[Question]Milly's babysitter charges $16/hour. Milly is considering switching to a new babysitter who charges $12/hour, but also charges an extra $3 for each time the kids scream at her. If Milly usually hires the babysitter for 6 hours, and her kids usually scream twice per babysitting gig, how much less will the new babysitter cost?
[Answer]First figure out how much the first babysitter costs by multiplying her hourly rate by the number of hours she works: $16 / hour * 6 hours = $96. Then use the same method to figure out how much the second babysitter charges before any screaming: $12 / hour * 6 hours = $72. Then figure out how much the babysitter charges for two screams: 2 screams * $3 / scream = $6. Finally, subtract the second babysitter's two charges from the first babysitter's total charge to find the difference: $96 - $72 - $6 = $18. The answer is 18.

Question: Saturday at the ice cream shop, there were twice as many people who ordered vanilla ice cream as ordered chocolate ice cream. If 220 people ordered ice cream on Saturday, and 20% of those ordered vanilla ice cream, how many people ordered chocolate ice cream?
Answer: If 20% of 220 customers ordered vanilla, then there were 0.2 * 220 = 44 customers who ordered vanilla. If there were twice as many people who ordered vanilla as chocolate, then 44 / 2 = 22 customers ordered chocolate. The answer is 22.
[Question]Noel bakes 4 dozen donuts for his class. There are 30 students in class, but only 80% like donuts. How many donuts does each student who likes donuts get to eat?
[Answer]He makes 48 donuts because 4 x 12 = 48. 24 students want to eat donuts because 30 x .8 = 24. They can each eat 2 donuts because 48 / 24 = 2. The answer is 2.
[Question]Carrie harvested 200 tomatoes and 350 carrots on her farm. If she can sell a tomato for $1 and a carrot for $1.50, how much money can she make if she sells all of her tomatoes and carrots?
