[Question]Victor works at Clucks Delux, a restaurant specializing in chicken. An order of Chicken Pasta uses 2 pieces of chicken, an order of Barbecue Chicken uses 3 pieces of chicken, and a family-size Fried Chicken Dinner uses 8 pieces of chicken. Tonight, Victor has 2 Fried Chicken Dinner orders, 6 Chicken Pasta orders, and 3 Barbecue Chicken orders. How many pieces of chicken does he need for all the orders?

Q: Colby harvested his mango trees, the total mangoes he harvested is 60 kilograms. He sold 20 kilograms to the market and sold the remaining half to his community. If each kilogram contains 8 mangoes, how many mangoes does he still have?
A: He has 60 - 20 = 40 kilograms of mangoes left after selling them to the market. Colby sold 1 / 2 x 40 = 20 kilograms of mangoes to the community. Therefore, Colby still has 20x8 = 160 pieces of mangoes. The answer is 160.
Question: Mr. Shaefer harvested 500 lychees in a carton and took them to the market. He sold half of them and took home the remaining number of lychees where they ate 3/5 of them. Calculate the number of lychees remaining.
Answer: At the market, Mr. Shaefer sold half of the lychees, which is 1 / 2 * 500 = 250. The remaining number of lychees is 500 - 250 = 250. At home, they ate 3 / 5 * 250 = 150 lychees. The total number of lychees remaining is 250 - 150 = 100. The answer is 100.
[Question]Betty and Dora started making some cupcakes at the same time. Betty makes 10 cupcakes every hour and Dora makes 8 every hour. If Betty took a two-hour break, what is the difference between the number of cupcakes they made after 5 hours?
[Answer]Dora made 8 cupcakes per hour for 5 hours for a total of 8 * 5 = 40 cupcakes. Betty took a 2 - hour break so she spent 5 - 2 = 3 hours making cupcakes. Betty made 10 cupcakes per hour for 3 hours for a total of 10 * 3 = 30 cupcakes. The difference between the number of cupcakes they made is 40 - 30 = 10 cupcakes. The answer is 10.

Question: The teacher agrees to order pizza for the class. For every student in the class, she will buy 2 pieces of cheese and 1 piece of onion and they will eat exactly that amount. A large pizza has 18 slices. She orders 6 total pizzas and there are 8 pieces of cheese and 4 pieces of onion leftover. How many students are in the class?
Answer:
Cheese pizzas are 2 / 3 of the pizza's purchased because 2 / (2 + 1) = 2 / 3. She buys 4 cheese pizzas because 6 x (2 / 3) = 4. These give her 72 pieces of cheese pizza because 4 x 18 = 72. The students at 64 pieces of cheese because 72 - 8 = 64. There are 32 students in her class because 64 / 2 = 32. The answer is 32.
