Question: Scout delivers groceries on the weekends. His base pay is $10.00 an hour. He also earns a $5.00 tip per customer that he delivers groceries to. On Saturday he worked 4 hours and delivered groceries to 5 people. Sunday he worked 5 hours and delivered groceries to 8 people. How much did he make over the weekend?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He worked 4 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 hours. His base pay is $10.00 an hour and he worked 9 hours for a total of 10 * 9 = $90.00. He delivered groceries to 5 people on Saturday and 8 people on Sunday for a total of 5 + 8 = 13 deliveries. He makes $5.00 per delivery and he delivered to 13 people so he made 5 * 13 = $65.00. His base pay is $90.00 and he made $65.00 in tips for a total of 90 + 65 = $155.00.
So the answer is 155.

Question: Tim buys a cabinet for $1200 and gets a 15% discount. How much did he pay?

Question: Mark just got a new puppy that cost $10. He also bought enough food for 3 weeks. He knows the puppy eats 1/3 cup of food a day. A bag of food with 3.5 cups costs $2. How much did all of this cost him?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: He needs food for 21 days because 3 x 7 = 21. The puppy will eat 7 cups of food because 21 x (1 / 3) = 7. He needs 2 bags of food because 7 / 3.5 = 2. The food will cost him $4 because 2 x 2 = 4. It will cost $14 in total because 10 + 4 = 14.
So the answer is 14.

Question: In a jar that has 50 ants, the number of ants in the jar doubles each hour. How many ants will be in the jar after 5 hours?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: After first hour, 50 * 2 = 100 ants. After the second hour, 100 * 2 = 200 ants. After the third hour, 200 * 2 = 400 ants. After the fourth hour, 400 * 2 = 800 ants. After the fifth hour, 800 * 2 = 1600 ants.
So the answer is 1600.
