Question: If you buy 2 packs of 500 mL milk, it will cost $2.50. If you buy them individually, they will cost $1.30 each. How much is your total savings from buying ten sets of 2 packs of 500 mL milk?
Answer: The price per 500 mL milk from the 2 packs is $2.50 / 2 = $1.25. This means that for each pack of 500 mL milk, you can save $1.30 - $1.25 = $0.05. Ten sets of 2 packs mean 10 x 2 = 20 packs of 500 mL of milk. So, your total savings will be $0.05 x 20 = $1. The answer is 1.
[Question]Felicia is baking a cake. She needs 2 cups of flour, a cup of white sugar, a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and a 1/2 cup of oil. Her only measuring scoop is 1/4 cup. How many times does she fill it to complete the measurements?
[Answer]She fills it 8 times for the flour because 2 / (1 / 4) = 8. She fills it 4 times for the white sugar because 1 / (1 / 4) = 4. She fills is 2 times for the oil because (1 / 2) / (1 / 4) = 2. She fills it 1 time for the brown sugar because she needs exactly 1 / 4 of a cup. She fills is 15 times because 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 equals 15. The answer is 15.
Q: William's class set a goal each week of the number of cans of food that is to be collected. On the first day, 20 cans were collected. Then the number of cans increased by 5 each day. If they collected 5 days a week to reach their goal, how many cans of food was their goal per week?
A: On the second day, they collected 20 + 5 = 25 cans. On the third day, they collected 25 + 5 = 30 cans. On the fourth day, they collected 30 + 5 = 35 cans. On the fifth day, they collected 35 + 5 = 40 cans. Thus, the goal of William's class is to collect a total of 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 = 150 cans of food per week. The answer is 150.
Question: Katerina purchases 3 pots and 4 pans at the home goods store. Each pot costs $20. The total cost of Katerina's items is $100. If each pan is the same price, what is the cost of 2 pans?
Answer: The cost of the pots is 3 * $20 = $60. The cost of 4 pans is $100 - $60 = $40. Since each pan is the same price, the cost of 1 pan is $40 / 4 = $10. The cost of 2 pans is $10 + $10 = $20. The answer is 20.
[Question]A couple agreed to split their expenses equally, including the salary of their house help. While doing her job, the house help had an accident; thus, she underwent a medical procedure which cost her $128. The couple decided to pay half of the medical expenses and the other half will be deducted from her $160 salary. If the husband paid for the entire half of the hospital bill, how much does he still need to pay so that they split the expenses for the house help equally?
[Answer]The amount that the couple would cover for the hospital bill is $128 / 2 = $64. The couple's total expenses (salary and hospital bill) is $160 + $64 = $224. So each of them should give $224 / 2 = $112 in total. Since the husband paid the entire half of the hospital bill already ($64), he still needs to pay $112 - $64 = $48. The answer is 48.
