Q: Jordan picked 54 mangoes from his tree. One-third of the mangoes were ripe while the other two-thirds were not yet ripe. Jordan kept 16 unripe mangoes and gave the remainder to his sister who pickled them in glass jars. If it takes 4 mangoes to fill a jar, how many jars of pickled mangoes can Jordan's sister make?
A: Jordan picked 54 / 3 = 18 ripe mangoes. He picked 54 - 18 = 36 unripe mangoes. Jordan gave 36 - 16 = 20 unripe mangoes to his sister. Jordan's sister can make 20 / 4 = 5 jars of pickled mangoes. The answer is 5.
Question: Horatio is a poet composing sonnets for his lady fair. He believes it will take many of his sonnets to win her over. Each sonnet is fourteen lines long. His lady fair tells him to leave her alone after he reads her only seven sonnets, and Horatio is heartbroken over the 70 romantic lines he wrote that she never heard.

[Question]Teddy is a pillow-maker. He uses 3 less than 5 pounds of fluffy foam material to make each pillow. If Teddy has three tons of fluffy foam material, how many pillows can he make?
[Answer]Three less than 5 is 5 - 3 = 2. Since one ton is 2000 pounds, three tons is 2000 * 3 = 6000 pounds. Thus, in 6000 pounds, he can make 6000 / 2 = 3000 pillows. The answer is 3000.
Q: There are 192 soaps in a package. They put them in 2 big boxes. If each box contains 6 packages, how much soap do the 2 boxes contain in total?
A: Find how many soaps are in 1 box by multiplying the number of soaps per package by the number of packages per box: 192 * 6 = 1152 soaps. Then find how many soaps 2 boxes contain by multiplying the number of boxes by the number of soaps per box: 1152 * 2 = 2304 soaps. The answer is 2304.
Question: Piazzanos Pizzeria has a buy-1-get-1-free special on triple cheese pizzas, and a buy-2-get-1-free special on meat lovers pizzas. If the standard price for a pizza is $5, how much does it cost, in dollars, to purchase 10 triple cheese and 9 meat lovers pizzas using the special pricing?
Answer: Using buy - 1 - get - 1 - free pricing, it costs 1 * $5 = $5 to buy 2 triple cheese pizzas. At $5 per 2 pizzas, it costs $5 / 2 = $2.5 per triple cheese pizza. Using buy - 2 - get - 1 - free pricing, it costs 2 * $5 = $10 to buy 3 meat lovers pizzas. At $10 per three pizzas, it cost $10 / 3 = $3 and $1 / 3 per meat lovers pizza. With the buy - 1 - get - 1 - free pricing, 10 triple cheese pizzas are 10 * $2.5 = $25. With the buy - 2 - get - 1 - free pricing, 9 meat lovers pizzas are 9 * ($3 + $1 / 3) = $30. In total, for 10 triple cheese and 9 meat lovers pizzas, it will cost $25 + $30 = $55. The answer is 55.
