Q: James buys $3000 worth of stuff from Amazon. He has to return a TV that cost $700 and a bike that cost $500. He also sells another bike that cost 20% more than the bike he returned for 80% of what he bought it for. He then buys a toaster for $100. How much is he out of pocket for everything?
A: The items he returned were valued at $700 + $500 = $1200. So far he is out 3000 - 1200 = 1800 after recouping 1200. An item that is 20% more expensive cost 1 + .2 = 1.2 times as much as the item. So that means the bike he sold cost $500 * 1.2 = $600. He sold it for $600 * .8 = $480. From the bike that he had bought for 600, he was out 600 - 480 = 120. So far he is out 1800 + 120 = 1920. If he also bought a toaster worth 100, he was out 1920 + 100 = 2020. The answer is 2020.

[Question]Milo's parents tell him that he can win cash rewards for good grades. He will get $5 times the average grade he gets. He gets three 2s, four 3s, a 4, and a 5. How much cash does he get?
[Answer]His total score is 27 because (3 x 2) + (4 x 3) + 4 + 5 = 27. His total number of grades is 9 because 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9. His average grade is a 3 because 27 / 9 = 3. He earns $15 because 5 x 3 = 15. The answer is 15.
Q: Myrtle’s 3 hens lay 3 eggs a day. She would be gone for 7 days and told her neighbor to take as many as they would like. The neighbor took 12 eggs. Once home, Myrtle collected the remaining eggs, dropping 5 on the way into her house. How many eggs does Myrtle have?
A: She has 3 hens that lay 3 eggs a day so they lay 3 * 3 = 9 eggs a day. The hens lay 9 eggs a day and she wasn't able to collect them for 7 days so that means there are 9 * 7 = 63 eggs. Her neighbor took 12 off the 63 eggs so that leaves 63 - 12 = 51 eggs. Myrtle dropped 5 of the remaining 51 eggs so she has 51 - 5 = 46 eggs. The answer is 46.
Question: There were 30 women and 20 men who attended the party. After few hours, 2/5 of the total number of people left. If 9 men left the party, how many more women stayed at the party than men?
Answer: There were 30 + 20 = 50 attendees at the party. A total of 50 x 2 / 5 = 20 people left the party. Nine of those who left were men while 20 - 9 = 11 of them were women. So, 30 - 11 = 19 women stayed at the party. And 20 - 9 = 11 men stayed at the party. Thus, 19 - 11 = 8 more women than men stayed at the party. The answer is 8.
