[Question]Jay & Gloria were hosting a 4th of July party at their house. Jay invited 22 people and Gloria invited 36. They wanted to buy small American flags for everyone. The craft store was having a sale on small flags, 5 flags for $1.00. If they wanted all of their guests to have a flag and they also wanted 1 flag each, how much would they spend at the craft store?
[Answer]Jay invited 22 guests and Gloria invited 36 so they invited 22 + 36 = 58 guests. They also each wanted a flag so in total they would need 1 + 1 + 58 = 60 flags. The craft store has them on sale at 5 for $1.00 and they need 60 flags so the flags will cost them 60 / 5 = $12.00. The answer is 12.

[Question]Alyssa took 100 photos on vacation. She wants to put them in a photo album with 30 pages. She can place 3 photos each on the first 10 pages. Then she can place 4 photos each on the next 10 pages. If she wants to put an equal number of photos on each of the remaining pages of the album, how many photos can she place on each page?
[Answer]There are 3 x 10 = 30 photos in total that can be placed in the first 10 pages. There are 4 x 10 = 40 photos in total that can be placed in the next 10 pages. A total of 10 + 10 = 20 pages of the album have been used. A total of 30 + 40 = 70 photos can be placed on those 20 pages. So there are still 100 - 70 = 30 photos left to be placed on the album. And there are 30 - 20 = 10 pages left in the album. Therefore, 30 / 10 = 3 photos can be placed on each of the pages. The answer is 3.
Q: Hank is raising money for the local homeless shelter. Hank makes $100 in a carwash and donates 90% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. Hank makes $80 in a bake sale and donates 75% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. Then he makes $50 mowing lawns and donates 100% of the proceeds to the local homeless shelter. How much money does Hank donate in total?
A: From the carwash, Hank donates $100 * 0.90 = $90. From the bake sale, Hank donates $80 * 0.75 = $60. From mowing lawns, Hank donates $50 * 1.00 = $50. Hank donates a total of $90 + $60 + $50 = $200. The answer is 200.
