Question: Jermaine, Terrence, and Emilee earn a total of $90. Jermaine earns $5 more than Terrence in a month. If Terrence earns $30, how much does Emilee earn?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: If Terrence earns 30 dollars, then Jermaine earns $30 + $5 = $35 dollars. The total earnings of the two are $30 + $35 = $65 dollars. Emilee earns $90 - $65 = $25 dollars.
So the answer is 25.

Question: Jerry paid off some of his debts. Two months ago, he paid $12 while last month, he paid $3 more. If his debt was $50 in all, how much does he still have to pay?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Jerry paid $12 + $3 = $15 last month. He paid a total of $12 + $15 = $27 for two months. Therefore, Jerry still has to pay $50 - $27 = $23.
So the answer is 23.

Question: A car driving cross-country traveled 180 miles in 4 hours. At this rate of speed, how many miles further will the car travel in the next 3 hours?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The car drives 180 miles in 4 hours, so its average speed is 180 miles / 4 hours = 45 miles per hour. In the next 3 hours, the car will drive 45 miles / hour * 3 hours = 135 miles.
So the answer is 135.

Step-by-step reasoning process: On Monday Miriam does 5 push - ups + 7 push - ups on Tuesday = 12 push - ups on both days. On Wednesday she does twice as many push - ups as she did on Tuesday, 7 x 2 = 14 push - ups on Wednesday. Over the first 3 days, she did a total of 14 + 12 = 26 pushups. On Thursday Miriam did 1 / 2 the same number of total pushups she had already done that week, so she did 1 / 2 x 26 = 13 pushups on Thursday. On Friday she does as many push - ups as the total of what she had done over the previous four days, so she did 5 + 7 + 14 + 13 = 39 push - ups on Friday.
So the answer is 39.
