Q: Francine has five full boxes of crayons and 5 loose crayons, and her friend has 27 loose crayons. They need to put all of their loose crayons in a box. How many more boxes do they need if Francine has a total of 85 crayons?
A: Francine has 85 - 5 = 80 crayons in total that are in the boxes. Thus, each box of crayons is filled with 80 / 5 = 16 crayons. A total of 5 + 27 = 32 crayons need to be placed in the boxes. Therefore, they still need 32 / 16 = 2 boxes for the loose crayons. The answer is 2.
Question: Donovan Mitchell is currently averaging 26 points per game. His team has played 15 games this season. He has a goal of averaging 30 points per game for the entire 20 game season. How many points does he need to average per game to reach his goal?
Answer: At this point in the season, Donovan has scored 26 * 15 = 390 points. To reach his goal of 30 points per game, he would have to finish the season with a total of 30 * 20 = 600 points. For the remaining 5 games, Donovan needs to score 600 - 390 = 210 points. Therefore, he needs to average 210 / 5 = 42 points per game. The answer is 42.
[Question]There were 90 people at the summer picnic. There were 50 soda cans, 50 plastic bottles of sparkling water, and 50 glass bottles of juice. One-half of the guests drank soda, one-third of the guests drank sparkling water, and four-fifths of the juices were consumed. How many recyclable cans and bottles were collected?
[Answer]The soda cans were consumed by 90 / 2 = 45 guests. The sparkling water was consumed by 90 / 3 = 30 guests. The juice bottles were consumed by 4 / 5 x 50 = 40 guests. In total there are 45 + 30 + 40 = 115 recyclable cans and bottles. The answer is 115.

Question: Lilith originally had five dozen water bottles that she needed to sell at $2 each to get exactly enough money to buy her friend a birthday gift. However, at the store, Lilith realized she could not sell at $2 because the regular price was $1.85 per water bottle in her town, and she had to reduce her price to $1.85 as well to sell her water bottles. Calculate the total amount of money Lilith will have to find to buy her friend the birthday gift after selling her water bottles at the reduced cost.
Answer: Lilith had 5 dozen water bottles, and since a dozen has 12 water bottles, the total number of water bottles she had was 12 bottles / dozen * 5 dozen = 60 bottles. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith originally had to sell her water bottles for a total of 60 bottles * $2 / bottle = $120. When she reduced the price to $1.85 to meet the regular price, the total amount of money she had from the sales was $1.85 / bottle * 60 bottles = $111. To buy her friend the birthday gift, Lilith has to find $120 - $111 = $9 more. The answer is 9.
