Q: At Theo's cafe, he makes 3 egg and 4 egg omelettes. His cafe is open from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. In the first hour, 5 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second hour, 7 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. In the third hour, 3 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the last hour, 8 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. How many eggs does Theo need to make all the omelettes?
A: In the first and third hour, 5 + 3 = 8 customers order the 3 egg omelettes. In the second and last hour, 7 + 8 = 15 customers order the 4 egg omelettes. To make the 3 egg omelettes, Theo needs 3 x 8 = 24 eggs. To make the 4 egg omelettes, Theo needs 15 x 4 = 60 eggs. To make all the omelettes, he needs 24 + 60 = 84 eggs. The answer is 84.
Question: John has 25 horses. He feeds each horse twice a day and feeds them 20 pounds of food at each feeding. He buys half ton bags of food. How many of those will he have to buy in 60 days?
Answer: He feeds each horse 2 * 20 = 40 pounds of food a day. So he uses 40 * 25 = 1000 pounds of food a day. That means in 60 days he uses 60 * 1000 = 60000 pounds of food. Each bag of food is 2000 * .5 = 1000 pounds. So he needs to buy 60000 / 1000 = 60 bags of food. The answer is 60.
[Question]John has to get a new blanket. He decides to have a 7 foot by 8-foot quilt made. The quilt costs $40 per square foot. How much does his quilt cost?

Q: A pet shop has 2 puppies and some kittens. A puppy costs $20, and a kitten costs $15. If the stock is worth $100, how many kittens does the pet shop have?
A: The 2 puppies cost 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. The stock is worth 100 dollars, meaning that the kittens cost 100 - 40 = 60 dollars. Since the cost of a kitten is 15 dollars, the pet shop has 60 / 15 = 4 kittens. The answer is 4.
Question: Louis is making himself a velvet suit for a formal event. The velvet fabric he chose was $24 per yard. He bought a pattern for $15, and two spools of silver thread for $3 each. If he spent $141 for the pattern, thread, and fabric, how many yards of fabric did he buy?
Answer: Let V be the number of yards of velvet fabric Louis bought. The silver thread cost 2 * 3 = $6. He spent 24V + 15 + 6 = $141 on the suit. The fabric cost 24V = 141 - 15 - 6 = $120. Thus, Louis bought V = 120 / 24 = 5 yards of fabric. The answer is 5.
Q: There are 3 boxes of cereal. One box holds 14 ounces of cereal. Another box holds half the amount of the first box and 5 ounces less than the third box. How much cereal is there in all 3 cereal boxes?
