more pages to complete the total series. The answer is 1000.
