Question: An apple tree has three times as many apples as the number of plums on a plum tree. If Damien picks 3/5 of the fruits from the trees, calculate the total number of plums and apples remaining on the tree if there were 180 apples on the apple tree before Damien picked any of the fruits.
Answer: Initially, the were 180 / / 3 = 60 plums on the plum tree. When Damien picked 3 / 5 of the apples from the apple tree, he picked 3 / 5 * 180 = 108 apples. The number of apples remaining on the apple tree is 180 - 108 = 72. The number of plums that Damien picked from the plum tree is 3 / 5 * 60 = 36. The number of plums remaining on the plum tree is 60 - 36 = 24. The total number of fruits remaining on the trees is 72 apples + 24 plums = 96. The answer is 96.
[Question]Jackie loves to climb trees. She climbed a 1000 foot tall tree. Then she climbed 2 trees that were half as tall as the first tree. She finished by climbing a tree that was 200 feet taller than her first tree. What was the average height of the trees that Jackie climbed?
[Answer]Jackie climbed 2 trees that were 1 / 2 * 1000 feet = 500 feet tall each. Jackie climbed a final tree that was 1000 + 200 feet = 1200 feet. In total, the 4 trees Jackie climbed were 1000 feet + 500 feet + 500 feet + 1200 feet = 3200 feet. The average height tree that Jackie climbed was 3200 feet / 4 trees = 800 feet tall. The answer is 800.

Question: Malcolm works in a company where they normally pack 40 apples in a box, producing 50 full boxes per day. Operations went as normal in one week. But in the next week, they packed 500 fewer apples per day. What's the total number of apples packed in the two weeks?
Answer: In the first week, each day they pack 40 * 50 = 2000 apples. The total number of apples packed in the boxes is 2000 * 7 = 14000 apples in the first week. When 500 fewer apples were packed each day in the next week, the total became 2000 - 500 = 1500 apples per day. The total number of apples packed in the boxes that week is 1500 * 7 = 10500 apples. The total is 14000 + 10500 = 24500 apples for the two weeks. The answer is 24500.
Q: Sarah bought 12 lollipops filled with caramel for a total of 3 dollars. She offered to share one-quarter of the lollipops with her friend, Julie, but Julie insisted on reimbursing Sarah for the cost of the lollipops shared. How much money, in cents, did Julie give Sarah to pay for the shared lollipops?
A:
Since one dollar is 100 cents, then 3 dollars is 3 * 100 = 300 cents. The cost for one lollipop is 300 / 12 = 25 cents. One - quarter of the lollipops is 12 / 4 = 3 lollipops. At 25 cents per lollypop, 3 lolly’s cost 3 * 25 = 75 cents. The answer is 75.
