A: She gets a double espresso for $3.00 every morning and an iced coffee for $2.50 in the afternoon so she spends 3 + 2.5 = $5.50 every day on coffee. After 20 days, she spends 20 * 5.5 = $110.00 on coffee. The answer is 110.
Question: Ralph is going to practice playing tennis with a tennis ball machine that shoots out tennis balls for Ralph to hit. He loads up the machine with 175 tennis balls to start with. Out of the first 100 balls, he manages to hit 2/5 of them. Of the next 75 tennis balls, he manages to hit 1/3 of them. Out of all the tennis balls, how many did Ralph not hit?
Answer: Out of the first 100 balls, Ralph was able to hit 2 / 5 of them and not able to hit 3 / 5 of them, 3 / 5 x 100 = 60 tennis balls Ralph didn't hit. Out of the next 75 balls, Ralph was able to hit 1 / 3 of them and not able to hit 2 / 3 of them, 2 / 3 x 75 = 50 tennis balls that Ralph didn't hit. Combined, Ralph was not able to hit 60 + 50 = 110 tennis balls Ralph didn't hit. The answer is 110.

Q: Bill is buying healthcare on an exchange. The normal monthly price of the plan he wants is $500. The government will pay for part of this cost depending on Bill's income: 90% if he makes less than $10,000, 50% if he makes between $10,001 and $40,000, and 20% if he makes more than $50,000. Bill earns $25/hour and works 30 hours per week, four weeks per month. How much will Bill spend for health insurance in a year?
A: First find how much money Bill makes every week by multiplying his hourly rate by the number of hours he works each week: $25 / hour * 30 hours / week = $750 / week. Then multiply that number by the number of weeks per month to find his monthly earnings: $750 / week * 4 weeks / month = $3,000 / month. Then multiply his monthly earnings by the number of months in a year to find his annual income: $3,000 / month * 12 months / year = $36,000 / year. This income means Bill gets a 50% monthly healthcare subsidy from the government. Multiply the cost of the premium by 50% to find the monthly cost Bill pays: $500 / month * .5 = $250 / month. Finally, multiply Bill's monthly cost by the number of months in a year to find his annual cost: $250 / month * 12 months / year = $3,000 / year. The answer is 3000.
Question: Caleb, Andy and Billy went on a picnic with their father. Billy took 6 candies with him, Caleb took 11 and Andy left with 9. On the way, their father bought a packet of 36 candies. He gave 8 candies to Billy, 11 to Caleb and the rest to Andy. How many more candies does Andy now have than Caleb?
Answer: Billy took some candies and got more from his father for a total of 6 + 8 = 14 candies. Caleb has a total of 11 + 11 = 22 candies. Their father gave out 8 + 11 = 19 candies from a pack of 36. He gave the rest which is 36 - 19 = 17 candies to Andy. Andy has a total of 9 + 17 = 26 candies. Andy has 26 - 22 = 4 more candies than Caleb. The answer is 4.
Q: James has 3 gallons of milk. He drank 13 ounces of the milk. If there are 128 ounces in a gallon, how many ounces of milk does James have left?
A:
First find out how many ounces of milk James had to begin with by multiplying the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon: 3 gallons * 128 ounces / gallon = 384 oz. Now subtract the 13 ounces James drank from the initial amount of milk: 384 oz - 13 oz = 371 oz. The answer is 371.
