[Question]The total for the sum and product of Elvie's age and Arielle's age are 131. If Elvie's age is 10, how old is Arielle?
[Answer]Let's say Arielle's age is x. The sum of Elvie's age and Arielle's age is 10 + x. The product of their ages is 10 * x. The total for the sum and product of their ages is 10 + x + 10 * x = 131. To find Ariel's age, we evaluate x, which is 10 + 11x = 131. This gives us a total of 11x = 121. Arielle's age is x = 121 / 11. The value of x, which is Arielles's age, is 11. The answer is 11.
Q: Today is my birthday and I'm three times older than I was six years ago. What is my age?
A: We know that my age divided by three is equal to my age minus six therefore X / 3 = X - 6 where X = My age. This means that X = 3X - 18 because we can multiply both sides by 3. This also means that - 2X = - 18 because we can subtract 3X from the right side. Therefore X = 9 because - 18 / - 2 = 9. The answer is 9.

[Question]John's neighbor tells him to walk his dog for 1 hour each day for a total of $10. He does this for April, save for the 4 Sundays in April. He later spent $50 on books and gave his sister Kaylee the same amount. How much money did John have left?
[Answer]April has 30 days, so if he didn't walk the dog on Sundays, he worked for a total of 30 days - 4 days = 26 days. If each day he earned $10, he ends up with 26 days * $10 / day = $260 . After buying books and giving his sister $50, he ends up with $260 - $50 - $50 = $160. The answer is 160.
Q: Sophie went to the Dunkin Donuts store and bought 4 boxes of donuts. There were 12 donuts in each box. She gave 1 box to her mom and half a dozen to her sister. How many donuts were left for her?
A: Sophie has 4 - 1 = 3 boxes of donuts left. The total number of pieces of donuts that she has is 3 x 12 = 36. She gave 12 / 2 = 6 donuts to her sister. Therefore Sophie was left with 36 - 6 = 30 donuts after giving her sister. The answer is 30.
Question: John is budgeting for his marriage. The venue cost $10,000. It cost $500 for each guest, and John wants 50 guests while his wife wants 60% more than that. How much would the wedding cost if John's wife gets her way?
Answer:
The bride wanted 50 * .6 = 30 more guests than the husband. So the bride wanted 50 + 30 = 80 guests. So the guests cost 80 * $500 = $40000. So the total cost was $40000 + $10,000 = $50000. The answer is 50000.
