Q: Lola plays basketball on her school team. Her team scored twice at many points at their last home game than their first away game. At the second away game, they scored eighteen points more than the previous away game. At the third away game, they scored two more points than at their second. If Lola’s team scored 62 points at their last home game, how many points do they have to score in their next game to bring their cumulative points up to four times the score from their last home game?
A: At their following away game, Lola’s team scored half as many points as at their home game, so they scored 62 / 2 = 31 points. At the second away game, they scored 31 + 18 = 49 points. At the third away game, they scored 49 + 2 = 51 points. A cumulative score of four times their last home game is 4 * 62 = 248 points. Thus, Lola’s team has to score 248 - 193 = 55 points to bring their cumulative points up to 248. The answer is 55.
Question: On Monday, Sydney sends 5 texts each to Allison and Brittney. On Tuesday, she sends 15 texts to each of them. In total, how many texts did Sydney send to Allison and Brittney on both days?
Answer: Sydney sends 5 * 2 = 10 texts on Monday. Sydney sends 15 * 2 = 30 texts on Tuesday. In total, Sydney sends 10 + 30 = 40 texts on both days. The answer is 40.
[Question]A pen and pencil have a total cost of $6. If the pen costs twice as much as the pencil, what is the cost of the pen?
[Answer]Let x be the cost of the pencil. If the pen costs 2 times the cost of the pencil, then it costs 2x. Adding the cost of the pen and pencil we get 2x + x = 3x. Since the total cost is $6 then 3x = $6 therefore x = $6 / 3 = $2. One pen is equal to 2 * x which is 2 * $2 = $4. The answer is 4.
Q: John is performing in 3 plays. Each play has 5 Acts. He wears 2 wigs per act. Each wig cost $5. He drops one of the plays and sells all of the wigs for that play for $4. How much money did he spend?
A: He used 5 * 2 = 10 wigs per play. So in total, he used 10 * 3 = 30 wigs. They cost 30 * 5 = $150. He gets back 10 * 4 = $40 from selling the wigs. So he spent 150 - 40 = $110. The answer is 110.
Question: Faye had $20. Today, her mother gave her twice as much as her money. If she bought ten cupcakes at $1.50 each and five boxes of cookies at $3 per box, how much money did she have left?
Answer: Faye's mother gave her 2 x $20 = $40. So, Faye had a total of $20 + $40 = $60. Ten cupcakes cost 10 x $1.50 = $15. Five boxes of cookies cost 5 x $3 = $15. Thus, Faye spent $15 + $15 = $30. Therefore, Faye has $60 - $30 = $30 left. The answer is 30.
Q: In a big box, there are marbles in 4 colors. Inside, there are 20 red marbles. There are three times more green marbles than red. Yellow marbles make up 20% of the green marbles. How many marbles are of a different color if the total of all marbles in the box is three times more than the number of green marbles?
A:
There are 3 * 20 = 60 green marbles. There are 60 * 20 / 100 = 12 yellow marbles. In total there are 3 * 60 = 180 marbles. That leaves 180 - 20 - 60 - 12 = 88 marbles of another color in the box. The answer is 88.
