Question: Kyle bikes for 2 hours to work every day. Ten times the time he takes to travel to work and back is the same as the cost of buying a pack of snacks (in dollars). How much will Ryan pay, in dollars, to buy 50 packs of snacks?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: A round trip to work and back takes 2 * 2 = 4 hours. Ten times the time Kyle takes to travel to work and back is the same as the cost of buying a pack of snacks, meaning the packs are sold at 4 * 10 = $40 each. Ryan will pay $40 * 50 = $2000 to buy 50 packs of snacks?.
So the answer is 2000.


Question: Duke was at a garage sale when he spotted DVDs on sale. They were separated by price into 2 different boxes. In the first box, he found 10 movies that he wanted. These were $2.00 apiece. The second box was marked $5 each and he found 5 movies he wanted. What was the average price of each of the DVDs he bought?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: In the first box he bought 10 DVDs at $2.00 each, so he paid 10 * 2 = $20.00. In the second box he bought 5 DVDs at $5.00 each, so he paid 5 * 5 = $25.00. He bought 10 + 5 = 15 DVDs. He spent $20 + $25 = $45.00. The average price of each DVD is $45 / 15 = $3.00 each.
So the answer is 3.
