Q: 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?
A: 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.
Question: Studying for her test, Mitchell had read ten chapters of a book before 4 o'clock. When it clocked 4, Mitchell had read 20 pages of the 11th chapter of the book she was studying from. After 4 o'clock, she didn't read the remaining pages of chapter eleven but proceeded and read 2 more chapters of the book. If each chapter in the book had 40 pages, calculate the total number of pages that Mitchell had read altogether?
Answer: Since each chapter of the book has 40 pages, Mitchell had read 10 * 40 = 400 pages from the first ten chapters. After reading 20 pages of the eleventh chapter, the total number of pages that Mitchell had read is 400 + 20 = 420. The next two chapters that she read had 2 * 40 = 80 pages. In total, Mitchell read 420 + 80 = 500 pages of the book that day. The answer is 500.
[Question]Elsie has a specific amount of wet wipes in a container in the morning. Throughout the day, she refills the container with 10 more wipes after using up 20. By nighttime, she only has 60 wipes left. How many wipes were in the container in the morning?
[Answer]Let w be the number of wet wipes Elsie had in the morning. Throughout the day, she used w - 20 wet wipes. Once that happened, she had to refill the container resulting in w - 20 + 10 = w - 10 wet wipes. By nighttime, she had w - 10 = 60 wipes. So then, w = 60 + 10 = 70. She started with w = 70 wipes. The answer is 70.
Q: At his craftwork store, Howard has a collection of 70 wooden bowls where he rewards two to his customers for every 10 they buy. If he had 20 customers that day, half of whom bought 20 bowls each, calculate the number of bowls remaining in the rewards collection.
A: Half of the 20 customers, which is 1 / 2 * 20 = 10 bought 20 bowls each, receiving 2 for every 10. The total number of reward bowls each customer who bought 20 bowls received is 2 + 2 = 4. If 10 customers bought 20 bowls, Howard gave away 4 * 10 = 40 bowls as rewards. The total number of reward bowls that remained is 70 - 40 = 30. The answer is 30.
