Answer the following question.
Mabel has 5 daisies in her garden, and each daisy has 8 petals. If she gives 2 daisies to her teacher, how many petals does she have on the remaining daisies in her garden?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The total number of petals Mabel has in her garden is 5 x 8 = 40 petals. The total number of petals that Mabel gives to her teacher is 2 x 8 = 16 petals. The total number of petals remaining in her garden is 40 - 16 = 24 petals.
The answer is 24.

Answer the following question.
Mary needs school supplies. She has 6 classes and needs 1 folder for each class. She also needs 3 pencils for each class. She decides that for every 6 pencils she should have 1 eraser. She also needs a set of paints for an art class. Folders cost $6, pencils cost $2, and erasers cost $1. If she spends $80, how much did the set of paints cost in dollars?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mary needs 6 * 1 = 6 folders. Mary needs 6 * 3 = 18 pencils. Mary needs 18 / 6 = 3 erasers. Mary spends 6 * 6 = $36 on folders. Mary spends 18 * 2 = $36 on pencils. Mary spends 3 * 1 = $3 on erasers. Mary spends 36 + 36 + 3 = $75 on all the supplies except the paints. Mary spends 80 - 75 = $5 on the paint set.
The answer is 5.

Answer the following question.
Crystal wanted to sell everything left in her pastry class before closing for the night. She reduced her $3.00 cupcakes and her $2.00 cookies by half. How much money did she make if she sold the last 16 cupcakes and 8 cookies?
Step-by-step reasoning process: She reduced the price of the $3.00 cupcakes by half so they are now 3 / 2 = $1.50. She reduced the price of the $2.00 cookies by half so they are now 2 / 2 = $1.00. She sold 16 cupcakes at $1.50 each so she made = 16 * 1.50 = $24.00. She sold 8 cookies at $1.00 each so she made 8 * 1 = $8.00. She made $24.00 from the cupcakes and $8.00 from the cookies for a total of 24 + 8 = $32.00.
The answer is 32.

Answer the following question.
Addilynn went to the grocery store and bought six dozen eggs for use in her house. After two weeks, she used half of the eggs, then accidentally broke 15 of the remaining eggs while moving them to clean the shelves. How many eggs are left on the shelf?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Since a dozen has 12 eggs, the total number of eggs that Addilynn bought is 6 dozen * 12 eggs / dozen = 72 eggs. If she used half of the eggs, the number of eggs left is 72 eggs / 2 = 36 eggs. While moving the eggs to clean the shelves, she broke 15 eggs, leaving 36 eggs - 15 eggs = 21 eggs.
The answer is 21.
