Q: Kyle has a newspaper-delivery route. Every Monday through Saturday, he delivers the daily paper for the 100 houses on his route. On Sunday, 10 of his customers do not get the Sunday paper, but he delivers 30 papers to other houses that get the newspaper only on Sunday. How many papers does Kyle deliver each week?
A: He delivers 6 * 100 = 600 papers. On Sunday, he delivers an additional 100 - 10 + 30 = 120 papers. He delivers a total of 600 + 120 = 720 papers each week. The answer is 720.
Question: In twenty years, Ramon will be twice as old as Loui today. If Loui is currently 23 years old, how old is Ramon now?
Answer: If Loui is currently 23 years old, twice her age, which is the same as twice Ramon's age in twenty years, is 23 * 2 = 46. If in twenty years Ramon will be 46, currently he is 46 - 20 = 26 years old. The answer is 26.
[Question]1 chocolate bar costs $1.50 and can be broken into 3 sections to make 3 s'mores. Ron is hosting a boy scout camp out in his backyard for 15 scouts. He wants to make sure that there are enough chocolate bars for everyone to have 2 s'mores each. How much will he spend on chocolate bars?
[Answer]There are 15 scouts and Ron wants to make sure they each get 2 s'mores a piece, for a total of 15 * 2 = 30 s'mores. 1 chocolate bar can make 3 s'mores and he wants to have enough for 30 s'mores, so he needs 30 / 3 = 10 chocolate bars. Each chocolate bar costs $1.50 and he needs 10, for a total of 1.5 * 10 = $15.00. The answer is 15.
Q: John and Anna bought some eBook readers. John bought 15 eBook readers less than Anna did. Unfortunately, John lost 3 eBook readers. If Anna bought 50 eBook readers, how many eBook readers do they have altogether?

Question: John and James decided to have a dance-off. John danced for 3 hours and then another 5 hours after taking a 1-hour break. James danced the whole time John was dancing and resting, and then another 1/3 times more hours. How long was their combined dancing time without including John's break time?
Answer: John dances 3 + 5 = 8 hours. John's total time is 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 hours. James dances 9 / 3 = 3 hours longer than that. So James dances 9 + 3 = 12 hours. So the total dancing time is 8 + 12 = 20 hours. The answer is 20.
Q: Mo is buying valentine's day cards for the class. There are 30 students and he wants to give a Valentine to 60% of them. They cost $2 each. If he has $40, what percentage of his money will he spend on Valentine?
A:
He needs 18 valentine's cards because 30 x .6 = 18. He will spend $36 on these because 18 x 2 = 36. The proportion of his income spent is .9 because 36 / 40 = .9. This is 90% of his income because .9 x 100 = 90. The answer is 90.
