Q: Cappuccinos cost $2, iced teas cost $3, cafe lattes cost $1.5 and espressos cost $1 each. Sandy orders some drinks for herself and some friends. She orders three cappuccinos, two iced teas, two cafe lattes, and two espressos. How much change does she receive back for a twenty-dollar bill?
A: Find the total cost of the cappuccinos by multiplying the price by the quantity: 3 cappuccinos x $2 / cappuccino = $6. Then do the same for the iced teas: 2 iced teas x $3 / tea = $6. Then do the same for the cafe lattes: 2 lattes x $1.5 / latte = $3. Then do the same for the espressos: 2 espressos x $1 = $2. In total Sandy pays $6 + $6 + $3 + $2 = $17. Sandy will receive $20 - $17 = $3 in change. The answer is 3.
Question: Jimmy is going to sell pizzas at the carnival to make some money. The carnival only gave him 7 hours to do so. He bought a 22kg sack of flour to make his pizzas and he takes 10 min to make each pizza for the customers. At the end of the 7 hours, he saw some flour was left. Knowing that each pizza needs 0.5kg of flour to make, how many pizzas can he make to bring home with the flour left?
Answer: Each hour Jimmy makes 60min ÷ 10min / pizza = 6 Pizzas. The number of total pizzas made equals 7 hours x 6 pizzas / hour = 42 pizzas. The amount of total flour used equals 42 pizzas x 0.5 kg / pizza = 21 kg. The amount of flour left equals 22 kg - 21 kg = 1 kg. The number of pizzas Jimmy can make is 1kg ÷ 0.5kg / pizza = 2 pizzas. The answer is 2.

Question: Ivan has a bird feeder in his yard that holds two cups of birdseed. Every week, he has to refill the emptied feeder. Each cup of birdseed can feed fourteen birds, but Ivan is constantly chasing away a hungry squirrel that steals half a cup of birdseed from the feeder every week. How many birds does Ivan’s bird feeder feed weekly?
Answer: The squirrel steals 1 / 2 cup of birdseed every week, so the birds eat 2 - 1 / 2 = 1 1 / 2 cups of birdseed. Each cup feeds 14 birds, so Ivan’s bird feeder feeds 14 * 1 1 / 2 = 21 birds weekly. The answer is 21.
