Answer the following question.
It's Mother's day, so mothers get a 10% discount on the department store. Mothers who have 3 children or more can get an additional 4% off the discounted price. If Mrs. Brown has 4 children and wants to buy a pair of shoes that costs $125, how much will she pay?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mrs. Brown has a $125 x 10 / 100 = $12.5 discount for her purchase. So, the remaining amount she needs to pay is $125 - $12.5 = $112.5. But Mrs. Brown can still avail of the 5% discount, so she has an additional discount of $112.5 x 4 / 100 = $4.5. Therefore, Mrs. brown will only pay $112.5 - $4.5 = $108.
The answer is 108.

Answer the following question.
Claire was in charge of passing out free balloons to all the children at the fair. She started with 50 balloons. While passing 1 balloon to a little girl, 12 balloons floated away. Over the next thirty minutes, she gave 9 more away and grabbed the last 11 from her coworker. How many balloons does Claire have?
Step-by-step reasoning process: As she gave 1 balloon out, 12 balloons floated away plus she gave away 9 more balloons so she is down 1 + 12 + 9 = 22 balloons. She started with 50 and gave / lost 22 balloons so she has 50 - 22 = 28 balloons. She also took her coworkers last 11 balloons so her new total is 28 + 11 = 39 balloons.
The answer is 39.

Answer the following question.
A school bus traveled for 42 minutes at a speed of 50 mph. What is the distance the bus traveled in miles?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 1 hour = 60 minutes. We convert the time to hours, so 42 minutes = 42 / 60 hours = 7 / 10 hours. So in 42 minutes, the distance the bus traveled in miles is 50 * (7 / 10) = 35 miles.
The answer is 35.
