Q: Steven is preparing a shipment of boxes to deliver to a customer for his chemical supply business. The products are very delicate and must be carefully packed, so partially filled boxes can’t be shipped. Steven has three trucks that can be sent on each delivery. Each truck can carry a load of no more than 2,000 pounds of cargo. Some of the boxes weigh 10 pounds after being packed, and some of the boxes weigh 40 pounds when packed. Steven’s customer has ordered equal quantities of both the lighter and heavier products. How many boxes of products can Steven ship to his customer in each delivery?
A: Each pair of boxes weighs 40 pounds + 10 pounds, or 50 pounds. Each pair weighs 50 pounds, so the delivery trucks can carry 2000 / 50 pairs of boxes or 40 pairs. Steven has three trucks, so each trip can move 40 * 3 pairs of boxes = 120 pairs of boxes. Each pair is a set of two boxes, so each delivery contains 120 * 2 boxes = 240 boxes. The answer is 240.
Question: John decided to buy 10 pins for himself. They are normally $20 each but they were on sale for 15% off. How much did he spend on pins?
Answer: The sell reduced the price of each pin by 20 * .15 = $3. So he paid 20 - 3 = $17 per pin. So the total cost was 17 * 10 = $170. The answer is 170.
[Question]A parking garage near Nora's house is 4 stories tall. There are 100 spots per level. There are 58 open parking spots on the first level. There are 2 more open parking spots on the second level than on the first level, and there are 5 more open parking spots on the third level than on the second level. There are 31 open parking spots on the fourth level. How many full parking spots are there in all?
[Answer]There are 4 levels * 100 spots = 400 possible parking spots. The second level has 58 open spots + 2 = 60 open spots. The third level has 60 open spots + 5 = 65 open spots. Total open spots are 58 + 60 + 65 + 31 = 214 open spots. If there are 400 possible spots – 214 open spots = 186 full spots. The answer is 186.
Q: Calvin has been saving his hair clippings after each haircut to make a wig for his dog. He has gotten 8 haircuts and knows that he needs 2 more to reach his goal. What percentage towards his goal is he?

Question: Mia has 4 times as many shells as David. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia. Alice has half the number of shells Ava has. If David has 15 shells, what the total number of conch shells they all have?
Answer: If David has 15 shells, then Mia has 4 * 15 = 60 shells. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia, so that is 60 + 20 = 80 shells. Alice has 1 / 2 the number of shells Ava has, which is 1 / 2 * 80 = 40 shells. The total number of shells all of them have is 15 + 60 + 80 + 40 = 195 shells. The answer is 195.
Q: Catherine had an equal number of pencils and pens. If she had 60 pens and gave eight pens and 6 pencils to each of her seven friends and kept the rest for herself, how many pens and pencils did she have left?
A:
Catherine gave eight pens to each of her seven friends, a total of 8 * 7 = 56 pens. She remained with 60 - 56 = 4 pens. When she also gave 6 pencils to each of her seven friends, she gave away 6 * 7 = 42 pencils. Since she had the same number of pencils as pens, she remained with 60 - 42 = 18 pencils. The total number of pens and pencils that Catherine remained with is 4 + 18 = 22. The answer is 22.
