Q: A department store offers a 10% discount for the amount exceeding $100 of the customer's total charge. Jaco bought a pair of shoes for $74; 2 pairs of socks that cost $2 per pair; a bag that costs $42. How much will Jaco pay for those items?
A: Two pairs of socks cost $2 x 2 = $4. Jaco's total charge is $74 + $4 + $42 = $120. The amount that exceeds $100 is $120 - $100 = $20. So, Jaco has $20 x 10 / 100 = $2 discount. Therefore, Jaco will pay $120 - $2 = $118 for those items. The answer is 118.
Question: Emily makes $1,000,000 per year. If she has 10 employees who make $20,000 per year, how much would her salary be if she took part of her salary to make sure all of her employees make $35,000 per year.
Answer: Each employee needs $35,000 - $20,000 = $15,000 more per year. In total, Emily needs to pay $15,000 * 10 = $150,000 extra. Emily will need to have a new salary of $1,000,000 - $150,000 = $850,000 per year. The answer is 850000.

Q: Mrs. Carlton gives out penalty points whenever her students misbehave. They get 5 points for interrupting, 10 points for insulting their classmates, and 25 points for throwing things. If they get 100 points, they have to go to the office. Jerry already interrupted twice and insulted his classmates 4 times. How many times can he throw things before he gets sent to the office?
A: For interrupting, Jerry got 5 points per interruption * 2 interruptions = 10 points. For insulting, he got 10 points per insult * 4 insults = 40 points. To get to the 100 limit points, Jerry has 100 points - 10 points - 40 points = 50 points left. He still has 50 points / 25 points per throw = 2 throws. The answer is 2.
