What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Last year Ella made a total of $100 / (40 / 100) = $250. This year with her raise, Ella's salary will be $250 * (110 / 100) = $275.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Since it is Maurice's turn to host this year's neighborhood cookout, he goes to the local wholesale club to buy ground beef. The wholesale club sells ground beef in 5-pound packages. Maurice wants to make one 2-pound burger for each person that attends, so he purchases 4 packages of ground beef. How many people can Maurice invite to the cookout so that everybody, including himself, gets a burger?
A: 9
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Maurice buys 4 * 5 = 20 pounds of ground beef. If 2 pounds of ground beef make a burger, then he can make 20 / 2 = 10 burgers. Given that Maurice will have 1 burger, he can invite 10 - 1 = 9 people.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Kyle makes $3200.00 every month. His monthly bills include $1250 for rent, $150 on utilities, $400 into retirement & savings accounts, $300.00 on groceries/eating out, $200 for insurance and $200 for miscellaneous expenses. If he's looking at buying a car with a monthly car payment of $350 how much does that leave for gas and maintenance?
A: 350
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Kyle's monthly bills are 1250 + 150 + 400 + 300 + 200 + 200 = $2,500.00. He makes $3200 and his bills are $2500 so that leaves 3200 - 2500 = $700.00. If he buys a car with a monthly car payment of $350 then that leaves 700 - 350 = $350.00 left over for gas and maintenance.

Consider the Q and A. Q: Wade is the star player of the basketball team. His average points per game is 20, and his teammates' average points per game is 40. How many points will their team have in total after 5 games?
A: 300
What is the step-by-step reasoning process?
Step-by-step reasoning process:
Wade's points is 5 x 20 = 100 after 5 games. His teammates points is 40 x 5 = 200 after 5 games. So, the total score of the whole team is 100 + 200 = 300 after five games.".
