[Question]Mrs. Lopez and her family are going to the movie theatre. Adult tickets are $11. Children's tickets (ages 3-12) are $8. Senior citizen's tickets (ages 60+) are $9. Mrs. Lopez needs to buy movie tickets for her husband, herself, her parents (ages 72 and 75), and her three children (ages 7, 10, 14). How much money does she need to buy everyone's tickets?
[Answer]Mrs. Lopez needs to buy two adult tickets for $11 x 2 = $22. She needs to buy two senior citizen tickets for $9 x 2 = $18. She needs to buy three children's tickets for $8 x 3 = $24. For everyone's tickets, Mrs. Lopez needs to spend $22 + $18 + $24 = $64 for seven tickets. The answer is 64.

[Question]Amanda and her family are going to re-paint all the walls inside their house. Before they get started they want to divide up the work. Since all the rooms in the house have different numbers and sizes of walls in them, they figure the fairest way to divide up the work is to count all the walls in the house and assign an equal number to each person. There are 5 people in Amanda's family, including herself. There are 9 rooms in the house. 5 of the rooms have 4 walls each. The other 4 rooms each have 5 walls each. To be fair, how many walls should each person in Amanda's family paint?
[Answer]First, Amanda needs to figure out how many walls there are in the house, 5 rooms x 4 walls each = 20 walls. The other 4 rooms have x 5 walls each = 20 walls. The house has 20 walls + 20 walls = 40 walls total. To divide the work equally between the 5 people, 40 walls / 5 people = 8 walls for each person. The answer is 8.

[Question]The long jump finals contained four national champions competing against one another. The first competitor jumped a distance of 22 feet. The second competitor jumped one foot farther than the first competitor. The third competitor jumped two feet shorter than the third competitor. And the fourth competitor jumped 3 feet further than the third competitor. How long, in feet, did the fourth competitor jump?
[Answer]The second competitor jumped one foot farther than the first competitor, for a distance of 22 + 1 = 23 feet. The third competitor jumped two feet shorter than the third competitor, for a distance of 23 - 2 = 21 feet. And the fourth competitor jumped 3 feet further than the third competitor, for a distance of 21 + 3 = 24 feet. The answer is 24.
