[Question]Troy bakes 2 pans of brownies, cut into 16 pieces per pan. The guests eat all of 1 pan, and 75% of the 2nd pan. One tub of ice cream provides 8 scoops. If all but 4 of the guests eat the brownies ala mode (with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream), how many tubs of ice cream did the guests eat?
[Answer]Troy bakes 2 x 16 = 32 brownie pieces. 75% of one pan is 16 x 0.75 = 12 pieces. Guests eat 16 + 12 = 28 pieces. This many guests eat the brownies ala mode 28 - 4 = 24. This many scoops are eaten by the guests 24 x 2 = 48. The guests eat this many tubs 48 / 8 = 6 tubs. The answer is 6.

[Question]Tiffany is looking at a lake full of turtles. The turtles are 60% female and the rest are male. Of the males, 1 in 4 has stripes. Of the ones with stripes, 4 are babies, while 60% are adults How many turtles are in the lake?
[Answer]Of the males with stripes, 40% are babies because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 10 males with stripes because 4 / .4 = 10. There are 40 males because 10 / (1 / 4) = 40. Males make up 40% of the pond's total, because 100 - 60 = 40. There are 100 turtles in total 40 / .4 = 100. The answer is 100.

[Question]Roberto is raising chickens for eggs. He buys 4 chickens for $20 each. They cost $1 in total a week to feed and each produces 3 eggs a week that will last forever. He used to buy 1 dozen eggs a week and spent $2 per dozen. After how many weeks will the chickens be cheaper than buying his eggs?
[Answer]The chickens cost $80 because 4 x 20 = 80. His chickens produce a dozen eggs a week because 4 x 3 = 12. Each week that he has chickens is $1 cheaper than buying eggs because 2 - 1 = 1. After 80 weeks his chickens will be paid off because 80 / 1 = 80. After 81 weeks the chickens will be cheaper than buying eggs because 80 + 1 = 81. The answer is 81.
