Q: Nathan planted 5 strawberry plants and 7 tomato plants. He harvested 14 strawberries from each plant and 16 tomatoes from each plant. He then distributed the strawberries and tomatoes into baskets of 7. He sold a basket of strawberries for $9 and a basket of tomatoes for $6. How much money does Nathan make from his harvest?
A: Nathan harvested a total of 5 x 14 = 70 strawberries. He harvested a total of 7 x 16 = 112 tomatoes. He was able to fill 70 / 7 = 10 baskets with strawberries. He was able to fill 112 / 7 = 16 baskets with tomatoes. He made 10 x $9 = $90 from the strawberries. He made 16 x $ 6 = $96 from the tomatoes. All together, he made $90 + $96 = $186 from his harvest. The answer is 186.

Q: Bruce buys 5 packs of crayons at $5 each, 10 books at $5 each, and 3 calculators at $5 each. If he has $200, how many bags can he buy with the change if one costs $10 each?
A: He pays 5 * 5 = $25 for buying crayons. He pays 10 * 5 = $50 for buying books. He pays 3 * 5 = $15 for buying calculators. The change he has for buying bags is 200 - 25 - 50 - 15 = $110. The number of bags he can buy is 110 / 10 = 11 bags. The answer is 11.

Q: There are 16 people at a dinner party. There are 40 dinner rolls available for them. Half the people eat 1 1/2 rolls each. The other half eat 1/2 a roll each. How many dinner rolls are leftover?
A:
Half the people at the party is 16 / 2 = 8 people. 8 people at the party eat 1 1 / 2 rolls each, 8 x 1 1 / 2 = 12 dinner rolls eaten. 8 people at the party eat 1 / 2 a roll each, 8 x 1 / 2 = 4 dinner rolls eaten. Combined, the people at the party ate 12 + 4 = 16 dinner rolls. There were originally 40 dinner rolls - 16 that got eaten = 24 dinner rolls leftover. The answer is 24.
