Q: Milo's parents tell him that he can win cash rewards for good grades. He will get $5 times the average grade he gets. He gets three 2s, four 3s, a 4, and a 5. How much cash does he get?
A: His total score is 27 because (3 x 2) + (4 x 3) + 4 + 5 = 27. His total number of grades is 9 because 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9. His average grade is a 3 because 27 / 9 = 3. He earns $15 because 5 x 3 = 15. The answer is 15.
Question: Connor wanted to order some new books to read. The website was offering free shipping over $50.00. They also had a deal that when you buy 4 books; the first two were 25% off. Book 1 cost 13.00 and Book 2 cost 15.00. Book 3 & 4 were both $10.00 each. How much more money did Connor need to spend to receive free shipping?
Answer: Book 1 was $12.50 and book 2 was $15.00 so 13.00 + 15.00 = $28.00. He was buying 4 books, so these 2 were 25% off so 28.00 * .25 = $7.00. These two books came out to 28 - 7 = $21.00. Books 3 & 4 were both $10 each so 2 * 10 = $20.00. When you add all 4 books together, 21 + 20 = $41.00. To get free shipping he would need to spend 50 - 41 = $9.00 more on books. The answer is 9.

Question: Jack needs to put his shoes on, then help both his toddlers tie their shoes. If it takes Jack 4 minutes to put his shoes on, and three minutes longer to help each toddler with their shoes, how long does it take them to get ready?
Answer: First figure out how long it takes to help one toddler: 4 minutes + 3 minutes = 7 minutes. Then multiply the time per toddler by the number of toddlers: 7 minutes / toddler * 2 toddlers = 14 minutes. Now add the time spent helping the toddlers to the time Jack spends on his own shoes: 14 minutes + 4 minutes = 18 minutes. The answer is 18.
