Reasoning & answer: CoT: Michael has used 1,100 rubber bands because 22 x 50 = 1,100. Michael has 3,900 rubber bands remaining because 5,000 - 1,100 = 3,900. Michael can make 13 large balls because 3,900 / 300 = 13.
The answer: 13

Reasoning & answer: CoT: If Melina is three times as old as Alma, and she is 60, Alma is 60 / 3 = 20 years old. The sum of their ages is 60 + 20 = 80 years. Since the sum of Alma and Melina's age is twice the total number of points Alma scored in a test, Alma's score in the test was 80 / 2 = 40 points.
The answer: 40
Question: The sum of the ages of two friends, Alma and Melina, is twice the total number of points Alma scored in a test. If Melina is three times as old as Alma, and she is 60, calculate Alma's score in the test?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: Mr. Grey had a $100 000 x 10 / 100 = $10,000 profit. So, Mr. Grey sold the house to Mr. Brown for $100 000 + $10 000 = $110,000. Mr. Brown sold the house $110 000 x 10 / 100 = $11,000 less than its purchased price. Thus, Mr. Brown sold it for $110 000 - $11 000 = $99,000 to his friend.
The answer: 99000
Question: Mr. Grey's house was worth $100,000. He sold the house to Mr. Brown at a profit of 10%. After one year, Mr. Brown sold the house to his other friend with a 10% loss. How much was Mr. Brown's selling price?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: If the ratio of red candles to blue candles Avianna bought was 5:3, then the total ratio was 5 + 3 = 8. If 5 represented 45 candles in the total ratio, then 8, the actual ratio, represents 8 * 45 = 360 divided by 5 is 360 / 5 = 72 candles. If the total number of candles was 72, then the number of blue candles is 72 candles - 45 candles = 27 candles.
The answer: 27
