[Question]Tate has 32 tickets for a particular game. He then buys two more tickets for the game. His friend Peyton, who has half as many total tickets, drives with him to the game. How many tickets do Tate and Peyton have together?
[Answer]When Tate bought 2 more tickets, the total number of tickets he has increased to 32 + 2 = 34 tickets. Peyton has half as many tickets, meaning he has 1 / 2 * 34 = 17 tickets. Together, they have 34 + 17 = 51 tickets. The answer is 51.

Question: Nancy's ex owes her child support. He's supposed to pay 30% of his income each year. For 3 years, he made $30,000/year, then he got a 20% raise for the next four years. If he's only ever paid $1,200, how much does he owe her?
Answer: First find how much money the ex made during the first 3 years by multiplying his annual earnings by the number of years: 3 years * $30,000 / year = $90,000 / . Then find how much his raise was by multiplying his salary by the percentage raise: $30,000 / year * 20% = $6,000 / year. Then add the raise to his original salary to find his new salary: $6,000 / year + $30,000 / year = $36,000 / year. Then find how much he made working at the new salary by multiplying it by the 4 years he worked: 4 years * $36,000 / year = $144,000. Add his earnings from the three years and the four years to find his total earnings: $144,000 + $90,000 = $234,000. Now multiply his total earnings by 30% to find how much he was supposed to pay: $234,000 * 30% = $70,200. Now subtract the amount he paid from this number to find how much he owes: $70,200 - $1,200 = $69,000. The answer is 69000.
[Question]The Ravenswood forest has four times as many gnomes as the Westerville woods. If there are 20 gnomes in Westerville woods, how many gnomes would remain in Ravenswood forest if 40% of the gnomes are taken for use by the forest owner?
[Answer]If there 20 gnomes in Westerville woods, the Ravenswood forest has 4 * 20 = 80 gnomes. If 40% of gnomes in the Ravenswood forest are taken for use by the owner of the forest, the number of gnomes will reduce by 40 / 100 * 80 = 32. The number of gnomes that will remain is 80 - 32 = 48. The answer is 48.

Question: Tenisha had 40 dogs that she kept at home as pets. If 60% of them are female, and 3/4 of the female gives birth to 10 puppies each, calculate the total number of puppies that Tenisha remains with after donating 130 puppies to the church.
Answer:
If Tenisha has 40 dogs, the number of female dogs is 60 / 100 * 40 = 24. 3 / 4 of the females give birth, meaning 3 / 4 * 24 = 18 female dogs gives birth to puppies. Since each dog that gave birth had 10 puppies, the number of puppies that were born is 18 * 10 = 180. After donating 130 puppies to the church, Tenisha remained with 180 - 130 = 50 puppies. The answer is 50.
