Q: The Ravenswood forest has four times as many gnomes as the Westerville woods. If there are 20 gnomes in Westerville woods, how many gnomes would remain in Ravenswood forest if 40% of the gnomes are taken for use by the forest owner?
A: 48
Step-by-step reasoning process: If there 20 gnomes in Westerville woods, the Ravenswood forest has 4 * 20 = 80 gnomes. If 40% of gnomes in the Ravenswood forest are taken for use by the owner of the forest, the number of gnomes will reduce by 40 / 100 * 80 = 32. The number of gnomes that will remain is 80 - 32 = 48.


Q: Annie likes to eat cookies. She ate 5 cookies on Monday, two times more on Tuesday, and 40% more on Wednesday than on Tuesday. How many cookies did Annie eat during these three days?
A: 29
Step-by-step reasoning process: Annie ate 5 * 2 = 10 cookies on Tuesday. On Wednesday Annie ate 40 / 100 * 10 = 4 more cookies than on Tuesday. This means Annie ate on Wednesday 10 + 4 = 14 cookies. So in total during these three days Annie ate 5 + 10 + 14 = 29 cookies.


Q: In a fruit salad, there are raspberries, green grapes, and red grapes. There are seven more than 3 times the number of red grapes as green grapes. There are 5 less raspberries than green grapes. If there are 102 pieces of fruit in the salad, how many red grapes are in the salad?
A: 67
Step-by-step reasoning process: Green grapes = G. Red grapes = 3G + 7. Raspberries = G - 5. G + 3G + 7 + G - 5 = 102. 5G + 2 = 102. 5G = 100. G = 20. 3 * 20 + 7 = 67. There are 67 red grapes.


Q: Every Sunday, Sean picks up 1 almond croissant and 1 salami and cheese croissant that are $4.50 each. He also grabs a plain croissant for $3.00 and a loaf of focaccia for $4.00. On his way home he stops and picks up 2 lattes for $2.50 each. How much did he spend?
A: 21
Step-by-step reasoning process: The almond croissant and the salami and cheese croissant are $4.50 each so that's 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. He buys 2 lattes that are $2.50 each so that's 2 * 2.50 = $5.00. The flavored croissants are $9.00, the lattes are $5.00 and he also grabbed a plain croissant for $3.00 and focaccia for $4.00 for a total of 9 + 5 + 3 + 4 = $21.00.
