Answer the following question.
Winwin won $50 in a lottery. She paid 20% for the tax and she paid $5 for the processing fee. How much was she able to take home?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Winwin paid $50 x 20 / 100 = $10 for the tax. So, she has $50 - $10 = 40 after paying the tax. Therefore, Winwin was able to take home $40 - $5 = $35 after she paid for the processing fee.
The answer is 35.

Answer the following question.
In the baking contest, three times as many people voted for the unicorn cake compared to the witch cake, and the number of votes for the dragon cake was 25 more than the number of votes for the witch cake. If 7 people voted for the witch cake, how many votes were cast total?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First find the number of votes for the unicorn cake: 7 votes * 3 = 21 votes. Then find the number of votes for the dragon cake: 25 votes + 7 votes = 32 votes. Then add the number of votes for each cake to find the total number of votes: 21 votes + 32 votes + 7 votes = 60 votes.
The answer is 60.

Answer the following question.
Prejean's speed in a race was three-quarters that of Rickey. If they both took a total of 70 minutes to run the race, calculate the total number of minutes that Rickey took to finish the race.
Step-by-step reasoning process: Let's say Rickey took t minutes to finish the race. If Prejean's speed in the race was three - quarters that of Rickey, and Rickey took t minutes to finish the race, the time that Prejean took to finish the race is 3 / 4 * t = 3 / 4t. Together, Rickey and Prejean took t + 3 / 4t = 70. They took 1 3 / 4 t hours = 70 to finish the race. This is 7 / 4t = 70. t = 70 * 4 / 7. The time that Rickey took to finish the race is t = 40 minutes.
The answer is 40.
