Question: Lauren wanted to make burgers and fries for dinner. She needed a few things from the grocery store and bought the following: 2 pounds of hamburger meat that was on sale for $3.50 a pound. 1 pack of hamburger buns for $1.50. A head of lettuce for $1.00 and a large 1.5-pound tomato that was priced at $2.00 per pound. She also needed a jar of pickles that cost $2.50 and she had a $1.00 off coupon for that item. How much change would Lauren get back if she paid with a $20 bill?
Answer: She bought 2 pounds of hamburger meat at $3.50 per pound so 2 * 3.50 = $7.00. The tomato weighed 1.5 pounds and cost $2.00 per pound so 1.5 * 2 = $3.00. When you add up all her items she spent 7 + 1.50 + 1 + 3 + 2.50 = $15.00. Her items added up to $15.00 and she had a $1.00 coupon off pickles so 15 - 1 = $14.00. She paid with a $20.00 bill so 20 - 14 = $6.00 in change. The answer is 6.

Oranges are their second most popular fruit and will occupy half as many orchards as the lemons. Limes and grapefruits will split the remaining orchards. How many citrus orchards will be growing grapefruits?
