[Question]Julie runs the school newspaper. In preparation for printing the next issue of The School News, she bought two boxes of standard paper, each containing 5 packages, with 250 sheets of paper per package. If this issue of The School News uses 25 sheets of paper to print one newspaper, how many newspapers can Julie print with the paper that she purchased?
[Answer]Five packages per box, with 250 sheets per package is 5 * 250 = 1250 sheets per box. Two boxes contain a total of 1250 * 2 = 2500 sheets. If each newspaper requires 25 pages, then with 2500 sheets she can print 2500 / 25 = 100 newspapers. The answer is 100.
Q: Dakota and Ben order eggs for $3, pancakes for $2, and 2 mugs of cocoa for $2 each. The tax is $1. Later, Ben then decides to order 1 more batch of pancakes and 1 more mug of cocoa as he is still hungry. How much change should they get from $15?
A: The cost of the food is $3 + $2 + $2 + $2 = $9. The original total cost, including tax is $9 + $1 = $10. Ben increases the total cost to $10 + $2 + $2 = $14. They should get $15 - $14 = $1 in change. The answer is 1.
