Question: Daniel collects Russian dolls that normally cost $4 each. He saves enough money to buy 15 Russian dolls. However, the price suddenly drops to $3 each. How many Russian dolls can he buy now at the discounted price, given his savings?
Answer: With the price of each doll at $4, this means he has saved a total of 15 * 4 = $60. When the price is lowered to $3 each, he can now purchase 60 / 3 = 20 dolls. The answer is 20.

Question: Haleigh decides that instead of throwing away old candles, she can use the last bit of wax combined together to make new candles. Each candle has 10% of it's original wax left. How many 5 ounce candles can she make if she has five 20 oz candles, 5 five ounce candles, and twenty-five one ounce candles?
Answer: She gets 2 ounces of wax from a 20 ounce candle because 20 x .1 = 2. She gets 10 ounces total from these candles because 5 x 2 = 10. She gets .5 ounces of wax from each five ounce candle because 5 x .1 = .5. She gets 1.5 ounces total from these candles because 5 x .5 = 2.5. She gets .1 ounces from each one ounce candle because 1 x .1 = .1. She gets 2.5 ounces from these candles because 25 x .1 = 2.5. She gets 15 ounces total because 10 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 15. She can make 3 candles because 15 / 5 = 3. The answer is 3.

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.
