Question and rationale: The question is: Wendy is a fruit vendor, and she sells an apple at $1.50 each and one orange at $1. In the morning, she was able to sell an average of 40 apples and 30 oranges. In the afternoon, she was able to sell 50 apples and 40 oranges. How much are her total sales for the day?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There were an average of 40 + 50 = 90 apples. And, there were 30 + 40 = 70 oranges. Thus, Wendy gained 90 x $1.50 = $135 for selling apples. And, she gained an additional 70 x $1 = $70 for selling oranges. Therefore, her total sales for the day is $135 + 70 = $205.

Question and rationale: The question is: The age of a lioness in a park is twice the age of a hyena in the same park. The lioness is 12 years old. If the babies of the two animals are half the age of their mothers, calculate the sum of the age of the babies in five years.
Step-by-step reasoning process: If the lioness is 12 years old, the hyena, half her age, is 12 / 2 = 6 years old. The baby of the lioness is 12 / 2 = 6 years old, half the mother's age. Five years from now, the age of the lioness's cub will be 6 + 5 = 11. The baby of the hyena is 6 / 2 = 3 years old, which is half the mother's age. The hyena's baby will be 3 + 5 = 8 years old in five years. Together, the total age of the babies will be 8 + 11 = 19 years in five years.
