Answer the following question.
Carmela has $7 and each of her four cousins has $2. How much will Carmela have to give to each of her cousins so that she and her cousins will have the same amount of money?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Carmela's four cousins have a total of $2 x 4 = $8. The total money they all have is $7 + $8 = $15. There will be 1 (Carmela) + 4 (cousins) = 5 people who will be sharing equally the money. So each of them should get $15 / 5 = $3. Hence, Carmela has to give a total of $7 - $3 = $4 to her 4 cousins. Therefore, each of her cousins will get $4 / 4 = $1.
The answer is 1.

Answer the following question.
Tricia ordered three dozen eggs. She will use 1/4 of them for making crepes, and 2/3 of the remaining for making cupcakes. How many eggs are left to make sunny-side-up eggs for breakfast?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Since a dozen is equal to 12, then 3 dozen eggs are equal to 12 x 3 = 36 eggs. Tricia will use 36 x 1 / 4 = 9 eggs for making crepes. So there are 36 - 9 = 27 eggs left. 27 x 2 / 3 = 18 eggs will be used for making cupcakes. Thus, there are only 27 - 18 = 9 eggs left to make sunny - side - up eggs for breakfast.
The answer is 9.

Answer the following question.
June’s class has 25 students. 60% are girls and the rest are boys. 40% of the boys like playing basketball and the rest don't. The number of girls who like playing basketball is double the number of boys who don't like to. What percentage of the girls in the class like playing basketball?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 40% of the class is boys because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 10 boys because 25x.4 = 10. 60% of the boys don't like playing basketball because 100 - 40 = 60. 6 boys don't like playing basketball because 10x.6 = 6. 12 girls like playing basketball because 6x2 = 12. There are 15 girls in the class because 25 - 10 = 15. 80% of the girls in class like playing basketball because 12 / 15 = .8.
The answer is 80.
