[Question]Adam and Tom are brothers. Adam is 8 years old and Tom is 12 years old. In how many years will their combined age be 44 years old?
[Answer]At present, the two brothers have a combined age of 8 + 12 = 20 years old. Therefore, 1 year means an increase in the sum of their ages by 1 * 2 = 2 years. Adam and Tom need a total of 44 - 20 = 24 more years to be 44 years old together. So both brothers will be 44 years old together after 24 / 2 = 12 years. The answer is 12.
Q: Isabela bought twice as many cucumbers as pencils, with both costing $20 each. If she got a 20% discount on the pencils and bought 100 cucumbers, calculate the total amount she spent to buy the items.
A: Isabela bought twice as many cucumbers as pencils, meaning she bought 100 / 2 = 50 pencils. The total cost for purchasing the pencils without the discount is 50 * $20 = $1000. At a 20% discount, Isabela paid 20 / 100 * $1000 = $200 less. The total amount of money she used to buy the pencils is $1000 - $200 = $800. She also bought the cucumbers at a total cost of $20 * 100 = $2000. The total cost for the items is $2000 + $800 = $2800. The answer is 2800.
Question: Toby has 63 photos on his camera roll. He deletes seven bad shots, takes fifteen pictures of his cat, and then does a photo shoot with his friends. After editing the photos with his friends, he decides to delete three of them. His camera roll has 84 photos in the end. How many photos did Toby take in the photo shoot?
Answer: Let P be the number of photos in the photo shoot. After Toby deleted 7 shots, he had 63 - 7 = 56 photos. After taking 15 cat pictures, he had 56 + 15 = 71 photos. After the photo shoot, he had 71 + P photos. After deleting 3 photos, he had 71 + P - 3 = 68 + P photos. He had 68 + P = 84 photos in the end. Thus, Toby took P = 84 - 68 = 16 photos in the photo shoot. The answer is 16.
[Question]The Lion King cost 10 million to make and earned 200 million at the box office. If it earned a profit that was half of what Star Wars made and Star Wars cost 25 million to make, how many millions did Star Wars earn?
[Answer]The Lion King made 190 million in profit because 200 - 10 = 190. Star Wars made 380 in profit because 190 x 2 = 380. Star Wars earned 405 million because 25 + 380 = 405. The answer is 405.
