[Question]Caitlin makes bracelets to sell at the farmer's market every weekend. Each bracelet takes twice as many small beads as it does large beads. If each bracelet uses 12 large beads, and Caitlin has 528 beads with equal amounts of large and small beads, how many bracelets can she make for this weekend?
[Answer]Caitlin has 528 / 2 = 264 small beads. Each bracelet needs 12 * 2 = 24 small beads. Thus, Caitlin can make 264 / 24 = 11 bracelets for the farmer's market this weekend. The answer is 11.

Q: Five years ago, there were 500 old books in the library. Two years ago, the librarian bought 300 books. Last year, the librarian bought 100 more books than she had bought the previous year. This year, the librarian donated 200 of the library's old books. How many books are in the library now?
A: Last year the librarian bought 300 + 100 = 400 books. Thus, there were 500 + 300 + 400 = 1200 books as of last year. Therefore, there are 1200 - 200 = 1000 books now in the library. The answer is 1000.
Question: A washing machine uses 20 gallons of water for a heavy wash, 10 gallons of water for a regular wash, and 2 gallons of water for a light wash per load of laundry. If bleach is used, there is an extra light wash cycle added to rinse the laundry thoroughly. There are two heavy washes, three regular washes, and one light wash to do. Two of the loads need to be bleached. How many gallons of water will be needed?
Answer:
The two heavy washes will use 20 * 2 = 40 gallons of water. The three regular washes will use 10 * 3 = 30 gallons of water. The light wash will use 2 * 1 = 2 gallons of water. The two bleached loads will use an extra 2 * 2 = 4 gallons of water. In all, 40 + 30 + 2 + 4 = 76 gallons of water will be needed. The answer is 76.
