Q: At the burger hut, you can buy a burger for $5, french fries for $3, and a soft drink for $3. If you order a special burger meal, you get all 3 of these food items for $9.50. A kid's burger is $3, a kid's french fries are $2, and a kid's juice box is $2. They also have a kids meal of all 3 kids' food items for $5. Mr. Parker buys 2 burger meals for his wife and himself. He also buys 2 burger meals and 2 kid's meals for his 4 children. How much money does Mr. Parker save by buying the 6 meals versus buying the individual food items?
A: To buy regular food items individually, they cost $5 + $3 + $3 = $11. To buy kids food items individually, they cost $3 + $2 + $2 = $7. If you buy the special burger meal, you save $11 - $9.50 = $1.50. If you buy the kid's meal, you save $7 - $5 = $2. Mr. Parker buys 4 special burger meals, bringing his discount to 4 x $1.50 = $6. He buys 2 kid's meals, bringing his discount to 2 x $2 = $4. The total savings for Mr. Parker is $6 + $4 = $10. The answer is 10.
Question: A 10 meters yarn was cut into 5 equal parts. If 3 parts were used for crocheting, how long was used for crocheting?

[Question]A group of 300 athletes spent Saturday night at Ultimate Fitness Camp. The next morning, for 4 hours straight, they left the camp at a rate of 28 athletes per hour. Over the next 7 hours, a new group of athletes trickled into the camp at a rate of 15 athletes per hour. Immediately thereafter, the camp gate was shut and everyone went to bed. What is the difference in the total number of athletes in the camp over the two nights?
[Answer]The number that left the camp on Saturday morning was 4 * 28 = 112 athletes. This means that in the camp there remained 300 - 112 = 188 athletes. The new group trickling in on Sunday morning comprised 7 * 15 = 105 athletes. The number that slept at the camp on Sunday night is therefore 188 + 105 = 293 athletes. Since there were 300 athletes on Saturday night, the difference is 300 - 293 = 7 athletes. The answer is 7.
Q: Kevin is a fruit vendor. He always sells a total of 50 crates of fruit per week. Last week he sold 13 crates of grapes, 20 crates of mangoes, and the rest were passion fruits. How many passion fruit crates did he sell?
A: Between grapes and mangoes, we have 13 + 20 = 33 crates. The remaining crates are passion fruits, so we have 50 - 33 = 17 crates of passion fruit. The answer is 17.
Question: Mia has 4 times as many shells as David. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia. Alice has half the number of shells Ava has. If David has 15 shells, what the total number of conch shells they all have?
Answer: If David has 15 shells, then Mia has 4 * 15 = 60 shells. Ava has 20 more shells than Mia, so that is 60 + 20 = 80 shells. Alice has 1 / 2 the number of shells Ava has, which is 1 / 2 * 80 = 40 shells. The total number of shells all of them have is 15 + 60 + 80 + 40 = 195 shells. The answer is 195.
