[Answer]Five cupcakes cost 5 x $2 = $10. Six doughnuts cost 6 x $1 = $6. Four slices of apple pie cost 4 x $2 = $8. And, fifteen cookies cost 15 x $0.60 = $9. Therefore, Sophie spends $10 + $6 + $8 + $ 9 = $33. The answer is 33.
Q: It costs $.10 to print one page. Jenny wants to print 7 copies of her 25-page essay. She also wants to buy 7 pens that each cost $1.50. If she pays the store with 2 twenty dollar bills, how much money should she get in change?
A: Jenny needs to print 7 * 25 = 175 pages. This will cost 175 * $.10 = $17.5. The pens will cost 7 * $1.50 = $10.50. In total, she will spend $17.5 + $10.5 = $28. Since she pays with 2 twenty dollar bills she pays with 2 * 20 = 40 dollars. Thus, she will get $40 - $28 = $12 in change. The answer is 12.
Question: Mark was caught speeding and the judge wants to make an example out of him. The base fine for speeding is $50 but additional penalties apply in this case. The fine is increased by $2 for every mile per hour Mark was going over the speed limit. He was going 75 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone. The fine is also doubled because he was in a school zone. Finally, the judge makes Mark pay $300 in court costs and he also has to pay his lawyer $80/hour for three hours of work. How much does Mark owe for this speeding ticket?
Answer: First figure out how many miles over the speed limit Mark was going: 75 mph - 30 mph = 45 mph. Now figure out how much the per - mile fine is: $2 / mph * 45 mph = $90. Now add that amount to the base fine: $90 + $50 = $140. Now double that amount for being in a school zone: $140 * 2 = $280. Now figure out how much Mark owes his lawyer: $80 / hour * 3 hours = $240. Now add the court costs, lawyer fees and fine: $240 + $300 + $280 = $820. The answer is 820.
[Question]Lana and her friends go to a theater on the weekend to watch a new play Joan told them was live. When they arrived, Lana saw 100 cars in the front parking lot. She saw two times more vehicles at the back than there were in the front parking lot. If the total number of cars at the end of the play was 700, how many more cars packed into the parking lot during the play?
[Answer]The number of cars in the back parking lot was 100 * 2 = 200 times more than those in the front parking lot. There were 200 + 100 = 300 cars in the back parking lot. A total of 300 + 100 = 400 cars were present before the play began. The total number of cars that parked in the theater during the play is 700 - 400 = 300 cars. The answer is 300.
