[Question]Jamie and Oliver are planning to go on a vacation. A plane ticket costs $24 for each person and a hotel stay costs $12 for each person per day. How much money will they spend on the vacation if they stay for 3 days?
[Answer]Jamie and Oliver will spend $24 x 2 = $48 for the plane ticket. They will spend $12 x 2 = $24 for staying in the hotel per day. So, the total amount they will spend on the hotel for a 3 - day stay is $24 x 3 = $72. Therefore, the total amount they will spend on their vacation is $72 + $48 = $120. The answer is 120.

[Question]8 years ago James was twice Janet's age. In 15 years James will turn 37. Susan was born when Janet turned 3. How old will Susan turn in 5 years?
[Answer]James is 37 - 15 = 22 years old. So 8 years ago he was 22 - 8 = 14 years old. That means Janet was 14 / 2 = 7 years old 8 years ago. So Janet is now 7 + 8 = 15 years old. That means Susan is 15 - 3 = 12 years old. So in 5 years she will be 12 + 5 = 17 years old. The answer is 17.
[Question]Borgnine wants to see 1100 legs at the zoo. He has already seen 12 chimps, 8 lions, and 5 lizards. He is next headed to see the tarantulas. How many tarantulas does he need to see to meet his goal?
[Answer]
He has seen 48 chimp legs because 12 x 4 = 48. He has seen 32 lion legs because 8 x 4 = 32. He has seen 20 lizard legs because 5 x 4 = 20. He has seen 100 total legs because 48 + 32 + 20 = 100. He has to see 1000 tarantulas legs because 1100 - 100 = 1000. He has to see 125 tarantulas because 1000 / 8 = 125. The answer is 125.
