[Question]Becky has 50 necklaces in her jewelry collection. 3 of the necklaces have broken beads so she collects the unbroken beads for crafting and throws the other parts of the 3 the necklaces out. Becky buys 5 new necklaces that week. She decides to give 15 of her old necklaces to her friends as gifts. How many necklaces does she own now?

Q: Julia just adopted a puppy for $20.00 from the local pet shelter. Before she brings the puppy home, she needs to buy a bag of dog food for $20.00, 2 bags of treats for $2.50 a bag, an assortment box of toys for $15.00, a crate and a bed for $20.00 each, and the collar/leash combo for $15.00. The store offered Julia a 20% new-customer discount. How much will Julia spend on the new puppy?
A: The treats are $2.50 a bag and she buys 2 bags for a total of 2.50 * 2 = $5.00. The crate and bed are $20.00 each so they will cost 2 * 20 = $40.00. She spends $20.00 on dog food, $5.00 on treats, $15.00 on toys $40.00 for a crate and bed and $15.00 for a leash for a total of 20 + 5 + 15 + 40 + 15 = $95.00. With the 20% off, she can expect a .20 * 95 = $19 discount on her order. Her supplies were $95.00 and she has a $19.00 discount for a total of 95 - 19 = $76.00. Her supplies cost $76.00 and the puppy adoption was $20.00 for a grand total of 76 + 20 = $96.00. The answer is 96.
Question: Free Christmas decorations are being given out to families. Each box of decorations contains 4 pieces of tinsel, 1 Christmas tree and 5 snow globes. If 11 families receive a box of decorations and another box is given to the community center, how many decorations have been handed out?
Answer: Each box contains 4 tinsel + 1 tree + 5 snow globes = 10 decorations. A total of 11 family boxes + 1 community center box = 12 boxes have been given out. So the total number of decorations given out is 10 decorations * 12 boxes = 120 decorations. The answer is 120.
[Question]A milk teas shop was able to sell a total of 50 cups of milk tea yesterday. Two-fifths of their sales are winter melon flavor, three-tenths are Okinawa flavor, and the rest are chocolate flavor. How many cups of chocolate-flavored milk tea were they able to sell yesterday?
[Answer]A milk tea shop sold 50 x 2 / 5 = 20 cups of winter melon - flavored milk tea. They sold 50 x 3 / 10 = 15 cups of Okinawa - flavored milk tea. So they sold a total of 20 + 15 = 35 cups of winter melon and Okinawa flavors milk tea. Therefore, they sold 50 - 35 = 15 cups of chocolate - flavored milk tea. The answer is 15.
[Question]In April, Tank gathered 10 more Easter eggs than Emma in their first round of egg hunt. However, Emma gathered twice as many eggs as Tank in their second round of egg hunt, while Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 20 less than the number she had gathered in the first round. If the total number of eggs in the pile they were collecting with 6 other people was 400 eggs, and Emma gathered 60 eggs in the second egg hunt round, find the number of eggs that the 6 other egg hunters collected?
[Answer]
Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 60 / 2 = 30 since Emma gathered twice as many eggs as Tank in their second round of egg hunt. The total number of eggs that Emma and Tank gathered in the second round was 60 + 30 = 90. Tank's total number of eggs in the second round was 20 less than the number she had gathered in the first round, meaning she had gathered 30 + 20 = 50 eggs in the first round of egg hunt. Tank gathered 10 more Easter eggs than Emma in their first round of egg hunt, meaning Emma collected 50 - 10 = 40 eggs. The total number of eggs Emma and Tank collected in the first round was 40 + 50 = 90. In the two rounds, Emma and Tank gathered 90 + 90 = 180 eggs. If the total number of eggs in the pile they were collecting with 6 other people was 400 eggs, the six other people gathered 400 - 180 = 220 eggs. The answer is 220.
