[Question]It will cost $60 to rent a sailboat and $80 per hour to rent a ski boat. Ken rented a sailboat while Aldrich rented a ski boat. How much more did it cost Aldrich to rent the ski boat than Ken to rent a sailboat for three hours a day in two days?
[Answer]Ken paid $60 x 3 = $180 to rent a sailboat for 3 hours in a day. Aldrich paid $80 x 3 = $240 to rent a ski boat in 3 hours in a day. So Aldrich paid $240 - $180 = $60 more to rent a ski boat than Ken to rent the sailboat each day. Therefore, it cost Aldrich $60 x 2 = $120 more to rent a ski boat than Ken to rent the sailboat in two days. The answer is 120.

Question: To support the school outreach program, Einstein wants to raise $500 by selling snacks. One box of pizza sells for $12, a pack of potato fries sells for $0.30, and a can of soda at $2. Einstein sold 15 boxes of pizzas, 40 packs of potato fries, and 25 cans of soda. How much more money does Einstein need to raise to reach his goal?
Answer:
Einstein collected 15 x $12 = $180 for selling pizzas. He collected 40 x $0.30 = $12 for the 40 packs of potato fries. He collected 25 x $2 = $50 for the 25 cans of soda. Thus, the total amount section Einstein collected was $180 + $12 + $50 = $242. Therefore, Einstein needs $500 - $242 = $258 more to reach the goal. The answer is 258.
