[Question]Reggie and his brother are having a basketball shooting contest. They each get to take 10 shots. Layups are worth 1 point, free throws are worth 2 points, and anything further away is worth 3 points. Reggie makes 3 layups, two free throws, and one long shot. His brother only shoots long shots and makes 4 of them. How many points does Reggie lose by?
[Answer]Reggie makes 3 points off layups because 3 x 1 = 3. Reggie makes 4 points off free - throws because 2 x 2 = 4. Reggie makes 3 points off long shots because 1 x 3 = 3. Reggie scores 10 points because 3 + 4 + 3 = 10. His brother scores 12 points because 4 x 3 = 12. Reggie loses by 2 because 12 - 10 = 2. The answer is 2.
Q: The swimming club went to a swim meet in another town. They took 2 cars and 3 vans. There were 5 people in each car and 3 people in each van. Each car can hold a maximum of 6 people and each van can hold a maximum of 8 people. How many more people could have ridden with the swim team?
A: The available number of people in each car is 6 * 2 cars = 12 people. The available number of people in each van is 8 * 3 vans = 24 people. The total number of people that could go with the team is 12 people + 24 people = 36 people. The team took with them 2 cars * 5 people = 10 people. The team also took 3 vans * 3 people = 9 people. The team brought 10 people + 9 people = 19 people. The team could bring an additional 36 people - 19 people = 17 people. The answer is 17.
Question: A box of chocolate bars was shared equally between Mike, Rita and Anita. If the box contains 12 bars, how many bars did Mike and Rita get (combined)?

[Question]A used car lot has 24 cars and motorcycles (in total) for sale. A third of the vehicles are motorcycles, and a quarter of the cars have a spare tire included. How many tires are on the used car lot’s vehicles in all?
[Answer]The used car lot has 24 / 3 = 8 motorcycles with 2 tires each. The lot has 24 - 8 = 16 cars for sale. There are 16 / 4 = 4 cars with a spare tire with 5 tires each. The lot has 16 - 4 = 12 cars with 4 tires each. Thus, the used car lot’s vehicles have 8 * 2 + 4 * 5 + 12 * 4 = 16 + 20 + 48 = 84 tires in all. The answer is 84.
Q: Emily makes $1,000,000 per year. If she has 10 employees who make $20,000 per year, how much would her salary be if she took part of her salary to make sure all of her employees make $35,000 per year.
A: Each employee needs $35,000 - $20,000 = $15,000 more per year. In total, Emily needs to pay $15,000 * 10 = $150,000 extra. Emily will need to have a new salary of $1,000,000 - $150,000 = $850,000 per year. The answer is 850000.
