Q: Eric sorted 150 colored pencils into 5 containers for his art class. Before class, another teacher brought him 30 more pencils. How many can he evenly distribute between the five containers now?
A: 36
Step-by-step reasoning process: Before the extra colored pencils, he had 150 / 5 = 30 colored pencils in each container. With the other colored pencils, he is given he now has 150 + 30 = 180 colored pencils. If you distribute them evenly each container should have 180 / 5 = 36 colored pencils.


Q: Joey has 30 pages to read for history class tonight. He decided that he would take a break when he finished reading 70% of the pages assigned. How many pages must he read after he takes a break?

Q: After collecting all the old electronics in their house, Lauryn made $2000 from selling the items on eBay. If her friend Aurelia also made 70% of what she sold on eBay after selling her used electronics, calculate the total amount of money the two friends made on eBay.
A: 3400
Step-by-step reasoning process: If Lauryn made $2000 from eBay, then her friend made 70 / 100 * $2000 = $1400. In total, the two friends made $2000 + $1400 = $3400.


Q: A coffee shop brews 10 coffee cups per hour on a weekday and 120 coffee cups in total over the weekend. If the coffee shop is open 5 hours a day every single day, how many coffee cups are brewed in 1 week?
A: 370
Step-by-step reasoning process: On a weekday, the shop produces 10 coffee cups per hour * 5 hours per weekday = 50 coffee cups. The coffee shop therefore brewed 50 coffee cups per day * 5 weekdays in a week = 250 coffee cups. So in total, the coffee shop brewed a total of 250 weekday coffee cups + 120 weekend coffee cups = 370 coffee cups in 1 week.
