We have a question: Borris liquor store uses 90 kilograms of grapes every 6 months. He is thinking of increasing his production by twenty percent. How many grapes does he need in a year after increasing his production?
And an answer: 216
So how you got the answer?
Borris uses 90 x 2 = 180 kilograms of grapes per year. The increase of kilograms of grapes he needed per year is 180 x 0.20 = 36. Therefore, Borris needs 180 + 36 = 216 kilograms of grapes in a year.

We have a question: Frank has three less than half the number of cookies as Mike. Mike has three times as many cookies as Millie. If Millie has 4 cookies, how many cookies does Frank have?

Mike has 4 * 3 = 12 cookies. Frank has 12 / 2 - 3 = 3 cookies.

We have a question: James and Ali together own $250. If you know that James owns $40 more than Ali, then calculate the amount owned by James.
And an answer: 145
So how you got the answer?
Let X be the amount owned by James. The amount owned by Ali is X - $40. The total amount owned by both of them X + (X - $40) = $250. Combining like terms, we get X * 2 - $40 = $250. Adding $40 to both sides, we get X * 2 = $290. Dividing both sides by 2, we get X = $145.
