[Question]Carl wants to buy a new coat that is quite expensive. He saved $25 each week for 6 weeks. On the seventh week, he had to use a third of his saving to pay some bills. On the eighth week, his dad gave him some extra money for him to buy his dream coat. If the coat cost $170, how much money did his dad give him?
[Answer]Carl saved in 6 weeks $25 / week x 6 weeks = $150. On the seventh week, he ended up having to pay in bills $150 / 3 = $50. His savings were then $150 - $50 = $100. His dad gave him $170 $100 = $70. The answer is 70.

[Question]Phoebe eats 1 serving and gives her dog 1 serving of peanut butter for a bedtime snack. Each jar of peanut butter has 15 servings. How many jars will she need to make sure she and her dog have enough to last for 30 days?
[Answer]She and her dog both have a serving before bed so they eat 1 + 1 = 2 servings a day. She wants to have enough for 30 days and they eat 2 servings a day so they need 30 * 2 = 60 servings. Each jar has 15 servings and she needs 60 servings so she will need 60 / 15 = 4 jars of peanut butter. The answer is 4.

[Question]Bobby has three squares of fabric that he will turn into a flag. The first square is 8 feet by 5 feet. The second one is 10 feet by 7 feet. The third one is 5 feet by 5 feet. If he wants his flag to be 15 feet long, how tall will it be?
[Answer]The first square is 40 square feet because 8 x 5 = 40. The second square is 70 feet because 10 x 7 = 70. The third square is 25 feet because 5 x 5 = 25. The total square footage is 135 feet because 40 + 70 + 25 = 135. The flag will be 9 feet tall because 135 / 15 = 9. The answer is 9.

[Question]Mark went to a store where he spent one-half of his money, and then spent $14 more. He then went to another store where he spent one-third of his starting money, and then spent $16 more. If he then had no money left, how much did he have when he entered the first store?
[Answer]
Let X be the money Mark had. Mark spent 1 / 2 * X + 14 in the first store and 1 / 3 * X + 16 in the second store. Mark has X - 1 / 2 * X - 14 - 1 / 3 * X - 16 = $0 left. Combining like terms, we get 1 / 6 * X - 30 = $0. Adding 30 to both sides and multiplying both sides by 6, we find that Mark had X = $180 when he entered the first store. The answer is 180.
