[Question]Four small panda bears and five bigger panda bears eat 25 pounds and 40 pounds of fresh bamboo sprouts every day, respectively. How many pounds of bamboo do the 9 pandas eat in a week?
[Answer]The small panda bears eat a total of 4 x 25 = 100 pounds of bamboo every day. The bigger panda bears eat a total of 5 x 40 = 200 pounds of bamboo every day. So, the 9 pandas eat a total of 100 + 200 = 300 pounds of bamboo every day. Therefore, they eat a total of 300 x 7 = 2100 pounds in a week. The answer is 2100.

[Question]Susan, Arthur, Tom and, Bob are siblings. Arthur is 2 years older than Susan, and Tom is 3 years younger than Bob. If Bob is 11 years old, and Susan is 15 years old, how old are all four family members in total?

[Question]A curry house sells curries that have varying levels of spice. Recently, a lot of the customers have been ordering very mild curries and the chefs have been having to throw away some wasted ingredients. To reduce cost and food wastage, the curry house starts monitoring how many ingredients are actually being used and changes their spending accordingly. The curry house needs 3 peppers for very spicy curries, 2 peppers for spicy curries, and only 1 pepper for mild curries. After adjusting their purchasing, the curry house now buys the exact amount of peppers they need. Previously, the curry house was buying enough peppers for 30 very spicy curries, 30 spicy curries, and 10 mild curries. They now buy enough peppers for 15 spicy curries and 90 mild curries. They no longer sell very spicy curries. How many fewer peppers does the curry house now buy?
[Answer]The curry house previously bought 3 peppers per very spicy curry * 30 very spicy curries = 90 peppers for very spicy curries. They also bought 2 peppers per spicy curry * 30 spicy curries = 60 peppers for spicy curries. They also bought 1 pepper per mild curry * 10 mild curries = 10 peppers for mild curries. So they were previously buying 90 + 60 + 10 = 160 peppers. They now buy 2 peppers per spicy curry * 15 spicy curries = 30 peppers for spicy curries. They also now buy 1 pepper per mild curry * 90 mild curries = 90 peppers for mild curries. So they now buy 30 + 90 = 120 peppers. This is a difference of 160 peppers bought originally - 120 peppers bought now = 40 peppers. The answer is 40.
