[Question]A phone factory makes twice as many phones as last year. Last year’s production was 5000 phones. If a quarter of this year’s production is sold, how many phones are left in the factory?
[Answer]This year’s total production is 5000 * 2 = 10000 phones. A quarter of this year’s production is 10000 / 4 = 2500 phones. The number of phones left after selling a quarter of the production is 10000 – 2500 = 7500 phones. The answer is 7500.

Question: It takes Omar 12 minutes to raise his kite 240 feet into the air. Jasper can raise his kite at three times the rate of speed as Omar can raise his kite. If Jasper raises his kite to a height of 600 feet, how many minutes will it take?
Answer: Jasper raises his kite at a rate of 240 feet in 12 minutes, or 240 / 12 = 20 feet per minute. Jasper raises his kite at three times the speed Omar does, or 3 * 20 = 60 feet per minute. To raise his kite 600 feet, it will take Jasper 600 / 60 = 10 minutes. The answer is 10.

Q: A baseball cap factory made 320 caps the first week, 400 the second week, and 300 the third week. If the company makes their average number of caps from the first 3 weeks during the fourth week, how many total caps will they make?
A: During the first 3 weeks the factory made 320 caps + 400 caps + 300 caps = 1020 caps total. The average for the first 3 weeks is 1020 caps / 3 weeks = 340. If the factor makes the average during the fourth week they will make 1020 caps + 340 = 1360 caps. The answer is 1360.
Question: Daisy is a poodle puppy who loves to play with her dog toys. She often loses them in various ways, and her owner needs to replace them. On Monday, Daisy played with 5 dog toys. On Tuesday, Daisy had 3 dog toys left after losing some, and her owner went to the store and got her 3 more. On Wednesday, all of Daisy's old and new dog toys were missing, so her owner went to the store and bought her 5 more.
