Question: Madison takes her dog to the dog park. Counting Madison's dog, half the dogs have spots and 1/5 have pointy ears. If 15 dogs have spots, how many have pointy ears?
Answer: First double the number of dogs with spots to find the total number of dogs: 15 dogs * 2 = 30 dogs. Then multiply that number by 1 / 5 to find the number that have pointy ears: 30 dogs * 1 / 5 = 6 dogs. The answer is 6.

Q: Hannah is making banana bread. She needs to use 3 cups of flour for every cup of banana mush. It takes 4 bananas to make one cup of mush. If Hannah uses 20 bananas, how many cups of flour should she use?
A: First find the number of cups of banana mush Hannah gets: 20 bananas / 4 bananas / cup = 5 cups. Then multiply the number of cups of mush by the ratio of flour to mush to find the number of cups of flour: 5 cups mush * 3 cups flour / 1 cup mush = 15 cups flour. The answer is 15.
Question: While preparing for a meeting, Bill fills Dixie cups with water from out of a water cooler. The water cooler initially contains 3 gallons of water, and each Dixie cup holds 6 ounces of water. If Bill fills one cup of water per each meeting chair, and there are 5 rows of meeting chairs with 10 chairs in each row, then how many ounces of water will be left in the cooler after all cups have been are filled? (There are 128 ounces in a gallon.)
Answer: First find the total number of ounces in the water cooler: 3 gallons * 128 ounces / gallon = 384 ounces. Then find the total number of dixie cups Bill pours: 5 rows * 10 chairs / row = 50 chairs. Then find the total number ounces Bill pours: 50 attendees * 6 ounces / attendee = 300 ounces. Then subtract the amount of water Bill pours from the cooler from the initial amount to find the final amount: 384 ounces - 300 ounces = 84 ounces. The answer is 84.
[Question]Betty picked 16 strawberries. Matthew picked 20 more strawberries than Betty and twice as many as Natalie. They used their strawberries to make jam. One jar of jam used 7 strawberries and they sold each jar at $4. How much money were they able to make from the strawberries they picked?
[Answer]Matthew picked 16 + 20 = 36 strawberries. Natalie picked 36 / 2 = 18 strawberries. All together, they have 16 + 36 + 18 = 70 strawberries. They can make 70 / 7 = 10 jars of strawberries. They earn 10 x $4 = $40 from the strawberries they picked. The answer is 40.

The seller has offered him the TV for 1000 - 100 = $900. The discount on the television was 900 * 20 / 100 = $180. The final price of the television is therefore 900 - 180 = $720. Martin was able to save 1000 - 720 = $280. The answer is 280.
