Answer this question:Reggie and his brother are having a basketball shooting contest. They each get to take 10 shots. Layups are worth 1 point, free throws are worth 2 points, and anything further away is worth 3 points. Reggie makes 3 layups, two free throws, and one long shot. His brother only shoots long shots and makes 4 of them. How many points does Reggie lose by?
Reggie makes 3 points off layups because 3 x 1 = 3. Reggie makes 4 points off free - throws because 2 x 2 = 4. Reggie makes 3 points off long shots because 1 x 3 = 3. Reggie scores 10 points because 3 + 4 + 3 = 10. His brother scores 12 points because 4 x 3 = 12. Reggie loses by 2 because 12 - 10 = 2.
The answer is 2.

Answer this question:There is 80 mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee. Lisa does not want to drink more than 200 mg of caffeine per day. If she drinks three cups of coffee, how many milligrams of coffee did Lisa drink over her goal?
Lisa drinks 80 * 3 = 240 mg of caffeine in 3 cups of coffee. She wanted to have 200, so she is 40 mg over her goal because 240 - 200 = 40mg.
The answer is 40.

Answer this question:Bryan bought three different bottles of milk. The bottles contain the following volumes of milk: 2 liters, 750 milliliters, 250 milliliters. How many liters of milk did Bryan buy in total?
Bryan bought a total of 750 + 250 = 1000 milliliters of milk from the two smaller bottles. Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, then 1000 milliliters is equal to 1000 / 1000 = 1 liter. Therefore, Bryan bought a total of 2 + 1 = 3 liters of milk.
The answer is 3.

Answer this question:Building one birdhouse requires 7 planks and 20 nails. If 1 nail costs $0.05, and one plank costs $3, what is the cost, in dollars, to build 4 birdhouses?
The cost of the planks for one birdhouse is 7 * 3 = $21. And the nails are a cost of 20 * 0.05 = $1 for each birdhouse. So to build one birdhouse one will need 21 + 1 = $22. So the cost of building 4 birdhouses is at 4 * 22 = $88.
The answer is 88.
