Mowing lawns will earn Julie 20 * 20 = 400 dollars. Her earnings, in dollars, from delivering newspapers will be 600 * 40 / 100 = 240 dollars. After walking 24 of her neighbor's dogs, she will earn 24 * 15 = 360 dollars. She will therefore earn a total of 400 + 240 + 360 = 1000 dollars. Combining earnings from her job with her savings will give Julie 1000 + 1500 = 2500 dollars. Subtracting the cost of the mountain bike from the total will leave Julie with a balance of 2500 - 2345 = 155 dollars.
The answer: 155
Reverse engineering the question: Julie wants to give her favorite cousin a $2345 mountain bike for his birthday. So far, she has saved $1500. Since the birthday is still a few weeks away, Julie has time to save even more. She plans on mowing 20 lawns, delivering 600 newspapers, and walking 24 of her neighbors' dogs. She is paid $20 for each lawn, 40 cents per newspaper, and $15 per dog. After purchasing the bike, how much money will Julie have left?
Reasoning and answer: The teams have 33 total wins because 12 + 13 + 8 = 33. The teams have 66 points from wins because 33 x 2 = 66. The teams have 15 total ties because 4 + 1 + 10 = 15. The teams have 15 points from ties because 15 x 1 = 15. The teams have 81 total points because 66 + 15 = 81. The average number of points per team is 27 because 81 / 3 = 27.
The answer: 27

Reasoning and answer: The family spent $15 on ice cream because 5 x 3 = 15. They total amount of change they had was $15.48 because 15 + .48 = 15.48. They have $1.23 in pennies because 123 x .01 = 1.23. They have $4.25 in nickels because 85 x .05 = 4.25. They have $3.50 in dimes because 35 x .1 = 3.5. Without the quarters they have a total of $8.98 because 1.23 + 4.25 + 3.5 = 8.98. They have $6.5 worth of quarters because 15.48 - 8.98 = 6.5. They have 26 quarters because 6.5 / .25 = 26.
The answer: 26

Reasoning and answer: Whitney is buying 2 posters for $5 each, so the posters will cost 2 * $5 = $10 total cost for posters. Whitney is buying 3 notebooks for $4 each, so the notebooks will cost 3 * $4 = $12 total cost for notebooks. Whitney is buying 2 notebooks for $2, so the bookmarks 2 * $2 = $4 total cost for bookmarks. Since Whitney is paying $10 for posters, $12 for notebooks, and $4 for bookmarks, her total purchase will cost $10 + $12 + $4 = $26 total purchase cost. Whitney's mom gave her 2 $20 bills, so she will be paying with 2 * $20 = $40 total payment. Since Whitney is paying with $40 and her purchase cost will be $26, she will have $40 - $26 = $14 left over after the purchase.
The answer: 14
