Q: Jenna is buying concert tickets for her group of five friends. She's able to get two of the tickets from the concert website for $50 each before they sell out. A scalper offers to sell her two more tickets for 240% of the normal price, but Jenna convinces him to give her $10 off that total payment. Finally, one of her friends gets a discounted ticket through her job for 60% of the normal price. How much do Jenna's friends pay for their tickets in total?
A: First calculate the price of the two normally priced tickets by multiplying the price and the quantity: $50 * 2 = $100. Then calculate the scalper's initial asking price by multiplying the normal cost of two tickets by 240%: $100 * 2.4 = $240. Then subtract the $10 discount Jenna negotiated: $240 - $10 = $230. Now calculate the price of the discounted ticket Jenna's friend gets through her job by multiplying the normal ticket price by 60%: $50 * .6 = $30. Finally, add up the price of all the tickets to find the total: $100 + $230 + $30 = $360. The answer is 360.
Question: Steve spends 1/3 of the day sleeping, 1/6 of the day in school, 1/12 of the day making assignments, and the rest of the day with his family. How many hours does Steve spend with his family in a day?
Answer: Steve spends 24 / 3 = 8 hours sleeping. He spends 24 / 6 = 4 hours in school. He spends 24 / 12 = 2 hours making assignments. He spends 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 hours either sleeping, going to school, or making assignments. Hence, Steve spends 24 - 14 = 10 hours with his family. The answer is 10.

Q: The ratio of boys to girls at the dance was 3:4. There were 60 girls at the dance. The teachers were 20% of the number of boys. How many people were at the dance?
A: 60 girls represent 4 parts, so one part of students is 60 / 4 = 15 students. There are 15 * 3 = 45 boys at the dance. The teachers at the dance are 45 * 0,2 = 9 teachers at the dance. There are 60 + 45 + 9 = 114 people at the dance. The answer is 114.
Question: A quarterback throws 50 passes in one game. He throws twice as many passes to the right of the field than he does to the left of the field. He throws 2 more passes to the center of the field than he did to the left. How many passes did he throw to the left side of the field?
Answer: Let x represent the number of passes thrown to the left side of the field. Right:2x. Center:x + 2. Total:x + 2x + x + 2 = 50. 4x + 2 = 50. 4x = 48. x = 12 passes. The answer is 12.
Q: Mary and Mike are sharing a jar of paint. Mary paints a dragon using 3 square feet worth of paint. Mike paints a castle using 2 square feet more paint than Mary used on her dragon. They both then work together to paint the biggest sun possible. If there was originally enough paint in the jar to cover 13 square feet, how many square feet of paint can be used to paint the sun?
A:
The castle uses 3 + 2 = 5 square feet of paint. The sun uses 13 - 3 - 5 = 5 square feet of paint. The answer is 5.
