Answer the following question.
Two athletes decided to compete to see who had the best jumping ability. They were each going to do the long jump, triple jump, and high jump to see who had the highest average jump. The first athlete jumped 26 feet in the long jump, 30 feet in the triple jump, and 7 feet in the high jump. The second athlete jumped 24 feet in the long jump, 34 feet in the triple jump, and 8 feet in the high jump. What was the average jump of the winner?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first athlete jumped a total of 63 feet because 26 + 30 + 7 = 63. The second athlete jumped a total of 66 feet because 24 + 34 + 8 = 66. The first athlete jumped 21 feet on average because 63 / 3 = 21. The second athlete jumped 22 feet on average because 66 / 3 = 22. The average jump of the winner was 22 feet because 22 > 21.
The answer is 22.

Answer the following question.
Jenny collects cans and bottles to take down to the recycling center. Each bottle weighs 6 ounces and each can weighs 2 ounces. Jenny can carry a total of 100 ounces. She collects 20 cans and as many bottles as she can carry. If she gets paid 10 cents per bottle and 3 cents per can, how much money does she make (in cents)?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First, the weight of 20 cans is 20 cans * 2 oz per can = 40 oz. Thus, Jenny has the capacity to carry 100 oz - 40 oz = 60 oz of bottles. Jenny can carry 60 oz / 6 oz per bottle = 10 bottles. Jenny earns 10 bottles * 10 cents per bottle = 100 cents for the bottles. Jenny earns 20 cans * 3 cents per can = 60 cents for the cans. In total, she earns 100 cents + 60 cents = 160 cents.
The answer is 160.

Answer the following question.
Jonathan ran 7.5 kilometers. Mercedes ran twice that distance and Davonte ran 2 kilometers farther than Mercedes. How many kilometers did Mercedes and Davonte run in total?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mercedes = 2 * 7.5 = 15 km. Davonte = 15 + 2 = 17 km. 15 + 17 = 32 km. Mercedes and Davonte ran 32 km in total.
The answer is 32.

Answer the following question.
Tara is saving up to buy a new clarinet. She already has $10 saved. The clarinet costs $90. She plans to sell her old books to make the money. She sells each book of hers for $5. However, when she is halfway towards her goal, she loses all her savings and has to start over. How many books does she sell in total by the time she reaches her goal?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Halfway towards her goal is $45 because 90 / 2 = 45. She sells $35 worth of books before she loses the money because 45 - 10 = 35. She sells 7 books before losing her money because 35 / 7 = 5. She then sells 18 books because 90 / 5 = 18. She sells 25 books in total because 18 + 7 = 25.
The answer is 25.
