Question: Mark collects money for the homeless. He visits 20 households a day for 5 days and half of those households give him a pair of 20s. How much did he collect?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He got money from 20 / 2 = 10 households per day. So that means he got money from 10 * 5 = 50 households. Each of those houses gave 20 * 2 = $40. So he raised 40 * 50 = $2000.
So the answer is 2000.

Question: Chester must deliver ten bales of hay to Farmer Brown. Farmer Brown wants Chester to supply better quality hay and double the delivery of bales of hay. If the previous hay cost $15 per bale, and the better quality one cost $18 per bale, how much more money will Farmer Brown need to meet his own new requirements?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The hay previously cost $15 per bale so 10 bales would cost $15 * 10 = $150. Double 10 bales is 10 * 2 = 20 bales. Better quality hay cost $18 per bale so 20 bales would cost $18 * 20 = $360. Farmer Brown would need $360 - $150 = $210 more.
So the answer is 210.

Question: At Hank’s cafe, he sells big stack pancakes which have 5 pancakes and short stack pancakes which have 3 pancakes. If 9 customers order the short stack and 6 customers order the big stack, how many pancakes does Hank need to make?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: For the short stack orders, Hank needs to make 3 x 9 = 27 pancakes. For the big stack orders, he needs to make 5 x 6 = 30 pancakes. Altogether, Hank needs to make 27 + 30 = 57 pancakes.
So the answer is 57.

Question: Brendan can cut 8 yards of grass per day, he bought a lawnmower and it helped him to cut more yards by Fifty percent per day. How many yards will Brendan be able to cut after a week?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The additional yard Brendan can cut after buying the lawnmower is 8 x 0.50 = 4 yards. So, the total yards he can cut with the lawnmower is 8 + 4 = 12. Therefore, the total number of yards he can cut in a week is 12 x 7 = 84 yards.
So the answer is 84.
