[Question]Peter carried $500 to the market. He bought 6 kilos of potatoes for $2 per kilo, 9 kilos of tomato for $3 per kilo, 5 kilos of cucumbers for $4 per kilo, and 3 kilos of bananas for $5 per kilo. How much is Peter's remaining money?
[Answer]The price of potatoes is 6 * 2 = $12. The price of tomatoes is 9 * 3 = $27. The price of cucumbers is 5 * 4 = $20. The price of bananas is 3 * 5 = $15. The total price Peter spent is 12 + 27 + 20 + 15 = $74. The amount left with Peter is $500 - $74 = $426. The answer is 426.
Q: Nancy bought a pie sliced it into 8 pieces. She gave 1/2 to Joe and Darcy, and she gave 1/4 to Carl. How many slices were left?
A: The total number of slices she gave to Joe and Darcy is 1 / 2 x 8 = 4. The total slice she gave to Carl is 1 / 4 x 8 = 2. Therefore, the total slices left is 8 - 4 - 2 = 2. The answer is 2.
Question: A 26-mile circular marathon has four checkpoints inside it. The first is one mile from the start line, and the last checkpoint is one mile from the finish line. The checkpoints have equal spacing between them. How many miles apart are each of the consecutive checkpoints between the start-finish line?
Answer: The checkpoints are 1 mile from the start and finish, so they are spaced along 26 - 1 - 1 = 24 miles. There are 4 equally spaced checkpoints, so the checkpoints are 24 / 4 = 6 miles apart. The answer is 6.
[Question]Clementine, Jake, and Tory make cookies for the school bake sale. Clementine baked 72 cookies. Jake baked twice as many cookies as Clementine.
