Q: On a highway, the total number of vehicles passing is 300. If the number of cars on the highway is twice the number of trucks, find out the total number of trucks on the highway?
A: If we assume that the number of trucks on the highway is t, the number of cars on the highway will be 2 * t = 2t. The total number of cars and trucks on the road is 2t + t = 300. The number of vehicles on the road is 3t = 300. The are t = 300 / 3 trucks on the highway. This means there are t = 100 trucks on the road. The answer is 100.
Question: To produce one chocolate bar, a company needs 1.5 grams of sugar. Every minute the company produces 36 chocolate bars. How many grams of sugar will the company use in two minutes?

Q: In a shopping mall, one T-shirt costs $20 each; a pair of pants costs $80; a pair of shoes costs $150. All items will get a 10% discount. How much does Eugene have to pay if he buys four T-shirts, three pairs of pants, and two pairs of shoes?
A: The total cost of the four T - shirts is 4 x $20 = $80. Three pairs of pants cost 3 x $80 = $240. Two pairs of shoes cost 2 x $150 = $300. The total amount of all the items is $80 + $240 + $300 = $620. Thus, Eugene will get a discount of 10 / 100 x $620 = $62. Therefore, Eugene will have to pay $620 - $62 = $558. The answer is 558.
Question: Marta was about to start the school year and needed to buy the necessary textbooks. She managed to buy five on sale, for $10 each. She had to order two textbooks online, which cost her a total of $40, and three she bought directly from the bookstore for a total of three times the cost of the online ordered books. How much in total did Martha spend on textbooks?
Answer: Marta bought five textbooks on sale, for a total of 5 * 10 = $50. Three textbooks from the bookstore had a cost of 3 * 40 = $120. That means that Marta spent in total 50 + 40 + 120 = $210 on textbooks. The answer is 210.
Q: Marlon had 30 female baby bunnies in his hutch. They matured after four months, and he gave 2/5 of them to his friend Rodney. If after another three months the bunnies conceived and gave birth to 2 kittens each, calculate the total number of bunnies Marlon has in his hutch now.
A:
When he gave Rodney 2 / 5 of the bunnies, he gave away 2 / 5 * 30 = 12 bunnies. He remained with 30 - 12 = 18 bunnies. When the bunnies gave birth to two kittens each, the total number of kittens born is 18 * 2 = 36. In total, Marlon now has 36 + 18 = 54 bunnies. The answer is 54.
