Q: Fran is in charge of counting votes for the book club's next book, but she always cheats so her favorite gets picked. Originally, there were 10 votes for Game of Thrones, 12 votes for Twilight, and 20 votes for The Art of the Deal. Fran throws away 80% of the votes for The Art of the Deal and half the votes for Twilight. What percentage of the altered votes were for Game of Thrones?
A: First find the total number of The Art of the Deal votes Fran throws away: 80% * 20 votes = 16 votes. Then subtract these votes from the total number of The Art of the Deal votes to find the altered number: 20 votes - 16 votes = 4 votes. Then divide the total number Twilight votes by 2 to find the altered number of votes: 12 votes / 2 = 6 votes. Then add the altered number of votes for each book to find the total altered number of votes: 6 votes + 4 votes + 10 votes = 20 votes. Then divide the number of votes for Game of Thrones by the total altered number of votes and multiply by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: 10 votes / 20 votes * 100% = 50%. The answer is 50.
Question: The temperature in New York in June 2020 was 80 degrees. If the temperature in Miami on this day was 10 degrees hotter than the temperature in New York, and 25 degrees cooler than the temperature in San Diego, what was the average temperature for the three cities?
Answer: If it was 10 degrees hotter on this day in Miami than in New York, then the temperature in Miami was 80 + 10 = 90 degrees. If it was 25 degrees cooler in Miami than in San Diego, then the temperature in San Diego was 90 + 25 = 115 degrees. The total temperature for all the cities is 115 + 90 + 80 = 285 degrees. The average temperature of the three cities is 285 / 3 = 95 degrees. The answer is 95.

Q: Diane bakes four trays with 25 gingerbreads in each tray and three trays with 20 gingerbreads in each tray. How many gingerbreads does Diane bake?
A: Four trays have 4 x 25 = 100 gingerbreads. And three trays have 3 x 20 = 60 gingerbreads. Therefore, Diane bakes 100 + 60 = 160 gingerbreads. The answer is 160.
Question: Trip wanted to watch the new action movie in theaters. An evening ticket cost $10 and a large popcorn & drink combo would cost him an additional $10. He noticed on their website, they had a special offer. From 12 noon to 3 pm, save 20% off tickets and 50% off any food combos. How much money could Trip save by going to the earlier movie?
Answer: An evening movie is $10 and the food combo would be $10 so 10 + 10 = $20. If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 20% off the normal ticket price of $10 so 10 * .20 = $2. If he goes to an earlier movie, it's 50% off the normal food price of $10 so 10 * .50 = $5. If he saves $2 for the ticket and $5 on food, then 2 + 5 = $7 saved. The answer is 7.
