Leila went to the supermarket to get some groceries. Then she headed to her mechanic to get her automobile fixed. If fixing her automobile cost $350 which was $50 more than thrice the amount she spent at the supermarket, how much has she spent altogether?
Let's think: Reversing the steps to obtain the amount she spent at the supermarket, $50 less than $350 is $350 - $50 = $300. If $300 was thrice the amount she spent at the supermarket, then the amount spent at the supermarket was $300 / 3 = $100. In addition to what she spent fixing her auto, she spent $100 + $350 = $450 altogether.. The answer is: 450.

At Palm Meadows, there are 13 hotel rooms. Eight of the rooms have two beds in them and the rest have three beds. How many beds are there in total?
Let's think: There are 13 - 8 = 5 rooms with three beds. There are 5 * 3 = 15 beds for those hotel rooms that have three beds in them. There are 8 * 2 = 16 beds for those hotel rooms that have two beds in them. There are 15 + 16 = 31 beds in total.. The answer is: 31.

Samuel is going to the cinema with his brother, Kevin. They both have a total budget of $20 for their outing. Samuel buys his $14 ticket, then spends $6 on drinks and food. Kevin buys his ticket, then spends $2 on drinks. They have both used their entire budget. How much did Kevin spend on food?
Let's think: We know Kevin bought a ticket and drinks, and this cost him 14 + 2 = 16 dollars. Since Kevin spent his entire budget, his food must have cost 20 – 16 = 4 dollars.. The answer is: 4.

Twenty gallons of tea were poured into 80 containers. Geraldo drank 3.5 containers. How many pints of tea did Geraldo drink?
