Q: Mark goes into the store to buy some groceries. He buys 6 2$ cans of soup, 2 $5 loaves of bread, 2 3$ boxes of cereal, and 2 $4 gallons of milk. When he gets to the register, he opens his wallet to pay and realizes he only has $10 bills in there. How many $10 bills does he need to use to pay?
A: Mark buys 6 $2 cans of soup, meaning he spends 6 * 2 = 12 dollars on soup. Mark buys 2 $5 loaves of bread, meaning he spends 2 * 5 = 10 dollars on bread. Mark buys 2 $3 boxes of cereal, meaning he spends 2 * 3 = 6 dollars on cereal. Mark buys 2 $4 gallons of milk, meaning he spends 2 * 4 = 8 dollars on milk. All added together, this means Mark spends 12 + 10 + 6 + 8 = 36 dollars. Since Mark only has $10 bills, he spends 36 / 10 = 3.6 tens on it, which rounds up to 4 as you cannot spend .6 of an undividable item. The answer is 4.
Question: Mary just arrived at the beach. She has 4 times as many towels as Frances does. The total weight of their towels is 60 pounds. If Mary has 24 towels, how much do Frances's towels weigh in ounces?
Answer: Frances has 24 / 4 = 6 towels. They have 24 + 6 = 30 towels. Each towel weighs 60 / 30 = 2 pounds. Frances's towels weigh a total of 2 * 4 = 8 pounds. Frances's towels weigh a total of 8 * 16 = 128 ounces. The answer is 128.

Q: Mitch is a freelancer, she works 5 hours every day from Monday to Friday and 3 hours every Saturday and Sunday. If she earns $3 per hour and earns double on weekends, how much does she earn every week?
A: Mitch earns 5 x $3 = $15 every weekday. So, she earns $15 x 5 = $75 from Monday to Friday. And she earns $3 x 2 = $6 per hour every weekend. Hence, the total amount she earns every weekend is $6 x 3 = $18. So, she earns $18 x 2 = $36 every Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, the total amount she earns every week is $75 + $36 = $111. The answer is 111.
Question: Samuel is going to the cinema with his brother, Kevin. They both have a total budget of $20 for their outing. Samuel buys his $14 ticket, then spends $6 on drinks and food. Kevin buys his ticket, then spends $2 on drinks. They have both used their entire budget. How much did Kevin spend on food?
Answer: We know Kevin bought a ticket and drinks, and this cost him 14 + 2 = 16 dollars. Since Kevin spent his entire budget, his food must have cost 20 16 = 4 dollars. The answer is 4.
