Question: Belinda’s dog is missing, so she made 200 flyers to distribute around town with the help of her friends. Ryan passed out 42 flyers, Alyssa passed out 67, Scott passed out 51 and Belinda passed out the rest. What percentage of the flyers did Belinda pass out?
Answer: The total number of flyers Belinda’s friends passed out was 42 by Ryan + 67 by Alyssa + 51 by Scott = 160 flyers. Belinda passed out 200 total flyers – 160 flyers passed out by friends = 40 flyers. To express this as a decimal, divide Belinda’s 40 flyers / 200 total flyers = 0.20. Belinda passed out 0.20 x 100% = 20% of the flyers. The answer is 20.

A: Tyler gives away 21 / 3 = 7 CDs. After giving away a third of his CDs, Tyler has 21 - 7 = 14 CDs. After buying new CDs, Tyler has 14 + 8 = 22 CDs. The answer is 22.
Question: The Rotary Club is holding its annual fundraising Omelet Breakfast, with tickets sold in advance. The tickets come in different price levels, for young children, older children, adults, and seniors. This year they sold 53 small children tickets, 35 older children tickets, 75 adult tickets, and 37 senior tickets. To figure out how many eggs they need to buy, the club estimates that small children can eat a half omelet, older children can eat a whole omelet, adults will eat two omelets, and seniors will eat one and a half omelets. Just to be on the safe side, they get enough eggs to make 25 extra omelets. If they use 2 eggs for each omelet, how many eggs will they need to buy?
Answer: They'll need to make an estimated 0.5 * 53 = 26.5 omelets for small children. They'll need to make an estimated 1 * 35 = 35 omelets for older children. They'll need to make an estimated 2 * 75 = 150 omelets for the adults. And they'll need to make an estimated 1.5 * 37 = 55.5 omelets for the seniors. Along with the 25 extra omelets they'll make as a buffer, they will need enough eggs for 26.5 + 35 + 150 + 55.5 + 25 = 292 omelets. So they will need 2 * 292 = 584 eggs. The answer is 584.
[Question]John decides to buy some birds. He got 50 dollars from each of his 4 grandparents. If each bird costs $20, how many wings did all the birds have?
[Answer]He got 4 * 50 = $200. That means he was able to buy 200 / 20 = 10 birds. Since each bird has 2 wings he got 10 * 2 = 20 wings. The answer is 20.
[Question]Walter wants to serve hushpuppies to his guests for his annual fish fry event. He thinks each guest will eat 5 hushpuppies and he is having 20 guests. He can cook 10 hushpuppies in 8 minutes. How long will it take to cook all of the hushpuppies?
[Answer]
He wants to serve 5 hushpuppies to each guest and he is having 20 guests so that's 5 * 20 = 100 hush puppies. He can only cook 10 hushpuppies at a time and he needs to cook 100 hushpuppies so that's 100 / 10 = 10 batches of hushpuppies. Each batch takes 8 minutes to cook and he has 10 batches to cook so it will take him 8 * 10 = 80 minutes. The answer is 80.
