Question: While buying DVDs at the store, Maria received a 25% discount. If the discount she received is $40, how much did she pay in total?
Answer: Since 100 percent represent the original price, and she received a 25% discount which is $40, the original price is 100 / 25 * 40 = 160. Maria paid $160 - $40 = $120 after receiving the twenty - five percent discount. The answer is 120.
[Question]Ursula bought five hot dogs at $1.50 each and three salads at $2.50 each. If she had two $10 bills, how much change did she get back?
[Answer]Five hotdogs cost 5 x $1.50 = $7.50. Three salads cost 3 x $2.50 = $7.50. The total cost was $7.50 + $7.50 = $15. And, Ursula had 2 x $10 = $20. Therefore, Ursula got a change of $20 - $15 = $5. The answer is 5.

Question: At the museum, Bethany saw 4 times more still lifes than portraits. If she saw 80 paintings total, how many portraits did she see?
Answer: Let s be the number of still lifes Bethany saw and p be the number of portraits. We know that s + p = 80 and s = 4p. Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get 4p + p = 80. Combining like terms, we get 5p = 80. Dividing both sides by 5, we get p = 16. The answer is 16.
Q: Lisa and Carly go shopping together. Lisa spends $40 on t-shirts then spends half of this amount on jeans and twice this amount on coats. Carly spends only a quarter as much as Lisa on t-shirts but spends 3 times as much on jeans and a quarter of the amount Lisa spent on coats. In dollars, how much did Lisa and Carly spend in total?
A:
Lisa spends $40 on t - shirts / 2 = $20 on jeans. She also spends $40 on t - shirts * 2 = $80 on coats. So Lisa has spent a total of 40 + 20 + 80 = $140. Carly spends $40 / 4 = $10 on t - shirts. She also spends $20 per pair of jeans * 3 = $60 on jeans. She then also spends $80 Lisa's cost for coats / 4 = $20 on coats. So Carly has spent a total of 10 + 60 + 20 = $90. Lisa and Carly have therefore spent a total of 140 + 90 = $230. The answer is 230.
