An electronic shop offers smartphones for $300 each, personal computers for $500 more than smartphones, and advanced tablets for the sum of the prices of a smartphone and personal computer. How much do you have to pay to buy one of each of the three mentioned products? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The price of a personal computer is $300 + $500 = $800. The price of an advanced tablet would be $300 + $800 = $1100. To buy each of these products, you would have to pay $300 + $800 + $1100 = $2200.. The answer is: 2200.

The gummy bear factory manufactures 300 gummy bears a minute. Each packet of gummy bears has 50 gummy bears inside. How long would it take for the factory to manufacture enough gummy bears to fill 240 packets, in minutes? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. The factory creates 300 gummy bears a minute, which means it produces 300 / 50 = 6 packets of gummy bears per minute. It would take 240 / 6 = 40 minutes to manufacture enough gummy bears to fill 240 packets.. The answer is: 40.

Jasper will serve charcuterie at his dinner party. He buys 2 pounds of cheddar cheese for $10, a pound of cream cheese that cost half the price of the cheddar cheese, and a pack of cold cuts that cost twice the price of the cheddar cheese. How much does he spend on the ingredients? Give the rationale and then the answer.
Let's think step by step. A pound of cream cheese cost $10 / 2 = $5. A pack of cold cuts cost $10 x 2 = $20. Jasper spent $10 + $5 + $20 = $35 on the ingredients.. The answer is: 35.
