Q: Farmer Red has three milk cows: Bess, Brownie, and Daisy. Bess, the smallest cow, gives him two pails of milk every day. Brownie, the largest cow, produces three times that amount. Then Daisy makes one pail more than Bess. How many pails of milk does Farmer Red get from them each week?
A: Bess produces 2 pails every day. Brownie produces 3 times as much * 2 = 6 pails every day. Daisy produces 2 + 1 more pail than Bess = 3 pails every day. Bess, Brownie, and Daisy together produce 2 + 6 + 3 = 11 pails every day. A week is 7 days, so Farmer Red gets 11 * 7 = 77 pails each week. The answer is 77.
Question: Wendi brought home 4 chickens. After a few days, she brought home enough additional chickens to double the number of chickens she owned. Then, a neighbor's dog ate one of her chickens. Finally, Wendi found an additional 4 less than ten chickens and brought them home too. After this, how many chickens does Wendi have?
Answer: Wendi doubled her number of chickens from 4 to 4 * 2 = 8 chickens. After a dog ate one of the chickens, 8 - 1 = 7 chickens remained. 4 less than 10 is 10 - 4 = 6. Therefore, Wendi added another 4 less than ten chickens for a total of 7 + 6 = 13 chickens. The answer is 13.
[Question]Bob runs 6 miles per hour. His friend Jim runs at 9 miles per hour. If Bob has a 1 mile head-start, how many minutes will it take before Jim catches him?
[Answer]Bob runs .1 miles per minute because 6 / 60 = .1. Jim run at .15 miles per minute 9 / 60 = .15. We know that .1(Number of Minutes) + 1 = .15(Number of Minutes). Therefore 1 = .05(Number of minutes). Therefore (Number of minutes) = 20 because 1 / .05 = 20. The answer is 20.

Q: A movie ticket costs $5. The cost of the popcorn is 80% of the cost of the ticket and a can of soda costs 50% of the cost of the popcorn. A family bought 4 tickets, 2 sets of popcorn, and 4 cans of soda. How much did they spend?
A:
The cost of the popcorn is $5 x 80 / 100 = $4. The cost of a can of soda is $4 x 50 / 100 = $2. The cost of 4 tickets is $5 x 4 = $20. The cost of 2 sets of popcorn is $4 x 2 = $8. The cost of 4 cans of soda is $2 x 4 = $8. Therefore, the family paid a total of $20 + $8 + $8 = $36. The answer is 36.
