Question: Eric sorted 150 colored pencils into 5 containers for his art class. Before class, another teacher brought him 30 more pencils. How many can he evenly distribute between the five containers now?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Before the extra colored pencils, he had 150 / 5 = 30 colored pencils in each container. With the other colored pencils, he is given he now has 150 + 30 = 180 colored pencils. If you distribute them evenly each container should have 180 / 5 = 36 colored pencils.
So the answer is 36.

Question: Tomorrow, Pete must finish paying off the last $90 he owes on a bike. He goes through his wallet and finds two $20 bills. Checking his pockets, he finds four $10 bills. Unhappy that he doesn't have the entire amount, he suddenly remembers that he has plastic bottles that can be returned to his local store for cash. If the store pays 50 cents for each bottle, how many bottles will Pete have to return to the store?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Pete’s wallet contains 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. The money in Pete’s pockets is 4 * 10 = 40 dollars. In total Pete has 40 + 40 = 80 dollars. He owes 90 dollars on the bike and therefore needs 90 - 80 = 10 more dollars. Since 50 cents is ½ dollar, then the number of bottles required to get 10 dollars is 10 / (1 / 2) = 10 * 2 = 20 bottles.
So the answer is 20.

Question: George had $100. He bought a shirt for $24 and he also bought a pair of socks. Then he had $65 left. How much is a pair of socks?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: George had $100 - $24 = $76 left after buying a shirt. Since he has $65 left after buying a pair of socks, then a pair of socks costs $76 - $65 = $11.
So the answer is 11.
