[Question]Du Chin bakes 200 meat pies in a day. He sells them for $20 each and uses 3/5 of the sales to buy ingredients to make meat pies for sale on the next day. How much money does Du Chin remain with after setting aside the money for buying ingredients?
[Answer]From the 200 meat pies, Du Chin makes 200 * $20 = $4000 after the sales. The amount of money he uses to buy ingredients to make pies for sale on the next day is 3 / 5 * $4000 = $2400. After setting aside money for buying ingredients, Du Chin remains with $4000 - $2400 = $1600. The answer is 1600.

A: Becky started with 50 necklaces and then got rid of 3, 50 - 3 = 47 necklaces. Becky buys 5 new necklaces that week, 47 + 5 = 52 necklaces. She gives 17 of her necklaces as gifts to friends, 52 - 15 = 37 necklaces Becky owns now. The answer is 37.
Question: At Kaleb's Restaurant, a group with six adults and two children came in to eat. If each adult meal cost six dollars and each children's meal was $4, and every person ordered a soda for $2 how much was the bill?
Answer: The cost for adult meals is 6 adults * $6 = $36. The cost for children's meals is 2 children * $4 = $8. The total people ordering drinks is 6 + 2 = 8. The cost for drinks is 8 people * $2 = $16. The total cost for the meal is $36 + $8 + $16 = $60. The answer is 60.
[Question]Mr. Sergio is a fruit grower producing apples, mangoes and oranges. In a particular season, the total produce of apples was twice the total produce of mangoes, and the total produce of oranges was 200 kg more than that of mangoes. If his farm produced 400 kg of mangoes and he sold the fruits at $50 per kg, calculate the total amount of money he got in that season.
[Answer]If the total production of mangoes was 400, then orange production was 400 + 200 = 600 kg of oranges. Since apple production was twice the total production of mangoes, Mr. Sergio had 2 * 400 = 800 kg of apples. The total quantity of fruits produced at Mr. Sergio's farm is 800 kg of apples + 600 kg of oranges + 400 kg of mangoes = 1800 kg of fruits. If Mr. Sergio sold the fruits at $50 per kg, his total income from the sales is 1800 * $50 = $90000. The answer is 90000.
Q: Osborn is testing a new way to get dressed in the morning on school days so he goes faster and can get up later. He tracks his time for the week and on Monday is takes him 2 minutes. On Tuesday it takes him 4 minutes. On Wednesday it takes him 3 minutes. On Thursday it takes him 4 minutes. Before Friday arrives he looks at his old way of getting dressed and sees that it was taking him 3 minutes on average to get dressed. How fast does he have to get dressed on Friday so his weekly average ties his old method?
A: If it takes on average 3 minutes to get dressed, then it takes 15 minutes total on the school week because 5 x 3 = 15. Thus far this week it has taken him 13 minutes to get dressed because 2 + 4 + 3 + 4 = 13. To tie his previous method, he needs to take 2 minutes on Friday because 15 - 13 = 2. The answer is 2.
Question: Rose bought her mother one dozen flowers. Two of the flowers are daisies. Three-fifths of the remaining flowers are tulips and the rest are sunflowers. How many sunflowers are there?
Answer:
One dozen of flowers is equal to 1 x 12 = 12 flowers. There are 12 - 2 = 10 flowers that are not daisies. So, 10 x 3 / 5 = 6 of the flowers are tulips. Therefore, there are 10 - 6 = 4 sunflowers. The answer is 4.
