[Question]To eat to when she gets full, Michaela needs 20 oranges. Cassandra needs twice as many oranges as Michaela to eat until she gets full. If they picked 90 oranges from the farm today, how many oranges would remain after they've both eaten until they were full?
[Answer]Since Michaela needs 20 oranges to eat to her full, and Cassandra eats twice as much to have her full, Cassandra needs 2 * 20 = 40 oranges to eat. They eat 20 + 40 = 60 oranges together to have their fill. If they picked 90 oranges today, after eating 60 together, 90 - 60 = 30 oranges would remain. The answer is 30.

[Question]On her birthday, Avianna bought red candles and blue candles in the ratio of 5:3. If Avianna had 45 red candles on her birthday, how many blue candles did she have?
[Answer]If the ratio of red candles to blue candles Avianna bought was 5:3, then the total ratio was 5 + 3 = 8. If 5 represented 45 candles in the total ratio, then 8, the actual ratio, represents 8 * 45 = 360 divided by 5 is 360 / 5 = 72 candles. If the total number of candles was 72, then the number of blue candles is 72 candles - 45 candles = 27 candles. The answer is 27.

[Question]Two stores sell the same model of smartphone, but they offer it at different prices and with different discounts. Store A lists the smartphone at a full price of $125 and offers an additional discount of 8%. Store B lists the same smartphone for $130 and offers an additional discount of 10%. After both stores' discounts are applied, how much cheaper is store A's smartphone than store B's smartphone?
[Answer]Store A has a $125 x 8 / 100 = $10 discount. So the smartphone from store A will only cost $125 - $10 = $115. Store B has a $130 x 10 / 100 = $13 discount. So the smartphone from store B will only cost $130 - $13 = $117. Thus, store A's smartphone is $117 - $115 = $2 cheaper than that of store B. The answer is 2.

[Question]Melanie does her weekly shopping at the farmer's market. She starts with an 8-ounce wheel of brie cheese. Next is a 1 pound loaf of bread. She grabs a pound of tomatoes and 2 pounds of zucchini. After that, she grabs 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts and treats herself to 8 ounces of fresh raspberries and 8 ounces of fresh blueberries. How many pounds of food does she buy?
[Answer]
She bought 8ounces of cheese, 8 - ounce raspberries, 8 ounces of blueberries for a total of 8 * 3 = 24 ounces. 16 ounces are in 1 pound and she has 24 ounces of food so she has 24 / 16 = 1.5 pounds of food. Those items are 1.5 pounds and she bought 1 pound of bread, 1 pound of tomatoes, 2 pounds of zucchini and 1.5 pounds of chicken for a total of 1.5 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1.5 = 7 pounds of food. The answer is 7.
