Q: Maria found a store that sells handmade sweaters for $30 and a handmade scarf for $20. She wants to buy one for everyone in her family. She will buy 6 sweaters and 6 scarves. If she has saved $500, how much will be left in her savings after buying all these?
A: Six sweaters amount to $30 x 6 = $180. Six scarfs amount to $20 x 6 = $120. So, Maria will pay a total of $180 + $120 = $300. Thus, she will be left with $500 - $300 = $200 in her savings. The answer is 200.
Question: A Moroccan restaurant received 3 different shipments of couscous. The first two shipments of 7 and 13 pounds arrived on the same day. The next day's shipment was 45 pounds of couscous. If it takes 5 pounds of couscous to make a dish, how many dishes did the restaurant make?
Answer: The first two shipments of couscous added up to 7 + 13 = 20 pounds. Adding that weight to the next day's shipment results in a total weight of 20 + 45 = 65 pounds. Since each dish takes 5 pounds, then the restaurant makes 65 / 5 = 13 dishes. The answer is 13.

Q: A plane takes off at 6:00 a.m. and flies for 4 hours from New York City to Chicago. The plane stays at the port in Chicago for 1 hour and then departs for Miami. If the aircraft took three times as many hours to fly to Miami than it took to fly from New York to Chicago, calculate the total time to travel from New York to Miami.
A: Before departing for Miami from Chicago, the total time the plane had taken for the journey is 4 + 1 = 5 hours. It took 3 * 4 = 12 hours to fly to Miami. . The total flying time from New York to Miami is 12 + 5 = 17 hours. The answer is 17.
Question: Joel collected a bin of old toys to donate. By asking his friends, he was able to collect 18 stuffed animals, 42 action figures, 2 board games, and 13 puzzles. His sister gave him some of her old toys from her closet, and then Joel added twice as many toys from his own closet as his sister did from hers. In all, Joel was able to donate 108 toys. How many of the donated toys were Joel's?
Answer: Let T be the number of toys Joel's sister donated. Joel donated twice as many toys, so he donated 2T toys. Joel's friends donated 18 + 42 + 2 + 13 = 75 toys. In all, Joel collected T + 2T + 75 = 3T + 75 = 108 toys. Joel and his sister donated 3T = 108 - 75 = 33 toys together. Therefore, T = 33 / 3 = 11 toys were his sister's. Thus, 2T = 2 * 11 = 22 toys were Joel's. The answer is 22.
