Question: Turner wants to ride the rollercoaster 3 times, the Catapult 2 times and the Ferris wheel once. It costs 4 tickets to ride the rollercoaster, 4 tickets to ride the Catapult and 1 ticket to ride the Ferris wheel. How many tickets does Turner need?
Answer: The number of tickets needed for the rollercoaster is 3 rides × 4 tickets / ride = 12 tickets. The number of tickets needed for the Catapult is 2 rides × 4 tickets / ride = 8 tickets. The number of tickets needed for the Ferris wheel is 1 ride × 1 ticket / ride = 1 ticket. Turner needs 12 tickets + 8 tickets + 1 tickets = 21 tickets. The answer is 21.
[Question]The bakery made 95 muffins. They will be packed in boxes with 5 muffins in each box. If there are only 10 available boxes, how many boxes do they still need to pack all the muffins?
[Answer]A total of 10 x 5 = 50 muffins will be packed in 10 boxes. So 95 - 50 = 45 muffins still need to be packed in the boxes. Thus, 45 / 5 = 9 boxes are still needed to pack all those 45 muffins. The answer is 9.
Q: The big bottles of mango juice hold 30 ounces and cost 2700 pesetas each. The small bottles hold 6 ounces and cost 600 pesetas each. How many pesetas would be saved by buying a big bottle instead of smaller bottles for the same volume of juice?
A: The equivalent is 30 / 6 = 5 small bottles. Five small bottles at 600 pesetas each is 5 * 600 = 3000 pesetas. The savings is 3000 - 2700 = 300. The answer is 300.

[Question]Mark realizes that a lot of the friends on his friends list are people he doesn't talk to anymore. He keeps 40% of his friends list and then contacts the rest. Of those only 50% respond. He removes everyone who did not respond. If he had 100 friends how many does he have left after the removal?
[Answer]He contacted 1 - .4 = .6 of his friends. So he contacted 100 * .6 = 60 people. So he removes 60 / 2 = 30 people. So he has 100 - 30 = 70 friends left. The answer is 70.
