[Question]A jewelry store is restocking its shelves. The necklace stand, which can hold 12 necklaces, currently holds 5 necklaces. The ring display, which can hold 30 rings, currently holds 18 rings. The bracelet display, which can hold 15 bracelets, currently holds 8 bracelets. The store's supplier charges $4 per necklace, $10 per ring, and $5 per bracelet. How much, in dollars, will the store need to pay to fill the displays?
[Answer]The necklace stand needs another 12 5 = 7 necklaces. This will cost the store 7 * 4 = $28. The ring display needs another 30 18 = 12 rings. This will cost the store 12 * 10 = $120. The bracelet display needs another 15 8 = 7 bracelets. This will cost the store 7 * 5 = $35. In total, the store needs to pay 28 + 120 + 35 = $183. The answer is 183.
Q: Marta is arranging floral centerpieces for a reception party. Each arrangement needs to have 8 roses,12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and twice as many lilies. The reception will have 10 tables. How many flowers will she need in total to fill this order?
A: She needs twice as many lilies as the 3 snapdragons in the arrangement so she needs 2 * 3 = 6 lilies. She needs 8 roses, 12 daisies, 3 snapdragons and 6 lilies for a total of 8 + 12 + 3 + 6 = 29 flowers per arrangement. She needs 29 flowers per each of the 10 tables for a total of 29 * 10 = 290 flowers. The answer is 290.

[Question]There were 10 snowflakes at first. It snowed an additional 4 snowflakes every 5 minutes. How many minutes passed before there were 58 snowflakes?
[Answer]Without the first 10 snowflakes, there are 58 - 10 = 48 snowflakes needed. 48 / 4 = 12 5 - minute intervals are needed to get the additional snowflakes. 12 * 5 = 60 minutes passed. The answer is 60.
Q: If a basket is capable of holding 40 fruit altogether, and there are 3 times as many apples as oranges, how many oranges are there?
A: Since the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1, that means for every 3 apples there is 1 orange. The size of this group is therefore 3 + 1 = 4. We then divide this group size into the total amount of fruit the basket is holding at this time, which is 40. This means there are 40 / 4 = 10 of these groups in total. Since there are 10 of these groups in total, that means there are 10 * 1 = 10 oranges in the basket. The answer is 10.
