Question and rationale: The question is: Mikey likes his honey cluster of oats cereal. In each spoonful, there are 4 clusters of oats. In each bowl of cereal, he gets 25 spoonfuls of cereal. If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, how many bowlfuls of cereal are in each box?
Step-by-step reasoning process: If each spoonful contains 4 clusters of oats, and each bowl of cereal has 25 spoonfuls, then in each bowl there are 4 * 25 = 100 clusters of oats. And If each box of cereal contains 500 clusters of oats, then there are 500 / 100 = 5 bowlfuls of cereal in every box.

Question and rationale: The question is: Before he lost one, Policeman O'Brien had 5 more than twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson. If fire chief Simpson has 15 hats, how many hats does Policeman O'Brien now have?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Twice as many hats as fire chief Simpson has is 2 * 15 = 30 hats. 5 more than 30 hats is 30 + 5 = 35 hats. One less than 35 hats is 35 - 1 = 34 hats.

Question and rationale: The question is: 5 years ago, a mother was twice as old as her daughter. If the mother is 41 years old now, how old will the daughter be in 3 years?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The mother is 41 years old now, so 5 years ago she was 41 - 5 = 36 years old. At that time the daughter's age was half hers so the daughter was 36 / 2 = 18 years old. Now (5 years after that time) the daughter is 18 + 5 = 23 years old. In 3 years, the daughter will be 23 + 3 = 26 years old.

Question and rationale:
The question is: Mrs. Smith wanted to buy wears worth $500. She went to a boutique with the $500 but by the time she had picked out everything she liked, she realized that she would need two-fifths more money than she had. If the shop owner gave her a discount of 15%, how much more money will she still need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Two fifths of $500 is (2 / 5) * $500 = $200. She needed $200 more than $500 which is $200 + $500 = $700. 15% of $700 is (15 / 100) * $700 = $105. She was given a $105 discount so she has to pay $700 - $105 = $595. She would still need $595 - $500 = $95.
