Answer the following question.
Josie's mom gave her a $20 bill and asked her to go to the store for a few items. The list included a carton of milk for $4.00, a loaf of bread for $3.50, a box of laundry detergent for $10.25 and 2 pounds of bananas that were $0.75 per pound. Her mom also gave her a coupon for $1.25 off of the laundry detergent. At checkout, the clerk told her the milk was 1/2 off today. How much money did Josie have left over after she bought all of the groceries?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The milk cost $4.00 but was on sale for 1 / 2 off so 4 * .50 = $2.00. She bought 2 pounds of bananas at $0.75 per pound so 2 * .75 = $1.50. She had a $1.25 coupon off of laundry detergent so 10.25 - 1.25 = $9.00. When you add all of her purchases together then 2 + 1.50 + 3.50 + 9.00 = $16.00. She paid with a $20 bill so 20 - 16 = $4 left over.
The answer is 4.

Answer the following question.
Zoe goes to the store to buy soda and pizza for herself and her 5 family members. Each bottle of soda costs half a dollar and each slice of pizza costs $1. Before she leaves her house she takes just enough money to pay for her purchase. How much money did Zoe take?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Zoe is going to buy pizza and soda for 5 people + 1 person = 6 people. For 6 sodas, Zoe will pay 6 sodas * $0.5 / soda = $3. For 6 slices of pizza, she will pay 6 slices * $1 / slice = $6. Adding the price of the soda and pizza, Zoe paid $3 + $6 = $9.
The answer is 9.

Answer the following question.
Jeremy bought a computer for $3000, and some accessories for 10% of the price of the computer. How much money has Jeremy if, before the purchase, he had two times more money, than the cost of the computer itself?
Step-by-step reasoning process: At the start, Jeremy had two times more money than the price of the computer, which means he had 2 * 3000 = $6000. The cost of the accessories stands at 3000 * 1 / 10 = $300. This leaves Jeremy with 6000 - 3000 - 300 = $2700.
The answer is 2700.

Answer the following question.
Mike is building a bridge out of LEGO blocks. To be successful he needs at least 40 bricks of type A, and half that many of type B. In total, he needs to use 150 bricks. How many bricks of other types than mentioned is he going to use?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mike is using 40 blocks / 2 = 20 blocks of type B. He uses in total 40 blocks + 20 blocks = 60 blocks of type A and B. So he is going to use 150 blocks - 60 blocks = 90 blocks of other types.
The answer is 90.
