Question: The buyers who came to Mr. Brandon's shop yesterday bought goods worth $80. If 2/5 of the total amount of sales Mr. Brandon made yesterday were credit sales, and the rest were cash sales, how much did Mr. Brandon get from cash sales?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: 2 / 5 of the total amount of sales Mr. Brandon made yesterday, which were credit purchases, were worth 2 / 5 * $80 = $32. The cash sales that Mr. Brandon made yesterday was $80 - $32 = $48.
So the answer is 48.

Question: George and Amelia are picking oranges and apples at an orchard. George picks 45 oranges and 5 more apples than Amelia. Amelia picks 18 fewer oranges than George and 15 apples. How many fruits do they pick altogether?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Amelia picks 45 - 18 = 27 oranges. The total number of oranges that they pick is 45 + 27 = 72. George picks 15 + 5 = 20 apples. The total number of apples that they pick is 20 + 15 = 35. So, they pick 72 + 35 = 107 fruits altogether.
So the answer is 107.

Question: Martha gets prize points every time she shops at her local grocery store. She gets 50 points per $10 spent, plus a 250 point bonus if she spends more than $100. Martha buys 3 pounds of beef for $11 each, 8 pounds of fruits and vegetables for $4/pound, 3 jars of spices for $6 each, and other groceries totaling $37. How many points does Martha get?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
First find the total cost of the beef: $11 / pound * 3 pounds = $33. Then find the total cost of the fruits and vegetables: $4 / pound * 8 pounds = $32. Then find the total cost of the spices: $6 / jar * 3 jars = $18. Now add the cost of all the items to find Martha's total spending: $33 + $32 + $18 + $37 = $120. Now divide 50 points by $10 to find now many points Martha gets per dollar: 50 points / $10 = 5 points / dollar. Now multiply this exchange rate by Martha's total spending to find how many points she gets before the bonus: $120 * 5 points / dollar = 600 points. Finally, add the 250 point bonus Martha gets for spending more than $100: 600 points + 250 points = 850 points.
So the answer is 850.
