Question: Nancy and Rose are making bracelets, and there are eight beads in each bracelet. Nancy has 40 metal beads and 20 more pearl beads. Rose has 20 crystal beads and twice as many stone beads as crystal beads. How many bracelets can Nancy and Rose make?
Answer: Nancy has 40 + 20 = 60 pearl beads. So, Nancy has a total of 40 + 60 = 100 beads. Rose has 2 x 20 = 40 stone beads. So, Rose has 20 + 40 = 60 beads. Thus, Nancy and Rose have 100 + 60 = 160 beads altogether. Therefore, they can make 160 / 8 = 20 bracelets. The answer is 20.
[Question]Ms. Estrella is an entrepreneur with a startup company having 10 employees. The company makes a revenue of $400000 a month, paying 10% in taxes, 5% of the remaining amount on marketing and ads, 20% of the remaining amount on operational costs, and 15% of the remaining amount on employee wages. Assuming each employee receives the same wage, calculate the amount of money each employee is paid monthly.
[Answer]The company pays a total of 10 / 100 * $400000 = $40000 on taxes. After taxes, the company revenue is $400000 - $40000 = $360,000. The costs of marketing and ads campaign are 5 / 100 * $360000 = $18000. After deducting the costs of marketing and adds campaign, the company remains with = $342,000 in revenue. Operational costs for the company are 20 / 100 * $342000 = $68400. After taking out the operational costs, the company remains with $342000 - $68400 = $273600. The company also pays employee wages of 15 / 100 * $273600 = $41040. If the total number of employees is 10, each employee is paid a salary of $41040 / 10 = $4104 per month. The answer is 4104.

A: The number of males in the party was 2 males / 3 guests * 60 guests = 40 males. If the total number of people at the party was 60, then there were 60 guests - 40 males = 20 females. The answer is 20.
Question: Joshua bought 25 oranges for $12.50. If he sells each one for 60c, how much profit in cents will he make on each orange?
Answer: $1 is equivalent to 100 cents so $12.50 is equivalent to 100 * 12.50 = 1250 cents. He bought 25 oranges for 1250 cents so each orange cost 1250 / 25 = 50 cents each. If he sells each orange for 60 cents, he is making a profit of 60 - 50 = 10 cents on each one. The answer is 10.
[Question]Wilson decides to go sledding on some nearby hills. On the 2 tall hills, he sleds down them 4 times each and on the 3 small hills, he sled down them half as often as he sleds down the tall hills. How many times did he sled down the hills?
[Answer]On the tall hills, he sleds down 2 tall hills * 4 times per tall hill = 8 times. He sleds down the small hills half as often so he sleds down each hill 4 times per tall hill / 2 = 2 times per small hill. On the small hills, he sleds down 3 small hills * 2 times per small hill = 6 times. So in total, Wilson sled down the hills 8 times on tall hills + 6 times on small hills = 14 times. The answer is 14.
[Question]Natalia is riding a bicycle for the cycling competition. On Monday she rode 40 kilometers and on Tuesday 50 kilometers. On Wednesday she rode 50% fewer kilometers than the day before. On Thursday she rode as many as the sum of the kilometers from Monday and Wednesday. How many kilometers did Natalie ride in total?
[Answer]
On Wednesday she covered half of the distance from Tuesday, so 50 / 2 = 25 kilometers. On Thursday she rode 40 + 25 = 65 kilometers. In total, Natalia rode 40 + 50 + 25 + 65 = 180 kilometers. The answer is 180.
