Question: Alice needs to sell $1000 of shoes to meet her quota. Adidas cost $45, Nike cost $60, and Reeboks cost $35. If she sells 8 Nikes, 6 Adidas's, and 9 Reeboks, how much is she short or above her goal?
Answer: The total dollar amount of Nike's sold is 8 * $60 = $480. The total dollar amount of Adidas's sold is 6 * $45 = $270. The total dollar amount of Reebok's sold is 9 * $35 = $315. The total dollar amount that Alice sold was $480 + $270 + $315 = $1065. Therefore, she sold above her goal by $1065 - $1000 = $65. The answer is 65.

Question: If we assume all thirty 4-wheel drive cars in the parking lot have their spare tire with them, how many tires are in the parking lot?
Answer: Each car has 4 tires + 1 spare = 5 tires. If there are 30 cars in the parking lot and each one has 5 tires, then the total number of tires is 30 * 5 = 150 tires. The answer is 150.

Question: Hamza has several empty buckets of different sizes, holding either 3, 5, or 6 liters. She fills the 5-liter bucket and pours as much as she can into the 3-liter bucket. Then, she pours the remainder into the 6-liter bucket. How much more water, in liters, can she put into the 6-liter bucket, without overflowing?
Answer: Pouring the 5 - liter bucket into the 3 - liter bucket leaves 5 - 3 = 2 liters, which go into the 6 - liter bucket. Then there are 6 - 2 = 4 liters that can be added. The answer is 4.

Question: Grandma Molly created statues of turtles for her front lawn. The first year, she created 4 statues and placed them on her lawn. The second year, she quadrupled the number of statues on her front lawn. In the third year, she added another 12 statues to the front lawn, but a hail storm broke 3 of the statues, which she threw away. In the fourth year, she added twice as many new statues as had been broken the year before. At the end of the four years, how many turtle statues were on her front lawn?
Answer:
The second year, she quadrupled the number of statues in her front lawn, adding to the original 4 and bringing the total number to 4 * 4 = 16 statues. In the third year, she added another 12 statues, bringing the total number to 16 + 12 = 28 statues. But a hail storm broke 3, reducing the number to 28 - 3 = 25 statues. In the fourth year, she added twice as many new statues as had been broken the year before, adding 2 * 3 = 6 statues. Thus, the addition of these 6 statues brought the total number of statues to 25 + 6 = 31 statues. The answer is 31.
