Q: A concert ticket costs $40. Mr. Benson bought 12 tickets and received a 5% discount for every ticket bought that exceeds 10. How much did Mr. Benson pay in all?
A: Mr. Benson had a 5% discount for each of the 12 - 10 = 2 tickets. So, those two tickets had a $40 x 5 / 100 = $2 discount each. Hence, each ticket cost $40 - $2 = $38 each. Thus, two discounted tickets amount to $38 x 2 = $76. And the other ten tickets amount to $40 x 10 = $400. Hence, Mr. Benson paid a total of $400 + $76 = $476. The answer is 476.

Q: Nadia was sent to the flower shop to buy 20 roses and 3/4 times as many Lillies as roses. If roses cost $5 each and lilies cost twice as much each, calculate the total amount of money Nadia used to buy the flowers.
A: The total cost for roses is 20 * 5 = $100. Nadia bought 3 / 4 * 20 = 15 lilies. Each lily costs 5 * 2 = $10. She used 10 * 15 = $150 in total to buy lilies. To buy all the flowers, Nadia used 150 + 100 = $250. The answer is 250.

Q: Tobias is buying a new pair of shoes that costs $95. He has been saving up his money each month for the past three months. He gets a $5 allowance a month. He also mows lawns and shovels driveways. He charges $15 to mow a lawn and $7 to shovel. After buying the shoes, he has $15 in change. If he mows 4 lawns, how many driveways did he shovel?
A:
He saved up $110 total because 95 + 15 = 110. He saved $15 from his allowance because 3 x 5 = 15. He earned $60 mowing lawns because 4 x 15 = 60. He earned $35 shoveling driveways because 110 - 60 - 15 = 35. He shoveled 5 driveways because 35 / 7 = 5. The answer is 5.
