Q: Carla adds a can of chilis, two cans of beans, and 50% more tomatoes than beans to a normal batch of chili. If she makes a quadruple batch, how many cans of food does she need?
A: First find the number of cans of tomatoes in a normal batch of chili: 2 cans * 150% = 3 cans. Then add the number of cans of each type of food to find the total number of cans per batch: 3 cans + 2 cans + 1 can = 6 cans. Then multiply the number of cans per batch by the number of batches to find the total number of cans: 6 cans / batch * 4 batches = 24 cans. The answer is 24.
Question: Mr. Johnson has a prescription with enough pills for 30 days. After four-fifths of the days, he has 12 pills left. How many pills is Mr. Johnson supposed to take a day if he takes the same dose daily?
Answer: Mr. Johnson has been taking the pills for 30 * 4 / 5 = 24 days. He has 30 - 24 = 6 days left to finish the pills. Thus, Mr. Johnson is supposed to take 12 / 6 = 2 pills a day. The answer is 2.
[Question]Gary buys 4 chickens. After two years, he has 8 times as many chickens as he started with. If each chicken lays 6 eggs a day, how many eggs does Gary currently collect every week?
[Answer]After two years, Gary has 4 * 8 = 32 chickens. Gary collects each day 32 chickens * 6 eggs per chicken = 192 eggs. In a week he collects 192 eggs per day * 7 days per week = 1344 eggs. The answer is 1344.
Q: Bobby has an aquarium with twice as many fish as Sarah's has. Sarah has 5 more fish in her aquarium than Tony does. Tony has 3 times as many fish in his aquarium as Billy does. Billy has 10 fish. How many fish do all 4 people have put together?
A: Since Tony has 3 times as many fish as Billy's 10, that means Tony has 3 * 10 = 30 fish. Sarah has 5 more fish than Tony's 30, meaning she has 5 + 30 = 35 fish. Bobby has twice as many fish as Sarah does, meaning he has 35 * 2 = 70 fish. Therefore, altogether there are 10 + 30 + 35 + 70 = 145 fish. The answer is 145.
Question: Darcy washes and drys 20 shirts and 8 pairs of shorts. If he folds 12 of the shirts and 5 of the shorts, how many more remaining pieces of clothing does Darcy have to fold?
Answer: Darcy still has to fold 20 - 12 = 8 shirts. Darcy still has to fold 8 - 5 = 3 shorts. Darcy has to fold a total of 8 + 3 = 11 pieces of clothing. The answer is 11.
Q: Alina and her best friend Lucia like to chat a lot. On a particular day, Alina sent 20 fewer messages than her friend Lucia, who sent 120 messages. The next day, Lucia sent 1/3 of the messages she sent the previous day, while Alina doubled the messages she sent on the first day. If they sent the same number of messages on the third day as the first day, what is the total number of messages they sent in those three days?
A:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

On the first day, Alina sent 120 - 20 = 100 messages. The total number for the first day is 100 + 120 = 220 messages. On the second day, Lucia sent 1 / 3 * 120 = 40 messages. Alina sent 100 * 2 = 200 messages on the second day. The total for the second day is 40 + 200 = 240 messages. For the three days, they sent 220 + 220 + 240 = 680 messages. The answer is 680.
