Owen bred 21 turtles, and Johanna has 5 fewer turtles than Owen. After 1 month, Owen has twice as many turtles as before and Johanna loses half of her turtles and donates the rest to Owen. How many turtles did Owen have? | Johanna had 21 turtles - 5 turtles = <<21-5=16>>16 turtles.
After 1 month, Owen was left with 21 turtles * 2 = <<21*2=42>>42 turtles.
After 1 month, Johanna was left with 16 turtles / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 turtles.
After Johanna's donation, Owen was left with 42 turtles + 8 turtles = <<42+8=50>>50 turtles.

A school is adding 5 rows of seats to the auditorium. Each row has 8 seats and each seat costs $30. A parent, being a seat manufacturer, offered a 10% discount on each group of 10 seats purchased. How much will the school pay for the new seats?Ten seats amount to $30 x 10 = $<<30*10=300>>300.
So there is $300 x 10/100 = $<<300*10/100=30>>30 discount for each 10 seats purchased.
Thus, the total cost for every 10 seats is $300 - $30 = $<<300-30=270>>270.
The school is going to buy 5 x 8 = <<5*8=40>>40 seats.
This means that the school is going to buy 40/10 = <<40/10=4>>4 sets of 10 seats.
Therefore, the school will pay a total of $270 x 4 = $<<270*4=1080>>1080 for the new seats

You are solving math problems. Here are some examples of how to solve the task:
Tapanga and Corey have 66 candies together. However, Tapanga has 8 more candies than Corey. How many candies does Corey have?Let x = the total number of candies Corey has.
x + 8 = the total number of candies Tapanga has.
The equation for the total number of candies is x + (x + 8) = 66
Combining like terms, we get 2x + 8 = 66
Subtracting 8 from both sides, we get 2x = 58
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = <<29=29>>29, so Corey has 29 candies.

John and Yasmin's dad is named Gabriel. If John has twice the number of children that her sister has and Gabriel has six grandkids, how many children does Yasmin have?We don't know Yasmin's number of children yet, but let's represent it as Y.
If John has twice the number of children Yasmin has, then John has 2*Y = 2Y kids
If Gabriel has 6 grandkids between John's and Yasmin's children, then we can represent this as 6 = 2Y + Y
If we solve the latest equation then we learn that 6=3Y
Given that Y represents how many kids Yasmin has, then solving for Y we know that Y=6/3 or Y=2 kids

Mike and John dined at the Taco Palace restaurant. They each ordered the Taco Grande Plate as their main meal, but Mike also ordered a side salad for $2, a plate of cheesy fries for $4, and a diet cola for $2. As a result, Mike's lunch bill was twice as large as John's bill. What was the combined total cost, in dollars, of Mike and John's lunch? | Let "x" be the cost in dollars of the Taco Grande Plate.
Since twice the cost of John's Taco Plate equals the cost of Mike's Taco Plate plus added items, then 2x = x+2+4+2.
Simplifying the equation, we get 2x = x+8.
Subtracting x from each side of the equation, we are left with x=8 dollars as the cost of the Taco Grande Plate.
Thus the combined total cost of Mike and John's lunch is 8+8+2+4+2=<<8+8+2+4+2=24>>24 dollars.
