Reasoning & answer: CoT: First find how many kids from Riverside High are rejected: 20% * 120 kids = 24 kids. Then find how many kids from West Side High are rejected: 70% * 90 kids = 63 kids. Then find how many kids from Mountaintop High are rejected: 50 kids / 2 = 25 kids. Then add the number of kids from each school to find the total number of kids: 120 kids + 90 kids + 50 kids = 260 kids. Then subtract all the kids who were rejected from the total number of kids to find the number who got in: 260 kids - 24 kids - 63 kids - 25 kids = 148 kids.
The answer: 148
Question: Fern is checking IDs to get into an R-rated movie. She denied 20% of the 120 kids from Riverside High, 70% of the 90 kids from West Side High, and half the 50 kids from Mountaintop High. How many kids got into the movie?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: Each room can fit 2 * 2 + 1 = 5 students. Thus, the principal needs to book 30 / 5 = 6 rooms to fit everyone.

Question: A school principal is booking hotel rooms for a class of 30 students to stay at during an overnight field trip. Each of the hotel's rooms has two queen size beds, which can fit two students each, and a pull-out couch, which can fit one student. How many rooms does the principal need to book to fit all of the students in the class?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: If Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers, each containing 24 crackers, the total number of crackers that Darren bought is 24 * 4 = 96. Twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren bought is 2 * 4 = 8. If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, then Calvin bought 8 - 1 = 7 boxes of crackers. The total number of crackers that Calvin bought is 7 * 24 = 168. Together, Darren and Clavin bought 168 + 96 = 264 crackers.
The answer: 264
Question: Darren bought 4 boxes of crackers. Each box contained 24 crackers. If Calvin bought one box less than twice as many boxes of crackers as Darren, how many crackers did they buy altogether?

Reasoning & answer: CoT: A jar of almond butter costs 3 * 3 = $9. It takes half a jar to make a batch of cookies, so it costs 9 / 2 = $4.50 to use almond butter. It costs 3 / 2 = $1.50 to use peanut butter. Thus, it costs 4.50 - 1.50 = $3 more to make a batch of almond butter cookies than peanut butter cookies.
The answer: 3
