Question: Each of the three Morales sisters owns an orange grove that has 110 trees. Each orange tree produces medium-sized oranges. At harvest time, Gabriela's grove produced 600 oranges per tree, while Alba harvested 400 per tree. Each of Maricela's trees produced 500 oranges. With such a huge harvest, the sisters are thinking of making orange juice for sale. If it takes three medium-sized oranges to make 1 cup of juice, and then they sell each cup for $4, how much money will they make?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Gabriela's grove produced 600 oranges / tree * 110 trees = 66000 oranges. Alba’s grove produced 400 oranges / tree * 110 trees = 44000 oranges. Maricela's trees produced 500 oranges / tree * 110 trees = 55000 oranges. The Morales sisters therefore harvested a total of 66000 oranges + 44000 oranges + 55000 oranges = 165000 oranges. The oranges will therefore yield 165000 oranges / 3 oranges / cup = 55000 cups of juice. Total sales will be 55000 cups * $4 / cup = $220000.
So the answer is 220000.


Question: Jacoby wants to save money for a trip to Brickville. He needs to have $5000 total to go on his trip. He works a job earning $20 per hour and works 10 hours. He then finds he can sell cookies for $4 each, and he sells 24 pieces of cookies. With the money he has so far, he buys a lottery ticket for $10 and wins $500. Finally, he gets $500 from both of his sisters as a gift. How much more, in dollars, does Jacob need to go to Brickville?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Jacob earns $20 per hour * 10 hours = $200 for working. So he earns $4 each * 24 = $96 for the cookies. So far he has earned $200 + $96 = $296. He buys a lottery ticket so $296 - $10 = $286 was left in his money. After winning in a lottery, he had a total of $500 + $286 = $786. He gets $500 * 2 per sister = $1000 from her sisters. So he has so far $1000 + $786 = $1786. He needs $5000 - $1786 = $3214.
So the answer is 3214.


Question: A pool has 48 blue tiles and 32 red tiles. If the pool needs 100 tiles to be completed, how many more tiles are needed?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
The pool currently has 48 + 32 = 80 tiles. The pool needs 100 - 80 = 20 more tiles to be completed.
So the answer is 20.
