Question: Kendra has 4 packs of pens. Tony has 2 packs of pens. There are 3 pens in each pack. If Kendra and Tony decide to keep two pens each and give the remaining pens to their friends one pen per friend, how many friends will they give pens to?
Answer: Kendra has 4 packs x 3 pens / pack = 12 pens. Tony has 2 packs x 3 pens / pack = 6 pens. In total Kendra and Tony have 12 pens + 6 pens = 18 pens. If they each keep 2 pens, they keep 2 x 2 = 4 pens. They will be able to give a pen to 18 pens - 4 pens = 14 of their friends. The answer is 14.
[Question]Sam is stocking up on canned tuna. He got 9 cans at the supermarket, and had 5 coupons for 25 cents off a single can per coupon. He paid $20 and got $5.50 in change. How many cents does a can of tuna cost?
[Answer]His total without the coupons was $20 - $5.50 = $14.50. He had 5 coupons that each saved him 25 cents, so the full price of all the tuna is $14.50 + 5 * $0.25 = $15.75. He bought 9 cans of tuna, so each can costs $15.75 / 9 = $1.75. As 1 dollar has 100 cents 1.75 * 100 = 175 cents. The answer is 175.
