Question: Nancy and Rose are making bracelets, and there are eight beads in each bracelet. Nancy has 40 metal beads and 20 more pearl beads. Rose has 20 crystal beads and twice as many stone beads as crystal beads. How many bracelets can Nancy and Rose make?
Answer: Nancy has 40 + 20 = 60 pearl beads. So, Nancy has a total of 40 + 60 = 100 beads. Rose has 2 x 20 = 40 stone beads. So, Rose has 20 + 40 = 60 beads. Thus, Nancy and Rose have 100 + 60 = 160 beads altogether. Therefore, they can make 160 / 8 = 20 bracelets. The answer is 20.
[Question]CJ, KJ, and AJ collect stamps. CJ has 5 more than twice the number of stamps that KJ has, and KJ has half as many as AJ. If the three boys have 930 stamps all together, how many stamps does AJ have?
[Answer]Let x represent the number of stamps for AJ. KJ:x / 2 stamps. CJ:5 + 2(x / 2) = 5 + x. Total:x + (x / 2) + 5 + x = 930. (5 / 2)x + 5 = 930. (5 / 2)x = 925. x = 925(2 / 5) = 370 stamps. The answer is 370.
Q: A pet store has six dogs for sale. They have half as many cats, twice as many birds, and thrice as many fish for sale. How many animals are for sale in the pet store?
A: The pet store has 6 / 2 = 3 cats for sale. They have 6 x 2 = 12 birds for sale. They have 6 x 3 = 18 birds for sale. Therefore, there are a total of 6 + 3 + 12 + 18 = 39 pets for sale. The answer is 39.
Question: John buys 30 ducks for $10 each. They weigh 4 pounds and he sells them for $5 per pound. How much profit did he make?
Answer: He bought the ducks for 30 * 10 = $300. He sold each duck for 4 * 5 = $20. So he sold all the ducks for 30 * 20 = $600. So he made a profit of 600 - 300 = $300. The answer is 300.
[Question]A mother buys a box of sweets. She kept 1/3 of the sweets and divided the rest between her 3 children. The eldest got 8 sweets while the youngest got half as many. If there are 27 pieces of sweets in the box, how many sweets did the second child gets?
[Answer]The mother kept 27 x 1 / 3 = 9 pieces of sweets. So there were 27 - 9 = 18 sweets that were divided between the 3 children. The youngest child got 8 / 2 = 4 sweets. So the eldest and the youngest got a total of 8 + 4 = 12 sweets. Therefore, the second child gets 18 - 12 = 6 sweets. The answer is 6.
