Question: Christian and Sue wanted to get a $50.00 bottle of perfume for their mom for her birthday. Christian had $5.00 saved up and Sue had $7.00. Christian then mowed 4 of his neighbors' yards, charging $5.00 each, while Sue walked 6 dogs for her neighbors, charging $2.00 per dog. How much more money will Christian and Sue need to make in order to buy the bottle of perfume for their mom?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Christian just mowed 4 yards at $5.00 each so he made 4 * 5 = $20.00. Sue just walked 6 dogs at $2.00 each so she made 6 * 2 = $12.00. Christian had $5.00 saved and just made $20.00 while Sue had $7.00 saved and just made $12.00 so together they had 5 + 20 + 7 + 12 = $44. The perfume cost $50.00 and they had $44.00 so they needed to make 50 - 44 = $6.00 more dollars.
So the answer is 6.

Question: Josie and her family went on a safari and had an exciting time watching different animals grazing and playing together. She decided to count each animal she saw and calculated their total number. She counted 80 antelopes, 34 more rabbits than antelopes, 42 fewer hyenas than the total number of antelopes and rabbits combined, 50 more wild dogs than hyenas, and the number of leopards was half the number of rabbits. What the total number of animals that Josie counted?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The number of rabbits was 80 + 34 = 114. The total number of rabbits and antelopes is 114 + 80 = 194. The number of hyenas was 42 fewer than the combined number of antelopes and rabbits, which is 194 - 42 = 152. The number of wild dogs was 50 more than the number of hyenas, that is 152 + 50 = 202. The number of leopards is 1 / 2 * 114 = 57. The total number of animals Josie saw is 57 + 202 + 152 + 114 + 80 = 605.
So the answer is 605.

Question: Johnny is out walking his two dogs at night, and his son joins him for the walk. How many legs' worth of organisms are traveling together for this walk?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: As Johnny and his son are humans, and humans walk on two legs, this means that between the two of them there are 2 * 2 = 4 legs' worth of organisms. There are two dogs walking along as well, and since dogs walk on 4 legs this means there are 2 * 4 = 8 legs' worth of organisms. We add these two totals together to find there are 4 + 8 = 12 legs' worth of organisms in total.
So the answer is 12.

Question: James is running a fundraiser selling candy bars. Each box has 10 candy bars in it. He sells 5 boxes. He sells each candy bar for $1.50 and buys each bar for $1. How much profit does he make from these sales?
Answer:
Step-by-step reasoning process: He makes 1.5 - 1 = $.5 from each candy bar. He sells 5 * 10 = 50 candy bars. So he makes 50 * .5 = $25.
So the answer is 25.
