[Question]Christina walks 7km to school every day from Monday to Friday. She returns home covering the same distance. Last Friday her mother asked her to pass by her friend, which is another 2km away from the school in the opposite distance from home. How many kilometers did Christina cover that week?
[Answer]One trip to school is 2 * 7 km = 14km. In one week, Christina walks 14 km / day * 5 days / week = 70km to school. The extra trip to her mum's friend added 2 km * 2 = 4km to her travel distance. Her total distance was thus 70 km + 4 km = 74 km. The answer is 74.
Q: Anna wants to plant red and yellow tulips in the shape of a smiley face. She needs 8 red tulips for each eye and 18 red tulips for the smile. If she needs 9 times the number of tulips in the smile to make the yellow background of the face, how many tulips does she need total?
A: First find the total number of tulips in the eyes: 2 eyes * 8 tulips / eye = 16 tulips. Then find the number of tulips in the background: 18 tulips * 9 = 162 tulips. Then add the number of tulips in the eyes, smile, and background to find the total number of tulips: 16 tulips + 162 tulips + 18 tulips = 196 tulips. The answer is 196.

[Question]It takes 15 minutes for Dante to go to Hidden Lake. From Hidden Lake, he has to walk back to the Park Office and it takes him 7 minutes. When he arrives there, he will have been gone from the Park Office 32 minutes altogether. If he had walked to the Lake Park restaurant from the Park office before taking the 15 minute walk to Hidden Lake, how long is the walk from Park Office to the Lake Park restaurant?
[Answer]If it takes 15 minutes for Dante to go to Hidden Lake and 7 minutes to walk back to the Park Office, he spends a total of 15 + 7 = 22 minutes on the trip. When Dante arrives at the Park Office, he will have been gone from the Park Office 32 minutes altogether, and since he passed by the Lake Park restaurant from The Park Office, his walk from Park Office to the Lake Park restaurant took 32 - 22 = 10 minutes. The answer is 10.
[Question]Axel bought an aquarium that was marked down 50% from an original price of $120. But he also paid additional sales tax equal to 5% of the reduced price. What was the total cost of the aquarium?
[Answer]
The aquarium was bought for $120 x 50 / 100 = $60 less. So the marked down price of the aquarium was $120 - $60 = $60. Axel paid $60 x 5 / 100 = $3 additional for the sales tax. Therefore, the total cost of the aquarium was $60 + $3 = $63. The answer is 63.
