Question: Jaylen has 5 carrots and 2 cucumbers. Jaylen has twice as many bell peppers as Kristin. Jaylen has 3 less than half as many green beans as Kristin. If Kristin has 2 bell peppers and 20 green beans, how many vegetables does Jaylen have in total?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Jaylen has 2 * 2 = 4 bell peppers. Jaylen has (20 / 2) - 3 = 7 green beans. Jaylen has a total of 4 + 7 + 5 + 2 = 18 vegetables.
So the answer is 18.

Question: The cost of Joe's new HVAC system is $20,000. It includes 2 conditioning zones, each with 5 vents. In dollars, what is the cost of the system per vent?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: Two zones with 5 vents per zone is 2 * 5 = 10 vents. Thus, the $20,000 system costs $20,000 / 10 = $2,000 per vent.
So the answer is 2000.

Question: John is an eccentric millionaire. He decides to fill his swimming pool with bottled water. A cubic foot of water is 25 liters. His pool is 10 feet deep and 6 feet by 20 feet. A liter of water costs $3. How much does it cost to fill the pool?
Answer: Step-by-step reasoning process: The pool is 10 * 6 * 20 = 1200 cubic feet. That means it is 25 * 1200 = 30000 liters. So it cost 3 * 30,000 = $90,000.
So the answer is 90000.

Step-by-step reasoning process: He writes 3 * 50 = 150 pages a week. That means he writes 150 * 52 = 7800 pages of short stories a year. So he writes 7800 + 1200 = 9000 pages a year. So he needs 9000 / 2 = 4500 sheets of paper. That means he needs 4500 / 500 = 9 reams of paper.
So the answer is 3.
