Q: Each member of Greg’s softball team needs to buy one uniform made up of a shirt, a pair of pants, and socks. A shirt costs $7.50, a pair of pants cost $15, and socks cost $4.50 each if each team member buys the uniform items on their own. If they buy the items as a group, they are given a discount. A discounted shirt cost $6.75, a discounted pair of pants cost $13.50, and discounted socks cost $3.75. How much would their team of 12 save with the group discount?
A: The cost of a regularly - priced uniform is $7.50 for the shirt + $15 for pants + $4.50 for socks = $27. The cost of a discounted uniform is $6.75 for the shirt + $13.50 for pants + $3.75 for socks = $24. By purchasing the discounted uniform, each team member would save $27 for full price - $24 for discounted = $3. So, for the team of 12, they would save $3 * 12 = $36. The answer is 36.

[Question]Liezl prepared four sets of 2-dozen paper cups for her daughter's birthday party. If 5 cups were damaged and 30 were not used, how many paper cups were used?
[Answer]Since 1 dozen is equal to 12 then 2 dozens of cups is equal to 2 x 12 = 24 cups. So, Liezl prepared a total of 24 cups x 4 sets = 96 paper cups. A total of 5 + 30 = 35 paper cups were not used. Hence, 96 - 35 = 61 paper cups were used. The answer is 61.

Question: In three baseball games this week, eighty people watched the second game while 20 fewer people watched the first game than the second game. Then 15 more people watched the third than the second game. If there were a total of 200 people who watched the games last week, how many more people watched the games this week than last week?
Answer: This week, 80 - 20 = 60 people watched the first game. While 80 + 15 = 95 people watched the third game. A total of 80 + 60 + 95 = 235 people watched the games this week. Thus, 235 - 200 = 35 more people watched the games this week than last week. The answer is 35.
Q: Once a week, it takes Kitty 5 minutes to pick up toys and straighten the living room. It takes another 20 minutes to vacuum the living room floor, seating and drapes. She spends 15 minutes cleaning the windows and 10 minutes dusting the furniture. After 4 weeks, how long has Kitty spent cleaning just the living room?
A:
5 minutes for picking up toys, 20 minutes to vacuum, 15 minutes on windows and 10 minutes on furniture is 5 + 20 + 15 + 10 = 50 minutes. After 4 weeks, she has spent 4 weeks * 50 minutes / week = 200 minutes cleaning the living room. The answer is 200.
