[Question]John buys 3 different coolers. The first one is 100 liters. The second is 50% bigger than that and the third is half the size of the second. How much total water can they hold?
[Answer]The second cooler is 100 * .5 = 50 liters bigger than the first. So it is 100 + 50 = 150 liters. The third is 150 / 2 = 75 liters. So the total water they can hold is 100 + 150 + 75 = 325 liters. The answer is 325.
Q: It took Dad 5 more than twice as long to vacuum upstairs then to vacuum downstairs. He vacuumed for a total of 38 minutes. How many minutes did he vacuum upstairs?
A: Let D = time in minutes to vacuum downstairs. Upstairs = 2D + 5 minutes. 3D + 5 = 38. 3D = 33. D = 11 minutes. Upstairs = (2 * 11) + 5 = 27 minutes. Dad took 27 minutes to vacuum upstairs. The answer is 27.
Question: Liezl prepared four sets of 2-dozen paper cups for her daughter's birthday party. If 5 cups were damaged and 30 were not used, how many paper cups were used?
Answer: Since 1 dozen is equal to 12 then 2 dozens of cups is equal to 2 x 12 = 24 cups. So, Liezl prepared a total of 24 cups x 4 sets = 96 paper cups. A total of 5 + 30 = 35 paper cups were not used. Hence, 96 - 35 = 61 paper cups were used. The answer is 61.
[Question]The first tank is 300 liters filled while the second tank is 450 liters filled. The second tank is only 45% filled. If the two tanks have the same capacity, how many more liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks?
[Answer]Since 450 liters represents 45%, then each 1% is equal to 450 liters / 45 = 10 liters. Hence, the capacity of each tank is 10 liters x 100 = 1000 liters. So, the first tank needs 1000 - 300 = 700 liters of water more. While the second tank needs 1000 - 450 = 550 liters more. Therefore, 700 + 550 = 1250 liters of water are needed to fill the two tanks. The answer is 1250.
Q: There are 8 men at a yoga studio with an average weight of 190 pounds and 6 women with an average weight of 120 pounds. What is the average weight of all 14 men and women?
A: The total weight for the 8 men is 8 men * 190 pounds per man = 1520 pounds. The total weight for the 6 women is 6 women * 120 pounds per woman = 720 pounds. The total weight for 14 men and women is 1520 pounds + 720 pounds = 2240 pounds. The average weight per person is 2240 pounds / 14 men and women = 160 pounds. The answer is 160.

When Tate bought 2 more tickets, the total number of tickets he has increased to 32 + 2 = 34 tickets. Peyton has half as many tickets, meaning he has 1 / 2 * 34 = 17 tickets. Together, they have 34 + 17 = 51 tickets. The answer is 51.
