Question: Elois needs 4 bananas to make 1 loaf of banana bread. On Monday, she makes 3 loaves of banana bread. On Tuesday, she makes twice as many loaves of banana bread as Monday. How many bananas did she use to make all the banana bread?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: On Tuesday, Elois makes 3 x 2 = 6 banana breads. She makes a total of 3 + 6 = 9 banana breads. She uses 9 x 4 = 36 bananas to make all the banana breads.
So the answer is 36.

Question: On Tuesday last week, Leo dropped off 10 pairs of trousers and some shirts at Sudsy Laundry. He was given a bill of $140, charged at $5 per shirt and $9 for each pair of trousers. When he went to pick up his clothes yesterday, the attendant insisted that he had only dropped off 2 shirts. Leo reported the matter to the manager, who ordered the attendant to search for the rest of Leo’s shirts. How many shirts were missing?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The cost of laundering all of Leo’s trousers is 10 * 9 = 90 dollars. Since the total bill was 140 dollars, this means that all the shirts were cleaned for 140 - 90 = 50 dollars. As each shirt is cleaned at 5 dollars, Sudsy Laundry therefore laundered a total of 50 / 5 = 10 shirts. The missing shirts are therefore 10 - 2 = 8 shirts.
So the answer is 8.

Question: A trader has 55 bags of rice in stock. She sells off some bags of rice and restocks 132 bags of rice. How many bags of rice did she sell if she now has 164 bags of rice?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: She had 55 bags and restocked 132 after selling some, so if she had not sold any, she would have a total of 55 + 132 = 187 bags. However she now has 164 bags, so she must have sold off 187 - 164 = 23 bags.
So the answer is 23.

Question: Dana normally drinks a 500 ml bottle of soda each day. Since the 500 ml bottles are currently out of stock at the store, she buys a 2-liter bottle of soda instead. If Dana continues to drink 500 ml of soda each day, how long will the 2-liter bottle of soda last? There are 1,000 ml in 1 liter.
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 2 * 1,000 ml = 2,000 ml in a 2 - liter bottle of soda. A 2 - liter bottle of soda lasts 2,000 / 500 = 4 days.
So the answer is 4.
