Q: Bailey bought 8 dog treats and an additional 2 chew toys. She also got 10 more rawhide bones. Sadly, she forgot her money and had to split the charges equally across 4 credit cards. How many items were included in each charge?
A: Bailey got 8 + 2 = 10 dog supplies. After adding the rawhide bones, she had 10 + 10 = 20 dog supplies. She needed to split the charges across 4 cards, so each charge had 20 * .25 = 5 items. The answer is 5.
Question: Bridgette and Alex are getting married. Bridgette is inviting 84 guests, and Alex is inviting two thirds of that number of guests. They hired a caterer to make a plated meal for each guest at the wedding reception. The caterer always makes ten extra plates just in case something goes wrong. Each plate of steak and asparagus in garlic butter will have 8 asparagus spears on it. How many asparagus spears will the caterer need in all?
Answer: Alex is inviting 84 * 2 / 3 = 56 guests. Bridgette and Alex’s guests will need 84 + 56 = 140 plates. The caterer makes 10 extra plates, so they will need 140 + 10 = 150 plates. To put 8 asparagus spears on each plate, the caterer will need 150 * 8 = 1200 asparagus spears. The answer is 1200.
[Question]Steve spends 1/3 of the day sleeping, 1/6 of the day in school, 1/12 of the day making assignments, and the rest of the day with his family. How many hours does Steve spend with his family in a day?
[Answer]Steve spends 24 / 3 = 8 hours sleeping. He spends 24 / 6 = 4 hours in school. He spends 24 / 12 = 2 hours making assignments. He spends 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 hours either sleeping, going to school, or making assignments. Hence, Steve spends 24 - 14 = 10 hours with his family. The answer is 10.
Q: Samuel is arranging his grandma’s teacups. They are stored in boxes and inside the boxes, they are stacked 5 rows high with 4 cups in each row. Of the 26 boxes in her attic, 6 of the boxes contain pans, half of the remaining boxes contain decorations, and the rest of the boxes contain her teacups. Samuel breaks 2 of the cups every time he picks up one of the boxes. By the time Samuel has taken all of the teacups out of the boxes, how many teacups are left?
A: Taking the boxes of pans out of the total attic boxes shows that 26 boxes – 6 boxes of pans = 20 boxes are either decorations or teacups. Since half of these boxes are decorations, the other half must be made up of 20 boxes / 2 = 10 boxes of teacups. Each box of cups initially has 5 rows x 4 cups = 20 teacups inside. Samuel breaks cups each time he picks up a box, which means each box now contains 20 – 2 = 18 teacups. Therefore, there are 10 boxes * 18 teacups = 180 teacups left. The answer is 180.

Jessie won 3 times the amount of the 4 awards that Scott won so he won 3 * 4 = 12 awards. The rival athlete won twice the awards as Jessie, who won 12 so he won 2 * 12 = 24 awards. The answer is 24.
