Question: Marie has 4 notebooks with 20 stamps each. She also has two binders with 50 stamps each. If she decides to only keep 1/4 of the stamps, how many stamps can she give away?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Marie has 4 x 20 = 80 stamps from her notebooks. And she has 2 x 50 = 100 stamps from her binders. So she has a total of 80 + 100 = 180 stamps. Marie decided to keep 180 x 1 / 4 = 45 stamps only. Therefore, she can give away 180 - 45 = 135 stamps.
So the answer is 135.

Question: Nina makes one-of-a-kind jewelry and sells it at a local boutique. She charges $25.00 for her necklaces, $15.00 for bracelets and $10.00 for a pair of earrings. Over the weekend, she sold 5 necklaces, 10 bracelets, 20 earrings, and received 2 orders for a complete jewelry ensemble that Nina charged $45.00 for. How much money did she make over the weekend?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: She sold 5 necklaces at $25.00 apiece for a total of 5 * 25 = $125.00. She sold 10 bracelets for $15.00 each for a total of 10 * 15 = $150.00. She sold 20 earrings for $10.00 a pair for a total of 20 * 10 = $200.00. She sold 2 ensembles for $45.00 each for a total of 2 * 45 = $90.00. All total she made 125 + 150 + 200 + 90 = $565.00.
So the answer is 565.

Question: Avery opens a flower shop. She ties 8 bunches of flowers with 9 flowers in each bunch. How many bunches would she have if she put 12 flowers in each bunch instead?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: She has a total of 8 * 9 = 72 flowers. Dividing them in bunches of 12 will give her 72 / 12 = 6 bunches of flowers.
So the answer is 6.

Question: While Paul watches movies, he runs on his treadmill. He can run a mile in 12 minutes. He watches two movies, which are an average length of 1.5 hours. How many miles does he run?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: He runs for 3 hours because 2 x 1.5 = 3. He runs for 180 minutes because 3 x 60 = 180. He runs 15 miles because 180 / 12 = 15.
So the answer is 15.
