[Question]Three friends went out to watch a movie. Mitch paid for their tickets at $7 each. On the other hand, Jam paid for the 2 boxes of popcorn at $1.5 while Jay paid for the 3 cups of milk tea at $3 each. If the three of them will split the total expenses, how much should each contribute?
[Answer]Three tickets cost $7 x 3 = $21. Two boxes of popcorn cost $1.5 x 2 = $3. Three cups of milk tea cost $3 x 3 = $9. The total expenses for the their tickets and food are $21 + $3 + $9 = $33. So, each of them should contribute $33 / 3 = $11. The answer is 11.
Q: Mitch is baking a cake and needs 3 cups of flour and two cups of sugar. He doesn't have a one cup scoop, only a 1/3 cup scoop. How many total scoops will he need?
A: He needs 9 scoops of flour because 3 / (1 / 3) = 9. He needs 6 scoops of sugar because 2 / (1 / 3) = 6. He needs 15 total scoops because 9 + 6 = 15. The answer is 15.
Question: Amanda has taken 4 quizzes this semester and averaged a 92% score on them. The final quiz is coming up, which is worth the same as each previous quiz. What score does she need in order to get an A in the class, which requires her to average 93% over the 5 quizzes?
Answer: Amanda's total number of points from the first 4 quizzes is 368 because 4 x 92 = 368. She needs a total of 465 points because 5 x 93 = 465. She needs to score a 97 on the final quiz because 465 - 368 = 97. The answer is 97.

Q: Kristy baked cookies because her friends are coming over to her house. She ate 2 of them and gave her brother 1 cookie. Her first friend arrived and took 3 cookies. The second and third friends to arrive took 5 cookies each. If there are 6 cookies left, how many cookies did Kristy bake?
A: There were 6 + 5 = 11 cookies left before the third friend took 5. There were 11 + 5 = 16 cookies left before the second friend took 5. There were 16 + 3 = 19 cookies left before the first friend took 3. There were 19 + 1 = 20 cookies left before Kristy gave 1 cookie to her brother. There were 20 + 2 = 22 cookies that Kristy baked.
