Q: Kendra wants enough shirts that she only has to do laundry once every two weeks. She wears one shirt to school for each of the five weekdays. Three days a week, she changes into a different shirt for an after-school club. On Saturday, she wears one shirt all day. On Sunday, she wears a different shirt to church than she does for the rest of the day. How many shirts does she need to be able to only do laundry once every two weeks?
A: Kendra wears 1 * 5 = 5 shirts for school days. She wears 1 * 3 = 3 extra shirts for her after - school club. She wears 1 + 1 = 2 shirts on Sunday. With her shirt on Saturday, she wears 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 11 shirts each week. She wants to have 2 weeks' worth of shirts, so she needs 11 * 2 = 22 shirts. The answer is 22.

[Question]Jack leaves his bathtub's faucet dripping at a rate of 40 ml/minute. Water evaporates from the bathtub at a rate of 200 ml/hour. If he leaves the water running for 9 hours, then dumps out 12 liters, how many milliliters of water are left in the bathtub?
[Answer]First find how much water fills the bathtub per hour: 40 ml / minute * 60 minutes / hour = 2400 ml / hour. Then subtract the water that evaporates to find the total amount of water added per hour: 2400 ml / hour - 200 ml / hour = 2200 ml / hour. Then multiply that amount by the number of hours to find the total amount of water in the tub: 2200 ml / hour * 9 hours = 19800 ml. Then find the number of milliliters in 12 liters: 12 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 12000 ml. Then subtract the water Jack removes from the total amount of water to find the remaining amount of water: 19800 ml - 12000 ml = 7800 ml. The answer is 7800.

A: Medication:5000(.50) = 2500. Overnight Stays:2500(.25) = 625. 2500 - 625 = 1875. Food:1875 - 175 = 1700$. Ambulance ride:1700$. The answer is 1700.
