Question: Tom has a quarter as much money as Nataly. Nataly has three times as much money as Raquel. How much money do Tom, Raquel, and Nataly have combined if Raquel has $40?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Nataly has 3 times as much money as Raquel, she has 3 * $40 = $120. Tom has 1 / 4 as much money as Nataly, so he has 1 / 4 * $120 = $30. Combined, the three have $30 + $120 + $40 = $190.
So the answer is 190.

Question: Linda makes $10.00 an hour babysitting. There is a $25.00 application fee for each college application she submits. If she is applying to 6 colleges, how many hours will she need to babysit to cover the application fees?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The application fee is $25.00 per college and she is applying to 6 colleges so that's 25 * 6 = $150.00. She makes $10.00 an hour babysitting. Her application fees total $150.00 so she needs to work 150 / 10 = 15 hours to cover the cost.
So the answer is 15.

Question: Frank bakes two trays of cookies per day, for 6 days. Frank eats one cookie each day to make sure they taste good. Ted comes over on the sixth day and eats 4 cookies. If each tray makes 12 cookies, how many cookies are left when Ted leaves?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Frank bakes 2 * 12 = 24 cookies per day. Frank bakes a total of 24 * 6 = 144 cookies. Frank eats 1 * 6 = 6 cookies. After Ted leaves, there are 144 - 6 - 4 = 134.
So the answer is 134.
