Question: Jack is mad at his neighbors for blasting Taylor Swift all night, so he slashes three of their tires and smashes their front window. If the tires cost $250 each and the window costs $700, how much will Jack have to pay for the damages?
Answer: First find the total cost of the tires: $250 / tire * 3 tires = $750. Then add that amount to the cost of the window to find the total cost: $700 + $750 = $1450. The answer is 1450.

Question: An apartment complex has 4 identical buildings. Each building has 10 studio apartments, 20 2 person apartments, and 5 4 person apartments. How many people live in the apartment complex if it has 75% of its maximum occupancy?
Answer: First, we find out how many people live in each building. In addition to 10 1 person apartments, as a studio apartment is for a single person, there are 20 2 person apartments meaning there are 20 * 2 = 40 people capable of living there. We then find out how many people can live in the 4 person apartments by multiplying the number of available 4 person apartments by 4, performing 5 * 4 = 20 people capable of living there. So, in 1 building there is room for 10 + 40 + 20 = 70 people. We multiply this by the 4 buildings in total, finding a maximum occupancy of 4 * 70 = 280 people. We then multiply this by .75 to find out how many people would live there at 75% of maximum occupancy, performing 280 * .75 = 210 people. The answer is 210.

Question: A salon has the same amount of customers every day. Each customer needs 1 can of hairspray during the styling and is also given 1 can of hairspray to take home. The salon also buys an extra 5 cans of hairspray each day to ensure there is never a shortage. If the salon buys 33 cans of hairspray every day, how many customers do they have each day?
Answer:
Removing the surplus hairspray shows the salon needs 33 total cans of hairspray 5 surplus cans of hairspray = 28 cans of hairspray for each customer. Each customer needs 1 can of hairspray for styling + 1 can of hairspray to take home = 2 cans of hairspray. So the salon has a total of 28 cans of hairspray / 2 cans of hairspray per customer = 14 customers. The answer is 14.
