[Question]In the baking contest, three times as many people voted for the unicorn cake compared to the witch cake, and the number of votes for the dragon cake was 25 more than the number of votes for the witch cake. If 7 people voted for the witch cake, how many votes were cast total?
[Answer]First find the number of votes for the unicorn cake: 7 votes * 3 = 21 votes. Then find the number of votes for the dragon cake: 25 votes + 7 votes = 32 votes. Then add the number of votes for each cake to find the total number of votes: 21 votes + 32 votes + 7 votes = 60 votes. The answer is 60.
Q: There were 180 apples in each crate. 12 such crates of apples were delivered to a factory. 160 apples were rotten and had to be thrown away. The remaining apples were packed into boxes of 20 apples each. How many boxes of apples were there?
A: The total number of apples delivered was: 180 apples x 12 crates = 2160 apples. So, the number of remaining apples after throwing away the rotten ones was: 2160 apples 160 apples = 2000 apples. And now, we can find the total number of boxes of apples by dividing the remaining number of apples by the number of apples per box: 2000 apples / 20 apples / box = 100 boxes of apples. The answer is 100.

Q: Nate got lost looking for his car in the airport parking lot. He had to walk through every row in Section G and Section H to find it. Section G has 15 rows that each hold 10 cars. Section H has 20 rows that each hold 9 cars. If Nate can walk past 11 cars per minute, how many minutes did he spend searching the parking lot?
A: First find the number of cars in Section G by multiplying the number of rows by the number of cars per row: 15 rows * 10 cars / row = 150 cars. Then do the same thing for Section H: 20 rows * 9 cars / row = 180 cars. Then add the two quantities of cars to find the total number of cars Nate walked past: 150 cars + 180 cars = 330 cars. Finally, divide the number of cars Nate passed by the numbers he passes each minute to find how long he spent searching: 330 cars / 11 cars / minute = 30 minutes. The answer is 30.
Question: 68% of all pies are eaten with forks. If there are 2000 pies of all kinds, how many of the pies are not eaten with forks?
Answer:
If there are 2000 pies of all kinds, and 68% of all pies are eaten with forks, there are 68 / 100 * 2000 = 1360 pies eaten with forks. The number of pies that are not eaten with pie is 2000 - 1360 = 640. The answer is 640.
