Aunt Angela has 70 jellybeans in a jar. She wants to divide them equally and give them to her 3 nephews and 2 nieces. How many jellybeans did each nephew or niece receive? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Aunt Angela has a total of 3 + 2 = 5 nephews and nieces. She gave each nephew or niece 70 / 5 = 14 jellybeans.. The answer is: 14.

Balki is counting the number of raisins in boxes of cereal. He counted 437 total raisins in 5 boxes. In one box he counted 72 raisins. In a second box he counted 74 raisins. The other three boxes had the same number each. How many were in each of the other three boxes? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. Let x = the number of raisins in each of the other 3 boxes. Then 72 + 74 + 3x = 437 raisins. Combining like terms we get 146 + 3x = 437 raisins. Subtracting 146 from both sides we get 3x = 291 raisins. Dividing both sides by 3, we get x = 291 / 3 = 97 raisins.. The answer is: 97.

Ping pong balls sell for $.10 each. Johnny buys 10000 for a prank. He gets a 30% discount for buying in such large bulk. How much does he pay? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The ping pong balls cost 10000 * .10 = $1000. So the discount is 1000 * .30 = $300. So he pays 1000 - 300 = $700.. The answer is: 700.
