Q: Every room in a building has at least two windows and a maximum of 4 windows. There are 122 windows total. If 5 rooms have 4 windows and 8 rooms have 3 windows, how many rooms in the building have 2 windows?
A: 39
Step-by-step reasoning process: Since 5 rooms have 4 windows, this accounts for 20 windows because 4 * 5 = 20 windows. Since 8 rooms have 3 windows, this accounts for 24 windows because 8 * 3 = 24 windows. There are 78 windows left over because 122 - 20 - 24 = 78. Therefore, there are 39 rooms with 2 windows because 78 / 2 = 39.


Q: Janet's grades for her first semester of college were 90, 80, 70, and 100. If her semester 2 average was 82 percent, how much higher was her semester 1 average compared to her semester 2 average?
A: 3
Step-by-step reasoning process: First add all Janet's grade for the first semester of college: 90 + 80 + 70 + 100 = 340. Then divide that number by 4 to find her average grade: 340 / 4 = 85. Then subtract her semester 2 average to find the difference: 85 - 82 = 3.


Q: Teddy is a pillow-maker. He uses 3 less than 5 pounds of fluffy foam material to make each pillow. If Teddy has three tons of fluffy foam material, how many pillows can he make?
A: 3000
Step-by-step reasoning process: Three less than 5 is 5 - 3 = 2. Since one ton is 2000 pounds, three tons is 2000 * 3 = 6000 pounds. Thus, in 6000 pounds, he can make 6000 / 2 = 3000 pillows.


Q: On Monday Buddy has 30 baseball cards. On Tuesday Buddy loses half of them. On Wednesday Buddy buys 12 baseball cards. On Thursday he buys a third of what he had on Tuesday. How many baseball cards does he have on Thursday?
A: 32
Step-by-step reasoning process: On Tuesday Buddy has 30 / 2 = 15 baseball cards. On Wednesday Buddy has 15 + 12 = 27 baseball cards. On Thursday Buddy buys 15 / 3 = 5 baseball cards. On Thursday Buddy has a total of 27 + 5 = 32 baseball cards.
