Question: Tim buys 3 loaves of bread. Each loaf of bread has 20 slices. He pays for the 3 loaves of bread with 2 $20 bills. He gets $16 change. How much does each slice cost, in cents?
Answer: He gave 2 * 20 = $40. So the total cost was 40 - 16 = $24. That means each slice costs 24 / 3 = $8. That means it costs 8 * 100 = 800 cents. So each slice is 800 / 20 = 40 cents. The answer is 40.
[Question]Marge had a winning lottery ticket for $12006 and wanted to spend some of it wisely before using on any fun things. She paid half of the lottery amount for the taxes on her winnings, then put a third of the leftover money towards her student loans. She put $1000 in savings and invested a fifth of that amount in the stock market. How many dollars does she have left for fun?
[Answer]Marge used half the $12006 for taxes, so she had 12006 / 2 = $6003 left. She used 1 / 3 of the leftover money on student loans, so she paid 6003 / 3 = $2001. After paying the student loans, she had 6003 - 2001 = $4002 left. She put $1000 in savings, so she had 4002 - 1000 = $3002 left. She invested 1000 / 5 = $200 in the stock market. After investing, she had 3002 - 200 = $2802 left for fun. The answer is 2802.
Q: Haman's father has an egg business supplying the local market. On a Wednesday morning, his father sends him to go and collect 10 trays of eggs for sale from their store. While loading the eggs into the car, he accidentally drops two trays. He calls his father telling him this, and is told to add 7 more trays for sale. How many eggs were sold that day?
A: When Haman collected 10 trays and dropped 2 trays, he was left with 10 trays - 2 trays = 8 trays. When he added 7 more trays, the total number of trays became 8 trays + 7 trays = 15 trays. Since each tray contains 36 eggs, the total number of eggs to be sold is 36 eggs / tray * 15 trays = 540 eggs. The answer is 540.
Question: Jessie's community built a new hedge. Each section of the hedge used 30 pieces of concrete blocks that cost $2 per piece. The hedge has eight sections. How much did they spend on the concrete blocks?

[Question]Dulce's father has eight orange trees on his farm. If each tree has 200 fruits and Dulce picks 2/5 of the oranges from each tree, calculate the total number of fruits remaining in all the trees.
[Answer]The total number of oranges in all the trees before Dulce picked any is 8 trees * 200 oranges / tree = 1600 oranges. If each orange tree has 200 oranges, and Dulce picks 2 / 5 of each tree's oranges, she picks 2 / 5 * 200 oranges = 80 oranges. Since the total number of orange trees is eight, Dulce picked 8 trees * 80 oranges / tree = 640 oranges from all the trees. After picking 640 oranges from the trees, the total number of oranges remaining became 1600 oranges - 640 oranges = 960 oranges. The answer is 960.
[Question]Zach is saving his money to buy a brand new bike that costs $100. His weekly allowance is $5. His parent will pay him an extra $10 to mow the lawn. His neighbor will pay him $7 per hour to babysit their son. He has already saved up $65. He'll receive his allowance on Friday and he's planning on babysitting for 2 hours this Saturday after he mows the lawn. How much more money does Zach need to earn before he can buy the bike?
[Answer]
If he babysits for 2 hours at $7 per hour, he will earn 2 * 7 = $14. This week he will earn $5 allowance, $10 mowing the lawn and $14 from babysitting for a total of 5 + 10 + 14 = $29. If we add the $29 he will earn to his $65 savings, he will have a total of 29 + 65 = $94. The bike costs $100 and he will have $94 leaving $100 - $94 = $6 more that he will need to earn. The answer is 6.
