Question: The sum of the three sides of a triangle is 50. The right side of the triangle is 2 cm longer than the left side. Find the value of the triangle base if the left side has a value of 12 cm.
Answer: If the left side of the triangle is 12, and the right side is 2 cm longer, the right side is 12 + 2 = 14 cm long. The sum of the left and right sides of the triangle is 14 + 12 = 26 cm. If the sum of all sides of the is 50, and the left and right sides of the triangle are 26, the triangle base is 50 - 26 = 24 cm. The answer is 24.
[Question]One of the clubs at Georgia's school was selling carnations for a fundraising event. A carnation costs $0.50. They also had a special where you could buy one dozen carnations for $4.00. If Georgia sent a dozen carnations to each of her 5 teachers and bought one carnation for each of her 14 friends, how much money would she spend?
[Answer]She wants to send a dozen carnations that cost $4 / dz to each of her 5 teachers, so 4 * 5 = $20. She has 14 friends and she knows a dozen carnations is cheaper than buying 12 single carnations. So 14 - 12 = 2 single carnations are needed. A single carnation cost $0.50 so 2 * .50 = $1.00. All total she will spend 20 + 4 + 1 = $25.00 on carnations. The answer is 25.

Question: Phillip wants to make pickles with the supplies he finds at home. He has 4 jars, 10 cucumbers, and 100 oz of vinegar. Each cucumber makes six pickles. Each jar can hold 12 pickles. It takes 10 ounces of vinegar per jar of pickles. When he is all done making as many pickles as he has supplies for, how many ounces of vinegar are left?
Answer: The jars allow him to make 48 pickles because 4 x 12 = 48. The cucumbers allow him to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. The vinegar allows him to make 10 jars of pickles because 100 / 10 = 10. The vinegar is enough to make 60 pickles because 10 x 6 = 60. He can make 48 pickles because 48 < 60. He needs 4 jars to make this because 48 / 12 = 4. He needs 40 ounces of vinegar because 4 x 10 = 40. He has 60 ounces remaining because 100 - 40 = 60. The answer is 60.
[Question]Tim watches 2 shows. One of them is a half-hour show per episode and the other is a 1-hour long show per episode. The short show had 24 episodes and the long show had 12 episodes. How many hours of TV did he watch?

The dinner cost $144 dollars because 4 x 36 = 144. The kids earned $288 in total because 144 x 2 = 288. They planted 192 rows of corn because 288 / 1.5 = 192. They planted 13,440 ears of corn in total because 192 x 70 = 13,440. They each planted 3,360 ears of corn because 13,440 / 4 = 3,360. They each planted 6,720 seeds because 3,360 x 2 = 6,720. They each used 140 bags of seeds because 6,720 / 48 = 140. The answer is 140.
