question:Kekai's family is having a garage sale. Kekai sells 5 shirts and 5 pairs of pants. Each shirt sells for 1, and each pair of pants sells for 3. If Kekai gives his parents half of the money he earns from selling his clothes, how much money does Kekai have left?
answer:From selling his shirts, Kekai makes 5 * 1 = <<5*1=5>>5 From selling his pants, Kekai makes 5 * 3 = <<5*3=15>>15 The total amount of money Kekai earns is 5 + 15 = <<5+15=20>>20 Since Kekai gives half of the money to his parents, he has 20 / 2 = <<20/2=10>>10 left 10
question:Forest and his friends have prepared a birthday cake for their friend Juelz having 240 cake pieces. After singing the birthday song, they ate 60% of the cake's pieces, and later, Juelz divided the remaining pieces among his three sisters. What is the number of pieces of cake each sister received?
answer:If they ate 60% of the pieces of cake, the friends ate 60/100 * 240 pieces = <<60/100*240=144>>144 pieces of the cake. The total number of pieces remaining is 240 pieces - 144 pieces = <<240-144=96>>96 pieces When Juelz divided the remaining pieces of cake to his sisters, each sister received 96 pieces / 3 sisters = <<96/3=32>>32 pieces/sister 32
question:A coach placed 15 tennis balls and 5 soccer balls each into 5 baskets. He gave 5 of his students a short period of time to remove as many balls each from a basket as they could. 3 of them removed 8 balls each and the other 2 removed a certain number of balls each. If a total of 56 balls are still in the baskets, how many balls did the other 2 students each remove?
answer:Combining the tennis and soccer balls, there are 15+5=<<15+5=20>>20 balls in each basket There are 5 baskets, hence 5*20=<<5*20=100>>100 balls in total 3 students removed 8 balls each, they removed 3*8=<<3*8=24>>24 balls From the total number of balls, they left 100-24=<<100-24=76>>76 balls There are 56 balls left so the other 2 students must have removed a total of 76-56=20 balls This means that each of these 2 students removed 20/2=<<20/2=10>>10 balls. 10
question:Sam went for a run in the morning. In the afternoon, he went grocery shopping and walked twice the distance through the store as he had run that morning. That evening, he went on a bike ride with his family and biked for 12 miles. In all, he went 18 miles that day. How many miles was Sam’s morning run?
answer:Let X be the distance Sam ran. His walk through the store was twice the distance of his run, so his walk was 2X. He biked for 12 miles and went 18 miles in all, so he walked and ran 18 - 12 = <<18-12=6>>6 miles. Thus, his walk and run together were X + 2X = 3X = <<6=6>>6 miles. Thus, he ran X = 6 / 3 = <<6/3=2>>2 miles. 2
