Q: Jimmy wants to order a pizza at a new place. The large pizza costs $10.00 and is cut into 8 slices. The first topping costs $2.00, the next 2 toppings cost $1.00 each and the rest of the toppings cost $0.50. If he orders a large pizza with pepperoni, sausage, ham, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple. How much will his pizza cost per slice?
A: 2
Step-by-step reasoning process: The pizza costs $10 and the first topping, pepperoni costs $2 so right now it costs 10 = 2 = $12.00. The next 2 toppings, sausage and ham, cost $1.00 each so 2 * 1 = $2.00. The remaining toppings, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple, cost $0.50 each so they cost 4 * .50 = $2.00. All total, Jimmy's pizza costs 12 + 2 + 2 = $16.00. The pizza is sliced into 8 pieces and the pizza costs $16 so each slice costs 16 / 8 = $2.00 a slice.

Q: Laran has started a poster business. She is selling 5 posters per day at school. Two posters per day are her large posters that sell for $10. The large posters cost her $5 to make. The remaining posters are small posters that sell for $6. They cost $3 to produce. How much profit, in dollars, does Laran make per 5-day school week?
A: 95
Step-by-step reasoning process: The profit made for each large poster is $10 - $5 = $5. Each day Laran earns $5 * 2 = $10 from selling large posters. The profit made for each small poster is $6 - $3 = $3. Each day Laran earns $3 * 3 = $9 from selling small posters. Laran makes a total profit of $10 + $9 = $19 per day. For a 5 day school week, Laran makes a profit of 5 * $19 = $95.

Q: A zoo has 16 pandas, paired into mates (in the same zoo). Only 25% of the panda couples get pregnant after mating. If they each have one baby, how many panda babies are born?
A: 2
Step-by-step reasoning process: First divide the number of pandas by 2 to find the number of couples: 16 pandas / 2 = 8 panda couples. Then multiply that number by 25% to find the number of babies: 8 panda couples * 25% = 2 panda babies.
