[Question]If John travels 15 miles on a bike ride, and Jill travels 5 miles less, how many miles does Jim travel if he travels only 20% as far as Jill?
[Answer]To find how far Jim travels, we must first find out how far Jill did. To do this, we perform 15 - 5 = 10 miles in total for Jill. We then multiply 10 * .20 = 2 miles in total for Jim, since he only traveled 20% of the distance Jill did. The answer is 2.
Q: Zain has 10 more of each coin than Emerie. If Emerie has six quarters, seven dimes, and five nickels, how many coins does Zain have?
A: If Emerie has six quarters, Zain has 6 + 10 = 16 quarters. At the same time, Zain has 7 + 10 = 17 dimes, ten more than Emerie. The total number of quarters and dimes Zain has is 17 + 16 = 33 coins. Zain also has 10 more nickels than Emerie, a total of 10 + 5 = 15 nickels. In total, Zain has 33 + 15 = 48 coins. The answer is 48.
Question: Each frog needs to eat 30 flies per day to live. Each fish needs to eat 8 frogs per day to live. Each gharial needs to eat 15 fish a day to live. How many flies get eaten every day in this swamp if it has 9 gharials?
Answer: First find the number of fish the gharials need to eat: 9 gharials * 15 fish / gharial = 135 fish. Then find the number of frogs by multiplying that quantity by the number of frogs per fish: 135 fish * 8 frogs / fish = 1080 frogs. Then multiply the number of frogs by the number of flies each frog eats to find the number of flies: 1080 frogs * 30 flies / frog = 32,400. The answer is 32400.
[Question]A company is hosting a seminar. So far, 30 attendees from company A have been registered; company B has twice the number of attendees of company A; company C has 10 more attendees than company A; company D has 5 fewer attendees than company C. If a total of 185 attendees have registered, how many attendees who registered are not from either company A, B, C or D?
[Answer]There are 30 x 2 = 60 attendees from company B. Company C has 30 + 10 = 40 attendees. Company D has 40 - 5 = 35 registered attendees. So, the total attendees from company A, B, C, and D is 30 + 60 + 40 + 35 = 165. Therefore there are 185 - 165 = 20 attendees that are not from companies A, B, C, or D. The answer is 20.

Question: Barbara asked the butcher for 4 1/2 pound steaks that cost $15.00/pound. She also asked for a pound and half of chicken breasts that were $8.00 a pound. How much did she spend at the butchers?
Answer:
She ordered 4 1 / 2 pound steaks so that's 4 * .5 = 2 pounds of steak. The steak cost $15.00 a pound and she bought 2 pounds so that's 15 * 2 = $30.00 for 4 steaks. She also needed 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts at $8.00 a pound so that's 1.5 * 8 = $12.00 for chicken. The steaks cost $30.00 and the chicken cost $12.00 for a total of 30 + 12 = $42.00 spent at the butchers. The answer is 42.
