Question: Ralph has $54.00 worth of products in his cart. At the register, he asks if he could have a 20% discount on an item with a small issue. This item is $20.00 to start. They agree. Ralph also has a 10% coupon on his purchase, which he uses after the 20% discount on the item with the small issue. How much will all of his items cost?
Answer: They approved 20% off of the $20.00 item so .20 * 20 = $4.00. The item has a $4.00 discount which can be applied from his final total of $54.00 so 54 - 4 = $50.00. Now he can use his 10% coupon on the $50.00 total so .10 * 50 = $5.00. The total was $50.00 but his $5.00 discount now makes it 50 - 5 = $45.00. The answer is 45.
[Question]It's Meghan's turn to pick up her team's coffee order. She needs 2 drip coffees that are $2.25 each and one double shot espresso that's $3.50. She needs 2 lattes that are $4.00 and needs to add vanilla syrup to one of those for an additional $0.50. She also needs 2 cold brew coffees that are $2.50 each and 1 cappuccino for $3.50. How much is the coffee order?
[Answer]She needs 2 drip coffees that are $2.25 each so 2 * 2.25 = $4.50. She needs 2 lattes that are $4.00 each so 2 * 4 = $8.00. She needs 2 cold brew coffees that are $2.50 each so 2 * 2.50 = $5.00. So the drips are $4.50, lattes are $8.00 plus $0.50 for syrup, cold brew is $5.00, a double shot for $3.50 and a cappuccino for $3.50 for a total of 4.50 + 8.00 + .50 + 5.00 + 3.50 + 3.50 = $25.00. The answer is 25.
Q: Justin needs to read at least 100 pages or more of his book in one week to pass his class. He has read 10 pages already on the first day. Assuming he reads twice the amount of pages as the first day each day in the remaining 6 days, how many pages will he have read after the week is over?
A: 10 pages per day on day 1 * 2 = 20 pages per day for days 2 through 7. 20 * 6 remaining days = 120 pages total from days 2 through 7. 10 pages day 1 + 120 pages days 2 through 7 = 130 total pages read in one week. The answer is 130.

[Question]Daniela goes shopping during a sale. She finds out that the store has 40 percent off on shoes and 20 percent off dresses. If Daniela buys 2 pairs of shoes originally priced at $50 a pair and a dress originally priced at $100, how much money does she spend?
[Answer]
Two pairs of shoes at $50 a pair costs $50 x 2 = $100. The shoes are discounted by 40 percent so she only pays 100 - 40 = 60 percent of the original price. Therefore the two pairs of shoes cost $100 x 0.60 = $60. The dress is discounted by 20 percent so she only pays 100 - 20 = 80 percent of the original price. Therefore the dress costs $100 x 0.80 = $80. In total Daniela spends $60 + $80 = $140 for two pairs of shoes and a dress. The answer is 140.
