Question: Janeth bought 5 bags of round balloons with 20 balloons in each bag. She also bought 4 bags of long balloons with 30 balloons in each bag. While blowing up the balloons, 5 round balloons burst. How many balloons are left?
Answer: Janeth bought 5 x 20 = 100 round balloons. She bought 4 x 30 = 120 long balloons. So, she has a total of 100 + 120 = 220 balloons. Since 5 round balloons burst, then there are only 220 - 5 = 215 balloons left. The answer is 215.
[Question]Jack bought 3 books a month at $20 each. He sells them back at the end of the year for $500. How much money did he lose?
[Answer]He bought 3 * 20 = $60 of books a month. That means he bought 60 * 12 = $720 of books a year. So he lost 720 - 500 = $220. The answer is 220.
Q: Angeli had 90 assorted candies. One-third of the candies were lollipops and the rest were candy canes. She then shared the lollipops equally among the boys such that each boy received 3. She then shared the candy canes equally among the girls such that each received 2. How many boys and girls were given altogether?
A: There were 90 / 3 = 30 lollipops. So, 90 - 30 = 60 are candy canes. Each boy received 3 lollipops, so there were 30 / 3 = 10 boys. Each girl received 2 candy canes, so there were 60 / 2 = 30 girls. Altogether, there were 10 + 30 = 40 boys and girls. The answer is 40.
Question: Rubert has 4 times the number of candies James has. James has 3 times the number of candies Adam has. If Adam has 6 candies, how many candies do the three of them have in total?
Answer: James has 3 * 6 candies = 18 candies. Rubert has 4 * 18 candies = 72 candies. So, the three of them have 6 candies + 18 candies + 72 candies = 96 candies. The answer is 96.
[Question]Jamal works at a library shelving books. He has a cart full of books to put away in different sections. In the history section, he shelves 12 books. In the fiction section, he shelves 19 books. In the children’s section, he shelves 8 books but finds 4 that were left in the wrong place that he adds to his cart to shelve elsewhere. He still has 16 books to shelve. How many books did he start with in the cart?
[Answer]Jamal started with B books in the cart. He had B - 12 books after the history section. He had B - 12 - 19 = B - 31 books after the fiction section. He had B - 31 - 8 + 4 = B - 35 books after the children’s section. He still had B - 35 = 16 books to shelve. Thus, he started with B = 16 + 35 = 51 books in the cart. The answer is 51.

15 alligators eaten over a period of 3 weeks is a rate of 15 / 3 = 5 alligators per week. Under the normal rate of 1 alligator per week per python, it would take 5 / 1 = 5 pythons to eat 15 alligators in 3 weeks. The answer is 5.
