Q: Grover bought 3 boxes of face masks. He plans to sell them for $0.50 each. If each box has 20 face masks, and he bought the 3 boxes for $15, how much will be his total profit?
A: Grover will earn $0.50 x 20 = $10 for each box. So, he will earn $10 x 3 = $30 after selling all the face masks. Therefore, his total profit will be $30 - $15 = $15. The answer is 15.
Question: Susan loves chairs. In her house there are red chairs, yellow chairs, and blue chairs. There are 5 red chairs. There are 4 times as many yellow chairs as red chairs, and there are 2 fewer blue chairs than yellow chairs. How many chairs are there in Susan's house?
Answer: The number of yellow chairs is 5 chairs × 4 = 20 chairs. The number of blue chairs is 20 chairs − 2 chairs = 18 chairs. There are 5 chairs + 20 chairs + 18 chairs = 43 chairs in Susan's house. The answer is 43.
[Question]The gauge on a water tank shows that the tank is 1/3 full of water. To fill the tank, 16 gallons of water are added. How many gallons of water does the tank hold when full?
[Answer]Given that the tank is 1 / 3 full of water, and that it requires 16 gallons to fill. 1 full tank - 1 / 3 tank = 2 / 3 of the tank is empty, which is equal to 16 gallons. If 2 / 3 of the tank equals 16 gallons, this means 1 / 3 of the tank is equal to 16 / 2 gallons = 8 gallons. The total capacity of the tank or how much the tanks holds = 16 + 8 = 24 gallons. The answer is 24.

Question: Andy gets a cavity for every 4 candy canes he eats. He gets 2 candy canes from his parents and 3 candy canes each from 4 teachers. Then he uses his allowance to buy 1/7 as many candy canes as he was given. How many cavities does he get from eating all his candy canes?
Answer: First find how many candy canes Andy gets from his teachers: 3 canes / teacher * 4 teachers = 12 canes. Then add the number of candy canes he gets from his parents: 12 canes + 2 canes = 14 canes. Then divide that number by 7 to find the number of canes he buys: 14 canes / 7 = 2 canes. Then add the number of candy canes he gets from each source to find the total number: 2 canes + 14 canes = 16 canes. Then divide the total number of candy canes by the number of candy canes it takes to get one cavity to find the number of cavities Andy gets: 16 canes / 4 canes / cavity = 4 cavities. The answer is 16.
