Question: Jenna is buying concert tickets for her group of five friends. She's able to get two of the tickets from the concert website for $50 each before they sell out. A scalper offers to sell her two more tickets for 240% of the normal price, but Jenna convinces him to give her $10 off that total payment. Finally, one of her friends gets a discounted ticket through her job for 60% of the normal price. How much do Jenna's friends pay for their tickets in total?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First calculate the price of the two normally priced tickets by multiplying the price and the quantity: $50 * 2 = $100. Then calculate the scalper's initial asking price by multiplying the normal cost of two tickets by 240%: $100 * 2.4 = $240. Then subtract the $10 discount Jenna negotiated: $240 - $10 = $230. Now calculate the price of the discounted ticket Jenna's friend gets through her job by multiplying the normal ticket price by 60%: $50 * .6 = $30. Finally, add up the price of all the tickets to find the total: $100 + $230 + $30 = $360.
So the answer is 360.

Question: Jeremie wants to go to an amusement park with 3 friends at the end of summer. Tickets are $18 for children and a set of snack cost $5. How much will it cost Jeremie and her 3 friends to go to the amusement park and buy each of them a set of snacks?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 1 + 3 = 4 of them who will go to the park. The ticket and a set of snack cost $18 + $5 = $23. So, it will cost Jerimee and her 3 friends $23 x 4 = $92.
So the answer is 92.

Question: 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.
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: 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.
So the answer is 58000.

Question: In the matrix, there are seven fewer noodles than pirates. If there are 45 pirates, how many noodles and pirates are there in total?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: In the matrix, there are seven fewer noodles than pirates, meaning there are 45 - 7 = 38 noodles. The number of noodles and pirates in the matrix is 38 + 45 = 83.
So the answer is 83.
