Question: On their way driving to Los Angeles, Benjamin and James see lots of billboard ads. Curious, Benjamin starts to count how many they see. In the first hour once he starts counting he counts 17 billboards. In the second hour once he starts counting he sees 20 billboards. In the third hour he sees 23 billboards. James asks Benjamin the average number of billboards they've seen per hour. What should Benjamin tell him?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Benjamin counts 17 + 20 + 23 = 60 billboards total on the way to Los Angeles. Benjamin saw those billboards over 3 hours, so the average number of billboards per hour they saw 60 / 3 = 20 billboards per hour.
So the answer is 20.

Question: Stefan goes to a restaurant to eat dinner with his family. They order an appetizer that costs $10 and 4 entrees that are $20 each. If they tip 20% of the total for the waiter, what is the total amount of money that they spend at the restaurant?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The total cost of the entrees is 4 * $20 = $80. The total cost of the dinner is $80 + $10 = $90. The tip is $90 * 0.20 = $18. The total cost with tip is $90 + $18 = $108.
So the answer is 108.

Question: Eustace is twice as old as Milford. In 3 years, he will be 39. How old will Milford be?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Eustace’s current age must be 39 years old – 3 years = 36 years old. So Milford’s current age must be 36 years old / 2 = 18 years old. So in 3 years, Milford will be 18 years old + 3 years = 21 years old.
So the answer is 21.

Question: Ten more than twice the number of birds on the fence is 50. How many birds are on the fence?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Let x be the number of birds on the fence. We know that 10 + 2 * x = 50. Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get 2 * x = 50 - 10 = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 20.
So the answer is 20.
