Q: Layla and Nahima were playing a game where Layla won with 70 points. If The total number of points scored was 112, how many more points did Layla score than Nahima?
A: If the total number of points was 112, and Layla won with 70 points, Nahima scored 112 - 70 = 42 points. Layla scored 70 - 42 = 28 more points than Nahima. The answer is 28.
Question: Wallace's water heater is twice the size of Catherine's water heater. If the capacity of Wallace's water heater is 40 gallons and it's 3/4 full, calculate the total number of gallons of water they both have if Catherine's water heater is also full with water to 3/4 of its capacity.
Answer: When 3 / 4 full of water, Wallace's water heater has 3 / 4 * 40 = 30 gallons of water. Catherine's water heater capacity is 40 / 2 = 20 gallons. When 3 / 4 full, Catherine's water heater has 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 gallons of water. Together, when 3 / 4 full with water, Wallace's and Catherine's water heaters hold 15 + 30 = 45 gallons of water. The answer is 45.
[Question]Zara bought 24 cows, 7 sheep, and some goats. Next week, she will transport all of them to a new farm in 3 equally-sized groups of 48 animals per group. How many goats does she own?
[Answer]Zara will transport a total of 3 * 48 = 144 animals. The known number of animals is 24 + 7 = 31 cows and sheep. Zara therefore has 144 - 31 = 113 goats. The answer is 113.
Q: If John travels 15 miles on a bike ride, and Jill travels 5 miles less, how many miles does Jim travel if he travels only 20% as far as Jill?
A: To find how far Jim travels, we must first find out how far Jill did. To do this, we perform 15 - 5 = 10 miles in total for Jill. We then multiply 10 * .20 = 2 miles in total for Jim, since he only traveled 20% of the distance Jill did. The answer is 2.
Question: Lauren sent 65 pieces of mail on Monday, 10 more pieces of mail on Tuesday than on Monday, 5 fewer on Wednesday than on Tuesday, and 15 more pieces of mail on Thursday than on Wednesday. How many pieces of mail did Lauren send?
Answer: Lauren sent 65 + 10 = 75 pieces of mail on Tuesday. He sent 75 - 5 = 70 pieces of mail on Wednesday. And sent 70 + 15 = 85 pieces of mail on Thursday. Therefore, he sent 65 + 75 + 70 + 85 = 295 pieces of mail. The answer is 295.
Q: Ten more than twice the number of birds on the fence is 50. How many birds are on the fence?
A:
Let x be the number of birds on the fence. We know that 10 + 2 * x = 50. Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get 2 * x = 50 - 10 = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 20. The answer is 20.
