[Question]Zayne sells bracelets for $5 each and two for $8. If he started with 30 bracelets and made $60 from selling bracelets for $5 each, how much in total did he make from selling his bracelets?
[Answer]If the bracelets he sold at $5 made $60, he sold $60 / $5 = 12 bracelets. If the total number of $5 bracelets was 12, then the total number of bracelets he sold was 30 - 12 = 18. If he was selling a pair of bracelets at $8, he sold 18 / 2 = 9 pairs. The total amount of money he made from selling the nine pairs is $8 * 9 = $72. His total earnings from selling all of his bracelets are $72 + $60 = $132. The answer is 132.
Q: Ginger likes to make cakes for every holiday for people. She has 2 children, each of whom she bakes a cake for on their birthdays, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. She has a husband for whom she makes a cake on these same holidays, as well as on their anniversary and Valentine's Day. Lastly, she makes both her parents cakes as well, but only for their birthdays since they live far away. How many cakes does she make in 10 years?
A: Ginger has 2 children whom she bakes for 4 times a year, for 2 * 4 = 8 cakes. She makes her husband 6 cakes a year. She makes each of her 2 parents a cake for 2 * 1 = 2 cakes. On a yearly basis, she therefore makes 8 + 6 + 2 = 16 cakes. In 10 years, she would make 16 * 10 = 160 cakes. The answer is 160.
Question: One dandelion seed floated onto Mrs. Middleton's lawn, landed on good soil, and began to grow. After one month, the dandelion plant had grown to full size and developed a flower. At the end of the second month, the flower turned to 50 fluffy, white seeds, which blew onto the lawn. Only half of these seeds landed onto good soil, germinated, and began to grow, just as the first seed had done. If each of these new seedling plants produces the same number of seeds in the same amount of time as the original plant, what is the total number of seeds that these newest plants will produce in two months' time?
Answer: Half of the 50 seeds, or 50 / 2 = 25 seeds germinated and grew. If each of the 25 plants produces 50 seeds, then a total of 25 * 50 = 1250 seeds would be produced. The answer is 1250.

Q: Mona plays a multiplayer video game on the weekends. She joins groups with four other players to complete objectives in the game. The past weekend, she joined 9 groups.

A: Mona joined 9 groups, so she played with 9 * 4 = 36 people. She grouped with 2 + 1 = 3 people twice. Thus, she played with 36 - 3 = 33 unique players that weekend. The answer is 33.
