Question and rationale: The question is: Mrs. Amaro has 80 roses in her garden. Three-fourths of her roses are red, one-fourth of the remaining are yellow, and the rest are white. How many of Mrs. Amaro's roses are either red or white?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mrs. Amaro has 80 x 3 / 4 = 60 red roses. So, 80 - 60 = 20 roses are not red. Then, 20 x 1 / 4 = 5 of those 20 non - red roses are yellow. Hence, 20 - 5 = 15 roses are white. Therefore, 60 + 15 = 75 roses are either red or white.

Question and rationale: The question is: There were 28 students inside a bus before stopping at an intersection. After stopping at an intersection, there were 58 students on the bus. What's 40% of the number of students who entered the bus at the intermediate stop?
Step-by-step reasoning process: At the intermediate stop, 58 - 28 = 30 students entered the bus before it stopped at the intersection. 40% of the number of students who entered the bus at the intermediate stop is 40 / 100 * 30 = 12.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Itzayana is 4 inches taller than Zora, who is 8 inches shorter than Brixton. If Zara is 64 inches tall and has the same height as Brixton, calculate the average height of the four people.
Step-by-step reasoning process: Since Brixton has the same height as Zara which is 64 inches, Zora, who is 8 inches shorter than Brixton, is 64 - 8 = 56 inches tall. Zara and Brixton's height is 64 + 64 = 128 inches. If you add Zora's height, the three have a total height of 128 + 56 = 184. Itzayana is 4 inches taller than Zoran which means she is 56 + 4 = 60 inches tall. The total height of the four friends is 60 + 184 = 244. The average height of the three is 244 / 4 = 61.
