Question: Sally was at a self-serve candy shop where you scoop candy from the bins and pay based on the weight. She scoops 32 cherry sours into a bag. Then she gets a scoop of lemon sours, and the ratio of cherry sours to lemon sours is 4:5. Then she gets a scoop of orange sours, and they make up 25% of the sours in the bag. How many sours does she have in total?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: She has 4 cherry sours for every 5 lemon sours, so the number of lemon sours = (5 lemon sours * 32 cherry sours) / 4 cherry sours = 40 lemon sours. This puts the total at 32 cherry sours + 40 lemon sours = 72 sours. After the orange sours are added, they make up 25% of the total sours. Let x = the total number of sours. x - 0.25 * x = 72 sours = > 0.75 * x = 72 sours = > x = 72 sours / 0.75 = 96 sours total.
So the answer is 96.

Question: Jen and Tyler are gymnasts practicing flips. Jen is practicing the triple-flip while Tyler is practicing the double-flip. Jen did sixteen triple-flips during practice. Tyler flipped in the air half the number of times Jen did. How many double-flips did Tyler do?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Jen did 16 triple - flips, so she did 16 * 3 = 48 flips. Tyler did half the number of flips, so he did 48 / 2 = 24 flips. A double flip has two flips, so Tyler did 24 / 2 = 12 double - flips.
So the answer is 12.

Question: Autumn was constantly misplacing her pencils. At the start of the school year, she purchased a pack of 20 pencils. In the first month of school, she misplaced 7 pencils, broke 3 pencils and had to throw them away, she found 4, and bought 2. How many pencils did Autumn have left?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Autumn misplaced 7 and broke 3, so that lost her 7 + 3 = 10 pencils. Autumn found 4 pencils and bought 2, so she gained 4 + 2 = 6 pencils. She started with 20 pencils, lost 10 and gained 6 so she had 20 - 10 + 6 = 16 pencils left.
So the answer is 16.

Question: Leah earned $28 working odd jobs around the neighborhood. She spent a seventh of it on a milkshake and put half of the rest in her savings account. She left the remaining money in her wallet. Her dog got ahold of her wallet and shredded all the money inside but $1. How many dollars did Leah lose?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: Leah spent 28 / 7 = $4 on a milkshake. She had 28 - 4 = $24 left. She put half in her savings account and half in her wallet, so she had 24 / 2 = $12 in her wallet. Her dog shredded all the money in her wallet but $1, so Leah lost 12 - 1 = $11.
So the answer is 11.
