Question: A company is hosting a seminar. So far, 30 attendees from company A have been registered; company B has twice the number of attendees of company A; company C has 10 more attendees than company A; company D has 5 fewer attendees than company C. If a total of 185 attendees have registered, how many attendees who registered are not from either company A, B, C or D?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 30 x 2 = 60 attendees from company B. Company C has 30 + 10 = 40 attendees. Company D has 40 - 5 = 35 registered attendees. So, the total attendees from company A, B, C, and D is 30 + 60 + 40 + 35 = 165. Therefore there are 185 - 165 = 20 attendees that are not from companies A, B, C, or D.
So the answer is 20.

Question: Karen works at an animal shelter with 30 dogs, 28 cats, and 20 lizards. Every month, 50% of the dogs are adopted, 25% of the cats are adopted, and 20% of lizards are adopted. If the shelter takes in 13 new pets a month, how many pets are there after one month?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find how many dogs get adopted each month by multiplying the number of dogs by their chance of getting adopted: 30 dogs * 50% = 15 dogs. Then do the same thing for the cats: 28 cats * 25% = 7 cats. And do the same thing for the lizards: 20 lizards * 20% = 4 lizards. Now add up the number of each kind of pet to find the initial total number of pets: 30 dogs + 28 cats + 20 lizards = 78 pets. Now subtract all the pets that get adopted in one month from the initial number of pets: 78 pets - 15 dogs - 7 cats - 4 lizards = 52 pets. Now add the extra 13 pets the shelter takes in that month to find the final number of pets: 52 pets + 13 pets = 65 pets.
So the answer is 65.

Question: Jenny and Mark are throwing bottle caps. Jenny's bottlecap flies 18 feet straight, then bounces off a street light and flies another 1/3 of the distance it already went. Mark's bottle cap flies 15 feet forward, then bounces off a window and flies twice as far as it already did. How much further did Mark's bottle cap go than Jenny's?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: First find 1 / 3 of the distance Jenny's bottlecap went straight: 18 feet / 3 = 6 feet. Then add that to the distance it flew straight to find the total distance it traveled: 6 feet + 18 feet = 24 feet. Then find twice the distance Mark's bottlecap went straight: 15 feet * 2 = 30 feet. Then add that distance to the distance it flew straight to find the total distance it traveled: 30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet. Then subtract the distance Jenny's bottlecap traveled from the distance Mark's traveled to find the difference: 45 feet - 24 feet = 21 feet.
So the answer is 21.

Question: The price of a home is $98 per square foot (sq ft). The house is 2,400 sq ft and the barn out back is 1,000 sq ft. How much is this property?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: The house is 2,400 sq ft and the barn is 1,000 sq ft so it's 2400 + 1000 = 3,400 sq ft. The price is $98 per sq ft and it's 3,400 sq ft big so the property costs 98 * 3400 = $333,200.00.
So the answer is 333200.
