Question: Marco has $24. Mary has $15. If Marco gives Mary half of what he has, Mary will have more than Marco. But Mary spends $5. How much more money does Mary have than Marco?
Answer: Half of what Marco has is $24 / 2 = $12. If he gives Mary $12, she has $12 + $15 = $27. Now subtract the money Mary spends: $27 - $5 = $22. Now subtract Marco's money from Mary's remaining money, $22 - $12 = $10. The answer is 10.
[Question]Louis is making himself a velvet suit for a formal event. The velvet fabric he chose was $24 per yard. He bought a pattern for $15, and two spools of silver thread for $3 each. If he spent $141 for the pattern, thread, and fabric, how many yards of fabric did he buy?
[Answer]Let V be the number of yards of velvet fabric Louis bought. The silver thread cost 2 * 3 = $6. He spent 24V + 15 + 6 = $141 on the suit. The fabric cost 24V = 141 - 15 - 6 = $120. Thus, Louis bought V = 120 / 24 = 5 yards of fabric. The answer is 5.
