Q: Jay & Gloria were hosting a 4th of July party at their house. Jay invited 22 people and Gloria invited 36. They wanted to buy small American flags for everyone. The craft store was having a sale on small flags, 5 flags for $1.00. If they wanted all of their guests to have a flag and they also wanted 1 flag each, how much would they spend at the craft store?
A: Jay invited 22 guests and Gloria invited 36 so they invited 22 + 36 = 58 guests. They also each wanted a flag so in total they would need 1 + 1 + 58 = 60 flags. The craft store has them on sale at 5 for $1.00 and they need 60 flags so the flags will cost them 60 / 5 = $12.00. The answer is 12.

[Question]While preparing balloons for Eva's birthday party, her mom bought 50 balloons and 1800cm of helium. One balloon needs 50cm to float high enough to touch the ceiling, and she can fill any remaining balloon with ordinary air. If she used up all of the helium and inflated every balloon, how many more balloons are touching the ceiling than not?
[Answer]50cm will make one balloon touch the ceiling so 1800cm will make 1800 / 50 = 36 balloons touch the ceiling. There are 50 balloons in total so 50 - 36 = 14 balloons will not float since they were filled with ordinary air. There are 36 - 14 = 22 more balloons touching the ceiling than not. The answer is 22.
Q: A baker bought cooking ingredients in the supermarket. She bought 3 boxes of flour that cost $3 each box, 3 trays of eggs that cost $10 for each tray, 7 liters of milk that cost $5 each liter, and 2 boxes of baking soda that cost $3 each box. How much will she have to pay for everything?
A: The total cost for the flour is 3 x $3 = $9. The total cost of the tray of eggs is 3 x $10 = $30. The total cost for the liter of milk is 7 x $5 = $35. The total cost for the box of baking soda is 2 x $3 = $6. Therefore, the total cost for all the ingredients is $9 + $30 + $35 + $6 = $80. The answer is 80.
Question: Wally gives 3/4 of his 400 tickets to his two friends Jensen and Finley, who share the tickets in a ratio of 4:11. How many tickets does Finley get?
Answer: Wally gives his friends 3 / 4 * 400 = 300 tickets to share. The total ratio that represents the tickets that Jensen and Finley share is 4 + 11 = 15. From the total ratio, the fraction that represents the share that Finley got is 11 / 15, and since he shared with Jensen 300 tickets, he got 11 / 15 * 300 = 220 tickets. The answer is 220.
