Q: Rica's group won in a dance competition. She got 3/8 of the prize money. From Rica's prize money, she spent 1/5 of it and is now left with $300. How much was the prize money that her group won?
A: Rica is left with 1 - 1 / 5 = 4 / 5 of her prize money which is equal to $300. Since 4 / 5 is worth $300, then 1 / 5 is worth $300 / 4 = $75. So, Rica got $75 x 5 = $375 from their prize money which is 3 / 8 of the total prize. Since 3 / 8 is equal to $375, then 1 / 8 is worth $375 / 3 = $125. So, the total prize money is $125 x 8 = $1000. The answer is 1000.
Question: Marcel bought a pen for $4, and a briefcase for five times the price. How much did Marcel pay for both items?

[Question]Billy is reducing raspberry juice down to make syrup. He reduces 6 quarts of juice to 1/12 of its original volume, then adds 1 cup of sugar. What is the final volume of the syrup in cups? (There are 4 cups in a quart)
[Answer]First find the total number of cups of juice: 6 quarts * 4 cups / quart = 24 cups. Then find the reduced volume of the juice: 24 cups * 1 / 12 = 2 cups. Then add the volume of the sugar to find the total volume of the syrup: 2 cups + 1 cups = 3 cups. The answer is 3.
Q: Jenna is buying concert tickets for her group of five friends. She's able to get two of the tickets from the concert website for $50 each before they sell out. A scalper offers to sell her two more tickets for 240% of the normal price, but Jenna convinces him to give her $10 off that total payment. Finally, one of her friends gets a discounted ticket through her job for 60% of the normal price. How much do Jenna's friends pay for their tickets in total?
A: First calculate the price of the two normally priced tickets by multiplying the price and the quantity: $50 * 2 = $100. Then calculate the scalper's initial asking price by multiplying the normal cost of two tickets by 240%: $100 * 2.4 = $240. Then subtract the $10 discount Jenna negotiated: $240 - $10 = $230. Now calculate the price of the discounted ticket Jenna's friend gets through her job by multiplying the normal ticket price by 60%: $50 * .6 = $30. Finally, add up the price of all the tickets to find the total: $100 + $230 + $30 = $360. The answer is 360.
Question: There are 28 garden gnomes in a yard. Three-fourths of them have red hats, and the rest have blue hats. Half the garden gnomes have big noses instead of small noses. If six gnomes with blue hats have big noses, how many gnomes with red hats have small noses?
Answer: Half the gnomes have big noses, so 28 / 2 = 14 have big noses. Three - quarters of the gnomes have red hats, so 28 * 3 / 4 = 21 gnomes have red hats. There are 6 gnomes with blue hats and big noses, so there are 14 - 6 = 8 with red hats and big noses. Thus, there are 21 - 8 = 13 gnomes with red hats that have small noses. The answer is 13.

On Monday Kendra saw 5 sites x 7 birds / site = 35 different birds. On Tuesday Kendra saw 5 sites x 5 birds / site = 25 different birds. On Wednesday Kendra saw 10 sites x 8 birds / site = 80 different birds. In total Kendra saw 35 birds + 25 birds + 80 birds = 140 different birds. In total Kendra visited 5 sites + 5 sites + 10 sites = 20 sites. On average Kendra saw 140 birds / 20 sites = 7 different birds at each site. The answer is 7.
