Q: Bella has two times as many marbles as frisbees. She also has 20 more frisbees than deck cards. If she buys 2/5 times more of each item, what would be the total number of the items she will have if she currently has 60 marbles?
A: 140
Step-by-step reasoning process: When Bella buys 2 / 5 times more marbles, she'll have increased the number of marbles by 2 / 5 * 60 = 24. The total number of marbles she'll have is 60 + 24 = 84. If Bella currently has 60 marbles, and she has two times as many marbles as frisbees, she has 60 / 2 = 30 frisbees. If Bella buys 2 / 5 times more frisbees, she'll have 2 / 5 * 30 = 12 more frisbees. The total number of frisbees she'll have will increase to 30 + 12 = 42. Bella also has 20 more frisbees than deck cards, meaning she has 30 - 20 = 10 deck cards. If she buys 2 / 5 times more deck cards, she'll have 2 / 5 * 10 = 4 more deck cards. The total number of deck cards she'll have is 10 + 4 = 14. Together, Bella will have a total of 14 + 42 + 84 = 140 items.


Q: At a birthday party, there are 20 red balloons and 15 green balloons. Before the party started, 3 red and 2 green balloons burst. How many balloons are left?
A: 30
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are a total of 20 + 15 = 35 balloons at the party. Out of the 35, 3 + 2 = 5 balloons burst. Thus, only 35 - 5 = 30 balloons are left.


Q: Diane bought twenty more apples than Cecile. If Cecile bought 15 apples, how many apples did they buy altogether?
A: 50
Step-by-step reasoning process: Diane bought 15 + 20 = 35 apples. Therefore, they bought 15 + 35 = 50 apples altogether.


Q: If Stu has 9 books and Albert has 4 times as many books as Stu, how many books do Stu and Albert have in total?
A: 45
Step-by-step reasoning process: Albert has 4 * 9 books belonging to Stu = 36 books. So the pair have a combined total of 36 books belonging to Albert + 9 books belonging to Stu = 45 books.
