Question: Five adults and two children go to see a movie and buy $12 worth of concessions. The total cost of their trip is $76. If each child's ticket is $7, how much, in dollars, are the adult tickets?
Answer: First take out the cost of the concessions. That leaves $76 - $12 = $64 for the movie tickets. Each child ticket costs $7, so two children's tickets cost $7 per child ticket * 2 child tickets = $14. To find the amount spent on adult tickets, subtract the cost of the children's tickets to get $64 - $14 = $50 for adult tickets. Divide $50 for adult tickets / 5 adults = $10 per adult ticket. The answer is 10.

Q: Jack has a grove with 4 trees by 5 trees. It takes 6 minutes to clean each tree. He gets help to clean the trees so it only takes half as long. How many hours did he spend cleaning trees?
A: There were 4 * 5 = 20 trees to clean. So it took 20 * 6 = 120 minutes. That is 120 / 60 = 2 hours. So he spent 2 / 2 = 1 hour cleaning. The answer is 1.
Question: Simon has 20% more legos than Bruce, who has 20 more than Kent. If Kent has 40 legos, how many does Simon have?
Answer: Bruce has 20 more legos than Kent who has 40 so Bruce has 20 + 40 = 60 legos. Simon has 20% more legos than Bruce who has 60 legos so that's .20 * 60 = 12 more legos. 20% more is 12 legos and Bruce has 60 so Simon has 12 + 60 = 72 legos. The answer is 72.
