Question: A bakery sells boxes of doughnuts and if there are any doughnuts left at the end of the day, the bakery gives them away. Each box of doughnuts holds 10 doughnuts and all of the doughnuts that the bakery makes are put into these boxes. The bakery makes 300 doughnuts for the day and sells 27 boxes of doughnuts throughout the day. How many doughnuts are given away at the end of the day?
Answer: The bakery has made 300 total doughnuts / 10 doughnuts per box = 30 boxes of doughnuts. So at the end of the day, they still have 30 total boxes of doughnuts – 27 sold boxes of doughnuts = 3 boxes of doughnuts leftover. They are therefore giving away 3 boxes of doughnuts * 10 doughnuts per box = 30 doughnuts. The answer is 30.
[Question]Annalise was sent by her mother to the store to buy 10 boxes of Kleenex Ultra Soft Facial Tissues. If each box has 20 packs of tissues and each pack contain 100 tissues sold at five cents each, calculate the total amount of money Annalise spent to buy the ten boxes.
[Answer]If a box of tissue has 20 packs of tissues, ten boxes have 20 packs / box * 10 boxes = 200 packs. Since each pack has 100 tissues, Annalise bought 100 tissues / pack * 200 packs = 20000 tissues. Annalise bought 20000 tissues at five cents each, at a total cost of 20000 tissues * $0.05 = $1000. The answer is 1000.

Question: John has 3 children. He and his wife are supposed to buy notebooks for their sons but they couldn't agree on how many to buy. So John bought 2 notebooks for each of his children and John's wife bought 5 notebooks for each of them. How many notebooks did they buy in total for their children?
Answer: John bought 2 notebooks for his 3 children: 2 notebooks / child x 3 children = 6 notebooks. The father bought 6 notebooks. John's wife bought 5 notebooks for their three children: 5 notebooks / child x 3 children = 15 notebooks. The mother bought 15 notebooks. Now, the total number of notebooks is 6 notebooks + 15 notebooks = 21 notebooks. The answer is 21.
Q: How many apples did two men and three women buy at a certain store if the two men each bought 30 apples, 20 less than the number of apples bought by each woman?
A:
If the two men each bought 30 apples, together they bought 2 * 30 = 60 apples. Since the two men each bought 30 apples, 20 less than the total number of apples bought by each woman, each woman bought 20 + 30 = 50 apples. The total number of apples bought by the women is 3 * 50 = 150. Altogether, the two men and three women bought 60 + 150 = 210 apples. The answer is 210.
