Q: Shara borrowed money from her brother 6 months ago. She returned $10 per month to her brother. Currently, she was able to return half of the money she borrowed. How much will she still owe her brother 4 months from now?
A: For 6 months, Shara was able to return $10 x 6 = $60 to her brother. Since she already returned half of the money, then this means she currently owes her brother $60. Four months from now, she will be able to pay an additional $10 x 4 = $40. Thus, she will still owe her brother $60 - $40 = $20 four months from now. The answer is 20.
Question: Wendy went to the dentist for a cleaning, two fillings, and a tooth extraction. The dentist charges $70 for a cleaning and $120 for a filling. Wendy's dentist bill was five times the cost of a filling. What did Wendy pay for the tooth extraction?
Answer: Wendy's dentist bill was 5 * $120 = $600. She got two fillings at a cost of 2 * $120 = $240. Thus, Wendy paid $600 - $240 - $70 = $290 for the tooth extraction. The answer is 290.

Q: Zach was a waiter in a fancy restaurant. His last table for the night was a party for 4 people. The mom ordered lobster for $25.50, the dad ordered steak for $35.00 their twin boys both ordered a cheeseburger and fries for $13.50 each. They started their meal with an appetizer that cost 8.50. Everyone also ordered a dessert that cost $6.00 each. They wanted to give a 20% tip for Zach on the bill. What did the final bill total come to?
A: The twins ordered a cheeseburger each so 2 * 13.50 = $27.00 for both cheeseburgers. Everyone ordered a dessert so 4 * 6 = $24.00 for dessert. When you add all the meals together they spent 25.50 + 35.00 + 27.00 + 8.50 + 24.00 = $120.00. Zach's tip was 20% so .20 * 120.00 = $24.00. When you add up the meals $120.00 and Zach's tip of $24.00 then the total cost is 120.00 + 24.00 = $144.00. The answer is 144.
