Mark donates soup to the 6 homeless shelters. Each one services 30 people and he decides to buy 10 cans of soup per person. How many cans of soup does Mark donate? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. He helps 6 * 30 = 180 homeless people. So he donates 180 * 10 = 1800 cans of soup.. The answer is: 1800.

Kendra and Laurel have shops that sell different brands of shoe collections. In 2014, Kendra made $8000 less than Laurel made in sales. However, in 2015, Kendra made 20% more money than Laurel made in 2014. If Laurel earned $30000 in 2014, calculate Kendra's total earnings in the two years. Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. In 2015, Kendra's sales were 20 / 100 * $30000 = $6000 more than Laurel's. So, Kendra's total sales for 2015 was $30000 + $6000 = $36000. If Kendra made $8000 less in 2014 than Laurel, she made $30000 - $8000 = $22000 in that year. The total amount of money Kendra made in the two years is $22000 + $36000 = $58000.. The answer is: 58000.

There are 322 voters in District 1. District 2 has 19 less voters than District 3. District 3 has twice as many voters as District 1. How many total voters are in Districts 1 - 3? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. D1 = 322. D3 = 2 * 322 = 644. D2 = 644 - 19 = 625. 322 + 625 + 644 = 1591. There are 1591 voters in Districts 1 - 3.. The answer is: 1591.
