Q: A small theater company sells tickets to a show. They have a 400 seat theater and fill to 80% capacity. Each ticket cost $30. They repeated the same performance 2 other days. How much did they make?
A: They sold 400 * .8 = 320 tickets each day. So each day they made 320 * 30 = $9600. They did 2 + 1 = 3 days. So they made 9600 * 3 = $28,800. The answer is 28800.
Question: Eve wants to buy her 3 nieces cooking gear that's made for kids. The hand mitts cost $14.00 and the apron is $16.00. A set of 3 cooking utensils is $10.00 and a small knife is twice the amount of the utensils. The store is offering a 25% off sale on all cooking gear. How much will Eve spend on the gifts?
Answer: A small knife is twice the amount of the utensils that costs $10.00 so the knife costs 2 * 10 = $20.00. All total, each little kit will costs $14.00 for mitts, $16.00 for an apron, $10.00 for utensils and $20.00 for a knife for a total of 14 + 16 + 10 + 20 = $60.00. Each kit costs $60.00 and they are currently 25% off so that's a savings of 60 * .25 = $15.00. The kits are $60.00 and they are $15.00 off so they now cost 60 - 15 = $45.00. She needs to buy 3 kits and each kit costs $45.00 so that's 3 * 45 = $135.00. The answer is 135.
[Question]Samuel is arranging his grandma's teacups. They are stored in boxes and inside the boxes, they are stacked 5 rows high with 4 cups in each row. Of the 26 boxes in her attic, 6 of the boxes contain pans, half of the remaining boxes contain decorations, and the rest of the boxes contain her teacups. Samuel breaks 2 of the cups every time he picks up one of the boxes. By the time Samuel has taken all of the teacups out of the boxes, how many teacups are left?
[Answer]Taking the boxes of pans out of the total attic boxes shows that 26 boxes 6 boxes of pans = 20 boxes are either decorations or teacups. Since half of these boxes are decorations, the other half must be made up of 20 boxes / 2 = 10 boxes of teacups. Each box of cups initially has 5 rows x 4 cups = 20 teacups inside. Samuel breaks cups each time he picks up a box, which means each box now contains 20 2 = 18 teacups. Therefore, there are 10 boxes * 18 teacups = 180 teacups left. The answer is 180.

Q: A couple's wedding reception had 180 people. The bride and groom had each invited 20 couples from their side of the family. The remaining guests were friends. How many friends attended the reception?
A:
From the bride's side, 20 couples * 2 guests / couple = 40 guests attended. From the groom's side, 20 couples * 2 guests / couple = 40 guests attended. Therefore 180 guests - (40 guests + 40 guests) = 100 friends attended the reception. The answer is 100.
