Question and rationale: The question is: Tom has a quarter as much money as Nataly. Nataly has three times as much money as Raquel. How much money do Tom, Raquel, and Nataly have combined if Raquel has $40?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Nataly has 3 times as much money as Raquel, she has 3 * $40 = $120. Tom has 1 / 4 as much money as Nataly, so he has 1 / 4 * $120 = $30. Combined, the three have $30 + $120 + $40 = $190.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Frank bakes two trays of cookies per day, for 6 days. Frank eats one cookie each day to make sure they taste good. Ted comes over on the sixth day and eats 4 cookies. If each tray makes 12 cookies, how many cookies are left when Ted leaves?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Frank bakes 2 * 12 = 24 cookies per day. Frank bakes a total of 24 * 6 = 144 cookies. Frank eats 1 * 6 = 6 cookies. After Ted leaves, there are 144 - 6 - 4 = 134.
