Question: The Eat "N Go Mobile Sausage Sandwich Shop specializes in the sale of spicy sausage sandwiches served on a toasted bun. Each sausage sandwich comes with four strips of jalapeno pepper, one sausage patty, and a tablespoon of Stephen's famous special sauce. If a single jalapeno pepper makes 8 slices, and the Sandwich Shop serves a sandwich every 5 minutes, how many jalapeno peppers are required by the Sandwich Shop to serve all customers during an 8-hour day?
Answer: If each sandwich comes with 4 strips of pepper, and each pepper makes 8 slices, then each sandwich uses 4 / 8 = 0.5 pepper. If the Sandwich Shop serves a sandwich every 5 minutes, then per hour the Shop serves 60 / 5 = 12 sandwiches. Thus, per hour, the Shop uses 12 * 0.5 = 6 jalapeno peppers. And in an 8 - hour day, the Sandwich Shop uses 8 * 6 = 48 jalapeno peppers. The answer is 48.

Question: James was 2/3s as tall as his uncle who is 72 inches. He gets a growth spurt that makes him gain 10 inches. How much taller is his uncle than James now?
Answer: He was 72 * 2 / 3 = 48 inches tall before. He is now 48 + 10 = 58 inches. So his uncle is 72 - 58 = 14 inches taller. The answer is 14.

Question: Mr. Isaac rides his bicycle at the rate of 10 miles per hour for 30 minutes. If he rides for another 15 miles, rests for 30 minutes, and then covers the remaining distance of 20 miles, what's the total time in minutes took to travel the whole journey?
Answer: If in one hour he covers 10 miles and rides for 15 miles at the rate of 10 miles per hour, then the time taken for the 15 miles will be 15 / 10 = 1.5 hours. The time in minutes is 1.5 * 60 = 90 minutes. The time taken for the remaining 20 miles at a rate of 10 miles per hour is 20 / 10 = 2 hours. The time in minutes is 2 * 60 = 120 minutes. The total time taken for the whole journey is the first 30 minutes + 90 + 30 minutes for resting + 120 minutes = 270 minutes. The answer is 270.

Question: Jimmy and Irene go shopping for clothes on a Tuesday, where senior citizens get a 10% discount on their purchases. Jimmy picks out 3 shorts from the $15 rack. Irene grabs 5 shirts from the $17 rack. How much money do they give to the cashier?
Answer:
Jimmy's shorts cost 3 x $15 = $45. Irene's shirts cost 5 x $17 = $85. Total cost for the clothes is $45 + $85 = $130. 10% discount on the clothes is $130 x 10% = $13. They give the cashier $130 - $13 = $117. The answer is 117.
