Mark is filling a punch bowl that can hold 16 gallons of punch. He fills it part way, then his cousin comes along and drinks half the punch in the bowl. Mark starts to refill the bowl and adds 4 more gallons, but then his friend Sally comes in and drinks 2 more gallons of punch. After that, Mark has to add 12 gallons of punch to completely fill the bowl. How much punch did Mark initially add to the bowl? | First, figure out how much punch was left in the bowl before Mark refilled it by subtracting the 12 gallons he added from the bowl's total capacity: 16 - 12 = <<16-12=4>>4 gallons.
Next, figure out how much punch was in the bowl before Sally came along: 4 + 2 = <<4+2=6>>6 gallons.
Next, figure out how much punch was in the bowl before Mark started to refill it: 6 - 4 = <<6-4=2>>2 gallons.
Finally, multiply that amount by 2 to find out how much punch there was before the cousin drank half: 2 * 2 = <<4=4>>4 gallons.

In the honey shop, the bulk price of honey is $5 per pound and the minimum spend is $40 before tax. The honey is taxed at $1 per pound. If Penny has paid $240 for honey, by how many pounds has Penny’s purchase exceed the minimum spend? | Including tax, a pound of honey costs 5 + 1 = <<5+1=6>>6 dollars.
The minimum purchase equals 40 / 5 = <<40/5=8>>8 pounds of honey.
Penny has bought 240 / 6 = <<240/6=40>>40 pounds of honey.
Penny has exceeded the minimum purchase by 40 - 8 = <<40-8=32>>32 pounds.

We harvested 405 kg of apples. 90 kg were used to make fruit juice and 60 kg were given to a restaurant. The rest was sold in 5 kg bags and their sale brought in $408. What was the selling price of one bag of apples? | The weight of apples used for juice and given to the restaurant is 60 + 90 = <<60+90=150>>150 kg.
Thus 405 – 150 = 255kg worth of apples were sold in 5 kg bags.
There were 255 / 5 = <<255/5=51>>51 bags sold.
So each bag was sold for 408 / 51 = $<<408/51=8>>8.

Patricia and Geoffrey went fishing to feed their group of campers. They caught an eight-pound trout, six two-pound bass, and two twelve-pound salmon. If each person will eat two pounds of fish, how many campers can they feed? | The bass weigh 6 * 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 pounds in all.
The salmon weigh 2 * 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 pounds in all.
The trout, bass, and salmon together weigh 8 + 12 + 24 = <<8+12+24=44>>44 pounds.
Each camper will eat 2 pounds of fish, so Patricia and Jeffrey can feed 44 / 2 = <<44/2=22>>22 campers.

It takes 10 minutes to wash a car, 15 minutes to change oil, and 30 minutes to change a set of tires. If mike washes 9 cars, changes the oil on 6 cars, and changes two sets of tires how many hours did he work? | He spent 10 minutes *9 cars = <<10*9=90>>90 minutes washing cars.
He spent another 15 minutes * 6 cars = <<15*6=90>>90 minutes changing oil.
He spent 2 cars * 30 minutes = <<2*30=60>>60 minutes changing tires.
He spent 90 minutes + 90 minutes + 60 minutes = <<90+90+60=240>>240 minutes working.
He spent 240 minutes / 60 minutes = <<240/60=4>>4 hours working.

Michael and Thomas are selling their lego collections. They agree to split any money they earn. They sell them based on how many circles are on top. Each circle costs 1 cent. They earned $5 each after selling 100 single pieces, 45 double pieces, 50 triple pieces and a number of quadruple pieces. How many quadruple pieces did they sell? | They made $10 because 2 x 5 = <<2*5=10>>10.
They made $1 off single pieces because 100 x .01 = <<100*.01=1>>1.
They made $.9 off double pieces because 45 x .02 = <<45*.02=.9>>.9.
They made $1.5 off triple pieces because 50 x .03 = <<50*.03=1.5>>1.5.
They earned $3.4 off the first three types because 1 + .9 + 1.5 = <<1+.9+1.5=3.4>>3.4.
They earned $6.6 off the quadruple pieces because 10 - 3.4 = <<10-3.4=6.6>>6.6.
They sold 165 quadruple pieces because 6.6 / .04 = <<6.6/.04=165>>165.

Baking in batches of 65 cupcakes, Carla made 45 batches of cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party. She then took 5 cupcakes from each batch, and fed them to her dogs. If Carla's daughter had 19 friends and they shared the remaining cupcakes equally among them, including the daughter, calculate the number of cupcakes that each of Carla's daughter's friends ate. | If Carla sampled 5 cupcakes from each batch and fed them to her dogs, each batch had 65-5 = 60 cupcakes afterwards.
Since Carla made 45 batches of cupcakes for her daughter's birthday party, after removing the 5 cupcakes from each batch, Carla's daughter and her friends received 45*60 = <<45*60=2700>>2700 cupcakes.
The total number of people at the party is 19 friends + 1 daughter = <<19+1=20>>20.
After sharing the cupcakes equally among them, Carla's daughter and her friends each received 2700/20 = <<2700/20=135>>135 cupcakes.

Sally teaches elementary school and is given $320 to spend on books for her students. A reading book costs $12 and there are 30 students in her class. Unfortunately, if the money she is given by the school to pay for books is not sufficient, she will need to pay the rest out of pocket. How much money does Sally need to pay out of pocket, to buy every student a reading book? | To purchase a book for each student, Sally needs: 30 x $12 = $<<30*12=360>>360.
She thus needs to pay $360 - $320 = $<<360-320=40>>40 out of pocket.
The answer is: 40 |
Harry is 50 years old. His father is currently 24 years older than he is. How old was his mother when she gave birth to him if she is younger than his father by 1/25 of Harry's current age? | Harry's father is 50 years + 24 years = <<50+24=74>>74 years old.
Harry's mother is 1/25 * 50 years = <<1/25*50=2>>2 years younger than his father.
So she is currently 74 years - 2 years = <<74-2=72>>72 years old.
So when Harry was born, she was 72 years - 50 years = <<72-50=22>>22 years old.

There were 50 people on the city bus. At the first stop, 15 people got off. At the next stop 8 people got off and 2 got on. At the third stop, 4 people got off and 3 people got on. How many people are on the bus after the third stop? | The bus started with 50 people – 15 who got off at the first stop = <<50-15=35>>35 people on the bus.
At the second stop, 35 people on the bus – 8 who got off = <<35-8=27>>27 people.
Then there were 27 people + 2 who got on = <<27+2=29>>29 people on the bus.
At the third stop, 29 people on the bus – 4 who got off = <<29-4=25>>25 people on the bus.
Then there were 25 people on the bus + 3 who got on = <<25+3=28>>28 people on the bus.

In a certain school, 2/3 of the male students like to play basketball, but only 1/5 of the female students like to play basketball. What percent of the population of the school do not like to play basketball if the ratio of the male to female students is 3:2 and there are 1000 students? | The students are divided into 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 parts where 3 parts are for males and 2 parts are for females.
Each part represents 1000/5 = <<1000/5=200>>200 students.
So, there are 3 x 200 = <<3*200=600>>600 males.
And there are 2 x 200 = <<2*200=400>>400 females.
Hence, 600 x 2/3 = 400 males play basketball.
And 400 x 1/5 = <<400*1/5=80>>80 females play basketball.
A total of 400 + 80 = <<400+80=480>>480 students play basketball.
Therefore, 1000 - 480 = <<1000-480=520>>520 do not like to play basketball.
The percentage of the school that do not like to play basketball is 520/1000 * 100 = <<520/1000*100=52>>52.
The answer is: 52 |
There are 15 cats in a shelter. One-third were adopted, and were replaced with twice the amount that were adopted. Later on, twice as many dogs showed up as there are cats. How many total animals are there in the shelter? | 15/3=<<15/3=5>>5 cats were adopted out of 15.
There were 15-5 = <<15-5=10>>10 cats left.
5*2=<<5*2=10>>10 more cats were added.
This makes 10+10=<<10+10=20>>20 cats in the shelter.
20*2=<<20*2=40>>40 dogs came into the shelter.
There are now 20+40=<<20+40=60>>60 animals in the shelter.
The answer is: 60 |

So he has 36 goats / 2 goats/chicken = <<36/2=18>>18 chickens.
The answer is: 18 |
A factory decides to stop making cars and start making motorcycles instead. When it made cars, per month, it cost $100 for materials, they could make 4 cars, and they sold each car for $50. Now that they make motorcycles it costs $250 for materials, but they sell 8 of them for $50 each. How much more profit do they make per month selling motorcycles instead of cars? | They sold $200 worth of cars each month because 4 x 50 = <<4*50=200>>200.
They made $100 a month off cars because 200 - 100 = <<200-100=100>>100.
They sold $400 worth of motorcycles each month because 8 x 50 = <<8*50=400>>400.
They make $150 a month off motorcycles because 400 - 250 = <<400-250=150>>150.
They make $50 more a month off motorcycles than cars because 150 - 100 = <<150-100=50>>50.
The answer is: 50 |
Gwen received a $900 bonus at work and decided to invest this money in the stock market. She spent one-third of her bonus on stock A, one-third on stock B, and the remaining one-third on stock C. After one year, stock A and stock B had doubled in value, while stock C had lost half of its value. At the end of the year, how much were Gwen's stocks worth, in dollars? | One-third of her bonus was $900/3 = $<<900/3=300>>300.
After one year, stock A doubled in value and was worth $300*2 = $<<300*2=600>>600.
After one year, stock B doubled in value and was worth $300*2 = $<<300*2=600>>600.
After one year, stock C had lost half its value and was worth $300/2 = $<<300/2=150>>150.
Altogether, at the end of the year, Gwen's stocks were worth $600+$600+$150 = $<<600+600+150=1350>>1350.

So that means there are 225+75=<<225+75=300>>300 people on the list.
So once you remove duplicates there are 300-25=<<300-25=275>>275 people.
The answer is: 275 |
It takes Jennifer 20 minutes to groom each of her 2 long hair dachshunds. If she grooms her dogs every day, how many hours does she spend grooming her dogs in 30 days? | She has 2 dogs and it takes 20 minutes to groom just 1 dog so it takes her 2*20 = <<2*20=40>>40 minutes per day to groom 2 dogs.
In 30 days, she will have spent 30*40 = <<30*40=1200>>1,200 minutes grooming her dogs.
There are 60 minutes in an hour so she spends 1200/60 = <<1200/60=20>>20 hours grooming her dogs.

Jim decides to open up a bike shop. The most common repair he does is fixing bike tires. He charges $20 for this and it cost him $5 in parts. In one month Jim does 300 of these repairs. He also does 2 more complex repairs for $300 each and cost $50 in parts. He also sells $2000 profit worth of things from his retail shop. If rent and other fixed expense for the shop is $4000 a month how much profit did the shop make? | From each tire repair, he made 20-5=$<<20-5=15>>15 profit.
So repairs made him a profit of 15*300=$<<15*300=4500>>4500.
The two complex repairs each made him 300-50=$<<300-50=250>>250 profit.
So those added 250*2=$<<250*2=500>>500.
So his total profit from everything was 4500+500+2000=$<<4500+500+2000=7000>>7000.
So he made a profit of 7000-4000=$<<7000-4000=3000>>3000.

Mary went to the store to buy fruit. Apples cost $1, oranges cost $2, and bananas cost $3. For every 5 fruits that customers buy, the store offers a $1 discount. Mary buys 5 apples, 3 oranges, and 2 bananas. How much will she pay? | For 5 apples, Mary will pay 5*1= <<5*1=5>>5 dollars.
For 3 oranges, she will pay 3*2= <<3*2=6>>6 dollars.
For 2 bananas, she will pay 2*3 = <<2*3=6>>6 dollars.
She bought 5+3+2=<<5+3+2=10>>10 fruits.
For 10 fruits, Mary gets a discount of 10/5 = <<10/5=2>>2 dollars.
In total, the bill is 5 + 6 + 6 = <<5+6+6=17>>17 dollars.
Subtracting the discount offered by the stores, Mary will pay 17 - 2 = <<17-2=15>>15 dollars.

A school is adding 5 rows of seats to the auditorium. Each row has 8 seats and each seat costs $30. A parent, being a seat manufacturer, offered a 10% discount on each group of 10 seats purchased. How much will the school pay for the new seats? | Ten seats amount to $30 x 10 = $<<30*10=300>>300.
So there is $300 x 10/100 = $<<300*10/100=30>>30 discount for each 10 seats purchased.
Thus, the total cost for every 10 seats is $300 - $30 = $<<300-30=270>>270.
The school is going to buy 5 x 8 = <<5*8=40>>40 seats.
This means that the school is going to buy 40/10 = <<40/10=4>>4 sets of 10 seats.
Therefore, the school will pay a total of $270 x 4 = $<<270*4=1080>>1080 for the new seats.
The answer is: 1080 |
Christi saw twice as many black bears as white bears and 40 more brown bears than black bears in a national park. If the number of black bears in the park is 60, calculate the population of bears in the park. | If there are 60 black bears in the park and 40 more brown bears than black bears, there are 60+40 = <<60+40=100>>100 brown bears.
The number of black and brown bears in the park is 100+60 = <<100+60=160>>160.
Twice the number of black bears as white bears means 60/2 = <<60/2=30>>30 white bears.
The population of bears in the national park is 30+160 = <<30+160=190>>190.
The answer is: 190 |

An office has 90 workers. 2/3rds of them are men and the rest are women. The company hires 10 new employees and 100% of them are women. What is the total percentage of women in the company now? | 1/3rd of the workers before the new hires were women because 1 - (2/3) = 1/3.
There were 30 women working for the company before the new hires.
There are now 40 women working for the company because 30 + 10 = <<30+10=40>>40.
There are 100 people working for the company because 90 + 10 = <<90+10=100>>100.
The proportion of women working in the company is .4 because 40 / 100 = <<40/100=.4>>.4.
The percentage of women working in the company is now 40 because .4 x 100 = <<.4*100=40>>40.
The answer is: 40 |
Hilary is shucking corn from ears that grew on her farm. She gets four ears of corn per stalk, and she has 108 stalks growing. Half the ears of corn have 500 kernels of corn and the other half have 100 more. How many kernels of corn does Hilary have to shuck? | She has 108 * 4 = <<108*4=432>>432 ears of corn to shuck.
She gets 500 kernels of corn from half the ears and 500 + 100 = <<500+100=600>>600 kernels from the other half.
Half the number of ears of corn is 432 / 2 = <<432/2=216>>216 ears.
Thus, Hilary has 216 * 500 + 216 * 600 = 108000 + 129600 = <<216*500+216*600=237600>>237600 kernels to shuck.

James decides to bulk up. He weighs 120 kg and gains 20% of his body weight in muscle and 1 quarter that much in fat. How much does he weigh now? | He gains 120*.2=<<120*.2=24>>24 kg in muscles.
So he gains 24/4=<<24/4=6>>6 kg of fat.
That means he gains a total of 24+6=<<24+6=30>>30 kg of bodyweight.
So his new body weight is 120+30=<<120+30=150>>150 kg.

Janet pays $40/hour for 3 hours per week of clarinet lessons and $28/hour for 5 hours a week of piano lessons. How much more does she spend on piano lessons than clarinet lessons in a year? | First find the total Janet spends on clarinet lessons per week: $40/hour * 3 hours/week = $<<40*3=120>>120/week.
Then find the total Janet spends on piano lessons per week: $28/hour * 5 hours/week = $<<28*5=140>>140/week.
Then subtract her weekly clarinet spending from her weekly piano spending to find the weekly difference: $140/week - $120/week = $<<140-120=20>>20/week.
Then multiply the weekly difference by the number of weeks in a year to find the annual difference: $20/week * 52 weeks/year = $<<20*52=1040>>1040/year.
The answer is: 1040 |
Roy owns a refrigerated warehouse where he stores produce before selling it at the farmer’s market. The fruits and vegetables he stores are very sensitive to temperature, and he must keep them all cold or they will spoil. One day, the power went out and the air conditioner was turned off for three hours, during which time the temperature rose by 8 degrees per hour. If Roy gets the power back on, it will activate the air conditioner to lower the temperature at the rate of 4 degrees F per hour. What is the amount of time, in hours, it will take for the air conditioner to restore the warehouse to 43 degrees F? | At a rate of 8 degrees per hour, in three hours the temperature rose by 3*8=<<3*8=24>>24 degrees.
At a rate of 4 degrees per hour, the air conditioner can reduce the temperature 24 degrees in 24/4=6 hours.

Very early this morning, Elise left home in a cab headed for the hospital. Fortunately, the roads were clear, and the cab company only charged her a base price of $3, and $4 for every mile she traveled. If Elise paid a total of $23, how far is the hospital from her house? | For the distance she traveled, Elise paid 23 - 3 = <<23-3=20>>20 dollars.
Since the cost per mile is $4, the distance from Elise’s house to the hospital is 20/4 = <<20/4=5>>5 miles.

Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can. Brandon can skip at one-third the speed that Tony can. And Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can. At what speed, in miles per hour, can Colin skip if Bruce skips at 1 mile per hour? | Tony can skip at twice the speed that Bruce can, for a speed of 1*2=<<1*2=2>>2 miles per hour.
Brandon can skip at one-third the speed that Tony can, for a speed of 2*(1/3) = 2/3 miles per hour.
Colin can skip at six times the speed that Brandon can, for a speed of (2/3*6=4 miles per hour).
The answer is: 4 |
Janet, a third grade teacher, is picking up the sack lunch order from a local deli for the field trip she is taking her class on. There are 35 children in her class, 5 volunteer chaperones, and herself. She she also ordered three additional sack lunches, just in case there was a problem. Each sack lunch costs $7. How much do all the lunches cost in total? | Janet needs 35 lunches for the kids + 5 for the chaperones + 1 for herself + 3 extras = <<35+5+1+3=44>>44 lunches.
Each lunch is $7, so lunch for the field trip costs $7 per lunch * 44 lunches = $<<7*44=308>>308 total.
The answer is: 308 |
At 30, Anika is 4/3 the age of Maddie. What would be their average age in 15 years? | If Anika is 30 now, in 15 years, she'll be 30+15=<<30+15=45>>45 years old.
At 30, Anika is 4/3 the age of Maddie, meaning Maddie is 4/3*30=<<4/3*30=40>>40 years.
In 15 years, Maddie will be 40+15=<<40+15=55>>55 years old.
Their total age in 15 years will be 55+45=<<55+45=100>>100.
Their average age in 15 years will be 100/2=<<100/2=50>>50.
The answer is: 50 |
