Consider the Q and A. Q: Lloyd, Mark, and Michael have their Pokemon cards collection. Currently, Mark has thrice as many cards as Lloyd but has 10 fewer cards than Michael. If Michael has 100 cards now, how many more cards should they collect so that all three of them will have a total of 300 cards?
A: 80
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mark has 10 fewer cards than Michael so Mark has 100 cards - 10 cards = 90 cards. So, Lloyd has 90 cards / 3 = 30 cards. All three of them have 90 cards + 30 cards + 100 cards = 220 cards. Thus, they need to collect 300 cards - 220 cards = 80 more cards.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Lisa and Carly go shopping together. Lisa spends $40 on t-shirts then spends half of this amount on jeans and twice this amount on coats. Carly spends only a quarter as much as Lisa on t-shirts but spends 3 times as much on jeans and a quarter of the amount Lisa spent on coats. In dollars, how much did Lisa and Carly spend in total?
A: 230
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Lisa spends $40 on t - shirts / 2 = $20 on jeans. She also spends $40 on t - shirts * 2 = $80 on coats. So Lisa has spent a total of 40 + 20 + 80 = $140. Carly spends $40 / 4 = $10 on t - shirts. She also spends $20 per pair of jeans * 3 = $60 on jeans. She then also spends $80 Lisa's cost for coats / 4 = $20 on coats. So Carly has spent a total of 10 + 60 + 20 = $90. Lisa and Carly have therefore spent a total of 140 + 90 = $230.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Ignatius owns 4 bicycles. A friend of his owns different types of cycles, which have three times are many tires as Ignatius's bikes have. He has one unicycle, a tricycle, and the rest are bikes. How many bicycles does the friend own?
A: 10
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Ignatius has 8 tires because 2 x 4 = 8. His friend has 24 tires because 3 x 8 = 24. There are 20 bicycle wheels because 24 - 1 - 3 = 20. He has 10 bicycles because 20 / 2 = 10.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Brian is a real estate agent. He makes a 2% commission on each sale. During June, he sold three houses. The houses sold for $157,000, $499,000, and $125,000. What was Brian's total commission on these three sales?
A: 15620
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
Brian sold houses for 157,000 + 499,000 + 125,000 = $781,000 in total. Brian's commission was 781,000 * 0.02 = $15,620.
