[Question]Cupcakes are sold in packages of 10 and 15. Jean bought 4 packs of 15 cupcakes. If she will give one cupcake each to 100 children in the orphanage, how many packs of 10 cupcakes should she need to buy?
[Answer]Jean already bought 15 cupcakes x 4 packs = 60 cupcakes. She needs 100 - 60 = 40 more cupcakes. Thus, she needs to buy 40 / 10 = 4 packs of 10 cupcakes. The answer is 4.
Q: Janice opened an art book that she had found in the library and found 5 drawings on the first page. After opening the first ten pages, she realized that the number of drawings on each page increased by five after every page. How many drawings were in the first five pages?
A: If the first page had 5 drawings, and the number of drawings on each page increased by five, the second page had 5 + 5 = 10. The total number of drawings in the first 2 pages is 5 + 10 = 15. On the third page, the number of drawings increased to 10 + 5 = 15. The first three pages have a total of 15 + 15 = 30 drawings. The fourth page had 15 + 5 = 20 drawings. There are 30 + 20 = 50 drawings on the first four pages. The fifth page also had an extra 5 more drawings than the fourth page, totaling 20 + 5 = 25. For the first five pages, Janice saw 25 + 50 = 75 pages. The answer is 75.
Question: Donovan Mitchell is currently averaging 26 points per game. His team has played 15 games this season. He has a goal of averaging 30 points per game for the entire 20 game season. How many points does he need to average per game to reach his goal?
Answer: At this point in the season, Donovan has scored 26 * 15 = 390 points. To reach his goal of 30 points per game, he would have to finish the season with a total of 30 * 20 = 600 points. For the remaining 5 games, Donovan needs to score 600 - 390 = 210 points. Therefore, he needs to average 210 / 5 = 42 points per game. The answer is 42.

Q: Mary is counting the number of minnows in the pond. 40% of the minnows have red bellies, 30% have green bellies and the rest have white bellies. If 20 minnows have red bellies, how many minnows have white bellies?
A: First find the total number of minnows by dividing the number of red minnows by the percentage of minnows that are red: 20 minnows / 40% = 50 minnows. Then subtract the percentages of red - and green - bellied minnows to find the percentage of white - bellied minnows: 100% - 40% - 30% = 30%. Then multiply the total number of minnows by the percentage that have white bellies: 30% * 50 minnows = 15 minnows. The answer is 15.
