Question: Jenny makes and freezes pans of lasagna all week so she can sell them at the market on the weekend. It costs Jenny $10.00 in ingredients to make 1 pan of lasagna. If she makes and sells 20 pans over the weekend at $25.00 apiece, how much does she make after factoring in expenses?
Answer: Each pan costs $10.00 to make so for 20 pans, it will cost 10 * 20 = $200.00. She sells each of the 20 pans for $25.00 each so she will make 20 * 25 = $500.00. She makes $500.00 and spent $200.00 on ingredients so she makes 500 - 200 = $300.00. The answer is 300.
[Question]Turner wants to ride the rollercoaster 3 times, the Catapult 2 times and the Ferris wheel once. It costs 4 tickets to ride the rollercoaster, 4 tickets to ride the Catapult and 1 ticket to ride the Ferris wheel. How many tickets does Turner need?
[Answer]The number of tickets needed for the rollercoaster is 3 rides × 4 tickets / ride = 12 tickets. The number of tickets needed for the Catapult is 2 rides × 4 tickets / ride = 8 tickets. The number of tickets needed for the Ferris wheel is 1 ride × 1 ticket / ride = 1 ticket. Turner needs 12 tickets + 8 tickets + 1 tickets = 21 tickets. The answer is 21.
Q: Josh has 85 marbles. There are three times as many blue marbles as red while the rest are yellow. If there are 14 red marbles, how many yellow marbles are there?

Question: A box has 2 dozen water bottles and half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles. How many bottles are in the box?
Answer: Since a dozen has 12 items, the box has 2 dozen water bottles, a total of 2 * 12 = 24 water bottles. The box also has half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles, meaning there are 1 / 2 * 12 = 6 more apple bottles than water bottles. The total number of apple bottles in the box is 24 + 6 = 30. In the box, there are a total of 30 + 24 = 54 bottles. The answer is 54.
[Question]Johny traveled South 40 miles, then turned East and traveled for 20 more miles than the distance he took to travel to the south. If he turned North and traveled twice the distance he had traveled to the East, calculate the total distance his journey took.
[Answer]If the distance he took traveling to the East is 20 miles more than the distance he took to travel to the south, he took 40 + 20 = 60 miles traveling to the East. Johny's total distance traveling to the south and then to the East is 60 + 40 = 100 miles. The journey to the North was 2 * 60 = 120, twice the distance he took traveling to the East. The whole journey took 100 + 120 = 220 miles. The answer is 220.
[Question]Dan spent an hour doing 400 work tasks at $0.25 each. Then Dan spent an hour doing 5 work tasks at $2.00 each. How much more did Dan make doing the good work compared to the lower-paid work?
[Answer]
Dan spent an hour doing 400 tasks * $.25 = $100. Dan spent an hour doing 5 tasks * $2.00 each = $10.00. Dan made $100 - $10 = $90.00 per hour more doing the higher paid work. The answer is 90.
