Question: In the school's library, there are 2300 different books. 80% of all the books are in English, but only 60% of these books were published in the country. How many English-language books have been published outside the country?
Answer: There are 80 / 100 * 2300 = 1840 books in English at the library. Out of these books, only 60 / 100 * 1840 = 1104 were published inside the country. So there are 1840 - 1104 = 736 books in English published outside of the country. The answer is 736.
[Question]Ann's favorite store was having a summer clearance. For $75 she bought 5 pairs of shorts for $7 each and 2 pairs of shoes for $10 each. She also bought 4 tops, all at the same price. How much did each top cost?
[Answer]She bought 5 shorts at $7 each so 5 * 7 = $35. She bought 2 pair of shoes at $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20. The shorts and shoes cost her 35 + 20 = $55. We know she spent 75 total and the shorts and shoes cost $55 which left a difference of 75 - 55 = $20. She bought 4 tops for a total of $20 so 20 / 4 = $5. The answer is 5.
Q: Janice's office is on the third floor, and she has to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get to her office. In a single day, she goes up the three flights of stairs 5 times, down the the three flights of stairs 3 times, and uses the elevator the remainder of the time. How many flights of stairs does Janice walk (up and down) in a single day?
A: Janice walks up 3 flights of stairs 5 times per day, for a total of 3 * 5 = 15 flights of stairs. Janice walks down 3 flights of stairs 3 times per day, for a total of 3 * 3 = 9 flights of stairs. In total, she walks 15 + 9 = 24 flights of stairs in a single day. The answer is 24.

[Question]Meena bakes 5 dozen cookies for the school’s bake sale. She sells 2 dozen cookies to her biology teacher, Mr. Stone. Her friend Brock buys 7 cookies, and her friend Katy buys twice as many as Brock. How many cookies does Meena have left?
[Answer]Meena bakes a total of 5 x 12 = 60 cookies. Mr. Stone buys 2 x 12 = 24 cookies. Brock buys 7 cookies, so Katy buys 2 x 7 = 14 cookies. Meena sells a total of 24 + 7 + 14 = 45 cookies. She has 60 - 45 = 15 cookies left. The answer is 15.
[Question]With 40 seconds left to play in the basketball game, the Dunkinville Hornets were leading the Fredingo Fireflies by a score of 86 to 74. In the remaining seconds in the game, the Fireflies scored 7 three-point baskets while holding the Hornets to only 2 two-point baskets to win the game. How many more points did the Fireflies score in the game than did the Hornets?
[Answer]
In the final 40 seconds, the Fireflies scored seven 3 - point baskets to improve their score by 3 * 7 = 21 points. Thus, the Fireflies final total was 74 + 21 = 95 points. In the final 40 seconds, the hornets scored an additional two 2 - point baskets to improve their score by 2 * 2 = 4 points. Thus, the Hornets final total was 86 + 4 = 90 points. The final difference in points between the two teams was 95 - 90 = 5 points. The answer is 5.
