Gina is figuring out how much she'll have to spend on college this year. She's taking 14 credits that cost $450 each, and she has to pay $120 for each of her 5 textbooks plus a $200 facilities fee. How much will Gina spend in total?
Let's think: First, find out how much will Gina pay for tuition by multiplying her number of credits by the cost per credit: 14 * 450 = $6300. Then find out how much she pays for textbooks by multiplying the number of books by the cost per book: 5 * 120 = $600. Finally, add up all Gina's costs to find the total of 6300 + 600 + 200 = $7100.. The answer is: 7100.

Haley grows at the rate of 3 inches every year. If she is currently 20 inches tall, what will be her height after 10 years?
Let's think: After 10 years, growing at the rate of 3 inches every year, Haley will have grown by 3 * 10 = 30 inches. If she is currently 20 inches tall, her height after 10 years will be 20 + 30 = 50 inches.. The answer is: 50.

Billy can spit a watermelon seed 30 inches. Madison can spit a watermelon seed 20% farther than Billy. Ryan can spit a watermelon seed 50% shorter than Madison. How far can Ryan spit a watermelon seed?
Let's think: Madison can spit a seed 20% farther than Billy's 30 inches so that's .20 * 30 = 6 inches farther. Billy spits a seed 30 inches and Madison can spit 6 inches farther for a total of 30 + 6 = 36 inches. Ryan can spit a seed 50% shorter than Madison's 36 inches for a total of .50 * 36 = 18 inches.. The answer is: 18.

Andy is a lawyer who's working on two lawsuits. The first lawsuit has a 30% chance of paying out $5,000,000 upon a win and $0 if he loses it. The second lawsuit has a 50% chance of paying out $1,000,000 if Andy loses and a 50% chance of paying out $2,000,000 if he wins. Expressed as a percentage, how much more likely is it that Andy loses both lawsuits compared to winning both of them?
Let's think:
First find the probability that Andy will lose the first lawsuit: 100% - 30% = 70%. Then multiply that probability by the probability he loses the second lawsuit: 70% * 50% = 35%. Then multiply the probabilities of Andy winning each lawsuit to find the probability he wins them both: 30% * 50% = 15%. Then subtract the probability Andy wins both lawsuits from the probability he loses both lawsuits to find the difference: 35% - 15% = 20%.. The answer is: 20.
