Question: Elizabeth wants to buy the steak knives from a bridal registry as a wedding gift. The couple registered for 2 steak knife sets and each set contains 4 steak knives. If Elizabeth buys both sets and they cost $80.00 per set, how much does each single steak knife cost?
Answer: Each steak knife set has 4 steak knives and Elizabeth bought 2 sets so there are 4 * 2 = 8 steak knives in total. Each steak knife set costs $80.00 and she bought 2 sets so she spent $80 * 2 = $160.00. Both sets cost $160.00 and there are 8 knives in total so each knife costs 160 / 8 = $20.00 each. The answer is 20.

Q: On Monday, a restaurant sells forty dinners. On Tuesday, it sells 40 more dinners than it did Monday. On Wednesday, it sells half the amount of dinners it sold on Tuesday. On Thursday they changed their recipe, and then sold 3 more dinners than they did on Wednesday. How many dinners were sold in those 4 days?
A: On Tuesday the restaurant sells 40 + 40 = 80 dinners. On Wednesday the restaurant sells 80 / 2 = 40 dinners. On Thursday the restaurant sells 40 + 3 = 43 dinners. In those 4 days, the restaurant sells a total of 40 + 80 + 40 + 43 = 203 dinners. The answer is 203.
Question: American carmakers produce 5 650 000 cars each year. Then they distribute it to 5 car suppliers. The first supplier receives 1 000 000 cars each. The second supplier receives 500 000 cars more while the third car supplier receives the same number as the first and second suppliers combined. The fourth and the fifth supplier receive an equal number of cars. How many cars do the fourth and fourth suppliers each receive?
Answer: The second supplier receives 1 000 000 + 500 000 = 1 500 000 cars. The third supplier receives 1 000 000 + 1 500 000 = 2 500 000 cars. So the first to third suppliers receive a total of 1 000 000 + 1 500 000 + 2 500 000 = 5 000 000 cars. Thus, 5 650 000 - 5 000 000 = 650 000 cars are left to be divided by the two other suppliers. Therefore, the fourth and fifth suppliers receive 650 000 / 2 = 325 000 cars each. The answer is 325000.
