Question: Jason bought 4 dozen cupcakes. He plans to give 3 cupcakes each to his cousins. How many cousins does Jason have?

[Question]The number of cards in a card game was 500. Two friends Ellis and Orion, playing together, divided the cards in the ratio of 11:9. How many more cards did Ellis get than Orion?
[Answer]The total ratio representing the 500 cards is 11 + 9 = 20. The fraction of the total ratio that represents the number of cards that Ellis got is 11 / 20, and since there were 500 cards, Ellis got 11 / 20 * 500 = 275. If there were 500 cards, and Ellis received 275 cards, Orion received 500 - 275 = 225 cards. The number of cards that Ellis received more than Orion is 275 - 225 = 50 cards. The answer is 50.
Q: James was doing some shopping in his favorite shop and he saw an offer on shoes that give him a second pair of shoes for half off the original price. He took the offer and took the first pair of shoes for $40 and the second one for $60. At the cashier, the lady told him that the offer applies strictly to the cheaper pair of shoes, and also that he was selected for an extra discount of a fourth off the total amount. How much money did James end up paying for both pairs of shoes?
A: The price of the cheaper pair after the discount was $40 / 2 = $20. The total price of both pairs of shoes $20 + $60 = $80. The final discount was $80 / 4 = $20. The price he ends up paying was $80 - $20 = $60. The answer is 60.
Question: Wendy is a fruit vendor, and she sells an apple at $1.50 each and one orange at $1. In the morning, she was able to sell an average of 40 apples and 30 oranges. In the afternoon, she was able to sell 50 apples and 40 oranges. How much are her total sales for the day?
Answer: There were an average of 40 + 50 = 90 apples. And, there were 30 + 40 = 70 oranges. Thus, Wendy gained 90 x $1.50 = $135 for selling apples. And, she gained an additional 70 x $1 = $70 for selling oranges. Therefore, her total sales for the day is $135 + 70 = $205. The answer is 205.

[Answer]Gargamel saved $36 for all four tires, so to find the savings per tire was $36 / 4 = $9 saved per tire. Adding the savings to the discount price, the original price was $75 + $9 = $84. The answer is 84.
