Q: Pablo likes to put together jigsaw puzzles. He can put together an average of 100 pieces per hour. He has eight puzzles with 300 pieces each and five puzzles with 500 pieces each. If Pablo only works on puzzles for a maximum of 7 hours each day, how many days will it take him to complete all of his puzzles?
A: First find how many pieces are total in each puzzle. 8 puzzles * 300 pieces each = 2400 pieces. Next, 5 puzzles * 500 pieces each = 2500 pieces. All of the puzzles have 2400 pieces + 2500 pieces = 4900 pieces total. He will work a maximum of 7 hours each day * 100 pieces per hour = 700 pieces per day. So he will end up taking 4900 pieces total / 700 pieces per day = 7 days total. The answer is 7.

Q: The Early Bird Dinner offered dinner meals at half off the menu price if you eat between 2-4 pm. Curtis ordered the Salisbury Steak that costs $16.00 and Rob ordered the Chicken Fried Steak at $18.00. If they ate at 3 pm, what was the cost of their total bill?
A: Curtis had the Salisbury steak for $16.00 and Rob had the Chicken Fried Steak at $18.00 so their meal cost 16 + 18 = $34.00. They ate 3 pm so their meal is half off so their meal cost 34 / 2 = $17.00. The answer is 17.
