[Question]Jackson is buying school supplies for his third grade class, which has 30 students. Each student needs 5 pens, 3 notebooks, 1 binder and 2 highlighters. Pens cost $0.50, notebooks cost $1.25, binders cost $4.25, and highlighters cost $0.75. If Jackson gets a $100 teacher discount, how much does he spend on school supplies?
[Answer]First calculate the cost of the pens for one student by multiplying the number of pens by the cost per pen: 5 pens * $0.50 / pen = $2.50. Then calculate the cost of the notebooks for one student by multiplying the number of notebooks by the cost per notebook: 3 notebooks * $1.25 / notebook = $3.75. Then calculate the cost of the highlighters for one student by multiplying the number of highlighters by the cost per highlighters: 2 highlighters * $0.75 / highlighter = $1.50. Now add the cost of all the different supplies to find the total cost for one student: $2.50 + $3.75 + $1.50 + $4.25 = $12.00. Now multiply the cost per student by the number of students to find the total cost before the discount: 30 students * $12.00 / student = $360.00. Now subtract the teacher discount to find the final cost: $360.00 - $100.00 = $260.00. The answer is 260.
Q: A local music festival is held every year for three days. The three day attendance this year was 2700 people. The second day was rainy so only half the number of people that showed up the first day showed up the second day. The third day was the finale, so attendance was triple the original day. How many people attended the second day of the festival?
A: Let x represent the attendance the first day. Second day: x / 2. Third day: 3x. Total:x + (x / 2) + 3x = 2700. (9 / 2)x = 2700. 9x = 5400. x = 600. Second day:600 / 2 = 300 people. The answer is 300.
Question: There are 12 more green apples than red apples in a bowl. There are 16 red apples. How many apples are there in the bowl?

[Question]Cody goes to the store and buys $40 worth of stuff. The taxes were 5%. After taxes, he got an $8 discount. Cody and his friend split the final price equally. How much did Cody pay?
[Answer]The taxes were 40 * .05 = $2. So the price was 40 + 2 = $42. He got a discount so the price he paid was 42 - 8 = $34. Since he paid half his price was 34 / 2 = $17. The answer is 17.
Q: Keith scored 3 points on the math test. Larry scored 3 times as many marks. Danny scored 5 more marks than Larry. Find the total amount of marks scored by the three students.

Question: A clinic administered the covid vaccine to 650 people. 80% of the people were adults. How many of the vaccinated people were children?
Answer:
Since 80% of the people were adults, this means 100% - 80% = 20 % were children. 20% of the people vaccinated were children. The number of children is 20% of 650. 20% = 0.2, so 0.2 * 650 = 130 children were vaccinated. The answer is 130.
