Q: Ellie takes her little brother down to the pond to teach him how to skip stones. After he takes his first throw, she gives him pointers to improve his technique. His second throw skips two more times across the water than his first. His third throw skips twice as many times as his second. His fourth throw skips 3 fewer times than his third throw. His fifth throw skips one more time than the fourth throw. If his fifth throw skipped 8 times across the water, how many skips did he make in total between all of his throws?
A: His fourth throw made 8 - 1 = 7 skips. His third throw made 7 + 3 = 10 skips. His second throw made 10 / 2 = 5 skips. His first throw made 5 - 2 = 3 skips. The total number of skips is 8 + 7 + 10 + 5 + 3 = 33 skips. The answer is 33.
Question: Tom attends a party that collects $2000. Half the school attended and the school had 400 people. How much would they have made if 300 people attended?
Answer: There were 400 / 2 = 200 people in attendance. So that means each person paid 2000 / 200 = $10. So if 300 people attended they would have made 300 * 10 = $3000. The answer is 3000.

Q: While on vacation in New York, Greg went out for a lunch that cost $100. If sales tax in New York is 4% and he left a 6% tip, how much did Greg pay?
A: The sales tax is worth $100 x 4 / 100 = $4. Greg left $100 x 6 / 100 = $6 tip. So, the total cost for the tax and the tip is $4 + $6 = $10. Therefore, Greg paid $100 + $10 = $110 in all. The answer is 110.
Question: A store puts out a product sample every Saturday. The last Saturday, the sample product came in boxes of 20. If they had to open 12 boxes, and they had five samples left over at the end of the day, how many customers tried a sample if the samples were limited to one per person?
Answer: The store opened 12 boxes of 20 products, so they put out 20 * 12 = 240 product samples. They had 5 samples left over, so 240 - 5 = 235 samples were used. Each customer could only have one sample, so 235 * 1 = 235 customers tried a sample. The answer is 235.
