# GSM8K Problem 5

Every day, Wendi feeds each of her chickens three cups of mixed chicken feed, containing seeds, mealworms and vegetables to help keep them healthy.  She gives the chickens their feed in three separate meals. In the morning, she gives her flock of chickens 15 cups of feed.  In the afternoon, she gives her chickens another 25 cups of feed.  How many cups of feed does she need to give her chickens in the final meal of the day if the size of Wendi's flock is 20 chickens?

Reason step by step, then give ONLY the final answer on the last line as \boxed{ANSWER}.

<!-- imported from openai/gsm8k (test) -->

First, calculate the total amount of feed required for the entire flock each day. Since there are 20 chickens and each chicken needs 3 cups of feed per day:
20 chickens × 3 cups/chicken = 60 cups total.

Next, determine how much feed has already been given in the first two meals:
15 cups (morning) + 25 cups (afternoon) = 40 cups.

Finally, subtract the amount already given from the total daily requirement to find the amount needed for the final meal:
60 cups - 40 cups = 20 cups.

\boxed{20}
