Answer the following question.
For every 100 additional people that board a spaceship, its speed is halved. If the speed of the spaceship with 200 people on board is 500km per hour, what is its speed in km/hr when there are 400 people on board?
Step-by-step reasoning process: For every addition of 100 people added the speed is halved so for the first 100 people added its speed is 1 / 2 * 500 km / hr = 250 km / hr. For another addition of 100 people its speed is also halved, 1 / 2 * 250 km / hr = 125 km / hr. So for the total of 200 additional people, its speed is 125 km / hr.
The answer is 125.

Answer the following question.
Lola plays basketball on her school team. Her team scored twice at many points at their last home game than their first away game. At the second away game, they scored eighteen points more than the previous away game. At the third away game, they scored two more points than at their second. If Lola’s team scored 62 points at their last home game, how many points do they have to score in their next game to bring their cumulative points up to four times the score from their last home game?
Step-by-step reasoning process: At their following away game, Lola’s team scored half as many points as at their home game, so they scored 62 / 2 = 31 points. At the second away game, they scored 31 + 18 = 49 points. At the third away game, they scored 49 + 2 = 51 points. A cumulative score of four times their last home game is 4 * 62 = 248 points. Thus, Lola’s team has to score 248 - 193 = 55 points to bring their cumulative points up to 248.
The answer is 55.

Answer the following question.
Three builders build a single floor of a house in 30 days. If each builder is paid $100 for a single day’s work, how much would it cost to hire 6 builders to build 5 houses with 6 floors each?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 6 builders can build a single floor 6 builders / 3 builders = 2 times as fast as 3 builders. Thus 6 builders would build a single floor in 30 days / 2 = 15 days. There are 5 hours x 6 floors / house = 30 floors in total in 5 houses with 6 floors each. Therefore 6 builders would complete the project in 15 days / floor x 30 floors = 450 days. It would cost 450 days x $100 / day / builder * 6 builders = $270000 to complete the project.
The answer is 270000.

Answer the following question.
Frank goes to the store to buy some food. He buys 5 chocolate bars and 2 bags of chips. He hands the cashier $20 and gets $4 back as change. If the chocolate bars each cost $2, how much did each bag of chips cost?
Step-by-step reasoning process: His entire purchase cost $20 - $4 = $16. The chocolate bars cost 5 * $2 = $10. The bags of chips cost a total of $16 - $10 = $6. Each bag of chips cost $6 / 2 = $3.
The answer is 3.
