Question and rationale: The question is: Lady Bird uses 1 1/4 cup flour to make 9 biscuits. She’s hosting this month's Junior League club which has 18 members and wants to make sure she allows 2 biscuits per guest. How many cups of flour will Lady Bird need?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There will be 18 members and she wants to allow 2 biscuits per member so that’s 18 * 2 = 36 biscuits. Her biscuit recipe yields 9 biscuits and she needs to make 36 biscuits so she needs to make 36 / 9 = 4 batches of biscuits. 1 batch of biscuits uses 1 1 / 4 cup flour and she needs to make 4 batches so she will use 1.25 * 4 = 5 cups of flour.

Question and rationale: The question is: Jake trips over his dog 40% percent of mornings. 25% of the time he trips, he drops his coffee. What percentage of mornings does he NOT drop his coffee?
Step-by-step reasoning process: First multiply the chance of each event happening to find the chance they both happen: 40% * 25% = 10%. Then subtract that percentage from 100% to find the percentage of the time Jake doesn't drop his coffee: 100% - 10% = 90%.

The question is: Five shirts are bought. Of the 5 shirts, there are 3 shirts that cost $15 each. The remaining shirts are $20 each. What is the cost, in dollars, of all 5 shirts?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The first 3 shirts cost 15 * 3 = 45 dollars in total. There are 5 - 3 = 2 shirts remaining. The remaining 2 shirts cost 20 * 2 = 40 dollars in total. The five shirts cost 45 + 40 = 85 dollars.
