Question: Salem loves to write poems, and she always stores her poem in a creativity box kept safely in her home library. Last week, she created a poem with 20 stanzas. If each stanza has 10 lines, and each line has 8 words, calculate the total number of words in the poem.
Answer: If each line that Salem created in her poem has 8 words, the total number of words in a stanza, which is 10 lines, is 8 words / line * 10 lines / stanza = 80 words / stanza. With 20 stanzas, each containing 80 words per stanza, the total is 80 words / stanza * 20 stanzas = 1600 words in all the stanzas(poem). The answer is 1600.
[Question]Big Joe is the tallest player on the basketball team. He is one foot taller than Ben, who is one foot taller than Larry, who is one foot taller than Frank, who is half a foot taller than Pepe. If Pepe is 4 feet six inches tall, how tall is Big Joe, in feet?
[Answer]Four feet six inches is the same as 4.5 feet tall. If Frank is 0.5 feet taller than Pepe, then he is 4.5 + 0.5 = 5 feet tall. If Larry is one foot taller than Frank, then he is 5 + 1 = 6 feet tall. If Ben is one foot taller than Larry, then he is 6 + 1 = 7 feet tall. If Big Joe is one foot taller than Ben, then he is 7 + 1 = 8 feet tall. The answer is 8.
Q: Johnny is a guitar player and he has three colors of guitar picks: red, blue, and yellow. Half of his picks are red, one-third of the picks are blue, and the rest are yellow. If he has 12 blue picks, what is the total number of yellow picks in his collection?
A: If one third (1 / 3) of his picks are blue, then 3 times the total number of blue picks equals his total pick count, or 3 * 12 = 36 picks. If half of the picks are red, then he has 36 / 2 = 18 red picks. If the rest of the picks are yellow, then he has 36 - 18 - 12 = 6 yellow picks. The answer is 6.
Question: Laura bought 2 pairs of pants for $54 each and 4 shirts for $33 each. She gave $250 to the cashier. So how much change did she take?
Answer: 54 * 2 = $108 is the price of 2 pairs of pants. 4 * 33 = $132 is the price of 4 shirts. 108 + 132 = $240 is the total price. So the cashier gave 250 - 240 = $10 change to Laura. The answer is 10.
[Question]Jordan's dog, Max, was born on the same day that Luka turned 4 years old. Luka is exactly 2 years older than is Aubrey. On Aubrey's 8th birthday, how many years old was Jordan's dog, Max?
[Answer]If Luka is exactly 2 years older than is Aubrey, then on Aubrey's 8th birthday, Luka was 8 + 2 = 10 years old. If Jordan's dog, Max, was born on the same day that Luka turned 4 years old, then when Luka was 10 years old, Max was 10 - 4 = 6 years old. The answer is 6.

If 35% represents 14, then 100 - 35 = 65 represents the amount left of her allowance. The amount she didn't use is 65 * 14 / 35 = 26. The answer is 26.
