Question: There are 4 alligators living on a golf course in Florida. If the number of alligators doubles every six months, how many alligators will there be at the end of a year?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First figure out how many times the alligator population doubles in one year by dividing the number of months in a year by the number of months it takes the population to double: 12 months / 6 months = 2. The alligator population doubles twice. Now double the alligator population once: 4 alligators * 2 = 8 alligators. Now double it again: 8 alligators * 2 = 16 alligators.
So the answer is 16.

Question: Arthur wants to sell his basketball card collection and use the money to buy comic books. The store owner tells him that each card is worth 5 cents and comic books cost $6 each. If Arthur sells all 2,000 cards of his and buys as many comic books as he can, how much money does he have leftover?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Arthur makes $100 because .05 x 2000 = 100. Arthur can buy 16 comic books because 100 / 6 = 16 and (2 / 3). The comic books cost $96 because 16 x 6 = 96. He has $4 leftover because 100 - 96 = 4.
So the answer is 4.
