Question: Andrew holds a bake sale to fundraise for charity. The bake sale earns a total of $400. Andrew keeps $100 to cover the cost of ingredients. He donates half of the remaining total to the local homeless shelter, and the other half to the local food bank. Andrew also decides to donate $10 from his own piggy bank to the local homeless shelter. How much money in total does Andrew donate to the homeless shelter?
Answer: After paying off the cost of ingredients, Andrew has $400 - $100 = $300. Since half of the money goes to the homeless shelter, the shelter receives $300 / 2 = $150. After contributing some of his own money, Andrew donates $150 + $10 = $160 to the shelter. The answer is 160.

Q: Kendra wants enough shirts that she only has to do laundry once every two weeks. She wears one shirt to school for each of the five weekdays. Three days a week, she changes into a different shirt for an after-school club. On Saturday, she wears one shirt all day. On Sunday, she wears a different shirt to church than she does for the rest of the day. How many shirts does she need to be able to only do laundry once every two weeks?

With her shirt on Saturday, she wears 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 11 shirts each week. She wants to have 2 weeks' worth of shirts, so she needs 11 * 2 = 22 shirts. The answer is 22.
Question: Ellen is in charge of parking at a golf tournament. Once the main lot is full, she must direct cars to park in the overflow lot. She must transport the patrons who parked in the overflow lot up to the main lot using a golf cart. Ellen can fit 3 patrons in a golf cart. There are 12 patrons who came in cars and 27 from a bus waiting in the overflow parking lot. How many golf carts does Ellen need to transport them?
Answer: There are a total of 12 patrons who came in cars + 27 from a bus = 39 patrons who need a ride to the main lot. 3 patrons can fit in each golf cart, so 39 patrons / 3 in a cart = 13 total carts. The answer is 13.
Q: Mary is building a mosaic for her school cafeteria's wall. It will be 10 feet tall and 15 feet long. Each tile she uses is 1 inch square. How many tiles will she need?
A:
First convert the length of the mural to inches: 15 feet * 12 inches / foot = 180 inches. Then convert the height of the mural to inches: 10 feet * 12 inches / foot = 120 inches. Then multiply the length and the height to find the total area of the mural: 180 inches * 120 inches = 21600 square inches. Since each tile is 1 square inch, this is also the number of tiles she needs. The answer is 21600.
