Q: A married couple and their 6 children are ordering some pizza. If the couple want 3 slices each and the children want 1 slice each, how many 4-slice pizzas should they order?
A: The couple want 3 slices each for a total of 2 * 3 = 6 slices. The children want 1 slice each for a total of 1 * 6 = 6 slices. They want 6 + 6 = 12 slices in total. Each pizza has 4 slices so they need 12 / 4 = 3 pizzas. The answer is 3.

[Question]Jerome has 20 classmates on his cell phone contact list. He has half as many out of school friends as classmates on his contact list. He also has his two parents and his sister on his contact list. How many people are on Jerome's contact list?
[Answer]Jerome has 20 classmates on the list, and has half as many out of school friends on there so he has 20 / 2 = 10 out of school friends on the contact list. He has 2 parents and 1 sister on the contact list, for 2 + 1 = 3 family members on the contact list. Adding the classmates, out of school friends and family members together we get 20 + 10 + 3 = 33 people on his contact list. The answer is 33.

Question: Kennedy's house is 600 square feet larger than 4 times Benedict's house. If Kennedy's house is 10000 square feet, how many square feet is Benedict's house?
Answer: Let the number of square feet in Benedict's house be x. So, we can write the equation 4 * x + 600 = 10000. Subtracting 600 from both sides we get 4 * x = 9400. Dividing both sides by 4 we get x = 2350 square feet. The answer is 2350.
Q: Josie's mom gave her a $20 bill and asked her to go to the store for a few items. The list included a carton of milk for $4.00, a loaf of bread for $3.50, a box of laundry detergent for $10.25 and 2 pounds of bananas that were $0.75 per pound. Her mom also gave her a coupon for $1.25 off of the laundry detergent. At checkout, the clerk told her the milk was 1/2 off today. How much money did Josie have left over after she bought all of the groceries?
A:
The milk cost $4.00 but was on sale for 1 / 2 off so 4 * .50 = $2.00. She bought 2 pounds of bananas at $0.75 per pound so 2 * .75 = $1.50. She had a $1.25 coupon off of laundry detergent so 10.25 - 1.25 = $9.00. When you add all of her purchases together then 2 + 1.50 + 3.50 + 9.00 = $16.00. She paid with a $20 bill so 20 - 16 = $4 left over. The answer is 4.
