[Question]A group of 4 fruit baskets contains 9 apples, 15 oranges, and 14 bananas in the first three baskets and 2 less of each fruit in the fourth basket. How many fruits are there?
[Answer]For the first three baskets, the number of apples and oranges in one basket is 9 + 15 = 24. In total, together with bananas, the number of fruits in one basket is 24 + 14 = 38 for the first three baskets. Since there are three baskets each having 38 fruits, there are 3 * 38 = 114 fruits in the first three baskets. The number of apples in the fourth basket is 9 - 2 = 7. There are also 15 - 2 = 13 oranges in the fourth basket. The combined number of oranges and apples in the fourth basket is 13 + 7 = 20. The fourth basket also contains 14 - 2 = 12 bananas. In total, the fourth basket has 20 + 12 = 32 fruits. The four baskets together have 32 + 114 = 146 fruits. The answer is 146.
[Question]In a parking lot, there are cars and motorcycles. Each car has 5 wheels (including one spare) and each motorcycle has 2 wheels. There are 19 cars in the parking lot. Altogether all vehicles have 117 wheels. How many motorcycles are at the parking lot?
[Answer]
There are 19 cars at the lot, so there are 5 * 19 = 95 wheels of cars. So there are 117 - 95 = 22 wheels of motorcycles in the parking lot. Each motorcycle has 2 wheels, so that leaves us with 22 / 2 = 11 motorcycles in the parking lot. The answer is 11.
