Q: A group of nine turtles sat on a log. Two less than three times the original number of turtles climbed onto the log with the original group, creating an even larger group on the log. Suddenly, half of the large group of turtles were frightened by a sound and jumped off of the log and ran away. How many turtles remained on the log?
A: Two less than three times the original number of turtles is (9 * 3) - 2 = 25. Thus, The original 9 were joined by 25 more, for a total of 25 + 9 = 34 turtles. But half of the 34 turtles scurried away, leaving half remaining, or 34 / 2 = 17 brave turtles. The answer is 17.
Question: Dino does some online gig work for a living. He works 20 hours a month making $10 an hour. He works 30 hours a month making $20 an hour. He works 5 hours a month making $40 an hour. He pays $500 a month in expenses. How much money does Dino have left at the end of the month?
Answer: Dino works 20 hours at a rate of $10 an hour, which means that work pays him 20 * 10 = 200 dollars a month. Dino works 30 hours at a rate of $20 an hour, which means that work pays him 30 * 20 = 600 dollars a month. Dino works 5 hours at a rate of $40 an hour, which means that work pays him 5 * 40 = 200 dollars a month. Altogether, this means Dino makes 200 + 200 + 600 = 1000 dollars a month. You subtract Dino's expenses of 500 from this amount, meaning he has 1000 - 500 = 500 dollars at the end of the month. The answer is 500.
[Question]Moore's family compared mobile phone plans to get the best deal. At T-Mobile, the family plan costs $50 per month for the first two lines and $16 for each additional line. At M-Mobile, the family plan costs $45 for the first two lines and $14 for each additional line. Moore's family needs to purchase 5 cell phone lines. How much cheaper is the M-Mobile than T-Mobile?
[Answer]The three additional lines at T - Mobile cost $16 x 3 = $48. The total cost of the family plan at T - Mobile is $50 + $48 = $98. The three additional lines at M - Mobile cost $14 x 3 = $42. The total cost of the family plan at M - Mobile is$45 + $ 42 = $87. Therefore, M - Mobile is $98 - 87 = $11 cheaper than T - Mobile. The answer is 11.
Q: Freddie and his team are collecting blankets for three days to be donated to the Children Shelter Organization. There are 15 people on the team. On the first day, each of them gave 2 blankets. On the second day, they tripled the number they collected on the first day by asking door-to-door. On the last day, they set up boxes at schools and got a total of 22 blankets. How many blankets did they collect for the three days for donation?
A: They collected 15 x 2 = 30 blankets on the first day. Freddie and his team collected 30 x 3 = 90 blankets on the second day. They collected a total of 90 + 22 + 30 = 142 for three days. The answer is 142.
Question: Hattie and her friend Lorelei are doing a jumping contest using a jumping rope. Hattie does 180 jumps in the first round, while Lorelei jumps 3/4 as many times as Hattie jumped. In the second round, Lorelei does 50 more jumps than Hattie. If Hattie managed to jump 2/3 times the number of jumps she did in the first round, calculate the total number of jumps the two did in the two rounds.
Answer: In the first round, Lorelei did 3 / 4 * 180 jumps = 135 jumps. In the second round, Hattie did 2 / 3 * 180 jumps = 120 jumps, while. Lorelei did 120 jumps + 50 jumps = 170 jumps. The total number of jumps for the two in both rounds is 170 jumps + 120 jumps + 135 jumps + 180 jumps = 605 jumps. The answer is 605.

When 43 books were checked out on Wednesday, Suzy remained with 98 - 43 = 55 books. After 23 books were returned on Thursday, she ended with 55 + 23 = 78 books. However, 5 books were checked out on the same day meaning that 78 - 5 = 73 books were left. After 7 books were returned on Friday, Suzy had 73 + 7 = 80 books. The answer is 80.
