Question: John is holding a poker night with his friends and is getting the decks of cards ready before his friends show up. After losing so many cards from various decks, John thinks he needs to count exactly how many cards he has to make sure he has enough full decks for the night. Each deck of cards should hold 52 cards. He finds 3 half-full decks of cards and 3 full decks of cards. As he is arranging them, he realizes that the quality of a lot of the cards is quite poor and decides to throw 34 of the cards in the trash. How many cards does John now have?
Answer: In the full decks, John has a total of 52 cards in a full deck of cards * 3 full decks of cards = 156 cards. A half - full deck of cards contains 52 cards in a full deck of cards / 2 = 26 cards. So from the half - full decks, John has a total of 26 cards * 3 half - full decks = 78 cards. This is a total of 156 cards from full decks + 78 cards from half - full decks = 234 cards. After throwing some in the trash, he now holds a total of 234 cards - 34 trashed cards = 200 cards. The answer is 200.
[Question]Mac loves the shape of quarters and is willing to trade money for them, even if he loses value. He tells his brother that he will trade him 3 dimes for a quarter or 7 nickels. He trades for 20 quarters with dimes and 20 quarters with nickels. How many dollars did Mac lose?
[Answer]Three dimes is equal to $.3 because 3 x .1 = .3. Seven nickels is equal to $.35 because 7 x .05 = .35. Each time he trades with dimes he lose $.05 because .3 - .25 = .05. Each time he traded with nickels he lost $.1 because .35 - .25 = .1. He lost $1 from trading with dimes because 20 x .05 = 1. He lost $2 from trading with nickels because 20 x .1 = 2. He lost $3 total because 1 + 2 = 3. The answer is 3.
Q: Chastity made 12 angel food cakes to give to friends. She placed the cakes in boxes, and then walked them out to her car. But she had forgotten her keys. So, she placed the boxes of cakes in one stack on the hood of her car, and then she ran back into the house to get her keys. But before she returned, a black crow came, landed on the stack of cakes, and knocked over half of the stack. When Chastity returned, she picked up half of the fallen cakes, which were not damaged, but the rest of the cakes were destroyed. How many cakes were destroyed?
A: There were 12 / 2 = 6 fallen cakes. Half of 6 fallen cakes were destroyed, for a total of 6 / 2 = 3 cakes. The answer is 3.

The trucks cost 60 bottle caps because 10 x 6 = 60. He has 40 bottle caps left because 100 - 60 = 40. He spends 30 bottle caps on cars because 40 x .75 = 30. He gets 6 cars with this because 30 / 5 = 6. He gets 16 vehicles in total because 10 + 6 = 16. The answer is 16.
