[Question]George bought some food for his trip: a bottle of juice, a sandwich, and a bottle of milk. The sandwich was for $4, and the juice was two times more expensive. The bottle of milk cost was 75% of the total cost of the sandwich and juice. How much did George pay for his food?
[Answer]The juice was two times more expensive than the sandwich, so it was 4 * 2 = $8. The juice and the sandwich in total were a cost of 4 + 8 = $12. So the cost of one bottle of milk was 75 / 100 * 12 = $9. In total for all the food, George paid 12 + 9 = $21. The answer is 21.
Q: The age of Gladys is equal to twice the sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas. Billy is 3 times younger than Gladys who is 30 years old now. How old will Lucas be three years from now?
A: Billy's age is 30 / 3 = 10 years old. The sum of the ages of Billy and Lucas is 30 / 2 = 15. So, Lucas is 15 - 10 = 5 years old now. Therefore, Lucas will be 5 + 3 = 8 years old three years from now. The answer is 8.

[Question]Chastity made 12 angel food cakes to give to friends. She placed the cakes in boxes, and then walked them out to her car. But she had forgotten her keys. So, she placed the boxes of cakes in one stack on the hood of her car, and then she ran back into the house to get her keys.

Question: Kekai is running a sundae booth at the carnival. On Monday, he makes a total of 40 sundaes, and he puts 6 m&ms on each sundae. On Tuesday, he makes a total of 20 sundaes, and he puts 10 m&ms on each sundae. If each m&m pack contains 40 m&ms, how many m&m packs does Kekai use?

On Monday, Kekai uses 40 * 6 = 240 m&ms. On Tuesday, Kekai uses 20 * 10 = 200 m&ms. Kekai uses a total of 240 + 200 = 440 m&ms. Kekai uses a 440 / 40 = 11 m&m packs. The answer is 11.
