[Question]Monica and Michelle are combining their money to throw a party. Monica brings $15. Michelle brings $12. The cake costs 15 dollars, and soda is $3 a bottle. Each bottle of soda has 12 servings and they buy as many bottles of soda as they can afford. If there are 8 total guests, how many servings of soda does each get?
[Answer]They have $27 for the party because 15 + 12 = 27. They have $12 for soda because 27 - 15 = 12. They can buy 4 bottles of soda because 12 / 3 = 4. They have 48 servings of soda because 4 x 12 = 48. Each guest gets 6 servings because 48 / 8 = 6. The answer is 6.
Q: Melissa works on a poultry farm. She drives to town twice each month to buy supplies. If it takes her 3 hours to drive to town and back, how many hours does Melissa spend driving in a year?
A: Melissa spends 2x3 = 6 hours driving each month. Since there are 12 months in a year, she spends 6x12 = 72 hours driving each year. The answer is 72.
Question: Jenny leaves her house at 8:00 with some cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party at school. She jogs to the school at 15 miles per hour. Half an hour later, her wife Anna realizes that Jenny used peanut butter frosting because she forgot one of the kids in the class had a severe peanut allergy. Jenny doesn't have her cell phone, so Anna leaves the house driving at 45 miles her hour to catch Jenny and warn her. How long does Anna spend traveling in minutes?
Answer: We know that the time that Anna spends traveling is 20 minutes less than Jenny's travel time: a = j - 20. We also know that the distance both people travel is equal, so their speeds times their travel times must be equal: 15j = 45a. Substituting the first equation into the second equation, we get 15j = 45(j - 20). Multiplying through the parentheses we get 15 j = 45j - 900. Subtracting 45 j from both sides, we get - 30j =  - 900. Dividing both sides by - 30, we get j = 30. Since Anna travels 20 minutes less than Jenny, she traveled 30 minutes - 20 minutes = 10 minutes. The answer is 10.
[Question]It takes 1 hour for refrigerated dough to come to room temperature. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough and 2 hours to proof. The bread takes 30 minutes to bake and 15 minutes to cool. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am, what is the latest time the head baker can make it to the store to start working?
[Answer]It takes 1 hour to bring the dough to room temp and 2 hours to proof the dough so that's 1 + 2 = 3 hours. It takes 15 minutes to shape the dough, 30 minutes to bake and another 15 minutes to cool for a total of 15 + 30 + 15 = 60 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour so that takes him 60 / 60 = 1 hour. In total it takes 3 + 1 = 4 hours from start to finish to make the bread. If the bakery opens at 6:00 am and it takes 4 hours to prep then the latest the head baker can show up is 6 - 4 = 2:00 am. The answer is 2.
Q: Grant scored 10 points higher on his math test than John. John received twice as many points as Hunter who scored a 45 on his math test. What was Grant's test score?
A: John received twice as many points as Hunter, who received a 45 so John scored 2 * 45 = 90 on his test. Grants scored 10 more points than John who got a 90 so Grant received 10 + 90 = 100 on his test. The answer is 100.
Question: Jane brings 75% as many pieces of bread as treats to feed the live pets at the zoo. Wanda brings half as many treats as Jane and three times as many pieces of bread as treats. If Wanda brings 90 pieces of bread, what is the total number of pieces of bread and treats that Wanda and Jane brought to the zoo?
Answer:
Wanda brought 90 pieces of bread, three times the number of treats, so Wanda brought 90 / 3 = 30 treats. Wanda brought half as many treats as Jane, which means Jane brought 30 * 2 = 60 treats. The total number of pieces of bread Jane brought is 75% of the number of treats, which means Jane brought 0.75 * 60 = 45 pieces of bread. Wanda and Jane brought a total of 30 treats + 60 treats + 45 pieces of bread + 90 pieces of bread = 225. The answer is 225.
