[User] A roadwork company is paving a newly constructed 16-mile road. They use a mixture of pitch and gravel to make the asphalt to pave the road. Each truckloads of asphalt uses two bags of gravel and five times as many bags of gravel as it does barrels of pitch to make. It takes three truckloads of asphalt to pave each mile of road. The company paved 4 miles of road on one day, then one mile less than double that on the second day. How many barrels of pitch will the company need to finish the remaining road on the third day?

[Assistant]
<think>
On the second day, the company paved 4 * 2 - 1 = <<4*2-1=7>>7 miles.
The company has 16 - 7 - 4 = <<16-7-4=5>>5 miles of road remaining to pave.
They will need 3 * 5 = <<3*5=15>>15 truckloads of asphalt to pave 5 miles of road.
For 15 truckloads, they will need 15 * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 bags of gravel.
Thus, the company will need 30 / 5 = <<30/5=6>>6 barrels of pitch to finish the road on the third day.

[User] Dorothy earns $60000 a year from her work. She needs to pay 18% of this amount in taxes. How much money will she have left after she pays the taxes?

[Assistant]
<think>
The amount in taxes Dorothy needs to pay is 18/100 * 60000 = $<<18/100*60000=10800>>10800.
So she is going to be left with 60000 - 10800 = $<<60000-10800=49200>>49200.

[User] Kantana loves chocolate. Every Saturday she goes to the candy store and buys 2 chocolates for herself and 1 for her sister. This last Saturday she picked up an additional 10 chocolates as a birthday gift for her friend Charlie. How many chocolates did Kantana end up buying for the month?

[Assistant]
<think>
There is 1 Saturday in a week and there are 4 weeks in a month so there are 1 * 4= <<1*4=4>>4 Saturdays in a month (on average)
If Kantana buys herself 2 chocolates every Saturday then this means she buys 2 * 4=<<2*4=8>>8 chocolates for herself for the month.
Kantana also buys her sister 1 chocolate on these trips so she is picking up an additional 1* 4=<<1*4=4>>4 additional chocolates for her sister for the month.
Kantana decided to also purchase some chocolates for her friend Charlie for his birthday. She bought Charlie 10 chocolates. This means that for the month she bought 10 chocolates for Charlie, 4 chocolates for her sister, and 8 chocolates for herself, 10+4+8= <<10+4+8=22>>22 chocolates bought in total for the month.

[User] Martha needs 4 cups of berries and 2 cups of heavy cream to make 1 quart of ice cream.  She wants to make 1 quart of strawberry ice cream and 1 quart of raspberry ice cream.  At the farmers market, the 2 cup packages of strawberries are $3.00 each and the 2 cup package of raspberries are $5.00 each.  The heavy cream is sold for $4.00 for a 4 cup container.  How much will it cost her to make 1 quart of each ice cream?

[Assistant]
<think>
She needs 4 cups of strawberries per quart of ice cream and the strawberries are sold in 2 cup packages. So 4/2 = <<4/2=2>>2 packages of strawberries
The strawberries cost $3.00 per package and she needs 2 so 3*2=$<<3*2=6.00>>6.00
She needs 4 cups of raspberries per quart of ice cream and the raspberries are sold in 2 cup packages. So 4/2 = <<4/2=2>>2 packages of raspberries
The raspberries cost $5.00 per package and she needs 2 so 5*2 = $<<5*2=10.00>>10.00
Every quart needs 2 cups of heavy cream and she's making 2 quarts so 2*2 = <<2*2=4>>4 quarts
She will spend $6.00 on strawberries, $10.00 on raspberries and $4.00 on heavy cream bringing the total to 6+10+4 = $<<6+10+4=20.00>>20.00

[User] Eve wants to buy her 3 nieces cooking gear that's made for kids.  The hand mitts cost $14.00 and the apron is $16.00.  A set of 3 cooking utensils is $10.00 and a small knife is twice the amount of the utensils.  The store is offering a 25% off sale on all cooking gear.  How much will Eve spend on the gifts?

[Assistant]
<think>
A small knife is twice the amount of the utensils that costs $10.00 so the knife costs 2*10 = $<<2*10=20.00>>20.00
All total, each little kit will costs $14.00 for mitts, $16.00 for an apron, $10.00 for utensils and $20.00 for a knife for a total of 14+16+10+20 = $<<14+16+10+20=60.00>>60.00
Each kit costs $60.00 and they are currently 25% off so that's a savings of 60*.25 = $<<60*.25=15.00>>15.00
The kits are $60.00 and they are $15.00 off so they now cost 60-15 = $<<60-15=45.00>>45.00
She needs to buy 3 kits and each kit costs $45.00 so that's 3*45 = $<<3*45=135.00>>135.00

[User] At a gathering, it was reported that 26 people took wine, 22 people took soda, and 17 people took both drinks. If each person could have taken one or more drinks regardless of what was reported, how many people altogether were at the gathering?

[Assistant]

The number of people who took only wine is the difference between the number of people who took wine and those who took wine and soda which is 26 -17 = <<26-17=9>>9 people
In the same manner, the number of people who took only soda is 22-17 = <<22-17=5>>5 people

[User] Bobby needed to make some trips with his truck and had only 12 gallons of gasoline. He drives to a supermarket 5 miles away and then drives back home. Then he headed to his farm which was 6 miles away. Two miles into the journey, he turned around and drove back home to retrieve some farming tools he forgot to take earlier and drove down to the farm. If he now has exactly 2 gallons of gasoline left, at what rate in miles per gallon has his truck been consuming gasoline?

[Assistant]
<think>
The trip to the supermarket and back home covers 5+5=<<5+5=10>>10 miles.
The round trip of two miles each before he actually went to the farm covers 2+2=<<2+2=4>>4 miles.
Six miles to the farm and the total mileage is 10+4+6=<<10+4+6=20>>20 miles.
The truck consumed 12-2=<<12-2=10>>10 gallons of gasoline for the total journey.
So, the rate is 20/10= <<20/10=2>>2 miles per gallon.

[User] Samuel swept the porch and cleared nine-tenths of the dust particles from it. As he walked across the porch afterward, his shoes left 223 dust particles behind. How many dust particles were on the porch before Samuel swept if there were 331 after he walked across it?

[Assistant]
<think>
Before Samuel walked across the porch, there were 331 - 223 = <<331-223=108>>108 dust particles.
Those 108 were 1/10 of the original amount, so there were 108 * 10 = <<108*10=1080>>1080 dust particles on the porch before Samuel swept.
</think>

<answer>
1080

[User] Kim's TV uses 125 watts of electricity per hour.  She runs it for 4 hours a day.  If electricity cost 14 cents per kw/h how many cents does her TV cost to run for a week?

[Assistant]
<think>
She uses 4 hours/day * 125 watts/hour=<<4*125=500>>500 watt hours/day
That means she uses 500 watt hours/day * 7 days/week = <<500*7=3500>>3500 watt hours/week
This is 3500 watt hours / 1000 watts/kw = <<3500/1000=3.5>>3.5 kw hours
So her TV cost 3.5 kw hours/week * $0.14/kw hour = $<<3.5*0.14=0.49>>0.49/week
</think>

<answer>
49
</answer>

<think>
She uses 4 hours/day * 125 watts/hour=<<4*125=500>>500 watt hours/day

This is 3500 watt hours / 1000 watts/kw = <<3500/1000=3.5>>3.5 kw hours
So her TV cost 3.5 kw hours/week * $0.14/kw hour = $<<3.5*0.14=0.49>>0.49/week

The amount of money deducted from Adam's daily pay is $40 / 10 = $<<40/10=4>>4.
So after deducting 10%, Adam’s daily pay is $40 – $4 = $<<40-4=36>>36.
This means that in 30 days he earns $36 * 30 = $<<36*30=1080>>1080.

[User] Lucille is painting her room. Two of her walls are 3 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The third wall is 5 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The final wall is 4 meters wide and 2 meters tall. If each can of paint covers 2 square meters, how many cans of paint does Lucille need?

[Assistant]
<think>
For the first set of walls, each wall covers 3 meters wide * 2 meters tall = <<3*2=6>>6 square meters.
There are two of these walls, so this becomes a total of 6 meters * 2 walls = <<6*2=12>>12 square meters.
The third wall covers 5 meters wide * 2 meters tall = <<5*2=10>>10 square meters.
The final wall covers 4 meters wide * 2 meters tall = <<4*2=8>>8 square meters.
So in total, the paint needs to cover 12 + 10 + 8 = <<12+10+8=30>>30 metres.
Since each can covers 2 meters, Lucille needs 30 meters / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 cans of paint.

[User] Marla has a grid of squares that has 10 rows and 15 squares in each row. She colors 4 rows of 6 squares in the middle of the grid with red. She colors all squares on the first 2 and last 2 rows with blue. Then she colors the rest with green. How many squares does Marla color green?

[Assistant]
<think>
There are 10 x 15 = <<10*15=150>>150 squares in a grid.
4 x 6 = <<4*6=24>>24 squares are colored red.
There are 2 + 2 = <<2+2=4>>4 rows that are all blue.
Thus, a total of 4 x 15 = <<4*15=60>>60 squares are colored blue.
24 + 60 = <<24+60=84>>84 squares are color red or blue.
Therefore, 150 - 84 = <<150-84=66>>66 square are green.

[User] Students at Highridge High earn 2 points for each correct answer during a quiz bowl If a student correctly answers all the questions in a round, the student is awarded an additional 4 point bonus. They played a total of five rounds each consisting of five questions. If James only missed one question, how many points did he get?

[Assistant]
<think>
If James only missed one question in all five rounds of five questions, he correctly answered 5 * 5 - 1 = <<5*5-1=24>>24 questions
Before the bonus, James earned 24 correct answers * 2 points/answer = <<24*2=48>>48 points.
Since missing one question would only disqualify him from receiving a bonus in one round, he would earn a bonus for 5-1=<<5-1=4>>4 rounds.
He should expect a bonus of 4 rounds* 4 points/round= <<4*4=16>>16 points.
Including his bonus, James scored a total of 48 + 16 = <<48+16=64>>64 points.

[User] On the first day of the journey, the Skipper sailed his ship halfway to the destination by traveling due east for 20 hours at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and then turned the ship's engines off to let them cool down. But while the engines were off, a wind storm blew his vessel backward in a westward direction.  After the storm, the Skipper used his GPS device to determine the new location of the ship, and he discovered that he was only one-third of the way to his destination.  How many kilometers had the ship been blown in a westward direction by the storm?

[Assistant]
<think>
Traveling 20 hours due east at 30 kilometers per hour, the ship sailed 20*30=<<20*30=600>>600 kilometers the first day.
If half the distance to the destination is 600 kilometers, then 2*600=<<2*600=1200>>1200 kilometers is the total distance from start to destination.
One-third of the distance from start to destination is 1/3 * 1200 = <<1200/3=400>>400 kilometers.
Thus, the wind storm blew the ship in a westward direction for 600 - 400 = <<600-400=200>>200 kilometers.

[User] Karen’s work tote bag is twice the weight of her husband Kevin’s briefcase when the briefcase is empty. When Kevin puts his laptop and work papers in his briefcase, it is twice the weight of Karen’s tote. Kevin’s work papers are a sixth of the weight of the contents of his full briefcase.

[User] Keaton climbed a 30 feet ladder twenty times while working at the construction site. Reece, also working at the same site, climbed a ladder 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder 15 times. What's the total length of the ladders that both workers climbed in inches?

[Assistant]
<think>
If Keaton climbed his ladder twenty times, he covered a length of 30*20 = <<30*20=600>>600 feet.
Reece's ladder, 4 feet shorter than Keaton's ladder, was 30-4 = <<30-4=26>>26 feet long.
If Reece climbed the ladder 15 times, he covered a length of 15*26 = <<15*26=390>>390 feet.
Keaton and Reece's total length covered while climbing the ladders is 390+600 = <<390+600=990>>990 feet.
Since one foot is equal to 12 inches, the total length they climbed the ladders in inches is 12*990 = <<12*990=11880>>11880 inches.

11880

[User] Emily makes $1,000,000 per year. If she has 10 employees who make $20,000 per year, how much would her salary be if she took part of her salary to make sure all of her employees make $35,000 per year.

[Assistant]
<think>
Each employee needs $35,000-$20,000=$<<35000-20000=15000>>15,000 more per year.
In total, Emily needs to pay $15,000*10=$<<15000*10=150000>>150,000 extra.
Emily will need to have a new salary of $1,000,000-$150,000=$<<1000000-150000=850000>>850,000 per year.

[User] Linda bought two coloring books at $4 each, 4 packs of peanuts at $1.50 each pack, and one stuffed animal. She gave the cashier $25 and got no change. How much does a stuffed animal cost?

[Assistant]
<think>
The two coloring books amount to 2 x $4 = $<<2*4=8>>8.
The 4 packs of peanuts amount to 4 x $1.50 = $<<4*1.5=6>>6.
The total cost for the coloring books and peanuts is $8 + $6 = $<<8+6=14>>14.
Thus, the stuffed animal cost $25 - $14 = $<<25-14=11>>11.

[User] Nurse Missy is attending to the needs of 12 patients in her hospital ward.  Most of her patients require standard care, but one-third of her patients have special dietary requirements, which increases the serving time by 20%.  At dinner time, she brings each patient their meal. It takes 5 minutes to serve each standard care patient.  How long does it take, in minutes, for Missy to serve dinner to all of her patients?

[Assistant]
<think>
Nurse Missy has 12*(1/3)=<<12*(1/3)=4>>4 special needs patients.
She has 12-4=<<12-4=8>>8 standard care patients.
Special needs patients take 20% longer to serve, which means serving takes 1.2*5=6 minutes per patient.
To serve dinner to all of her standard care patients, it will take 5*8=<<5*8=40>>40 minutes.
To serve dinner to all of her special needs patients, it will take 6*4=<<6*4=24>>24 minutes.
In total, it will take 40+24=<<40+24=64>>64 minutes to serve dinner to all of her patients.
