Q: Seth and his brother want to see their favorite band in concert. The tickets are $50.00 each. There is a 15% processing fee for the tickets. They are also charged $10.00 for parking and an additional $5.00 per person entrance fee. How much will it cost to go to the concert?
A: The tickets are $50.00 each and they need 2 tickets so that's 50 * 2 = $100.00. There is a 15% processing fee for the tickets so that's 100 * .15 = $15.00. The tickets are $100.00 and the processing fee is $15.00 for a total of 100 + 15 = $115.00. There is a $5.00 per person entrance fee and there are 2 people so that's 5 * 2 = $10.00. The tickets are $115.00, parking is $10.00 and the entrance fee is $10.0 for a total of 115 + 10 + 10 = $135.00. The answer is 135.
Question: Mary had 6 lambs and 2 of the lambs had 2 babies each. She traded 3 lambs for one goat. One morning, she woke up and found an extra 7 lambs in the field. How many lambs does Mary have?
Answer: 2 of her lambs had 2 babies each so that adds 2 * 2 = 4 lambs. She starts with 6 and adds 4 baby lambs so she had 6 + 4 = 10 lambs. She traded 3 of those lambs for a goat so she has 10 - 3 = 7 lambs. She has 7 and woke up to find 7 more lambs in the field so she has a total of 7 + 7 = 14 lambs. The answer is 14.
[Question]Sabrina gave 10 cookies to her brother. Her mother gave Sabrina half the number of cookies she gave her brother. Then Sabrina gave two-thirds of her cookies to her sister. If Sabrina had 20 cookies at the start, how many cookies are left with her?
[Answer]Sabrina had 20 - 10 = 10 cookies left after giving 10 cookies to her brother. Sabrina's mother gave her 10 / 2 = 5 cookies. So, she had 10 + 5 = 15 cookies then. She gave 15 x 2 / 3 = 10 cookies to her sister. Therefore, she only has 15 - 10 = 5 cookies left. The answer is 5.
