[Question]Patricia and Geoffrey went fishing to feed their group of campers. They caught an eight-pound trout, six two-pound bass, and two twelve-pound salmon. If each person will eat two pounds of fish, how many campers can they feed?
[Answer]The bass weigh 6 * 2 = 12 pounds in all. The salmon weigh 2 * 12 = 24 pounds in all. The trout, bass, and salmon together weigh 8 + 12 + 24 = 44 pounds. Each camper will eat 2 pounds of fish, so Patricia and Jeffrey can feed 44 / 2 = 22 campers. The answer is 22.
Q: A city has a population of 300,000. 50,000 people immigrate to the country and then 30,000 people leave. After that 1/8 of the population gets pregnant and 1/4 of those people have twins. How many people are there after the births?
A: There was a net immigration to the country of 50,000 - 30,000 = 20,000. So the total number of people before birth is 300,000 + 20,000 = 320,000. That means 320,000 / 8 = 40,000 get pregnant. So 40,000 / 4 = 10,000 have twins. So that means they have 10,000 * 2 = 20,000 children. There are 40,000 - 10,000 = 30,000 children from single births. So the total number of people is 320,000 + 30,000 + 20,000 = 370,000. The answer is 370000.
Question: Yvonne brings a box of chocolates to school. Half have nuts and half do not. The students eat 80% of the ones with nuts and eat half of the ones without nuts. If there are 28 chocolates left, how many chocolates were in the box?
Answer: The ones with nuts that they ate was 40% of the box because 80% x .5 = 40%. The ones without nuts that they ate equaled 25% of the box because 50% x .5 = 25%. They ate 65% of the box because 40 + 25 = 65. They left 35% of the box because 100 - 65 = 35. The box had 80 chocolates because 28 / .35 = 80. The answer is 80.
[Question]Marla is mixing a particular shade of lilac that's 70% blue paint, 20% red paint, and the rest white paint. If she adds 140 ounces of blue paint, how many ounces of white paint does she add?
[Answer]First find the total amount of paint Marla mixes by dividing the amount of blue paint by the percentage of the paint that's blue: 140 ounces / .7 = 200 ounces. Then multiply the total amount of paint by the percentage that's white to find the number of white ounces: 200 ounces * 10% = 20 ounces. The answer is 20.
Q: James can make 4 hats out of one yard of velvet. He needs three yards of velvet to make a cloak. How much velvet does he need to make 6 cloaks and 12 hats?
A: First find the total amount of velvet James uses on the hats: 12 hats / 4 hats / yard = 3 yards. Then find the total amount of velvet he needs to make the cloaks: 6 cloaks * 3 yards / cloak = 18 yards. Then add those two amounts to find the total amount of velvet he needs: 3 yards + 18 yards = 21 yards. The answer is 21.

Carmen earned 3 * $4 = $12 at the green house. She earned 2 * $3.50 = $7 for the mints. She earned $7 + $5 = $12 at the yellow house. She earned 9 * $2 = $18 at the brown house. So, Carmen earned a total of $12 + $12 + 18 = $42. The answer is 42.
