Answer the following question.
Alex was having a cookout Friday night and planned to serve burgers to his guests. He planned to cook 3 burgers for each guest and had invited 10 friends over. 1 of his friends didn't eat meat and said they would bring their own food. Another one of his friends didn't eat bread and would not need the buns. The burger buns came 8 to a pack. How many packs of buns did Alex need to buy?
Step-by-step reasoning process: He invited 10 friends but he didn't need to cook for 1 of his friends so that left 10 - 1 = 9 friends to cook for. He was cooking 3 burgers per 9 guests so 3 * 9 = 27 burgers. He needed 27 burger buns but 1 guest wouldn't eat the buns so now he needs 27 - 3 = 24. He will need to buy 24 buns and they come 8 to a pack so he needs 24 / 8 = 3 packs of buns.
The answer is 3.

Answer the following question.
A charity is delivering chicken and rice dinners to a shelter for the hungry. They have a hundred plates to deliver. The rice cost ten cents a plate and the chicken cost forty cents a plate. How many dollars did the charity spend on the food for the dinners?
Step-by-step reasoning process: Each chicken and rice plate cost 10 + 40 = 50 cents. The charity spent 50 * 100 = 5000 cents for the dinners. There are 100 cents in a dollar, so the charity spent 5000 / 100 = $50 for the dinners.
The answer is 50.
