Question: Lolita can drink 3 boxes of milk during weekdays. During Saturdays, she can drink twice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays, and during Sundays, she can drink thrice the number of boxes of milk than on the weekdays. How many boxes of milk does she drink per week?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: She can drink 3 x 5 = 15 boxes of milk during weekdays. She can drink 3 x 2 = 6 boxes of milk on Saturdays. She can also drink 3 x 3 = 9 boxes of milk during Sundays. Therefore, Lolita can drink 15 + 6 + 9 = 30 boxes of milk per week.
So the answer is 30.


Question: In the second hour of a storm it rains 7 inches more than twice the amount it rained the first hour. The total amount of rain in the first two hours is 22 inches. How much did it rain in the first hour?
Answer with step-by-step thinking: Let x be the amount of rain in the first hour. It rained 2x + 7 inches in the second hour. x + 2x + 7 = 22. 3x + 7 = 22. 3x = 15. x = 5 inches.
So the answer is 5.
