Q: Tom is playing a game and gets 10 points for killing an enemy. If he kills at least 100 enemies he gets a 50% bonus to his score. What was his total score if he killed 150 enemies?
A: He gets 150 * 10 = 1500 points. The bonus is worth 1500 * .5 = 750 points. So his total score is 1500 + 750 = 2250 points. The answer is 2250.
Question: Roger's age is 5 more than twice Jill's age. In 15 years, their age difference will be 30 years less than Finley's age. If Jill is 20 years old now, how old is Finley?
Answer: Twice Jill's age is 2 * 20 = 40. If Roger's age is 5 more than twice Jill's age, he is 5 + 40 = 45 years old. In 15 years, Jill will be 20 + 15 = 35 years old. Roger's age will be 45 + 15 = 60 years old in 15 years. The age difference between Roger and Jill in fifteen years will be 60 - 35 = 25 years. In 15 years, the age difference between Roger and Jill will be 30 years less than Finley's age, meaning in fifteen years Finley will be 30 + 25 = 55 years old. Currently, Finley is 55 - 15 = 40 years old. The answer is 40.

Q: Bob is building raised beds for his vegetable garden. Each bed is 2 feet high, 2 feet wide, and 8 feet long. The sides are going to be built of 1-foot wide planks. If Bob buys his lumber in 8-foot-long boards, planning to cut some of them for the shorter lengths he'll need, how many 8-foot long planks will he need to construct 10 raised beds?
A: Each raised bed is 8 feet long, the same as the planks, so the long sides of the beds will each be 1 plank long. Each raised bed is 2 feet wide, or 2 / 8 = 1 / 4 the length of the planks, so the short sides will each be 1 / 4 plank long. Each bed is 2 feet tall, and the planks are 1 foot wide, so each side will need 2 pieces of lumber of the same length. So each bed will require 2 * 2 * 1.25 = 4 * 1.25 = 5 planks of wood. Bob wants to build 10 raised beds, so he will need 10 * 5 = 50 planks of lumber. The answer is 50.
Question: Andy had a platter of chocolate cookies. He ate 3 of them then gave his little brother 5 because he was behaving. He then handed the platter to his basketball team of eight members. The first player to arrive took 1, the second player to arrive took 3, the third player took 5, and so on. When the last player took his share, the platter was empty. How many chocolate cookies did Andy have from start with?
Answer: Andy and his brother ate 5 + 3 = 8 cookies in total. The nth term of the sequence for the basketball players taking cookies in 2n - 1. The number of players is 8 so they would have eaten 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 = 64 cookies. In total Andy had 64 + 8 = 72 cookies to start with before they were all eaten. The answer is 72.
Q: Jenson and Kingsley have a tailoring business. Jenson makes 3 shirts, and Kingsley makes 5 pairs of pants per day. If each shirt uses 2 yards of fabric and a pair of pants uses 5 yards of fabric, how many yards of fabric do they need every 3 days?
A:
Jenson uses 2 x 3 = 6 yards of fabric for making shirts every day. Kingsley uses 5 x 5 = 25 yards of fabric every day for making pair of pants. So, the total yards of fabric they use per day is 25 + 6 = 31. Therefore, the total yards of fabric they use every 3 days is 31 x 3 = 93. The answer is 93.
