Q: Lola’s rabbits keep having kittens each spring. During the first spring, her 10 breeding rabbits had 10 times as many kittens as the number of breeding rabbits Lola has, and half of the kittens got adopted. 5 of them had to be returned to Lola due to re-homing problems. During the next spring, her 10 breeding rabbits only had a total of 60 kittens, with 4 of the kittens being adopted. Including the breeding rabbits, how many rabbits does Lola have in her house?
A: Lola’s breeding rabbits made 10 * 10 = 100 offspring. 100 / 2 = 50 got adopted. 5 offspring came back which made Lola have 50 + 5 = 55 of them. In the next spring, 60 - 4 = 56 new offspring stayed with Lola. In total, there are 55 + 56 = 111 offspring. Including the breeding rabbits, there are 111 + 10 = 121 rabbits in total. The answer is 121.
Question: Alfred is storing a tonne of maize each month for the next 2 years. If 5 tonnes are stolen and 8 tonnes are given to him as a donation, how many tonnes of maize does he have at the end of the 2 years.
Answer: Before his maize is stolen, the maize he stores at the end of 1 year is 12 * 1 = 12 tonnes of maize. Before his maize is stolen, the maize he stores at the end of 2 years is 12 * 2 = 24 tonnes of maize. After his maize is stolen, he is left with 24 - 5 = 19 tonnes of maize. After he receives the maize donation, he has 19 + 8 = 27 tonnes of maize. The answer is 27.
[Question]James was doing some shopping in his favorite shop and he saw an offer on shoes that give him a second pair of shoes for half off the original price. He took the offer and took the first pair of shoes for $40 and the second one for $60. At the cashier, the lady told him that the offer applies strictly to the cheaper pair of shoes, and also that he was selected for an extra discount of a fourth off the total amount. How much money did James end up paying for both pairs of shoes?
[Answer]The price of the cheaper pair after the discount was $40 / 2 = $20. The total price of both pairs of shoes $20 + $60 = $80. The final discount was $80 / 4 = $20. The price he ends up paying was $80 - $20 = $60. The answer is 60.
