Karen's class fund contains only $10 and $20 bills,  which amount to $120. The number of $10 bills is twice as many $20 bills.

Question: How many $20 bills do they have in their fund?
Answer: If n is the number of $20 bills then 2n is the number of $10 bills.
So the equation will be $10(2n) + $20n = $120.
By combining like terms, the equation becomes 40n = 120.
So, the value of n which represents the number of $20 bills is 120/40 = <<120/40=3>>3.

Shara borrowed money from her brother 6 months ago. She returned $10 per month to her brother. Currently, she was able to return half of the money she borrowed.

Question: How much will she still owe her brother 4 months from now?
Answer: For 6 months, Shara was able to return $10 x 6 = $<<10*6=60>>60 to her brother.
Since she already returned half of the money, then this means she currently owes her brother $<<60=60>>60.
Four months from now, she will be able to pay an additional $10 x 4 = $<<10*4=40>>40.
Thus, she will still owe her brother $60 - $40 = $<<60-40=20>>20 four months from now.

Question: If Pete keeps 1 red marble, how many total marbles does he have after trading with his friend?
Answer: He starts with 4 blue marbles because 10 x .4 = <<10*.4=4>>4
60% of the marbles are red because 100 - 40 = <<100-40=60>>60
He has 6 red marbles because 10 x .6 = <<10*.6=6>>6
He trades 5 red marbles because 6 - 1 = <<6-1=5>>5
He gets 10 blue marbles because 5 x 2 = <<5*2=10>>10
He has 15 marbles now because 4 + 1 + 10 = <<4+1+10=15>>15

A small, old, wooden bridge can hold up to 100 kilograms at once. Mike, Megan, and Kelly are three children who decided to cross the bridge at the same time. Kelly weighs 34 kilograms, which is 15% less than Megan. Mike weighs 5 kilograms more than Megan.

Question: How much too much do the three children weigh together to cross the bridge?
Answer: If Kelly weighs 15% less than Megan, this means Kelly's weight is 100 - 15 = <<100-15=85>>85% of Megan's weight.
85% is 0.85, so Megan weighs 34 / 0.85 = <<34/0.85=40>>40 kilograms.
Mike weighs 5 kilograms more than Megan, so he weighs 40 + 5 = <<40+5=45>>45 kilograms.
In total all three kids weigh 34 + 40 + 45 = <<34+40+45=119>>119 kilograms.
That means to cross the bridge safely, they weigh 119 - 100 = <<119-100=19>>19 kilograms too much.

So he goes hunting 3*6=<<3*6=18>>18 times a year
That means he gets 18*2=<<18*2=36>>36 deers per year
So he catches 36*600=<<36*600=21600>>21,600 pounds of deer a year
That means he keeps 21600/2=<<21600/2=10800>>10,800 pounds of deer a year

Question: If Mia spent a total of $150 on Christmas gifts and each of her parents received gifts of equal value, how much money, in dollars, did she spend on each parent’s gift?
Answer: Mia spent a total of $30 per siblings * 3 siblings = $<<30*3=90>>90 on her siblings.
She therefore spent $150 total spending - $90 spending on her siblings = $<<150-90=60>>60 on her parents.
As each parent received an equal amount, each parent’s gift cost $60 total spending on parents / 2 = $<<60/2=30>>30.

Lucy lost one-third of her money. She then spent one-fourth of the remainder, and only left with $15.

Question: How much money did Lucy have at the beginning?
Answer: The $15 is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 of the money left.
Since 3/4 is equal to $15, then 1/4 is equal to $15/3 = $5.
So Lucy had $5 x 4 = $<<5*4=20>>20 left after losing 1/3 of her money.
Hence, $20 is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the money that Lucy had at the beginning.
Since 2/3 is equal to $20, then 1/3 is equal to $20/2 = $10.
Therefore, Lucy had $10 x 3 = $<<10*3=30>>30 at the beginning.

Answer: Adam has a total of 50 balls - 20 red - 10 blue = <<50-20-10=20>>20 pink and orange balls combined
If we let x be the total number of orange balls, we know that 3x is the number of pink balls
Therefore, 20 balls = x + 3x = 4x
The number of orange balls, x, is 20 balls / 4 = <<20/4=5>>5 balls

Martin owns a farm with hens. 10 hens do lay 80 eggs in 10 days. Martin decided to buy 15 more hens.

Question: How many eggs will all hens lay in 15 days?
Answer: If 10 hens lay 80 eggs, then 1 hen lays 80 / 10 = <<80/10=8>>8 eggs in 10 days.
That means one hen is laying 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4 eggs in 5 days.
So in 15 days, 1 hen will lay 3 times more eggs, so 4 * 3 = 12 eggs.
All hens in total will then lay 25 * 12 = <<25*12=300>>300 eggs in 15 days.

On the third page, the number of drawings increased to 10+5 = <<10+5=15>>15
The first three pages have a total of 15+15 = <<15+15=30>>30 drawings.
The fourth page had 15+5 = <<15+5=20>>20 drawings.
There are 30+20 = <<30+20=50>>50 drawings on the first four pages.
The fifth page also had an extra 5 more drawings than the fourth page, totaling 20+5 = <<20+5=25>>25
For the first five pages, Janice saw 25+50 = <<25+50=75>>75 pages.
