Question: Jenny decided to get a cat with her girlfriend. They agreed to split all the costs down the middle except for they would each buy their own toys for the cat. The adoption fee was $50, the vet visits cost $500 for the first year and the monthly cost of food was $25. She bought $200 in toys. How much did Jenny spend on the cat in the first year?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The total cost for food was 25 * 12 = $300. So their shared expenses were 300 + 50 + 500 = $850. So Jenny spent 850 / 2 = $425 on shared expenses. So the total cost she paid was 425 + 200 = $625.
So the answer is 625.

Question: The total cost of Olivia's groceries was $42. The bananas cost her $12, the bread cost her $9, and the milk cost her $7. The only other groceries she bought were apples. In dollars, how much money did the apples cost her?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: The combined cost of the bananas, bread, and milk was 12 + 9 + 7 = $28. The difference between this and the total is the cost of the apples, which must have therefore cost Olivia 42 28 = $14.
So the answer is 14.

Question: If a tarantula has eight legs, and one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, how many baby tarantula legs would be in one less than 5 egg sacs?
Answer with step-by-step thinking:
One less than 5 is 5 - 1 = 4. If one tarantula egg sac can contain 1000 tarantulas, then four egg sacs can hold 4 * 1000 = 4000 tarantula babies. If each tarantula baby has eight legs, the 4 egg sacs can contain 4000 * 8 = 32,000 baby tarantula legs.
So the answer is 32000.
