Question: Lionel went to the grocery store and bought 14 boxes of Graham crackers and 15 packets of Oreos. To make an Oreo cheesecake, Lionel needs 2 boxes of Graham crackers and 3 packets of Oreos. After making the maximum number of Oreo cheesecakes he can with the ingredients he bought, how many boxes of Graham crackers would he have left over?
Answer: Lionel has enough Graham crackers to make 14 / 2 = 7 Oreo cheesecakes. Lionel has enough Oreos to make 15 / 3 = 5 Oreo cheesecakes. Therefore, the maximum number of cheesecakes Lionel can make is 5. Lionel needs 2 * 5 = 10 boxes of Graham crackers to make 4 cheesecakes. He'll have 14 - 10 = 4 boxes left over. The answer is 4.

Question: A football club has a balance of $100 million. The club then sells 2 of its players at $10 million each, and buys 4 more at $15 million each. How much money is left in the club register in millions of dollars?
Answer: The 2 players are sold for a total of 2 * 10 = $20 million. So the club has 100 + 20 = $120 million. The cost of buying 4 more players at $15 million each is 4 * 15 = $60 million. So the club now has 120 – 60 = $60 million. The answer is 60.
[Question]James needs to get a new pair of glasses. His frames cost $200 and the lenses cost $500. Insurance will cover 80% of the cost of lenses and he has a $50 off coupon for frames. How much does everything cost?
[Answer]He gets 500 * .8 = $400 off the cost of lenses. That means the lenses cost 500 - 400 = $100. The frames cost 200 - 50 = $150. So he pays 100 + 150 = $250. The answer is 250.
[Question]The school decided to have a fundraiser to collect $750 for new basketball equipment. Families could donate $25, $50, or $100. Families who donated $25 got Bronze Status. Families who donated $50 got Silver Status. Families who donated $100 got Gold Status. With one day left in the fundraiser, the school has 10 Bronze Status families, 7 Silver Status Families and 1 Gold Status family. How much do they need to raise on the final day to reach their goal?
[Answer]
They collected $250 from Bronze Status families because 10 times 25 equals 250. They collected $350 from Silver Status families because 7 times 50 equals 350. They collected $100 from Gold Status families because 1 times 100 equals 100. Therefore, they collected $700 thus far because 250 plus 350 plus 100 equals 700. They need to collect $50 more because 750 minus 700 equals 50. The answer is 50.
