Question: Harold's fancy wrapping paper can wrap 5 shirt boxes or 3 XL boxes. For the upcoming holiday, he has 20 shirt boxes to wrap and 12 XL boxes to wrap. If each roll of wrapping paper costs $4.00 per roll, how much will he spend to wrap all of the boxes?
Answer: 1 roll can wrap 5 shirt boxes and he has 20 shirts boxes to wrap so he needs 20 / 5 = 4 rolls of wrap. 1 roll can wrap 3 XL boxes and he has 12 XL boxes to wrap so he needs 12 / 3 = 4 rolls or wrap. All total he needs 4 + 4 = 8 rolls of wrap. Each roll costs $4.00 and he needs 8 rolls so it will cost him 4 * 8 = $32.00 in wrapping paper. The answer is 32.

Q: There are 13 3-year-olds, 20 4-year-olds, 15 5-year-olds, and 22 six-year-olds at a particular Sunday school. If the 3 and 4-year-olds are in one class and the 5 and 6-year-olds are in another class, what is the average class size?
A: First find the total number of 3 - and 4 - year - olds: 13 kids + 20 kids = 33 kids. Then find the total number of 5 - and 6 - year - olds: 15 kids + 22 kids = 37 kids. Then add the two class sizes: 33 kids + 37 kids = 70 kids. Then divide the number of kids by the number of classes to find the average class size: 70 kids / 2 classes = 35 kids / class. The answer is 35.
Question: John's car gets 30 mpg. He drives 20 miles to work each way 5 days a week. He also drives another 40 miles a week for leisure travel. How many gallons of gas does he use a week?
Answer: He drives 20 * 2 = 40 miles per day for work. So he drives 40 * 5 = 200 miles for work. So he drives a total of 200 + 40 = 240 miles per week. That means he uses 240 / 30 = 8 gallons of gas a week. The answer is 8.
[Question]A radio show plays for 3 hours a day. They split their show into talking segments, ad breaks and songs. Talking segments last 10 minutes each, ad breaks last 5 minutes each and songs are played throughout the rest of the show. If the radio show includes 3 talking segments and 5 ad breaks in today's show, how long, in minutes, does the show play songs?
[Answer]The entire radio show plays for 3 hours * 60 minutes = 180 minutes. The talking segments use 3 talking segments * 10 minutes per talking segment = 30 minutes each. The ad breaks use 5 ad breaks * 5 minutes per ad break = 25 minutes. In total, the talking segments and ad breaks use 30 + 25 = 55 minutes. This leaves 180 55 = 125 minutes for the radio show to play songs. The answer is 125.
[Question]Dr. Banks had 330 toothbrushes to give away to his patients. He gave away 53 toothbrushes in January. He gave away 67 toothbrushes in February. In March he gave away 46 toothbrushes. In April and May, he gave away the remaining toothbrushes, half each month. How many more toothbrushes did Dr. Banks give out in the busiest month versus the slowest month?
[Answer]
Through March, Dr. Banks gave out 53 + 67 + 46 = 166 toothbrushes. Before giving away toothbrushes in April, he had 330 - 166 = 164 toothbrushes remaining. Between April and May, he gave out the remaining 164 / 2 = 82 toothbrushes each month. Dr. Banks gave 82 toothbrushes in his busiest month and 46 toothbrushes during the slowest month. The difference would be 82 - 46 = 36 more toothbrushes in the busiest month. The answer is 36.
