Question: If Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's house along a certain road, and Ken's house is 4 miles away from Dawn's house along this same road, how much distance (in miles) will Ken cover if he goes from his house to Dawn's house, then Mary's, then back to Dawn's before going back to his own house?
Answer: Ken's house is twice as far from Dawn's house as Mary's, so the distance between Ken's and Mary's is half that between Ken's and Dawn's (4 miles) which means the former is (1 / 2) * 4 miles = 2 miles. If Ken goes from his house to Dawn's, he has covered 4 miles. He goes from there to Mary's (2 miles, same as Ken's to Mary's) for a total of 4 + 2 = 6 miles. He goes back to Dawn's (another 2 miles) for a total of 6 + 2 = 8 miles. Then he goes to his own house (4 miles) for a final total of 8 + 4 = 12 miles. The answer is 12.
[Question]Alden's family invited their relatives for a family reunion on Christmas eve. There were 50 more female adults than male adults, and children were twice the total number of adults. If there were 100 male adults, how many people attended the family reunion?
[Answer]If the number of female adults was 50 more than the males, then there were 100 + 50 = 150 females. The total number of adults is 150 + 100 = 250. The children were twice the total number of adults, thus 2 * 250 = 500. The total number of people at the family reunion is 500 + 250 = 750. The answer is 750.
Q: John climbs up 3 flights of stairs. Each flight is 10 feet. He then climbs a rope that is half that height. Finally, he climbs a ladder that is 10 feet longer than the rope. How high up did he go?
A: He climbed 3 * 10 = 30 feet of stairs. He then climbed 30 / 2 = 15 feet of rope. Finally, he climbed a 15 + 10 = 25 foot ladder. So in total, he climbed 30 + 15 + 25 = 70 feet. The answer is 70.
Question: Hans reserved a table at a fine dining restaurant for twelve people. He has to pay a deposit for the reservation, and the deposit is a flat $20 plus an extra $3 per adult but only $1 per child. Two of the people in Hans's party are his kid cousins, and the rest are adults. How many dollars does Hans have to pay as a deposit for the restaurant reservation?
Answer: Hans's party includes 12 - 2 = 10 adults and 2 children. The adults will cost 3 * 10 = $30 for the deposit. The children will cost 2 * 1 = $2 for the deposit. Thus, Hans has to pay 30 + 2 + 20 = $52 as a deposit for the restaurant reservation. The answer is 52.

[Question]Tenisha had 40 dogs that she kept at home as pets. If 60% of them are female, and 3/4 of the female gives birth to 10 puppies each, calculate the total number of puppies that Tenisha remains with after donating 130 puppies to the church.
[Answer]
If Tenisha has 40 dogs, the number of female dogs is 60 / 100 * 40 = 24. 3 / 4 of the females give birth, meaning 3 / 4 * 24 = 18 female dogs gives birth to puppies. Since each dog that gave birth had 10 puppies, the number of puppies that were born is 18 * 10 = 180. After donating 130 puppies to the church, Tenisha remained with 180 - 130 = 50 puppies. The answer is 50.
