[Question]A movie theater company is advertising a deal of a movie ticket, a bucket of popcorn, a drink, and a box of candy for $20. Normally, a movie ticket costs $8, a bucket of popcorn costs three dollars less, a drink costs a dollar more than popcorn, and a candy costs half as much as a drink. How many dollars does the deal save a customer who buys a ticket, popcorn, drink, and candy normally?
[Answer]The popcorn costs 8 - 3 = $5. The drink costs 5 + 1 = $6. The candy costs 6 / 2 = $3. The normal price is 8 + 5 + 6 + 3 = $22. Thus, the deal saves a customer 22 - 20 = $2. The answer is 2.
Q: Sam has 3 German Shepherds and 4 French Bulldogs. Peter wants to buy 3 times as many German Shepherds as Sam has and 2 times as many French Bulldogs as Sam has. How many dogs does Peter want to have?

Question: A factory manufactures cars with 5 doors. The factory was planning to produce 200 cars but due to metal shortages, they decreased the production by 50 cars. Due to a pandemic, they also had to cut production by another 50%. How many doors will the factory produce?
Answer: The factory due to shortages will produce 200 - 50 = 150 cars. Due to the pandemic, they will now produce 150 / 2 = 75 cars. The company will have to manufacture 75 * 5 = 375 doors. The answer is 375.
[Question]A tank with a capacity of 8000 gallons is 3/4 full. Daxton empty's the tank by 40% of the total volume of water in the tank to water his vegetable farm. He then fills the tank with 30% of the volume of water remaining in the tank. Calculate the final volume of water in the tank.
[Answer]The volume of water that is in the tank initially is 3 / 4 * 8000 = 6000 gallons. When Daxton empties 40% of the water, he pumps out 40 / 100 * 6000 = 2400 gallons of water. The total volume of water remaining in the tank is 6000 - 2400 = 3600 gallons. Daxton then fills the tank with 30 / 100 * 3600 = 1080 gallons of water. The final volume of water in the tank is 3600 + 1080 = 4680 gallons. The answer is 4680.
Q: Flies are Betty's frog's favorite food. Every day the frog eats 2 flies. Betty puts the flies she finds in a bottle. In the morning Betty catches 5 flies inside a bottle, and in the afternoon she catches 6 more, but when she removes the lid, one escapes. Betty wants to gather the whole week's food for her frog. How many more flies does she need?
A: The frog eats 2 flies / day * 7 days / week = 14 flies a week. Betty catches flies in the morning and in the afternoon, for a total of 5 flies + 6 flies = 11 flies. But 1 fly escapes, leaving 11 flies - 1 fly = 10 flies. To get her frog's food for the whole week, Betty needs 14 flies - 10 flies = 4 more flies. The answer is 4.
