Q: Jessica is having a sweet tooth and bought 10 chocolate bars, 10 packs of gummy bears, and 20 bags of chocolate chips. Her total rang up to $150. If the cost of a pack of gummy bears is $2 and a bag of chocolate chips costs $5, how much does 1 chocolate bar cost?
A: The gummy bears cost 10 * 2 = $20. The chocolate chips cost 5 * 20 = $100. The total cost for these two is 100 + 20 = $120. The chocolate bars in total cost 150 - 120 = $30. A single chocolate bar costs 30 / 10 = $3. The answer is 3.

[Question]Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog. If in 6 years, Tom's brother will be 30 years, how old is Tom's dog going to be in six years?
[Answer]If in six years Tom's brother will be 30 years old, he is currently 30 - 6 = 24 years old. Since Tom's brother is 4 times as old as Tom's dog, Tom's dog is 24 / 4 = 6 years old currently. Tom's dog will be 6 + 6 = 12 years old in six years. The answer is 12.
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.
Question: A monkey swings from branch to branch at an average distance of 1.2 meters per second. How far will a monkey swing in meters if it consistently swings from branches for 30 minutes?
Answer: If a monkey swings 1.2 meters a second then a monkey can swing 1.2 meters / second * 60 seconds / minute = 72 meters in a minute. If a monkey swings 72 meters in a minute then a monkey can swing 72 meters / min * 30 minutes = 2,160 meters in 30 minutes. The answer is 2160.
Q: Tina buys 3 12-packs of soda for a party. Including Tina, 6 people are at the party. Half of the people at the party have 3 sodas each, 2 of the people have 4 and 1 person has 5. How many sodas are left over when the party is over?
A:
Tina buys 3 12 - packs of soda, for 3 * 12 = 36 sodas. 6 people attend the party, so half of them is 6 / 2 = 3 people. Each of those people drinks 3 sodas, so they drink 3 * 3 = 9 sodas. Two people drink 4 sodas, which means they drink 2 * 4 = 8 sodas. With one person drinking 5, that brings the total drank to 5 + 9 + 8 = 22 sodas. As Tina started off with 36 sodas, that means there are 36 - 22 = 14 sodas left. The answer is 14.
