Question: Jane brings 75% as many pieces of bread as treats to feed the live pets at the zoo. Wanda brings half as many treats as Jane and three times as many pieces of bread as treats. If Wanda brings 90 pieces of bread, what is the total number of pieces of bread and treats that Wanda and Jane brought to the zoo?
Answer: Wanda brought 90 pieces of bread, three times the number of treats, so Wanda brought 90 / 3 = 30 treats. Wanda brought half as many treats as Jane, which means Jane brought 30 * 2 = 60 treats. The total number of pieces of bread Jane brought is 75% of the number of treats, which means Jane brought 0.75 * 60 = 45 pieces of bread. Wanda and Jane brought a total of 30 treats + 60 treats + 45 pieces of bread + 90 pieces of bread = 225. The answer is 225.
[Question]Yesterday, the newly opened animal shelter received their first 60 animals. They got 20 more cats than dogs. How many cats did they take in?
[Answer]Let c be the number of cats and let d be the number of dogs. We know that c = 20 + d and that the total number of animals is c + d = 60. Replacing c gives 20 + d + d = 60 animals. Combining like terms and subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 2d = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get d = 40 / 2 = 20. The shelter therefore received 20 + 20 = 40 cats. The answer is 40.
Q: Mr. Banks and Ms. Elizabeth are entrepreneurs who invest in different income streams and earn revenue from the investments. From each of his eight investments, Mr. Banks received $500 in revenue. Ms. Elizabeth also received $900 from each of her 5 investment streams. How much more money did Ms. Elizabeth make from her investments than Mr. Banks?
A: Since Mr. Banks had 8 investment streams and each brought in a revenue of $500, he earned 500 * 8 = $4000 from all of his investments. Ms Elizabeth also received $900 * 5 = $4500 in revenue from her 5 income streams,. The total amount of money that Ms. Elizabeth made more than Mr. Banks is $4500 - $4000 = $500. The answer is 500.
