Reasoning and answer: For the buns, Frank paid 10 * 0.1 = $1. He bought two bottles of milk, for $2 each, so he paid for them 2 * 2 = $4. One carton of eggs was three times more expensive than one bottle of milk, so it cost 3 * 2 = $6. So for all his shopping Frank had to pay 1 + 4 + 6 = $11.
The answer: 11
What was the question?

He ate 2 * 3 = 6 ounces of cheez its. That means he ate 6 * 150 = 900 calories. He burned 40 * 12 = 480 calories. So he ate an excess of 900 - 480 = 420 calories.
The answer: 420

Reasoning and answer: Four trays have 4 x 25 = 100 gingerbreads. And three trays have 3 x 20 = 60 gingerbreads. Therefore, Diane bakes 100 + 60 = 160 gingerbreads.
The answer: 160

He will write for 120 hours because 2 x 60 = 120. He will write for 24 units of five minutes each because 120 / 5 = 24. He can write 600 words because 24 x 25 = 600. He can earn $6 because 600 x .01 = 6.
The answer: 6
