Question: Pulsar, the shuffle-dancing bear, Polly, the pink prancing poodle, and Petra, the proud portly pachyderm, are entertainers at the Big Top Circus. In one show, Pulsar stands on his two back legs for a total of 10 minutes. Then, Polly stands on her back legs for three times as long as Pulsar. And then, finally, Petra stands of his back legs for one-sixth as long as Polly. What is the combined length of time, in minutes, that the three entertainers stand on their back legs?
Answer: Polly stands on her back legs for 3 * 10 = 30 minutes. Petra stands on his back legs for 30 / 6 = 5 minutes. In total, the three entertainers stand on their back legs for 10 + 30 + 5 = 45 minutes'. The answer is 45.
[Question]Emily just purchased 2 pairs of curtains for $30.00 each and 9 wall prints at $15.00 each. The store also offers an installation service. For $50.00 they will come to your house and professionally hang your curtains and prints. If Emily agrees to this service, how much will her entire order cost?
[Answer]She buys 2 pair of curtains for $30.00 each so that's 2 * 30 = $60.00. She buys 9 wall prints at $15.00 each so that's 9 * 15 = $135.00. The curtains cost $60.00, the prints are $135.00 and the installation service is $50.00 for a total of 60 + 135 + 50 = $245.00. The answer is 245.
Q: Phill had some friends over for pizza. He opens the pizza box and discovers it hasn't been sliced. Phill cuts the pizza in half, and then cuts both halves in half, and then cuts each slice in half again. Phill then passes out 1 slice to 3 of his friends and 2 slices to 2 of his friends. How many slices of pizza are left for Phill?
A: Phill starts with 1 pizza, cutting it in half. This means he now has 1 * 2 = 2 slices of pizza. He cuts each of these 2 slices in half, meaning he now has 2 * 2 = 4 slices of pizza. He then cuts these in half again, meaning he now has 4 * 2 = 8 slices of pizza. Phill hands out 2 slices to 2 of his friends, meaning he gave out 2 * 2 = 4 slices. He hands out 1 slice to 3 others, so the total amount of slices handed out are 3 + 4 = 7 slices. Since Phill started with 8 slices, this means he has 8 - 7 = 1 slice remaining. The answer is 1.

[Question]Monica and Sheila are twins. Their mother gave them $50 and told them to buy some toilet paper and spend the remainder on groceries. The toilet paper cost $12. They bought apples, butter, eggs, and a large ham for twice the cost of the toilet paper. Since they still had some leftover money, they called their mother and she gave them permission to buy whatever they wanted for themselves as long as they shared the money evenly. They saw some boots they really liked, but a pair of boots costs 3 times the amount they had left. How much more would Monica and Sheila each have to add of their own money to buy two pairs of boots?
[Answer]The groceries cost $12 x 2 = $24. Including the toilet paper, Monica and Sheila had already spent $12 + $24 = $36. This means that they had $50 - $36 = $14 left to spend on themselves. However, the boots cost $14 x 3 = $42 per pair. Two pairs of boots would cost $42 x 2 = $84. They need another $84 - $14 = $70 to buy two pairs. Each of them needs to add another $70 / 2 = $35. The answer is 35.
[Question]Clementine, Jake, and Tory make cookies for the school bake sale. Clementine baked 72 cookies. Jake baked twice as many cookies as Clementine. Tory baked half as many cookies as Jake and Clementine combined. They sell their cookies for $2 each. If they sell all their cookies, how much money do they make?
[Answer]
Clementine baked 72 cookies. Jake baked 72 x 2 = 144 cookies. Tory baked 216 / 2 = 108 cookies. Together they baked 72 + 144 + 108 = 324 cookies. They raised 324 x 2 = $ 648. The answer is 648.
