Q: Caleb, Andy and Billy went on a picnic with their father. Billy took 6 candies with him, Caleb took 11 and Andy left with 9. On the way, their father bought a packet of 36 candies. He gave 8 candies to Billy, 11 to Caleb and the rest to Andy. How many more candies does Andy now have than Caleb?
A: 4
Step-by-step reasoning process: Billy took some candies and got more from his father for a total of 6 + 8 = 14 candies. Caleb has a total of 11 + 11 = 22 candies. Their father gave out 8 + 11 = 19 candies from a pack of 36. He gave the rest which is 36 - 19 = 17 candies to Andy. Andy has a total of 9 + 17 = 26 candies. Andy has 26 - 22 = 4 more candies than Caleb.


Q: A local farmer is paying 4 kids to help plant rows of corn. Every row of corn contains 70 ears. A bag of corn seeds contains 48 seeds and you need 2 seeds per ear of corn. He pays the kids $1.5 per row. Afterward, the kids are so hungry that they end up spending half their money on dinner. The dinner cost $36 per kid. How many bags of corn seeds did each kid use?
A: 140
Step-by-step reasoning process: The dinner cost $144 dollars because 4 x 36 = 144. The kids earned $288 in total because 144 x 2 = 288. They planted 192 rows of corn because 288 / 1.5 = 192. They planted 13,440 ears of corn in total because 192 x 70 = 13,440. They each planted 3,360 ears of corn because 13,440 / 4 = 3,360. They each planted 6,720 seeds because 3,360 x 2 = 6,720. They each used 140 bags of seeds because 6,720 / 48 = 140.


Q: Two days ago, Uncle Welly planted 50 roses on his vacant lot. Yesterday, he planted 20 more roses than the previous day. Today, he planted twice the number of roses than two days ago. How many roses did Uncle Welly plant in his vacant lot?
A: 220
Step-by-step reasoning process: Yesterday, Uncle Welly was able to plant 50 + 20 = 70 roses. Today, he planted 2 x 50 = 100 roses. Therefore, Uncle Welly has 50 + 70 + 100 = 220 roses planted on his vacant lot.


Q: Dean ordered 2 large pizzas that were each cut into 12 slices. His friends Frank and Sammy came over to enjoy some pizza and watch a movie. Dean was hungry and ate half of the Hawaiian pizza. Frank only ate 3 slices of Hawaiian pizza and Sammy ate a third of the cheese pizza. How many total slices were left over?
A: 11
Step-by-step reasoning process: 2 pizzas were ordered and had 12 slices each for a total of 2 * 12 = 24 slices. Dean ate 1 / 2 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12 / 2 = 6 slices were left over. Sammy ate 1 / 3 of a 12 sliced pizza so 12 / 3 = 4 slices were left over. Dean ate 6 slices, Sammy ate 4 and Frank had 3 so 6 + 4 + 3 = 13. They started with 24 slices and 13 slices so 24 - 13 = 11 slices left.
