Answer the following question.
Gwen received a $900 bonus at work and decided to invest this money in the stock market. She spent one-third of her bonus on stock A, one-third on stock B, and the remaining one-third on stock C. After one year, stock A and stock B had doubled in value, while stock C had lost half of its value. At the end of the year, how much were Gwen's stocks worth, in dollars?
Step-by-step reasoning process: One - third of her bonus was $900 / 3 = $300. After one year, stock A doubled in value and was worth $300 * 2 = $600. After one year, stock B doubled in value and was worth $300 * 2 = $600. After one year, stock C had lost half its value and was worth $300 / 2 = $150. Altogether, at the end of the year, Gwen's stocks were worth $600 + $600 + $150 = $1350.
The answer is 1350.

Answer the following question.
Ron's baseball team scored 270 points in the year. There are 9 players on the team. If 5 of them averaged 50 points each, how many points did the remainder average?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first five players scored a total of 250 points because 5 x 50 = 250. There are 4 players left because 9 - 5 = 4. The 4 remaining players scored 20 points because 270 - 250 = 20. The 4 remaining players averaged 5 points because 20 / 4 = 5.
The answer is 5.

Answer the following question.
A local business was selling 25 raffle tickets to raise money for charity. Each ticket cost $2.00 apiece. They sold all the tickets and also received 2 $15 donations and a $20 donation. How much money did they raise?
Step-by-step reasoning process: They sold 25 raffle tickets at $2.00 a piece so 25 * 2 = $50.00. They received 2 $15.00 donations so 2 * 15 = $30. With another donation of $20, in total, they raised 50 + 30 + 20 = $100.00.
The answer is 100.

Answer the following question.
Paityn has 20 red hats and 24 blue hats. Her friend Zola has 4/5 times as many red hats as she has and twice the number of blue hats. If they combine all the hats together and share them equally between themselves, calculate the number of hats each gets.
Step-by-step reasoning process: Paityn has a total of 20 hats + 24 hats = 44 hats. The number of red hats that Zola has is 4 / 5 * 20 hats = 16 hats. Zola also has 2 * 24 hats = 48 blue hats. Zola has a total of 48 hats + 16 hats = 64 hats. When they combine their hats, they have 64 hats + 44 hats = 108 hats. If they share the hats equally, each get 108 hats / 2 people = 54 hats / person.
The answer is 54.
