Q: Ricciana and Margarita joined in their school's long jump event. Ricciana ran and jumped a total of 24 feet - 20 feet for running and 4 feet for jumping. Margarita ran for 18 feet and jumped 1 foot less than twice Ricciana's jump. How much farther did Margarita run and jump than Ricciana?
A: Twice the distance of Ricciana's jump is 4 x 2 = 8 feet. So, Margarita jumped 8 - 1 = 7 feet. Margarita ran and jumped for 18 + 7 = 25 feet in all. So, Margarita ran and jumped 25 - 24 = 1 foott more than Ricciana. The answer is 1.
Question: Savannah is wrapping presents for her friends and family for Christmas. She has bought 3 rolls of wrapping paper to wrap 12 gifts. If it takes 1 roll to wrap 3 gifts and 1 roll to wrap 5 other gifts, if there is no wrapping paper leftover after Savannah wraps the rest of the gifts, how many gifts did she wrap with the third roll of paper?
Answer: Savannah has 12 gifts to give her friends and family and has already wrapped 3 gifts + 5 gifts = 8 gifts already wrapped with the first two rolls of paper. She started off with 12 gifts to wrap and has already wrapped 8, 12 - 8 = 4 gifts she wraps with the third roll of paper. The answer is 4.
[Question]Wally buys bears at the park. A bear is priced at $4.00 for the first bear and a discount of 50 cents per bear is given after that. How much does Wally pay for 101 bears?
[Answer]If the price of an additional bear drops by fifty after the first purchase, the price of each additional bear is $4.00 - $0.50 = $3.50. Since Wally bought 101 bears, he was charged fifty cents less on 101 - 1 = 100 bears. The total cost for the 100 bears is 100 * $3.50 = $350. For the 101 bears, Wally paid a total of $350 + $4 = $354. The answer is 354.
Q: James and Lisa ordered 2 small pizzas. Each pizza has 6 slices. James ate 2/3 of all the slices. How many slices of pizza did James eat?
