Answer this question:Tony drives a car that gets 25 miles to the gallon. He drives 50 miles round trip to work 5 days a week. His tank holds 10 gallons. He begins the week with a full tank and when he runs out he fills up at the local gas station for $2 a gallon. How much money does Tony spend on gas in 4 weeks?
First, we need to determine how many miles Tony drives in 4 weeks. We do this by performing 50 * 5 = 250 miles per week. Next, we multiply the weekly total by 4 by performing 4 * 250 = 1000 miles in 4 weeks. Now, we need to find out how many times Tony needs to fill up his gas tank. His gas tank holds enough gas to last 25 * 10 = 250 miles. This means in 4 weeks, he needs to fill up his tank 1000 / 250 = 4 times. Since Tony's gas tank holds 10 gallons, this means he needs to pay for 4 * 10 - 40 gallons of gas in a month. Since gas costs $2 a gallon, this means Tony spends 40 * 2 = $80 on gas every month,.
The answer is 80.

Answer this question:Mrs. Thomson received an incentive worth $240. She spent 1/3 of the money on food and 1/5 of it on clothes. Then, she put in her savings account 3/4 of the remaining money. How much money did Mrs. Thomson save?
Mrs. Thomson spent $240 x 1 / 3 = $80 on food. She spent $240 x 1 / 5 = $48 on clothes. So she spent a total of $80 + $48 = $128 on food and clothes. Hence, she had $240 - $128 = $112 left after buying food and clothes. Then, Mrs. Thomson saved $112 x 3 / 4 = $84.
The answer is 84.

Answer this question:John reels in 3 crab baskets a week. Each basket holds 4 crabs. He collects crabs twice a week. Each crab sells for $3. How much money does he make?
He collects 3 * 4 = 12 crabs each time. He thus collects 12 * 2 = 24 crabs a week. So he makes 24 * 3 = $72 a week.
The answer is 72.
