Q: Jonathan eats 2500 calories every day except for Saturday, when he consumes an extra 1000 calories. He burns 3000 calories every day. What is his weekly caloric deficit?
A: He consumes 2500 + 1000 = 3500 calories on Saturday. He consumes 2500 * 6 + 3500 = 18500 calories in the week. He burns 3000 * 7 = 21000 calories in the week. His caloric deficit is 21000 - 18500 = 2500 calories per week. The answer is 2500.
Question: Yvonne swims 10 laps in 5 minutes. Her younger sister can swim half as many laps as Yvonne in the same time frame. Their brother Joel can swim three times the number of laps as the youngest sister. How many laps can Joel swim?
Answer: Yvonne swims 10 laps in 5 minutes and her younger sister swims half as many laps in 5 minutes so she swims 10 / 2 = 5 laps in 5 minutes. Joel can swim 3 times the amount of his youngest sister’s 5 laps so he can swim 3 * 5 = 15 laps in 5 minutes. The answer is 15.
[Question]Susie babysits every day for 3 hours a day at the rate of $10 per hour. She spent 3/10 of the money she earned from last week to buy a make-up set. She then spent 2/5 of her money on her skincare products. How much is left from her earnings last week, in dollars?
[Answer]Susie earned $10 x 3 = $30 per day. Last week, she earned a total of $30 x 7 = $210. She spent $210 x 3 / 10 = $63 on make - up. While she spent $210 x 2 / 5 = $84 on her skincare products. Thus, she spent a total of $63 + $84 = $147 from her earnings. Therefore, Susie is left with $210 - $147 = $63 from her earnings last week. The answer is 63.

Question: Bill and Ted went into the forest to gather some wild mushrooms. Bill gathered 12 red mushrooms and 6 brown mushrooms. Ted gathered 14 green mushrooms and 6 blue mushrooms. If half of the blue mushrooms, two-thirds of the red mushrooms, and all of the brown mushrooms have white spots, how many white-spotted mushrooms did they gather?
Answer:
Of the 12 red mushrooms, 2 / 3 had spots, for a total of (2 / 3) * 12 = 8 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 6 brown mushrooms, 100% had spots, for a total of (100 / 100) * 6 = 6 white - spotted mushrooms. Of the 14 green mushrooms, 0% had white spots, for a total of 14 * 0 = 0 white - spotted mushrooms. And of the 6 blue mushrooms, half had spots, for a total of (1 / 2) * 6 = 3 white - spotted mushrooms. In total, they gathered 8 + 6 + 0 + 3 = 17 white - spotted mushrooms. The answer is 17.
