Reasoning and answer: He worked 4 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday for a total of 4 + 5 = 9 hours. His base pay is $10.00 an hour and he worked 9 hours for a total of 10 * 9 = $90.00. He delivered groceries to 5 people on Saturday and 8 people on Sunday for a total of 5 + 8 = 13 deliveries. He makes $5.00 per delivery and he delivered to 13 people so he made 5 * 13 = $65.00. His base pay is $90.00 and he made $65.00 in tips for a total of 90 + 65 = $155.00.
The answer: 155

Question: Scout delivers groceries on the weekends. His base pay is $10.00 an hour. He also earns a $5.00 tip per customer that he delivers groceries to. On Saturday he worked 4 hours and delivered groceries to 5 people. Sunday he worked 5 hours and delivered groceries to 8 people. How much did he make over the weekend?
4 hours is 4 * 60 = 240 minutes. If the doubling time is 20 minutes, then after 240 minutes, the number of bacteria would have doubled 240 / 20 = 12 times. Thus, starting with only 1 bacterial cell, after 4 hours, there will be 1 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 4,096 bacterial cells.
The answer: 4096
Reverse engineering the question: Under standard growth conditions, the bacterial strain, E.coli, has a doubling time of 20 minutes. If 1 single bacterial cell is used to start a culture grown under standard growth conditions, how many bacterial cells will there be after the culture is grown for 4 hours?
Reasoning and answer: Let the total profit of both companies be denoted by x. Therefore, 40% * x = 0.4 * x = $60000. So x = $60000 / 0.4 = $150000. If Company B gets 60 % of the profits, it gets 60% of $150000, which is 0.6 * $150000 = $90000.
The answer: 90000

Question: Company A and Company B merge. Company A receives 60% of the combined profits under the new merger, and company B receives 40% of the profits. If company B gets a total of $60000 in profit, how much does company A get?
Debelyn had 20 - 2 = 18 dolls left after giving out 2 dolls to Christel. Christel had 24 + 2 = 26 dolls after receiving 2 dolls from Debelyn. Christel had 24 - 5 = 19 dolls after giving Andrena 5 dolls. So, Andrena has 19 + 2 = 21 dolls now. Therefore, Andrena has 21 - 18 = 3 more dolls than Debelyn.
The answer: 3
Reverse engineering the question: Debelyn, Christel, and Andrena collect dolls. Debelyn had 20 dolls before she gave Andrena 2 dolls. Christel had 24 dolls before giving Andrena 5 dolls. After all the gifts, Andrena now has 2 more dolls than Christel, how many more dolls does andrena have now than Debelyn?
Reasoning and answer: In the first route, Malcolm spends 6 minutes * 2 = 12 minutes walking along the path. So in total, the first two stages of this route take him 6 + 12 = 18 minutes. This means the final part of the journey took him 18 / 3 = 6 minutes. Therefore, the total time it takes to walk the first route is 18 + 6 = 24 minutes. In the second route, the second stage takes him 14 * 2 = 28 minutes. So the second route takes a total of 28 + 14 = 42 minutes to walk. The second route therefore takes an extra 42 minutes for the second route 24 minutes for the first route = 18 minutes.
The answer: 18

Question: Malcolm is trying to find the fastest walk to school and is currently comparing two routes. In the first route, he walks for 6 minutes uphill, walks for twice this amount of time along a path, then finishes the journey in a third of the time it took to walk the first two stages. In the second route, he walks along a flat path for 14 minutes, then finishes the walk in twice this amount of time. In minutes, how much longer was the second route compared with the first?
Reasoning and answer: He splits the cost 3 + 1 = 4 ways. 100 pounds of burgers at $3 per pound makes 100 * 3 = $300. In addition to $80 for condiments and propane the total cost was 300 + 80 = $380. That means each of them paid 380 / 4 = $95. Then adding in the cost of alcohol, John spent 200 + 95 = $295.
The answer: 295
