Question: James won a money prize at a charity raffle. He donated half of his winnings back to the charity, then spent $2 on a hot dog to celebrate his win. He had $55 left over. How many dollars did he win?
Answer: Let W be equal to James's raffle winnings. He donated half his winnings, so he had W - W / 2 = W / 2 left. He then spent $2 on a hot dog, so W / 2 - 2 = $55. Thus, half his winnings is W / 2 = 55 + 2 = 57. James won W = 57 * 2 = $114. The answer is 114.

Q: James decides to make a bathtub full of jello. For every pound of water, you need 1.5 tablespoons of jello mix. The bathtub can hold 6 cubic feet of water. Each cubic foot of water is 7.5 gallons.

A: The tub has 6 * 7.5 = 45 gallons. That would weigh 45 * 8 = 360 pounds. So he needs 360 * 1.5 = 540 tablespoons of jello mix. So he spent 540 * .5 = $270. The answer is 270.
