Question: For every one dozen flowers bought, a customer gets 2 free flowers. If Maria wants to buy 3 dozens flowers, how many pieces of flowers will she have in all?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Maria has 3 x 2 = 6 free flowers from buying 3 dozens flowers. Since each dozen is equal to 12, then Maria bought 3 x 12 = 36 flowers. Hence, she has a total of 36 + 6 = 42 flowers.
So the answer is 42.

Question: Following her doctor’s recommendation to up her daily water intake, Nancy now drinks the equivalent of 60% of her body weight in water. If Nancy’s daily water intake is 54 pounds, how much, in pounds, does she weigh?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Let Nancy’s weight be x. We know that 60 / 100 * x = 54 pounds. This translates to x = 54 * 100 / 60 = 90 pounds.
So the answer is 90.

Question: A carton of ice cream contains 10 scoops each. Mary has 3 cartons of ice cream, one chocolate, one strawberry and one vanilla. Ethan wants one scoop of vanilla and one of chocolate. Lucas, Danny and Connor all want 2 scoops of chocolate. Olivia would like a scoop of vanilla and one of strawberry. Shannon wants twice as much as Olivia. How many scoops of ice cream will be left?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The total number of scoops of ice cream that Mary has is 3 cartons * 10 scoops = 30 scoops of ice cream. Lucas, Danny and Connor will eat 2 scoops * 3 people = 6 scoops of ice cream. Shannon will eat 2 * (1 vanilla + 1 strawberry) = 4 total scoops of ice cream. Combined the kids will eat a total of 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 scoops = 14 scoops of ice cream. Mary will have 30 scoops - 14 scoops = 16 scoops of ice cream remaining.
So the answer is 16.
